Latest Pew Poll.

Or an exercise on "How well did Biden disappear C0V1D?"

On one hand, 21% of Americans still view C0V1D as a major public threat

On the other hand, still masking?

6% of Democrats
4% Americans
2% Republicans

Guess when Biden took over on the graph?

Yes - pretty much as soon as Biden took over, he began disappearing C0V1D.

BTW, the last poll was by yougov - masking was at 12% last year.

But....maybe it's not all bad news.

Because that 4% becomes 18% when you include those who mask some of the time.

And....

Look at this - some of the time....

Black: 39% mask
Hispanic: 27% mask
Asian: 32% mask

60% of Democrats worry we’re not taking COVID-19 seriously enough, 76% of Republicans disagree

Six-in-ten Democrats say it’s extremely or very important to wear a mask in crowded settings when people have cold-like symptoms, compared with 26% of Republicans who say this.

Lol. Only 63% have had C0V1D.

17% feel COVID presents a risk to their personal lives.

@CDCgov 👀.

17% of Americans say that C0V1D is a major threat to their finances.

There is more, but those are the highlights.

Or lowlights.

Lots of framing in the poll itself that was ...leading.
