Polling shows vaccine hesitancy declining, but still partisan issue
Polling shows that while COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy is declining, it remains a partisan issue, FiveThirtyEight's Nate Silver said on ABC's "This Week."
A Kaiser health tracking poll released late last month showed that 47% of Americans have either already gotten the vaccine or will get it as soon as they can -- up from 34% in December. Still, 13% said they definitely won't get the vaccine and 7% said they'll get it only if required to for work, school or other activities. And 31% said they want to wait and see how it's working.
"It's also a highly partisan issue," Silver said. "While enthusiasm has increased among Democrats and independents, Republicans remain resistant. Thirty-three percent of GOP voters say they won't get the vaccine and will only get it if it's required."
