VACCINATION INCREASE INCLUDES LARGEST REPUBLICAN GAIN SINCE APRIL: GALLUP

An increase in Americans who say they are vaccinated against COVID-19 includes the largest Republican gain since April, according to a Gallup poll released Wednesday.

Seventy-five percent of respondents said they were vaccinated against COVID-19, up 6 points from August.

Overall, 80 percent said they either are vaccinated or plan to be vaccinated, the highest tally this year.

For the first time, a majority of Republicans responded that they had received at least one dose of a coronavirus vaccine, the largest monthly uptick from April, when 39 percent said they had been at least partially vaccinated.

By comparison, 68 percent of independents and 92 percent of Democrats said they are at least partially vaccinated against COVID-19.
