Most Americans Say COVID-19 Restrictions Effectively Slow the Virus

An overwhelming majority of voters say that they think restrictions related to COVID-19 are effective in slowing the spread of the virus, a new Hill-HarrisX poll finds.
Seventy-four percent of registered voters in the Sept. 30-Oct. 1 survey said they think that restrictions related to COVID-19 such as mandatory masks, keeping 6 feet of distance and, in some places, having to show proof of vaccination to enter a venue have been effective in slowing the spread of the virus.
By contrast, 26 percent said they did not think that the restrictions are effective.
