Figure 2. Association Between Time, Sociodemographic Characteristics, and Trust (Coefficient Plots)
Source: Authors’ calculations based on surveys 2 through 29 of the 2020 Axios/Ipsos Coronavirus Poll, administered March 20 to October 26, 2020 (Ipsos 2020).
Note: Each figure presents point estimates and 95 percent confidence intervals from a different regression. Trust is measured on a continuous scale from 0 to 1, 0 representing no trust in the institution to look out for you and your family, and 1 representing a great deal of trust. All regressions also include state-level pandemic severity and policy responses and state fixed effects and use Axios/Ipsos survey weights. “Survey” is a continuous variable ranging from 0 (first survey) to 1 (final survey), indicating change over time. The variables “Independent” party ID, “Less than high school” educational attainment, “Income 400-800% FPL,” “White, non-Hispanic” race, and age “40–64” are omitted as base categories. For full regression results, see table A.3.
