NBC News poll contradicts CDC data on black and Hispanic vaccine hesitancy
Everything you have heard about vaccine hesitancy among blacks and Hispanics is wrong, according to a poll released this week by NBC News . Neither group actually distrusts the coronavirus vaccines . On the contrary, an overwhelming number of blacks and Hispanics say theyre already vaccinated, according to the NBC survey.
This is great news, but its also at odds with federal data showing blacks and Hispanics are among the most hesitant to get the shot. NBC staffers have been eager this week to share the polls unexpected findings. Based on NBC poll, black voters were MOST likely to be vaccinated, NBC White House correspondent Mike Memoli said this week, adding further, And then this breakdown: 91% of Biden voters are already vaccinated vs. 50% of Trump voters. 27% of Trump voters say they won't get vaccinated, vs 2% of Biden voters.
The survey, which was conducted by Hart Research between Aug. 14-17, sampled 1,000 adults 18 and older. Of the 1,000 respondents polled for NBCs survey, 790 of them are registered voters.
