The survey includes responses from a national sample of 1,001 U.S. adults collected via phone from May 25-28. 

Four survey findings:

1. Forty-three percent of repsondents said they would definitely get a COVID-19 vaccine, while 28 percent said they probably would.

2. Fifty-seven percent of respondents said it was more important to control the pandemic's spread, even if it hurts the economy. 

3. In contrast, 37 percent said it was more important to restart the economy, even if it hurts pandemic response efforts. 

4. Sixty-eight percent of respondents said they were somewhat or very worried about a second COVID-19 wave this fall.

5. Forty-two percent said they personally knew someone diagnosed with COVID-19, up 11 percent from late March.
