In a new Monmouth University poll, 52% of Americans say they've contracted the virus. That's up from 40% in late January, in the weeks following FDA acting commissioner Janet Woodcock's testimony.
A person holds a sign that reads “No Mask No Way Freedom!” during a protest against coronavirus vaccine mandates and other issues on March 5 at the state Capitol in Olympia, Wash. Early this year, the acting head of the Food and Drug Administration offered a stern and ominous warning: Most Americans were going to contract the coronavirus.
In a new Monmouth University poll, 52% of Americans say they've contracted the virus. That's up from 40% in late January, in the weeks following FDA acting commissioner Janet Woodcock's testimony. Today, a little more than 4 in 10 say they've tested positive for or been diagnosed with covid, while 10% say they haven't been diagnosed but know they've had the virus.
The latest Monmouth poll also reinforces something previous surveys have also surfaced: Those who say they've contracted the virus are significantly more likely to be Republicans. That gap appears to have grown in the earliest weeks of 2022. At the time of Bump's piece, the latest Economist/YouGov poll showed a 10-point partisan gap. By Feb. 1, it was a 12-point gap - 28% of Republicans testing positive to 16% of Democrats. The most recent Economist/YouGov poll, last week, showed a 15-point gap: 30-15.
Then there's another question: Is the gap really this big? Polls asking people to self-report things like an infection are prone to response bias. Democrats might be less willing to acknowledge falling ill: Given the emphasis on mitigation on their side of the political aisle, they might view infection as some kind of moral failing. Republicans, by contrast, have long been more likely to argue that mitigation efforts have gone overboard and the virus is overblown.
