SEPTEMBER 3, 2020: Americans are growing a bit less pessimistic about the pandemic.

Twenty-seven percent (27%) of voters nationwide believe the worst of the pandemic ([link removed]) is behind us. A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that 48% disagree and believe the worst is still to come.[1] ([link removed])

The number who believe the worst is still to come is down seven points from a week ago and down 11 points from two weeks ago.[2] ([link removed]) [3] ([link removed]) This marks only the second time—and the first since June—that fewer than half ([link removed]) the nation's voters believed the worst was still to come.

The 27% who believe that the worst is behind us is up a point from last week, up seven points from two weeks ago, and up 12 points since July.[3] ([link removed]) [4] ([link removed])

Earlier this year, from April through June, confidence about getting the pandemic behind us grew steadily. But, in July that confidence collapsed before starting to grow again in August.[2] ([link removed]) [4] ([link removed])

Republicans, by a 50% to 26% margin, believe the worst is behind us. Democrats reject that notion by a 67% to 10% margin. Among independent voters, 24% believe the worst has come and gone while 48% take the opposite view.[1] ([link removed])

Scott Rasmussen has been tracking this question on a weekly basis and will continue to do so. Results in this feature are based upon a survey of 1,200 registered voters conducted August 27-29, 2020.
