Few Are Ready To Stop Social-Distancing As States Reopen
The chart above is from the Morning Consult Poll -- done on April 29th and 30th of a national sample of 2,201 adults, with a 2 point margin of error.
Nearly half of the states are starting to reopen businesses and end the stay-at-home orders, and several other states are planning to do so soon. But while the governors (at Trump's urging) want to get business and society back to normal (in spite of warnings from medical professionals), it looks like the public is not ready to do that.
Less than one in five adults are ready to stop social distancing. Only 18% say they are ready to eat in a restaurant or go on vacation. About 17% say they're ready to go to a shopping mall, while only 15% say they would go to a religious gathering or museum. Other activities draw even smaller percentages.
Most Americans are not willing to put their health (and maybe even their lives) in danger just to satisfy politicians.
