April 29, 2021: Thirty-eight percent (38%) of voters nationwide worry that the Biden administration will re-open society too quickly. A Scott Rasmussen survey found that 40% hold the opposite view and worry the administration will wait too long. Twenty-two percent (22%) are not sure.[1]

Sixty-one percent (61%) of Republicans worry the administration will wait too long. A majority of Democrats (54%) have the opposite worry. Among independent voters, 41% worry the administration will wait too long, and 33% are afraid it will move too quickly.[1]

A plurality of white voters worry the Biden team will wait too long. So do voters over the age of 45. A plurality of Black and Hispanic voters lean in the opposite direction, as do younger voters.[1]

Urban voters tend to be more afraid things will re-open too quickly. Suburban and rural voters are more likely to have the opposite concern.[1]
