Majority of Dems finally agree that the pandemic is over

Gallup has asked Americans whether they think the COVID-19 pandemic is over since June 2021, and until now, found less than half saying it was. This includes a 49% reading in February. Since then, the percentage of Americans who think the pandemic is over has jumped 15 percentage points to 64%, while 36% say it has not ended yet.

Although Americans across party lines increasingly believe the pandemic is over, Democrats’ views have changed the most since February. For the first time in Gallup’s trend, a majority of Democrats, 51%, now say the pandemic has ended, marking a 23-point increase since earlier this year. At the same time, Republicans’ (84%) and independents’ (65%) views of the pandemic’s demise have grown by nine and 10 points, respectively.

[I’m amazed that ANYONE thinks the pandemic is still on, especially in the US. Even Joe Biden was forced to admit that the emergency was over two months ago, which Gallup credits with getting that 23-point jump among Democrats. They really like that emergency power, eh? — Ed]
