AP-NORC Poll: 3 in 4 Americans Back Requiring Wearing Masks

Associated Press

   LOS ANGELES, CALIF. - Three out of four Americans, including a majority
   of Republicans, favor requiring people to wear face coverings while
   outside their homes, a new poll finds, reflecting fresh alarm over
   spiking coronavirus cases and a growing embrace of government advice
   intended to safeguard public health.

   The survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs
   Research also finds that about two-thirds of Americans disapprove of
   how President Donald Trump is handling the outbreak, an unwelcome sign
   for the White House in an election year shaped by the nation's battle
   with the pandemic.
