West Long Branch, NJ<\/em> \u2013 Despite intense protests at board of education meetings, Covid vaccine and mask mandates in the nation\u2019s schools remain popular with a majority of Americans. The Monmouth (\u201c<\/em><\/strong>Mon-muth<\/em><\/strong>\u201d) <\/em><\/strong>University Poll<\/em><\/strong> also finds stable support for vaccine requirements for health care workers and air travel but declining support for requiring proof of vaccination to eat in a restaurant. President Joe Biden continues to get a thumbs-up from most Americans for his handling the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The poll finds 61% of the public supports requiring face masks to be worn in schools by students, teachers, and staff. This is down slightly from September (66%). Support levels for school-based vaccine mandates remain stable for both teachers and staff (59%, compared to 60% in September) and students age 12 and older (53%, compared to 51% in September). Among parents, 60% support school mask mandates and 52% support teacher vaccine mandates, but just 40% support vaccine mandates for older students. These numbers have not changed by more than two percentage points since Monmouth\u2019s September poll. The current poll also finds less than half (44%) of the public \u2013 and just 34% of parents \u2013 supports requiring vaccines for students in the newly eligible 5 to 11 age group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe dramatic images of parents protesting at school board meetings has not shifted overall public opinion on mandates one way or the other since the beginning of the school year,\u201d said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opinion on vaccine mandates in other settings has not shifted much in the past two months, including requiring the Covid shot for health care workers (61%), requiring proof of vaccination to fly on an airplane (57%), and requiring vaccination in order to go to work in an office setting (51%).  Each of these results is down just two percentage points from Monmouth\u2019s September poll. The one exception is support for requiring proof of vaccination to dine inside a restaurant (39%), which has dropped by 7 points since September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concerns about contracting Covid have declined slightly after swinging upward earlier in the fall as the delta variant spread. Currently, 1 in 3 (34%) American adults are very concerned about a family member becoming seriously ill from the coronavirus. This number is down from 45% in September, which was a jump from the pandemic-era low of 23% recorded in June. The high point for this metric was 60% in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Currently, 80% of adults report having received at least one dose of Covid vaccine. About half have either gotten a booster shot (10%) or are very likely to get one (41%). This combined number is practically identical to 52% in September who said they would be very likely to get a booster shot if it became available. However, 13% of the public \u2013 about 3 in 4 of whom identify with or lean toward the Republican Party \u2013 remains opposed to getting the vaccine at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other poll findings, a majority of Americans (53%) continue to say President Biden has done a good job handling the pandemic. This is similar to his 52% positive rating on Covid in September, even though his overall job approval rating slipped from 46% to 42%<\/a> during the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ratings for federal health agencies\u2019 handling of the pandemic have also been stable (53% good job, compared to 52% in September) while ratings for state governors have ticked up (60% good job, compared to 56% in September). Ratings for how the American public is dealing with the pandemic have improved, but still remain largely negative at 35% good job (23% in September) and 55% bad job (65% in September).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Monmouth University Poll<\/em> was conducted by telephone from November 4 to 8, 2021 with 811 adults in the United States.  The question results in this release have a margin of error of +\/- 3.5 percentage points. The poll was conducted by the Monmouth University Polling Institute in West Long Branch, NJ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

METHODOLOGY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Monmouth University Poll<\/em> was sponsored and conducted by the Monmouth University Polling Institute from November 4 to 8, 2021 with a national random sample of 811 adults age 18 and older. This includes 283 contacted by a live interviewer on a landline telephone and 528 contacted by a live interviewer on a cell phone, in English. Telephone numbers were selected through a mix of random digit dialing and list-based sampling. Landline respondents were selected with a modified Troldahl-Carter youngest adult household screen. Monmouth is responsible for all aspects of the survey design, data weighting and analysis. The full sample is weighted for region, age, education, gender and race based on US Census information (ACS 2018 one-year survey). Data collection support provided by Braun Research (field), Dynata (RDD sample), and Aristotle (list sample). For results based on this sample, one can say with 95% confidence that the error attributable to sampling has a maximum margin of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points (unadjusted for sample design). Sampling error can be larger for sub-groups (see table below). In addition to sampling error, one should bear in mind that question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of opinion polls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
