"SNIP.....

Democrats in Iowa are more than twice as likely as Republicans to wear a face covering in public, a recent poll shows.

According to new results published in a Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll, 76 percent of Iowa Democrats said they wear a face covering almost all or most of the time, compared to 37 percent of Iowa Republicans.

The poll also reported that 52 percent of political independents in Iowa say they wear a face mask in public.

The survey, which was taken June 7-10, showed that 36 percent of Iowans — regardless of political affiliation — said they wear a face covering almost all or most of the time, compared to 26 percent who answered they "typically never" wear a face covering while out in public.

Maybe masks are a new wedge issue?
