(GALLUP) 47% say life will never go back to pre-pandemic normal


The following is an excerpt from Gallup News.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

  • 33% say their lives are completely back to normal
  • 47% say own lives will never return to pre-pandemic normalcy
  • 20% say lives not yet back to normal but will eventually be

Three years into the Covid-19 pandemic in the U.S., relatively few Americans, 33%, say their lives are completely back to normal, and those who say their lives have not yet completely returned to normal are largely pessimistic about it ever happening.

Nearly half of U.S. adults, 47%, think pre-pandemic normalcy is not attainable for them, but 20% think their lives will eventually get back to normal.

These expectations have improved slightly since last summer, but they are essentially unchanged from Gallup’s previous reading in October.

The findings are from a Feb. 21-28 update to Gallup’s probability-based Covid-19 web panel poll.

As with many attitudes related to the pandemic, Americans’ views diverge sharply and most significantly by partisanship.

Half of Republicans say their lives are back to normal, and 18% say that their lives are not yet normal but will be eventually.

That leaves 33% of Republicans who say their lives never will be back to normal. In contrast, 53% of Democrats believe their lives will never return to normal. Independents’ expectations are closer to Democrats’.

Perceptions of a return to normalcy in their own lives also differ significantly by gender and annual household income.

Majorities of two typically Democratic-leaning groups — women and lower-income adults — say their lives will never be back to normal, while their counterparts are less likely to say as much.
