The twenty-fourth report was fielded Thursday, March 4 – Friday, March 5, 2021. 

Key findings:

• Impacts on daily life remain consistent and prevalent. One in ten Americans continues to face job loss due to Covid-19 and many more are still coping with reduced wages or earnings. Around three-quarters of Americans report a severe or moderate impact to their daily loves, although the number expecting these impacts to continue through the next 30 days falls to 60 percent.

• From a 30-day outlook perspective, Americans grow sharply more optimistic. Many more Americans are expecting improvements in their local communities, across the country, and globally throughout the next few weeks.

• Intent to get a vaccine is high among 60 percent of those not currently vaccinated, and, similarly, six in 10 Americans are likely to encourage others to get vaccinated as well.

The twenty-second and twenty-third combined waves were fielded Thursday, January 28 – Saturday, January 30, 2021. 

Key findings:

• Americans’ anxiety related to Covid-19 remains stable (and elevated) through the close of 2020 and into the start of the new year, although optimism about the months ahead grows to its highest point since early summer.

• The average expected time until Americans expect their lives to return to normal continues to climb and reaches its highest point yet – nearly 14 months. Yet, a hope for better financial times in the long-run remains. And more Americans - 60% - intend to get a vaccine when possible (among those who haven’t done so already).

• Newly added to the tracker in recent waves, participants are now asked about their own personal experience with the disease. Nearly one in ten have had the disease themselves, and 15 percent live with someone who has contracted it.

The twenty-first wave was fielded Thursday, December 3 – Saturday, December 5. 

Key findings:

• As the holidays approach, over seventy percent of Americans anticipate a severe or moderate impact to their lives in the coming 30 days, (the highest percentage since the end of April).

• Reliance on news media remains steady. Sixty percent of Americans are constantly or regularly consuming news on Covid-19 developments.

• Financial and professional struggle remains common as one in 10 Americans continue to report job loss, while an additional 18 percent report wage or hourly reductions.
