Since November 2020, we have continuously asked respondents how often they wear a face mask or covering while in public. From November 2020 to May 2021, on average, 89% of respondents wore a face mask in public “all the time” to “most of the time.” Our latest results reveal that 58% of respondents are consistently wearing a mask -- this marks a decrease of 30% since May.
While these findings are consistent with the recent announcement from the CDC that fully vaccinated people can resume activities without wearing a mask, our results reveal that unvaccinated respondents wear a face mask less frequently than respondents who are fully or partially vaccinated while in public. Specifically, we observe that 77% of vaccinated respondents wear a face mask in public “all the time,” while only 16% of unvaccinated respondents (vaccine-hesitant or refuse vaccine) say the same.
