Majority says economy reopening too quickly

A majority of the public thinks that the United States is reopening the economy too quickly, according to a new opinion poll.

An ABC News/Ipsos survey finds that 56% of people in the U.S. feel that the pace of the reopening is too fast, while 29% said the pace was about right, and 15% said it was too slow. Coronavirus cases have surged recently in parts of the U.S., leading governors in New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, and Utah to pause the reopening of their economies. The poll was conducted from Wednesday through Thursday and sampled 579 adults.
