NEW: Just a third of Americans see COVID as mainly controlled – and six in 10 say it's more important to try to contain the virus than to lift restrictions on normal activities, new ABC News/WaPo poll finds.
A sign requiring masks as a precaution against the spread of the coronavirus is posted on a store front in Philadelphia, Feb. 16, 2022.
Fifty-eight percent in this ABC News/Washington Post poll continue to prioritize controlling the spread of the virus, 20 percentage points more than the share who say it's more important to discontinue restrictions.That's informed by continued concern about an unpredictable virus that has taken nearly 950,000 American lives and continues to infect nearly 70,000 and kill 1,700 daily.
Returning to normality is associated strongly with views of the pandemic. Among people who see the outbreak as completely or mostly controlled, seven in 10 report having largely resumed their pre-coronavirus life. That falls to 29% who say it's not at all controlled. Indeed, 48% in this group barely have returned to normal life, if at all.Partisanship and ideology continue to be the main dividing lines.
