Angelenos Overwhelmingly Support Strict Stay Home Orders, Even As 58% Report Losing Income

New research from Loyola Marymount University's Center for the Study of Los Angeles finds widespread economic hardship — with immigrants appearing to suffer more than other groups — even as the vast majority of L.A. County residents believe strong measures are needed to deal with the coronavirus pandemic.

So far Angelenos have been told to stay home, to stop going to work or school, to wear masks in public, and to keep their distance even from the people they love. But many seem ready and willing to endure even more restrictions if it means stopping the spread of the coronavirus.

The current stay-at-home order has almost universal support (95%) among L.A. County residents. Nearly a third actually say the local government has not done enough

When you look at individual measures such as shutting public transit or closing all airports, support for new restrictions looks even more robust.
