A majority of Democrats say they would get a government-approved vaccine, compared to just 36% of Republicans, NBC News/SurveyMonkey Weekly Tracking Poll says.
There's also a significant partisan divide among Democrats, Republicans and independents.
Independents align more closely with the Republican groups. Thirty-seven percent say they and their families would get vaccinated, 25 percent say they wouldn't and 38 percent say they aren't sure.Another key indicator is race. Asian Americans are the only racial group in which a majority of adults express comfort with getting vaccinated. Fifty-nine percent of Asian American adults say they would get a government-approved vaccine, while only 8 percent say they wouldn't.
But just 24 percent of Black adults say they would get a government-approved vaccine for themselves and their families, while 31 percent say they wouldn't and 42 percent say they're unsure. Among adults who have at least graduated from college or have graduated from college with further education, 56 percent say they would get a vaccine, while just 16 percent say they wouldn't. When those who have completed postgraduate degrees were asked, 68 percent say they would get vaccinated and just 9 percent say they and their families wouldn't.
