Note: See Table 1 above for variable definitions. T1, T2, and T3 refer to the three messaging treatments. T1 refers to the CDC Treatment, in which President Trump recites CDC recommendations regarding the use of face masks or cloth face coverings. T2 refers to the Voluntary Treatment, in which President Trump additionally emphasizes the voluntary nature of wearing a mask. T3 refers to the Refusal Treatment, in which President Trump additionally emphasizes that he will not wear a mask. Trump varies from 1 (strongly unsupportive of President Trump) to 5 (strongly supportive of President Trump). No COVID Exp is the percent of people from each sample who have not tested positive or negative and do not know anyone (or know anyone who knows anyone) who has tested positive or died of COVID-19.
