However, Americans believe certain industries and businesses deserve government financial assistance more than others.

Respondents were asked about 11 industries that have been hit especially hard by the economic fallout from the outbreak and whether or not they believed the government should provide financial assistance to those industries.

A majority of respondents at least somewhat agree that retail and grocery stores should qualify for assistance, while cruises and casinos should not.

The following are the 11 industries in order of increasing share of respondents saying they somewhat or mostly agree that the government should provide assistance:.

The majority of respondents believe casinos shouldn't qualify for financial assistance from the government, with 40% strongly disagreeing that the industry should qualify.

Although the $2 trillion stimulus package helped various industries, Business Insider's Joseph Zeballos-Roig reported the package didn't include aid for the cruise line industry because "most major cruise liners aren't incorporated in the United States, meaning they set up their operations offshore." .

Similar to art institutions, over 60% of respondents at least somewhat agree that museums should receive government assistance.

Brunswick noted in their analysis that there is more than a 10 percentage point difference in support for government assistance between grocery stores and retail, the second highest sector

Grocery stores also had the highest share of respondents that strongly agree out of the 11 industries at 53%.
