It'll Take 6 Months or More to Return to Normal; Most Americans Feel Normalcy Not Coming Soon

A new NPR/PBS News Hour Marist poll finds two-thirds of Americans do not expect their daily lives to return to normal for at least six months, the NPR website reports today (May 20, 2020).

"There's a great sense that normalcy is not around the corner," said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion, which conducted the poll.

Since the coronavirus pandemic hit, Americans have also grown more wary of voting in person. Half of them now say they would vote by mail if it's allowed by their state, according to the poll.

About one-quarter of Americans voted by mail in the 2016 general elections, Miringoff noted.
