Despite the much-covered issue of Black Americans questioning the coronavirus vaccine, a recent poll by Civiqs found that white Americans--and white Republicans especially--are now far more likely to say they will not take a vaccine.
Two-thirds of Republicans under 30 without a college degree say they are “not concerned at all” about COVID-19, according to polling from Civiqs. The same percentage of this group says they won’t take the vaccine, making them the most vaccine-resistant cohort.
Vaccine hesitancy is higher among white Republicans than any other demographic group, and it hasn't been improving much as the vaccination effort continues, according to Civiqs polling.
Since December, surveys by Civiqs have found that much skepticism of the coronavirus vaccine remains, with about 40 percent of Republicans saying they did not plan to get vaccine shots.
The February 2021 Daily Kos/Civiqs Poll asked 1,513 registered voters in the United States about President Trump’s second impeachment trial, the coronavirus stimulus proposal, college debt, and the United States Postal Service.
QAnon is no longer relegated to the fringe: A Civiqs tracking poll finds that even after the attack on the Capitol, 10 percent of Republicans describe themselves as “supporters” of QAnon.
Polls have shown few differences on support for QAnon between voters with and without college degrees. Civiqs’s latest survey registers 72 percent opposition and 5 percent support for the theory among graduates. The split is 71 to 5 among nongraduates and 78 to 3 among postgraduates.
