Axios-Ipsos poll: 60% of voters back Biden vaccine mandates
A majority of Americans — including suburban voters — support vaccine mandates for federal workers as well as private companies, according to the latest installment of the Axios/Ipsos Coronavirus Index.
Why it matters: The findings, on the heels of President Biden's mandates announcement last week, suggest that while his move was divisive, it may be politically safer than his opponents hope.
What they're saying: "From a political perspective, he especially reinforces himself with independents," said Cliff Young, president of Ipsos U.S. Public Affairs.
"The No. 1 issue for Biden has been COVID, and he’s been losing ground on it, especially among independents ... it should stanch the bleeding ... this is an initiative that could help bolster him there."
However, "he wins no points with Republicans. He wins a lot of points with Democrats, but they already support him."
The big picture: Respondents were asked two separate questions: Do you support the federal government requiring all federal employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19? And do you support a federal government rule that requires all business with 100 or more employees to make all staff be vaccinated or undergo regular COVID testing?
Their overall responses were virtually identical: 42% strongly supported both; 18% somewhat supported both; 13%–14% somewhat opposed both; and 25%–26% strongly opposed both.
In other words, respondents didn't draw major distinctions between mandates for public or private employees.
Between the lines: The high concentrations of strong support and strong opposition reinforce the depth of polarization.
By the numbers: About seven in 10 urban respondents supported the mandates or testing requirements, compared with nearly six in 10 suburban voters — and a little less than half of rural voters.
About two-thirds of respondents 65 and older, or under 30, support the mandates — compared with a little more than half of those in between.
Between the lines: Pollsters also asked this week's respondents which of the following options should be the federal government's current COVID vaccine policy priority.
38% said redoubling efforts to get remaining unvaccinated Americans vaccinated. (That included nearly half of vaccinated respondents, but only one in 10 unvaccinated respondents.)
28% would prioritize booster shots for every American who wants one.
19% would prioritize making shots accessible to people in developing countries.
Methodology: This Axios/Ipsos Poll was conducted Sept. 10–13 by Ipsos' KnowledgePanel®. This poll is based on a nationally representative probability sample of 1,065 general population adults age 18 or older.
The margin of sampling error is ±3.2 percentage points at the 95% confidence level, for results based on the entire sample of adults.

So the majority of Americans support the vaccine mandates. Take a wild guess who the rest are...

70% of Urban dwellers support it? That's ****ing hilarious because only ~30% of Blacks are jabbed. They must have found quite the Jerrymandered cross section of White Antifa Karens to comprise this sample.

And he also received the most "votes" in history....

If in 1858, we had a poll that showed most Americans wanted to keep slavery because it was better for America, as well as better for the slaves- should we have kept it because of alleged popular opinion? Or gotten rid of it because it was the right thing to do?

Doesnt matter how many people support vaccine mandates, because it’s unconstitutional. 1/2 the people voting to force the other half to do something they don’t want to do is exactly a dictatorship. You could have 99% support, it still makes it a dictatorship and its STILL immoral.
“Give me liberty or give me death”. What good is the world or this country if we are all oppressed into serfdom? It would be no life living at all. Life would be beyond imaginable suffering. As usual, I refer to “ it’s not the moral basis that is the concern, it is the moral results”. Who cares how many lives we save if we end up in socialism/totalitarianism and the governments just going to end up killing millions anyway?

Imagine admitting you want/need the government to have that much authority over you and then bragging about voting for it lol.
Libs are ****ing pathetic sheep unable to think for themselves, just go along with whatever daddy government says.
No wonder they hated Trump and hate conservatives so much, they all want less government.

Question for OP, and I might make a separate thread about it - everyone will get this virus and most of us from the USA all the way down to Argentina already have. Are you unaware of this?
Why are you still pretending the vaccines are going to stop the infected from infecting others, when we know that's not true anymore?

70% of Democrats are WILDLY misinformed about COVID so makes sense about 60% of the population would be in favor of the mandates.

Majority of people in this country have no idea what's going on outside their little bubble.
Patricia still believes the vaccine protects hounfrom getting the Rona. And she still believes Trump is going to prison.
What does that tell you?

Some of this sentiment may legitimately be based entirely out of a desire for retribution because of Trump. Lord knows these people are twisted enough for it.
