Three out of four Americans, including a majority of Republicans, favor requiring people to wear face coverings while outside their homes, a new poll finds, reflecting fresh alarm over spiking coronavirus cases and a growing embrace of government advice intended to safeguard public health.
The survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research also finds that about two-thirds of Americans disapprove of how President Donald Trump is handling the outbreak, an unwelcome sign for the White House in an election year shaped by the nation’s battle with the pandemic.
More than four months after government stay-at-home orders first swept across the U.S., the poll spotlights an America increasingly on edge about the virus.
The federal government's response is seen as falling short, and most Americans favor continued restrictions to stop the virus from spreading even if they might hamstring the economy.
Support for requiring masks is overwhelming among Democrats, at 89%, but 58% of Republicans are in favor as well.

People are such sheep these days
If you want to wear the face diaper wear it
If you don’t, then don’t
CONGRATULATIONS!!
You win today’s Drama Queen for the day award in the anti-masker section.
Well done!
If so many are in favor of wearing masks, why do we need to make it a legal requirement?
Actually, I would. But I’ve never been given the chance.
I see 1/3 or more NOT wearing them.
Please respond to this survey
Do you support requiring masks in public?
Yes - I want to live
No - I care little about my safety or anyone around me
‘That happened because Pence totally lost control of the messaging coming from the task force.’
yeah, but at least he’s not out dining with other women...look at the bright side...
Prove that statement.
You can’t because it’s not true. Period.
Spoke to an E.R. Doc yesterday........no additional or new respiratory infections are being seen.
You are the Drama Queen runner up for today.
Congratulations.
BULLFEATHERS
Baloney!
Struck a nerve, did I?
True statement
100% agree. Masks kill the shopping fun, prevents chit-chat with the clerks and generally make shopping something to avoid if possible. It’s obvious.
I make a point to at least say hello to any other bare face I see. Wearing a mask makes you annoyed and fearful of others, and you can see how people scurry like mice in the grocery store.
I’m convinced many of these same people turn their flashers on in a rainstorm, just to ‘help’ me.
Not at all.....you sound foolish.
Honestly......the Mask post here have become enjoyable and predictable.
All someone has to do is whisper “Mask” and the same bunch lose their minds with the same lame tired old fake arguments.
Great entertainment.
‘why do we need to make it a legal requirement?’
the point of the article is that they’re in favor of mask mandating, not just wearing them...
‘All someone has to do is whisper “Mask” and the same bunch lose their minds with the same lame tired old fake arguments.’
don’t like differences of opinion...? sure glad to hear your nerves are ok...
