only see it as a financial issue: report

According to a report from Axios, a focus group of voters in swing state Minnesota showed that many of them are willing to absolve Donald Trump for his bumbling response to the coronavirus pandemic as long as the stock market bounces back.
While noting that the group is a small sample, that included 10 voters who flipped from Barack Obama in 2012 to Trump in 2016 and one who switched from Mitt Romney in 2012 to Hillary Clinton in 2016, the report points out a surprising take by some voters as the country deals with the health crisis.
According to Alexi McCammond of Axios, These participants said they were not concerned about catching coronavirus, much less dying from it. But they were concerned about their financial investments taking a hit as a result of investor and consumer panic and disease containment practices, and they were uneasy about recent stock market hits.
One focus group participant identified only as Crystal T. explained, I think he has a limited impact on the economy as a whole, especially in the world economy. So I think coronavirus is a temporary thing. Its not going to affect anything long term, and it wouldnt affect my decision of voting for him or not.
