Most Americans Wary of Reopening

A new AP/NORC poll finds 83% of Americans said they are very (54%) or somewhat (29%) concerned that lifting restrictions will lead to a rise in infections.

A new NPR/PBS/Marist poll finds two-thirds of Americans do not expect their daily lives to return to normal for at least six months, and as states reopen, 77% are concerned that a second wave of coronavirus cases will emerge.

Said pollster Lee Miringoff: “There’s a great sense that normalcy is not around the corner… The overwhelming majority feel we’re in no way out of the woods. The notion that there’s the potential or likelihood of a second wave is strong, and we see that clearly across party lines.”
