Poll: Biden earns high marks on pandemic but many Republicans resist vaccination

Today, more than 6 in 10 Americans say they approve of the job the president has done in dealing with the pandemic, almost identical to findings in April as he neared the end of his first 100 days in office. His overall approval stands at 50 percent positive and 42 percent negative, figures that are also virtually the same as in April... One low mark for the president comes on the issue of immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border, where 33 percent of Americans say they approve of how he is handling the issue, amid a surge of migrants attempting to cross into the country. A slight majority (51 percent) say they disapprove, including 90 percent of Republicans. Sixteen percent overall say they have no opinion... The differences between Republicans and Democrats on the issue of vaccinations are stark, just as they were about reopening the economy during the worst of the pandemic. The survey finds that 86 percent of Democrats have received at least one shot of a vaccine, compared with 45 percent of Republicans. Another 7 percent of Democrats say they are likely to do so, compared with 4 percent of Republicans. But while 6 percent of Democrats say they aren’t likely to get vaccinated, 47 percent of Republicans fall into that camp, with 38 percent of Republicans overall saying they will definitely not get shots against the virus.
