TOPIC OF THE WEEK: 69% Americans Are Most Likely To Indicate They Will Currently Still Wear A Mask On Airplanes Or Trains uThis page is devoted to opinions of countries whose polling activity is generally not known very widely or where a recent topical issue requires special attention.
69% Americans Are Most Likely To Indicate They Will Currently Still Wear A Mask On Airplanes Or Trains We explored where Americans will continue to wear masks, and whether they assume that people wearing a mask have not been vaccinated. The questions about mask-wearing were only asked to Americans because a greater proportion of the American population is currently fully vaccinated. With second doses of COVID-19 vaccines being available earlier in certain provinces, we also explored Canadians’ perspectives on receiving a second dose. This survey is conducted in collaboration with the Association for Canadian Studies (ACS) and published in the Canadian Press. This series of surveys is available on Leger’s website THE FUTURE OF WEARING A MASK IN THE UNITED STATES Americans are most likely to indicate they will currently still wear a mask on airplanes or trains (69%), at large stores (grocery, general goods, etc.) (65%) and/or in small stores (convenience stores, etc.) (62%). More than three-in-ten Americans who still wear a mask on airplanes/trains, at large stores, at small stores, at sporting events or concerts, and/or at bars/restaurants think they will not stop wearing a mask at/in each of these until 2022. 19% of Americans assume that if they see someone wearing a mask, that person has not been vaccinated. RECEIVING A SECOND DOSE OF ASTRAZENECA 50% of Canadians who received a first dose of AstraZeneca would prefer to get a second dose of AstraZeneca, 32% would prefer getting a second dose of another brand of vaccine, and 18% don’t know what they would prefer.
