A majority of Americans say ending the federal mask mandate is a good decision, a Rasmussen Reports survey released Friday found.
Most, 51 percent, said it is a “good decision, while one-third, 34 percent, said it is a “bad decision.” Opinions are divided along party lines, as 72 percent of Republicans said it is a good decision, compared to 51 percent of Democrats who believe it is a bad decision. A plurality of independents, 48 percent, said it is a good decision, compared to 31 percent who said it is bad to remove the mask mandate.
The survey was taken April 20-21, 2022, among 1,000 U.S. adults and has a margin of error of +/- 3 percent.
