More Americans plan to get COVID-19 vaccine

Plus, pandemic's long-term financial impact weighs heavily on many March 6, 2021 Weekly Roundup The latest findings from Pew Research Center · Subscribe ↗ Growing share of Americans say they plan to get a COVID-19 vaccine – or already have A rising share of Americans say they intend to get a coronavirus vaccine (50%) – or already have (19%) – and this increase has been especially pronounced among Black Americans. Those disinclined to be vaccinated cite concerns about side effects, the pace of vaccine development and a desire for more information as top reasons why. About three-quarters of Americans see link between vaccination efforts and economic improvement Majority of U.S. adults see local administration of vaccine in positive light See all coronavirus research A year into the pandemic, long-term financial impact weighs heavily on many Americans Americans are feeling somewhat better about their personal finances than they were early in the COVID-19 pandemic. Still, about half of non-retired adults say the economic impact of the coronavirus outbreak will make it harder for them to achieve their long-term financial goals. Among those who say their financial situation has gotten worse during the pandemic, 44% think it will take them three years or more to get back to where they were a year ago. More than four-in-ten U.S. adults say they or someone in their household has lost a job or wages since the beginning of the coronavirus outbreak In their own words, Americans describe the struggles and silver linings of the COVID-19 pandemic We gave the public a chance to tell us in their own words how the pandemic has affected them in their personal lives. The vast majority of Americans (89%) mentioned at least one negative change in their own lives, while a smaller share (though still a 73% majority) mentioned at least one unexpected upside. A year of U.S. public opinion on the pandemic Early in the pandemic, Americans were united on a number of issues – but there was less common ground as time went on. Indeed, the biggest takeaway about U.S. public opinion in the first year of the coronavirus outbreak may be the extent to which the decidedly nonpartisan virus met with an increasingly partisan response. Most Americans support tough stance toward China on human rights, economic issues Roughly nine-in-ten U.S. adults consider China a competitor or enemy, rather than a partner. Many also support taking a firmer approach to the bilateral relationship, whether by promoting human rights in China, getting tougher on China economically or limiting Chinese students studying abroad in the United States.  In their own words: What Americans think about China Decoded: What different survey modes and question types can tell us about Americans’ views of China What 2020’s election poll errors tell us about the accuracy of issue polling Given the errors in 2016 and 2020 election polling, how much should we trust polls that attempt to measure opinions on issues? A Center analysis of questions from nearly a year’s worth of surveys finds that election poll errors like those seen last year would alter measures of opinion on issues by an average of less than 1 percentage point. With fewer state governments divided by party than in years past, GOP has edge in redistricting Immigrants with Temporary Protected Status could be offered a path to U.S. citizenship Americans put low priority on promoting democracy abroad From our research 78% The share of Black Americans who say they know someone who has been hospitalized or died from COVID-19.
