Growing Share of Americans Say They Plan to Get a COVID-19 Vaccine - or Already Have: 77% Think Vaccinations Will Benefit U.S. Economy
From the Document: "More than a year after the coronavirus [hyperlink] first arrived in the United States, there are signs of growing public dissatisfaction with the country's response. Performance ratings for how top health and state and local officials have responded to the outbreak continue to decline. And there's less consensus than there was at the start of the outbreak about whether certain steps, like restrictions on restaurants, are necessary. Still, at the outset of President Joe Biden's term, there's more optimism than pessimism that the policies of his administration will improve the country's response to the outbreak. There's also a shared sense that vaccination efforts will play some role in improving the economy - a top public priority. And, as COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] vaccine production and administration efforts in the U.S. continue to ramp up, a new Pew Research Center survey finds public intent to get vaccinated is on the rise."

Americans See Spread of Disease as Top International Threat, Along with Terrorism, Nuclear Weapons, Cyberattacks
From the Document: "As the coronavirus outbreak continues to unfold in the United States, Americans have grown increasingly concerned by the threat posed to the country's population, economy and personal finances. This analysis focuses on perceptions of international threats to the U.S., including views of the threat posed by the spread of infectious diseases. Many of these questions have been asked previously, including in the U.S. in 2019 and globally in 2018. The analysis also includes Americans' views of international cooperation on many of the same threats facing the global community, including the spread of infectious diseases. For this report, we used data from a survey of 1,000 U.S. adults conducted over the phone from March 3-29, 2020."

Despite Pandemic, Many Europeans Still See Climate Change as Greatest Threat to Their Countries
From the Document: "In a year when the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic has dominated news headlines around the world, it is perhaps unsurprising to discover that majorities in 14 countries surveyed this past summer see the spread of infectious disease as a major threat to their countries. But across the European countries included in the study, climate change remains the topmost perceived threat, even as people there also express grave concern about the risks posed by infectious disease."

Americans Give Higher Ratings to South Korea and Germany Than U.S. For Dealing with Coronavirus
From the Document: "With stunning speed, the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic has swept across borders, claiming victims and shutting down economies in nations across the globe. The crisis has generated a variety of policy responses from governments, with varying degrees of success. When asked how well different countries have responded to the outbreak, Americans give high marks to South Korea and Germany. In contrast, most believe China - where the pandemic is believed to have originated - has done an only fair or poor job."

COVID-19 Pandemic Pinches Finances of America's Lower- and Middle-Income Families
From the Document: "This report analyzes data from the Annual Social and Economic Supplements [hyperlink] (ASEC) of the Current Population Survey [hyperlink] (CPS) to study the effects of the coronavirus pandemic on the financial wellbeing of U.S. households in the middle class and in lower- and upper-income tiers. The latest available survey data, from March 2021, records the household income and work experience of adults in 2020, the first year of the pandemic. The CPS is the U.S. government's official source for monthly estimates of unemployment [hyperlink] and the ASEC, conducted in March each year, is the official source for its estimates of income and poverty [hyperlink]. In this report, the ASEC files were also matched from one year to the next to examine the annual movement of adults across income tiers over the period from 2000 to 2021."

Americans' Trust in Scientists, Other Groups Declines: Republicans' Confidence in Medical Scientists Down Sharply Since Early in the Coronavirus Outbreak
From the Document: "Americans' confidence in groups and institutions has turned downward compared with just a year ago. Trust in scientists and medical scientists, once seemingly buoyed by their central role in addressing the coronavirus outbreak, is now below pre-pandemic levels. [...] Overall, 29% of U.S. adults say they have a great deal of confidence in medical scientists to act in the best interests of the public, down from 40% who said this in November 2020. Similarly, the share with a great deal of confidence in scientists to act in the public's best interests is down by 10 percentage points (from 39% to 29%), according to a new Pew Research Center survey. The new findings represent a shift in the recent trajectory of attitudes toward medical scientists and scientists. Public confidence in both groups had increased shortly after the start of the coronavirus outbreak, according to an April 2020 survey [hyperlink]. Current ratings of medical scientists and scientists have now fallen below where they were in January 2019, before the emergence of the coronavirus."
