NEW: Americans expressed broad support for mask mandates, with 67% supporting school districts requiring students, faculty and staff to wear masks. As many support state or local orders requiring masks in public places, per a new ABC News/WaPo poll.'
On the policy front, the survey finds broad support for mask mandates, with smaller majorities lining up behind vaccine requirements:
Close to half of all adults, 52%, support businesses requiring vaccination for employees who come into work – but that ranges from 45% among people who work for pay to 66% of all others. Many fewer people who work for an employer, 18%, say their employer currently has a vaccine mandate in place. The survey touches on a few items unrelated to the pandemic. In one result, Biden has a 45-49% approval rating for handling the economy, with approval down 7 percentage points since it last was measured in April. Also 53% support $3.5 trillion in federal spending on new or expanded social programs, educational assistance and efforts to address climate change. Forty-one percent are opposed.
Another key predictor of vaccine uptake is the sense that it's a responsibility to protect others, not just a personal choice. Yet the public only divides on this: 50% call it a personal choice; 48%, a broader responsibility. Among unvaccinated people, the share calling it a personal choice soars to 91%, and 8 in 10 of them feel strongly about this. Among the vaccinated, by contrast, 62% say it's a responsibility to others.
Notably, among unvaccinated adults, only 16% say people who care about them have encouraged them to get a shot, versus 58% among vaccinated adults -- evidence of how establishing a social norm of vaccination is another way to encourage uptake.
