Two-Thirds of the Public Say the U.S. Should Play a Major Role in Distributing COVID-19 Vaccines Globally

Nearly 9 in 10 Democrats support the U.S. taking at least a “major role” (87%), while most Republicans (57%) say the U.S. should play a “minor role” or “no role at all,” a larger share than the 41% who want the U.S. to play a “leading” or “major role.” CONTINUED
