A slight majority of Americans support a return to wearing masks and social distancing guidelines to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, according to a new poll released this week.
The poll, which was taken before the CDC released new indoor mask guidelines last week, found that 52% of Americans support renewing mask and distancing protocols in their state. About 46% were opposed.
“I think Americans acknowledge that the CDC and other health agencies have to deal with a lot of uncertainty,” Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute, said in a statement. Public concern about another pandemic surge has increased during the past month. For instance, about 57% of people polled in June said they thought another wave would happen if not enough people were vaccinated. Now, that’s increased to 65%. Meanwhile, the number of people who are “very concerned” increased from 26% to 44%.
