When the latest coronavirus variant from India emerged, it quickly jumped to the United States and went directly to those Donald Trump influenced to wear no masks. This variant is worse than any other version. It is far easier to catch, causes stronger symptoms, and appears to last longer. Unfortunately, it has an affinity for younger people. With an easy cure, what causes people to avoid getting the shot?

It appeared there was more than one answer to that question. The latest ABC News/Washington Post poll showed a significant number of vaccine-hesitant Americans, three in 10. They rejected the shot saying not only had they not received it, but they also had no intention of getting it at any point. The Fourth of July will prove to be a rapid accelerant among this group of individuals.  And 79 percent fully believed they would never catch the coronavirus.

Of all the people catching COVID-19, a full 25 percent of all new cases were the Delta variant.

  • 60 percent of all Americans have had at least one dose of the coronavirus vaccine.
  • the president’s goal of 70 percent getting the vaccine by July 4 missed its mark, only 66.8 percent had.
  • among those not vaccinated, “74%, up from 55% in April — say they probably or definitely won’t get a shot.”

The poll showed that:

‘Overall just 45% think the government is accurately describing the risk of the delta variant; 35% say it’s exaggerating it, with 18% unsure. Several groups are especially likely to say it’s being exaggerated, including Republicans (57%), conservatives (55%), evangelical white Protestants (49%) and rural residents (47%).’

With large venues opening once again and the vaccinated not wearing their masks, it became difficult for people to realize the coronavirus was still quite active. Yet, only 16 percent of Americans believe their neighborhood had fully recovered. Only 18 percent of them were confident “the country has learned lessons that will help it through the next pandemic.”

The partisan divide split in America continued to deepen. A full 62 percent of the country approved of President Biden’s performance handling the pandemic.  This included one-third of Republicans.

Biden, for his part, enjoyed broad approval, 62 percent for handling the pandemic (including a third of Republicans). Just 50 percent of Americans approved of his job performance in general.

The 50 percent that President Biden enjoyed was confusing. There were 94 percent in the Democratic party versus a mere eight percent from the GOP. That represents an 86-point partisan gap.Screen-Shot-2021-07-04-at-10.03.11-AM Approval Of Biden Policy Crosses 60% Threshold As GOP Sinks Corruption Crime Featured Politics Top Stories

Among those who have had at least one vaccination or will probably do so:

  • 93 percent were Democrats
  • 49 percent were Republicans
  • 65 percent were Independents

This ABC News/Washington Post poll interviews occurred via  landlines and cell phones from June 27 through June 30, 2021. Interviewees included Democrats 30 percent, Republicans 24 percent, Independents 37 percent. The poll was offered in English and Spanish among a random sample of 907 adults. The margin of error was 3.5 +/- percent.
