About one in five (21%) are ready to return to normal right now; 36% say they would return to their activities once the number of new cases of coronavirus in their state declines significantly; 31% say they would return to normal life once there are no new cases in their state; and 12% say they will return to their day-to-day activities once a vaccine has been developed.

Two-thirds of Americans fall into the two camps that gauge their return to normalcy based on their state’s progress in decreasing new cases to some degree — but each of these camps has shrunk since Gallup’s early April measure. Meanwhile, each of the two absolutist camps has expanded over the course of the month. The percentage of Americans who say they are ready to get back to normal routines right now is now up eight percentage points since early April. The percentage of those who won’t return until a vaccine is developed is up five points.
