Poll: Worry about contracting COVID hits new low in U.S.

This latest finding, from Gallup's April 19-25 COVID-19 probability-based web panel survey, is five percentage points lower than it was in March and 19 points lower than in February. The highest reading, 59%, was recorded last summer, but it was nearly as high (57%) at the end of 2020 as the vaccine rollout was just beginning. Since then, Americans' level of worry has steadily fallen as vaccinations in the U.S. have risen sharply. Still, one-third of those who are fully or partially vaccinated are worried about getting COVID-19, as are 44% of those who plan to get the vaccine but have not done so. Yet just 13% of U.S. adults who do not plan to be vaccinated express worry. While worry has fallen among all partisans, Democrats' has fallen the most, from 69% in February to 43% now. At the same time, Republicans' level of concern has dropped from 27% to 14% and independents' from 43% to 27%.
