PHOENIX — Gov. Doug Ducey’s “Stay Home, Stay Healthy, Stay Connected” executive order is being heeded by a majority of Arizona voters, according to polling data released Tuesday.
Data collected by Phoenix-based research firm OH Predictive Insights found that 82% of likely voters in Arizona are following Ducey’s order while 16% are not.
Of the respondents, 12% claimed they were not leaving their homes for any reason and 45% said they were extremely concerned about the spread of coronavirus in Arizona — up from just 17% in March.
Only 3% of likely voters said they had not altered their day-to-day lives since the order had been implemented.
OH Predictive Insights’ polling data was collected by conducting 600 phone surveys April 7-8 with Arizonans likely to vote in the 2020 general election.
