NYCU: Americans' Hopes Rise

During the last year, Americans have felt stressed out and worried about the coronavirus — but now more say they're hopeful as the vaccines become available, according to the latest installment of the Axios/Ipsos Coronavirus Index. Here are key findings from the survey conducted the end of February:

  • 48% said they are "Hopeful" — up from 20% who said they felt that way during the past year. The most hopeful are those age 65 and older (64%), Democrats (59%), and people who have gotten the vaccine (61%).
  • In contrast, half as many Americans feel “Frustrated” and “Stressed/Worried” than felt that way last year (both down to 20%, from 41% a year ago).
The big picture: Americans finally see some light at the end of the tunnel. As we approach the one-year anniversary of the pandemic, "People are starting to see that maybe there's an end in sight, that there's something to look forward to finally," said Chris Jackson, SVP for Ipsos Public Affairs. Data: Axios/Ipsos Poll; Note: Margin of error for the entire sample is ±3.1%; Chart: Andrew Witherspoon/Axios. People were able to choose up to three answers. Source: Nather, D. (2021, March 2).
