The latest Economist/YouGov Poll offers a sign that Americans may be returning to at least some of their pre-pandemic way of life this Thanksgiving. More will be traveling for the holiday than did last year, though most will stay near home. Just over half will be reaching out beyond their immediate households, joining others in celebration. Last year, just one-third did. Like last year, many more Democrats than Republicans won’t share their Thanksgiving table with people they don’t live with.

That mirrors the broader difference between Democrats and Republicans around COVID-19 concern. Two-thirds of Democrats, compared with only about one-quarter of Republicans, are worried about a COVID outbreak linked to Thanksgiving celebrations.

Caution and concern around Thanksgiving also is greater among people who have gotten doses of a vaccine intended to protect them from infection and serious illness. Americans who have received at least one first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine are less likely to be celebrating indoors with people outside their households than are Americans who say they will not get vaccinated. And the people who reject vaccines generally are less concerned than vaccinated Americans about the possibility that they might personally contract COVID-19.
