WASHINGTON - As cases continue to rise again across the United States, a new poll finds that one in three Americans say that COVID-19 is over.According to the poll conducted by Ipsos, 31% of Americans said the COVID-19 pandemic was over, though perceptions varied drastically across party lines and by vaccination status.The findings showed that 59% of Republicans, 27% of independents and just 10% of Democrats said the pandemic was over.

In addition, those who were unvaccinated were more likely to say the pandemic was over (55%) versus those that were vaccinated (22%).

The poll was conducted between May 13 and May 16 and was based on a nationally representative sample of 982 participants.A protective surgical face mask during COVID-19 pandemic.

Yet, this is still well below the all-time high of over 800,000 reached when the omicron variant was raging during the winter.The poll also found just over one in three (36%) believed COVID-19 cases were rising.
