Key findings:

• Even with the US presidential election in the midst, Covid-19 remains as a top stressor from among a list of several current focal issues. 

• At the end of October, there is little change to Americans’ intentions regarding a possible Covid-19 vaccine – only about half of the population is likely to get the vaccine themselves.

• The majority of those who have suffered reduced earnings in some form or another since the start of the outbreak have yet to recuperate.
