May 3, 2021: Fifty percent (50%) of voters now believe that the worst of the pandemic is behind us. Thats up nine points from two weeks ago and reflects the highest level of confidence yet measured. The previous high was 42% in March.[1]

A Ballotpedia national survey found that 24% of voters currently disagree and believe the worst is yet to come. Twenty-six percent (26%) are not sure.[1]

Those figures highlight a significant improvement over the past two weeks. In mid-April, just 41% thought the worst was behind us, and 32% held the opposite view.[2]

Public confidence about the pandemic has resembled a roller-coaster ride.

Throughout the pandemic, there has been a vast partisan perception gap. That remains the case today. By a 60% to 18% margin, Republicans believe the worst is behind us. A solid plurality (46% to 24%) of independents agree. Democrats are somewhat less convinced. Forty-three percent (43%) of those in President Bidens party believe the worst is behind us, while 31% believe it is yet to come.[1]
