The percentage of Americans who think the coronavirus situation is getting better plummeted between June and July, according to a Gallup survey. In June, fully 89 percent of the public thought the Covid situation was improving. In July, just 40 percent felt that way. The optimists are now outnumbered by the 45 percent who say the situation is getting worse—the first time since January 2021 that the pessimists have outnumbered the optimists, Gallup reports.
Attitude toward Coronavirus Situation, July 2021 (and June 2021)
Getting better: 40% (89%)
Getting worse: 45% (3%)
Staying the same: 14% (8%)
A growing number of Americans are somewhat/very worried about catching Covid, with the vaccinated more likely to be worried (33 percent) than the unvaccinated (20 percent).
