📊Worrisome—3 in 10 (29%) Americans say they are not likely to get vaccinated, including 20% saying they will definitely not do so. 86% of Democrats got at least one shot of a vaccine, versus 45% of Republicans. ➡️But #DeltaVariant does not care. #COVID19 washingtonpost.com/politics/post-…
2) But while 6 percent of Democrats say they aren’t likely to get vaccinated, 47 percent of Republicans fall into that camp, with 38 percent of Republicans overall saying they will definitely not get shots against the virus.
3) Most independents (54 percent) say they have received at least one shot and another 11 percent say they are likely to do so. Among independents, 22 percent say they will definitely not get vaccinated.
4) Regionally, there are significant variations in the rate of vaccinations, with lower rates in states dominated by Republicans. Seventy-five percent of adults in the mostly Democratic Northeast say they have received at least one shot.
5) That compares with 62 percent in the West, 56 percent in the South and 53 percent in the Midwest. The Midwest shows the highest level of regional resistance to vaccination, with 27 percent saying they will definitely not get a vaccine.

6) Biden’s job performance is viewed in starkly different terms among those who have been vaccinated and those who have not. About 2 in 3 of adults who have gotten at least one shot approve of how he is doing his job, compared with fewer than 1 in 3 of the unvaccinated.
7) Eight in 10 vaccinated Americans rate him positively for his handling of the pandemic, compared with fewer than 4 in 10 of those not vaccinated.
8) More than 600,000 people have died in the United States from covid-19. In the Post-ABC poll, 3 in 4 Americans say they have not contracted covid-19. Another 11% report that they have tested positive, while 12% say they think they had covid-19 but never tested positive.
9) A majority of Americans (69 percent) say they are at either low or no risk of contracting the disease. Notably, unvaccinated people are less likely to say they are at risk of getting sick from the coronavirus than those who have received a vaccine, 22% vs. 32%. 🤦🏻♂️
10) a lot of people are ill-informed about the #DeltaVariant
