Scott Rasmussen's Number of the Day for November 30, 2021
The Number of the Day columns published on Ballotpedia reflect the views of the author.
November 30, 2021: Forty-nine percent (49%) of voters believe relaxing vaccine mandates, mask requirements, and social distancing guidelines would be good for the economy. A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that 30% disagree. Ten percent (10%) don’t believe it would have any impact, while 11% are not sure.[1]
By a 3-to-1 margin, voters who believe the worst of the pandemic is behind us believe easing restrictions would be good for the economy. Voters who believe the worst is still to come are evenly divided.[1]
Voters who don’t believe the worst is behind us have differing concerns. Half (51%) are worried about ongoing health issues. Thirty-six percent (36%) are worried about more government restrictions and mandates. This suggests that government efforts to combat the virus through further restrictions are likely to antagonize many voters.[2]
Other data show that 59% of voters favor relaxing vaccine mandates to ease supply chain issues.[3] Additionally, 61% favor relaxing vaccine mandates for police officers, fire fighters, and healthcare workers.[4]
Forty-eight percent (48%) of voters now say they favor the mandates. That’s down six points over the past two months.[5]
