It's so much more than that. I think there's a bunch of camps (what i list below is certainly not all inclusive and just based on different people I know).

Anxious to end the lock down
Some small business owners.
Some medical personnel who are reeling from lack of electives.
Some more conservative folks that are worried this will damage the economy and be used to blame Trump.
More libertarian minded folks that see this as an infringement upon civil liberties.
Some employees that are worried about income.
Folks that don't feel personally at risk due to lack of known demographic risk factors.

Worried / less inclined to end the lock down
Folks viewing predominately through a public health lens - epidemiologists and front line health care healthcare workers (especially in ICU).
Some more liberal folks that are naturally disenchanted by how Trump is handling this.
People who can work from home and maintain their income (here it's a big plus ... more family time). Add retirees in this camp.
People with known risk factors or co-morbities (or with family members that have these)
IT's not simple to say left vs right. it's more complicated than that
