April 23, 2021: A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that 13% of voters nationwide say they will never get the COVID-19 vaccine. Despite recent news about the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, that number is essentially unchanged from earlier surveys.[1]
At this point, 46% have now been vaccinated, and 14% want to receive the vaccine as soon as possible. That totals 60%, up 10 points since February. Those figures suggest a modest increase in public comfort with the vaccines.[1]
In between are 15% who say they want to wait and see before getting vaccinated and another 10% who are in no particular rush.[1]
Eighteen percent (18%) of Republicans say they will never get vaccinated. So do 16% of independent voters. Just 5% of Democrats share that view.[1]
At the other extreme, 74% of Democrats say they have either been vaccinated already or want to be as soon as possible. Just 54% of Republicans hold that view, along with 51% of independents.[1]
There is also a significant difference in attitudes by age. Eighty percent (80%) of senior citizens have either been vaccinated or want to be as soon as possible. However, that applies to only 48% of voters 18-24.[1]
Currently, 41% believe the worst of the pandemic is behind us, while 32% disagree.
