February 15, 2021: Fourteen percent (14%) of voters nationwide say they will never get the COVID-19 vaccine. A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that 15% have already been vaccinated, and 35% want to receive the vaccine as soon as possible.[1]
In between are 19% who say they want to wait and see before getting vaccinated and another 16% who are in no particular rush.[1]
Twenty percent (20%) of Republicans say they will never get vaccinated. So do 19% of independent voters. Just 4% of Democrats share that view.[1]
At the other extreme, 62% of Democrats say they have either been vaccinated already or want to be as soon as possible. Just 47% of Republicans hold that view, along with 37% of independents.[1]
There is also a significant difference in attitudes by age. Two-thirds of senior citizens (69%) have either been vaccinated or want to be as soon as possible. However, the number of younger voters holding that view is below 50% for every age breakdown.[1]
