Tracking the Return to Normal: Consumer Comfort
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Morning Consult has surveyed thousands of Americans to gauge the effects of the coronavirus on public opinion and consumer behavior across a wide range of categories, from politics and economics to shopping and dining. As the country has transitioned into a “new normal,” Morning Consult closely monitored how American attitudes are shifting in these later stages of the pandemic.
The Consumer Comfort tracker examines how comfortable the American public feels engaging in a range of different entertainment, socializing and travel activities as the pandemic lags on.
This tracker was updated monthly alongside theReturn to Normal: Views on the Pandemic Tracker, which monitors the public's attitudes on the coronavirus, including how leadership has handled the pandemic, vaccination and economic impacts.
This tracker is no longer being updated. Explore more coverage on thereturn to normalhere.
