Earlier this month, the Harris Poll Covid-19 tracking survey found that nearly two-thirds of Americans (64%) support introducing a vaccine passport for flying on an airplane, with those who “strongly support” such an initiative outnumbering those who “somewhat support” it by more than two to one.
As the delta variant of the coronavirus rips through much of the United States, concerns about contracting Covid-19 are at their highest level since January, with 41% of Americans saying they are extremely or very worried that they or a family member would become infected, according to the AP-NORC survey. This is nearly double the 21% of Americans who said they were worried in June, which the lowest level of concern since the beginning of the pandemic.
