A new Gallup poll shows fewer Americans are avoiding small social gatherings as states begin easing coronavirus restrictions.
published Monday shows that number is starting to decline as states around the country begin reopening.
According to an earlier Gallup poll published in mid-April, 84 percent of responders said they were avoiding small gatherings due to their concern about the pandemic by the end of March, just a couple of weeks after the country's first statewide stay-at-home order was issued by California Governor Gavin Newsom.
Though relaxing adherence to social distancing guidelines appeared to occur regardless of a responder's political background, researchers found Republicans and Independents were more likely to seek social connections outside the home than Democrats. Between the end of March and the end of April, about 4 percent fewer Democrats said they were avoiding small groups, compared with 16 percent fewer Republicans and 10 percent fewer Independents.
