Scott Rasmussen's Number of the Day for April 14, 2021
The Number of the Day columns published on Ballotpedia reflect the views of the author.
April 14, 2021: Sixty-two percent (62%) of voters believe restaurant owners should decide whether vaccine passports are required to visit their business. A Ballotpedia national survey found that 26% think that decision should be made by government officials. Twelve percent (12%) are not sure.[1]
The results are similar when asked who should make such decisions about a wedding reception. Sixty-three percent (63%) believe the decision about vaccine passports should be made by the people getting married and the reception hall. Just 21% believe government officials should make that decision.[1]
In both cases, a majority or plurality of every measured demographic group believes the choice should be made by the individuals involved rather than government officials. More than 3-out-of-4 Republican respondents hold such views. So do a solid majority of Democratic and independent respondents.[1]
The survey also found modest support for the idea of vaccine passports. Fifty-four percent (54%) favor the idea, but 41% do not. Support for the concept comes from 73% of Democratic, 45% of independent, and 39% of Republican respondents.[1]
