Questions have been raised as some areas begin to reopen following measures imposed due to the novel coronavirus.
The poll, conducted by The Pew Research Center, surveyed 10,957 adults between April 29 and May 5. The poll also showed a growing disparity between Democrats and Republicans over the removal of measures.
Of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents, 87 percent said their greater concern was states lifting restrictions too soon. That is compared with 47 percent of their Republican counterparts. With some states beginning to reopen, fears have been raised over the prospect of a second wave of the coronavirus outbreak due to a return to normality being conducted prematurely.
