Survey Results Fielded From Dec. 16 to Mar.
We collected the latest data for the week ending on March 26.
In that time, weve seen confidence in vaccine safety and efficacy grow in fits and starts.

This is up from 34% in our first survey in December.
People are also feeling more positive about how the vaccine rollout is going.
In the latest survey, about half of our respondents said the rollout is going well or better.
Its objectively true, now, too.
Alongside these increasingly positive sentiments come tempered expectations for life after vaccination.
People have faith in the vaccines, but theyre coming to understand they won’t magically stop the pandemic.
People are increasingly skeptical about how long it will take to return to the before times.
Only 15% hold out hope that well return to normal before the summer is over.
Based on our data, there are two primary reasons this might be.
First, as vaccine eligibility opens up, people are much more likely to know a vaccine rejector.
But they know vaccines are a major part of the solution.
The survey is fielded online, every other week.
