A new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows Americans becoming less concerned about infection and less supportive of restrictions. A majority of Americans still have concerns about contracting COVID-19, and significant shares still support the kinds of public health restrictions that states have rolled back. On Wednesday, the U.S. reported 34,300 new COVID-19 cases, near the high of 36,400 reached on a single day in April in a count kept by Johns Hopkins University. Roughly three-quarters of Democrats, but only about 4 in 10 Republicans, favor limiting the size of gatherings to 10 people or fewer.
