The poll showed 80 percent of registered voters approve of limiting gatherings to ten people or less; 77 percent agree with orders to stay home except for “essential activities.” Eighty-three percent supported closing schools and also support requirements that people traveling from other states quarantine themselves when entering Texas. Two-thirds support requiring businesses deemed “non-essential” to close.
