FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A majority of Americans continue to support a mask requirement for people traveling on airplanes and other shared transportation, a new poll finds. A ruling by a federal judge has put the government’s transportation mask mandate on hold.
The poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds that despite opposition to that requirement that included verbal abuse and physical violence against flight attendants, 56% of Americans favor requiring people on planes, trains and public transportation to wear masks, compared with 24% opposed and 20% who say they’re neither in favor nor opposed.
Interviews for the poll were conducted Thursday to Monday, shortly before a federal judge in Florida struck down the national mask mandate on airplanes and mass transit.
The poll shows a wide partisan divide on the issue. Among Democrats, 80% favor and just 5% oppose the requirement. Among Republicans, 45% are opposed compared with 33% in favor, with 22% saying neither.
Seventy-two percent of Democrats favor requiring people attending crowded public events to wear masks, while among Republicans, 25% are in favor and 49% are opposed. The numbers are similar for requiring masks for public-facing workers.

Too bad. Majority of Americans didn’t want “gay”-marriage.
Science is now polling? I’d prefer some efficacy tests proving masks work, even cloth masks pulled down when eating.
AP is propaganda at the best of times, more naked lies in this case.
Bull shiite! GO AWAY!
Well...as there’s nothing stopping somebody from continuing to wear a mask, I’ll see the “proof in the pudding” on Monday when I fly.
Respondents were paid some amount of money. The breakdown:
Democrat: 44 percent
Republican: 36 percent
Independent: 20 percent
The only poll that matters occurred after the ruling… masks were ditched by a vast majority of travelers.
So silly at this point. If the Biden administration proposed throwing kittens into fire pits, the AP and the rest of the clowns would produce a poll tomorrow showing that the majority supports it.
Just predictable and part of the ongoing effort to preserve “their democracy.”
Their democracy = they are in charge and you aren’t, ever. And if you think you are or do anything to try to be, you are a threat to “their democracy” said as “our democracy” of course.
You can put as much credence in AP as you can in Biden.

Which America is this?
We are at war.
Fight.
The poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research is FAKE NEWS. THey’ve grown soft, lying about everything with no repercussions. Now fabricating poll numbers is actually an enjoyable indulgence for them.
I stopped reading at, “poll by AP”.
These lunatics on the left won’t stop in their lust for control - they won’t ever stop, until they draw their last breath.
Right, and 91 million Americans voted for Joe Biden... Sure.
I doubt they’re really polling people at all, seeing how they always get the results they want.
Utter lies.
