Showing Original Post only (View all)Black Americans Lead Whites in Getting Vaccinated By Double Digits in New Poll [View all]
Link to tweet
Black Americans have surpassed White Americans in rate of vaccination by double digits, according to a new NBC News poll.
Black and Latino Americans lagged behind in vaccination rates for months as polls showed hesitancy among various communities, but vaccination rates among Black people have dramatically increased during the Delta surge.
That increase is reflected in the NBC News/Hart Research Associates/Public Opinion Strategies poll released Tuesday. Respondents were asked Have you already gotten the vaccine?
snip
Black Americans were the racial group most likely to say theyve been vaccinated at 76 percent, with Latinos also above the average at 71 percent, and White people at 66 percent.
The lowest self-reported rate of vaccinations was among respondents who voted for former President Donald Trump in 2020. Only 50 percent of thoe Trump voters say they have been vaccinated.
This is excellent news.

Actual data on 58% of the vaccinated population is substantially more accurate than a poll
