AP-NORC poll: Support for restrictions, virus worries wane

FILE- In this June 22, 2020, file photo two women eat lunch indoors at Portside Restaurant in Salisbury, Mass., after COVID-19 state guidelines allowed for indoor dining. A new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows Americans becoming less concerned about infection and less supportive of restrictions.

The survey finds that what was once unified opinion about the pandemic has eroded over the past two months. Half of Americans now favor stay-at-home orders, down from about 6 in 10 one month ago and 8 in 10 in April. And about 6 in 10 favor limits on how many people can gather together, down from about 7 in 10 one month ago and about 8 in 10 in April.

Troubling surges in confirmed cases have worsened this week in several states that set single-day records for new cases: Arizona, California, Mississippi, Nevada, Texas and Oklahoma. Some of those states also broke hospitalization records, as did North Carolina and South Carolina. The changes in opinion about the coronavirus are due in large part to a shift among Republicans, led by President Donald Trump, who opted to relaunch his reelection campaign last weekend with a large indoor rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, despite requests from some health officials to delay. Most of those in attendance followed the lead of the president when he is out in public and did not wear a mask.

From the Director of the CDC. “110-120 counties in country have significant transmission. More than 3,100 counties in the US. Kind of puts it in perspective.”

Declining support = depopulation. That's all there is to it.

Staying home was cute for a while, but now it just feels like work.

TrumpVirus

Smdh.

Geez I'm in Florida. Ya think?

This is why rules and regulations exist, because a sizable percentage of the population isn’t bright enough to look out for their own safety.

Fake news! AP your check is in the mail from China

Phrases for $600 Alex:

It doesn’t help when Trump and the so-called leader of the failed pandemic team refuse to wear masks and choose reopening over American lives. People are still dying, but Trump does not care.🙏🏽

I think Americans should just throw all elderly people into a Hunger Games style battle to the death. And the proceeds from the TV rights can go to billionaires. The outcome would be the same as the current approach, but its would be miles more entertaining.

Could be the infection rate of 0.00000000000000000000000000002%?

you can't fix stupid

Deaths are flat/dropping, which is all that matters. More people sick with deaths staying flat is actually great news.

Trump should declare martial law and enforce a nation-wide medical quarentine. It's the only way to save lives.

The AP-NORC poll of 1,301 adults was conducted June 11-15 using a sample drawn from NORC’s probability-based AmeriSpeak Panel, which is designed to be representative of the U.S. population. The margin of sampling error for all respondents is plus or minus 3.7 percentage points.

Poll reflects the I want what I want and I want it now, impatience of American culture.

Covid is real but so it could be used as a tool to take freedoms of choice and religion (not able to practice) away from people.

This is the 1% caring more about the stock market (AKA the rich people feeling index) than human life. Fuck these people wanting to force people back to work, who are getting 10-12 hours. It's not worth it to lose your family. Capitalism sucks. Covid-19

it's not that people are against it. it's that they can't AFFORD IT.

The Virus Will Disappear..Do Not listen to Fake News!

😡😡😡😡

Because Americans are the stupidest people on earth. ... For Fuck's Sake just wear a mask and stay at home as much as possible. We could've beaten this MONTHS ago if it weren't for all the assholes in this country.

That's why the best approach is to shutdown everything for a month or two. Place every suspect in a quarantine, enforce curfews, use guards to make sure everything is followed, conduct mass testing, and track the disease. We could've opened up rapidly afterwards with no issue.

so people want to hasten the spread overwhelm med more ppl die over faster..?

But the poll also shows many Americans haven't fully embraced the reopening effort now underway in many states.
