In other poll findings, Biden currently holds a job rating of 54% approve and 41% disapprove. More white Americans (54%) than people of color (45%) report having already received a shot. Democrats (67%) are more likely than independents (47%) and Republicans (36%) to report being vaccinated. Just over half (51%) of the adult population reports having already received at least one Covid jab and another 14% say they will get the vaccine as soon as they are allowed. There are no discernable differences by race, though, with similar number of whites (22%) and people of color (20%) saying they will avoid getting the vaccine if they can. Demographically, adults under age 65 (25%) continue to be more likely than seniors (11%) to rule out getting the vaccine. Currently, 22% of independents say they want to avoid getting the vaccine altogether. Partisanship remains the main distinguishing factor among those who want to avoid the vaccine altogether, with 43% of Republicans versus just 5% of Democrats saying this. On the other hand, it might not make it all that much worse since much of this reluctance is really ingrained in partisan identity,” said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute. The recent news about J&J vaccines is probably not going to help that situation. “The number of people who have been skittish about the vaccine has dropped as more Americans line up for the shot, but the hard core group who want to avoid it at all costs has barely budged. However, the number who say they want to let other people get it first to see how it goes before getting it themselves has dropped – from 21% in March to 12% now. Currently, 21% of Americans claim they will never get the vaccine if they can avoid it, which is down a statistically insignificant 3 points from prior polls (24% in both January and March).
Nearly half of the public feels the country is heading in the right direction, which is an eight-year high in Monmouth’s national polling.Ī rapid increase in Covid vaccinations over past month has not made much of a dent in the number of Americans who remain opposed to getting the shot.
The Monmouth (“Mon-muth”) University Poll also finds that President Joe Biden continues to get positive job ratings overall as well as high marks for his handling of the pandemic. West Long Branch, NJ – About 1 in 5 American adults remain unwilling to get the Covid vaccine, even as more people are getting the shot.
