NEW: Americans expressed broad support for mask mandates, with 67% supporting school districts requiring students, faculty and staff to wear masks. As many support state or local orders requiring masks in public places, per a new ABC News/WaPo poll.'

On the policy front, the survey finds broad support for mask mandates, with smaller majorities lining up behind vaccine requirements:

Close to half of all adults, 52%, support businesses requiring vaccination for employees who come into work – but that ranges from 45% among people who work for pay to 66% of all others. Many fewer people who work for an employer, 18%, say their employer currently has a vaccine mandate in place. The survey touches on a few items unrelated to the pandemic. In one result, Biden has a 45-49% approval rating for handling the economy, with approval down 7 percentage points since it last was measured in April. Also 53% support $3.5 trillion in federal spending on new or expanded social programs, educational assistance and efforts to address climate change. Forty-one percent are opposed.

Another key predictor of vaccine uptake is the sense that it's a responsibility to protect others, not just a personal choice. Yet the public only divides on this: 50% call it a personal choice; 48%, a broader responsibility. Among unvaccinated people, the share calling it a personal choice soars to 91%, and 8 in 10 of them feel strongly about this. Among the vaccinated, by contrast, 62% say it's a responsibility to others.

Notably, among unvaccinated adults, only 16% say people who care about them have encouraged them to get a shot, versus 58% among vaccinated adults -- evidence of how establishing a social norm of vaccination is another way to encourage uptake.

Do they have a right medical reason to reject ?

VACCINATE;!!

No vaccine no work and no unemployment compensation. What’s funny is every republican complaining about this are all vaccinated. It’s good for them but not for the citizens who voted for them. New kind of cleansing! God Save us from this madness.

No unvaccinated caretakers around patients. Period!

Follow actual science, not political science.

In other words ALL reasonable adults. The koolaid gang opted out of our democracy awhile ago.

Unvaccinated people, we are done playing games with you. If you are unvaccinated by choice, and not because you are under 12 or medically exempt, and you need medical help, go find that Fox News doctor with the deworming horse antiperasitic.

News about the Delta Coronavirus strain. The Delta Coronavirus strain has claimed the lives of millions of Russian occupants in the Kherson region alone !!!

This is called manufacturing consent.... and its a feeble attempt at that.

Or simply say,let’s all die in the name of the Trump Republican Party!It’s more direct and honest for your goals.And,make no mistake and have no misguided illusions,you will die if you don’t take the CDC precautions and government mandate.The proof will be in your graves!

Open carry just fill your hand you stupid sum bitches.. Fixed.🐓🦌

I support it

It’s just 2 freaking needle get vaccinated so life can become better

We have a continuing pandemic because not enough citizens are vaccinated. It is that simple.

Death certainly helps put ones 'freedoms' aside .... especially when those 'freedoms' are just plain idiotic and stupid

I Found A Cure For COVID19! I Need Experiment Subjects! Is Anyone Willing To Take The Journey?🙄😷 I'm Not A Scientist Etc. But Trust Me! Who Do I Sound Like! Lol!!!🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️😷 GLOBAL Governments, Not Just 1 Or 2. This Global Gov. Cooperation Started With CHEMTRAILS! Now COVID.

Wrong question Right question: what do business owners & CEO’s think My guess they want mandates, why? Because unnecessary hospitalizations cost money, a lot of money.

You can’t force a private company to require this.

Almost half don't

Screw polls.

very important

Let them die

What hesitancy now. The vaccines are cancelled by Delta. Vaccines cannot fight the coronavirus, only treatment with medicines.

Go get Vaccinated and wear Masks America. This is the Real World Leader. I'm telling you what to do. It makes Absolutely no Sense not to get Vaccinated and wear Masks. 600,000 US Citizens have Died from Coronavirus. What do you have to Lose by getting Vaccinated? Nothing

He is doing what he can with the media hysterics and all the social media lies.

BREAKING: Mainstream news is shocked that the public perception of the president is going down as mainstream news continually 'both sides' the situation between a president doing a good job and a radically extreme, right-wing, fascist lying machine. SHOCKED!

I think we should stop all the progress we're making and have another impeachment. If we don't do this, we might be in serious danger of world opinion improving about us.

“.. poll conducted by landline and cellular telephone Aug. 29-Sept. 1, 2021, in English and Spanish, among a random national sample of 1,006 adults. Results have a margin of sampling error of 3.5 percentage points.” Just sayin’. THESE POLLS ARE BS

It’s not his fault half the country are fking idiots and won’t get vaccinated.

They are waiting for a magic wand to make Covid disappear. Look to the heavens, all it takes is a mask and a jab.

The ignorance and stupidity of too high a percentage of the American public remains intact.

myself and tens of million people wasn't counted, what is this voter suppression

Why. What changed?

President Biden has done a great job rolling out the vaccine. Our country was on a path to recovery until Republican leadership refused to follow suit. They are the ones who failed. You can’t fix stupid. They can take credit for our set back! IStandWithPresidentBiden

Biden inherited trump's legacy, unchanged from Trump's. Nor has it brought any kind of economic and employment progress to the United States. Instead, unemployment is rising and inflation is rampant. More of the middle class became homeless on the streets

41% disapprove? Hmmm just about the percentage total of republicans.

So what?

Funny, any public place I go I don’t see 67% voluntarily wearing masks. Guess they only do if big brother tells them to. And half that actually are masking have them on improperly. F’n joke. And if they worked why didn’t they stop virus with last mandates.

Coincides with the timing of full FDA... might have something to do with it

Oh, I think this shows how slow witted many Americans are today. This is the first time I feel vindicated in using my daughter’s disdainful comment “duh”!

The only time anti-vaxxers realize that they were wrong is when they are in an ICU bed and understand that they are doomed. Don’t make the same mistake. Poor decisions can have tragic consequences.

Say no to vaccine mandates. I believe it’s a personal choice and I chose to get jabbed, but didn’t need the government to force me to. If people are afraid of it, they can choose not to.

No shit

Long story short: 'It's only the REALLY dumb ppl aren't vaccinated now.'

Say yes to the vaccination mandate

Parents are everywhere having a great time on weekends and during the week without a mask and they want to enforce kids to wear a mask in class where they can’t even breath…It’s all hypocrisy.

Sooo... Article 1-- anti vax hesitancy has dropped. Article 2. Anti vax momma sells thousands of vax cards. Umm... just sayin' -- could the sudden drop be reflective of the enormous amount of anti vax cards out there Lol. Thorough, logical reporting.

Was there even a vaccine last January? That’s a rather silly comparison.

It’s funny how potential sickness and death motivate some people.

KEEP Covid Alive !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you can have all the freedom, but there you have to accept all the responsibility

JUST IN: Approval of Pres. Biden's handling of the pandemic has dropped steeply, from 62% in June to 52% now. 41% percent disapprove, with the rest undecided, per a new News/WaPo poll.

KrisKetzKMBC they don’t even help

propaganda

Well they need to disapprove of themselves for not wanting to mask-Up and get vaccinated. Biden has done everything he could to help slow/stop the spread. Can't put that on him. The saying has proven to be true, YOU CAN'T CURE STUPID.

His polls are taking a knee-jerk overreaction to the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, which was polarized into a spectacle by the media. This has nothing to do with his handling of the pandemic.

Idiocracy

The reason for the slide is Biden's penchant to appeal to reason. We've vaxxed all who would be vaxxed, now it's time for the federalizing the response. Strong, firm leadership is important. Stop pleading and cajoling.

It’s okay it will work out, he is really doing all he can, people just don’t want to comply

I approve the president facing many hard situations at the same time.

This isn’t about Biden it’s about American citizens that R showing absolute ignorance by being “vaccine hesitant”. Let’s call it what it is “fkg Stupid” get vaccinated already!!

Heartbreaking to see your highest lifetime dreams vanishing. No words could express the pain, stress and anxiety that DV2021 winners are feeling. Very painful. Dear USEmbassyCairo USAinKSA DV2021 KCC_NOT_WORKING saveDV2021

PleaseVaxUpAmerica PleaseMaskUpAmerica VaccinesArePatriotic MasksArePatriotic

you die alone due to unvaccinated? please go ahead. but please do not infect to anybody not only in America but all over the world

MayneReport Or they have died! And what’s left is people wanting and understanding they require it.

why are the JUST IN caption and the actual headline so different?

he got everyone the vaccine that actually wanted the vaccines

Biden is doing everything he can, and doing it well. It's the fault of the unvaccinated and Republican governors that's the problem.

So rwnj's who continue to convince people to not get a vaccine because 'freedumb' are not to blame. It is Biden's fault. Got it.

Brilliant. The GOP pushes anti-vax rhetoric and anti-mask mandates, but the Delta surge is Biden’s fault. Got it.

The ones who disapprove are eating horse paste and actively trying to kill their unmasked children. I’m OVER this death cult and their ‘opinions’.

We need to shed this simple-minded 25% from the gene pool. Darwin was right, survival of the fittest.

I think hes doing a great job on the pandemic and Im a doctor. I dont what else everyone is asking him for other then mandates

It’s not his fault a faction of this country is terminally stupid.

I guess the GOP’s gamble of playing footsie with & in some cases going all in on anti-vax is paying off (in the short term at least)

I approve of Biden's handling of the virus. I don't approve of some American's handling of the virus - like their refusal to get a free and safe vaccine or refusing to wear masks to protect fellow citizens.

he has handled the pandemic perfectly. its not his fault republicans wont get vaccinated and are eating horse paste.

Doesn’t that percentage get better everyday because of all the unvaccinated deaths?

Poll: Republican support for Afghan refugees wanes as Trump, Fox News promote anti-immigrant claimsThe survey of 1,605 U.S. adults, which was conducted from Aug. 30 to Sept. 1, found that overall support for resettling Afghan refugees in the United States has declined over the previous two weeks from 49 percent to 44 percent.

Vaccine mandates could save struggling movie theaters. But it wouldn't be easy.Already grappling with our love of streaming, movie theaters must convince fans to turn out despite the delta variant. Would requiring vaccines help? Makes sense to me. Mitigating risks to theater goers. I wouldn’t want to sit in a theater and breathe in some unvaccinated and/or maskless COVID idiots germs. One theater is anecdotal and not worthy of a full story.
