The Trump normalization of death is working?
Fewer Americans are concerned than a month ago about someone in their family becoming seriously ill from the coronavirus, according to a Monmouth University Poll released Monday.
The poll finds that 42 percent of Americans are very concerned about someone in their family becoming seriously ill, down from 50 percent last month. Another 28 percent are somewhat concerned, which is down from 33 percent last month.
In the latest polling, 30 percent are not too concerned or not at all concerned, up from 16 percent a month ago.
“Concern about covid seems to have returned to where it was in the early days of the public response to the pandemic in this country,” said Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute.
An ABC News-Ipsos poll released Friday showed similar declines.
In that poll, 77 percent said that they were very or somewhat concerned that they or someone they know will become infected with the coronavirus, down from 86 percent a month earlier. Meanwhile, 23 percent said they were not so concerned or not concerned at all, up from 14 percent a month earlier.
A Washington Post-University of Maryland poll released last week showed a more steady rate of concern. In that poll, 63 percent of Americans said that they are very or somewhat worried that they would get seriously ill, while 36 percent said they are not too worried or not at all worried.
