Abstract

Using data from multiple different studies, I will be examining the impact that political partisanship had on policy implementation in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to a consensus in the United States that polarization has continuously increased since 2016 I will be investigating if the worldwide pandemic has increased polarization, or if there is a general falsity among the United States public. Furthermore, the impact of this perceived rise in polarization on the necessary implementation of policies during the pandemic will be investigated further. A perceived partisan polarization in the United States did have an impact on policy during the COVID-19 pandemic at local and national levels.
