Georgia had an early surge of the virus, and now cases are spiking again. Brian Kemp has refused to learn a thing.

With the pandemic continuing to spread across America, 1Q revisited our home state of Georgia, which moved ahead of New Jersey into the top five states in America for total cases this week. In addition to checking in on questions asked of Georgians in April and May, we asked some topical questions about mask wearing…

For its new survey, 1Q, a digital research firm, tracked responses from 500 people in Florida. According to their analysis, 54.4% of Floridians think it’s “very” important to wear a mask in a restaurant; another 26.8% think it’s “somewhat” important.

According to new national and state surveys taken on Monday and published by leading market research platform 1Q, findings show fewer Texans (64%) wear masks “always” or “often” compared to the national average (67%), and much less than other large states hit by the pandemic, including Florida (71%), California (84%), and New York (85%).

Market research company 1Q surveyed people in the four biggest states, California, New York, Texas and Florida. It found 85 and 84% of New Yorkers and Californians respectively always or often wore masks- 84% when outside, the number dropped down to 71% in Florida and 64% in Texas.

A recent state and national poll revealed that consumers are overwhelmingly in favor of wearing masks in restaurants and bars. 

The market research service firm 1Q found in its survey that 48% of respondents cited outdoor seating as the element that would make them feel safest about dining out again.

1Q, a market research platform, and QSR crafted a series of questions to examine consumer sentiment as restaurants continue to reopen across the country.
