A quarter of Americans know someone who has contracted the coronavirus, according to a Monmouth University poll released Monday, a figure that illustrates just how personally the pandemic has touched the public.

Seven percent reported that one of their family members has gotten COVID-19, while 12 percent said that at least one of their friends has come down with the disease, the Monmouth survey found. Five percent said a work colleague has been stricken with the deadly virus.

One percent of respondents said a patient of theirs has contracted coronavirus, while fewer than 1 percent said they themselves had come down with the virus.

The findings also underscore the impact the virus has had on racial minorities. The poll showed that respondents who are white were less likely than those who are Latino or of another race to report that they or someone they know has fallen ill with coronavirus.

“Americans feel an increasing impact from this public health crisis every week, maybe even every day. These results also underscore how certain groups, particularly racial groups, are being hit harder than others,” said Patrick Murray, the director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute.

Overall, 74 percent of respondents said they do not know anyone who has gotten the coronavirus. Even so, the survey found that 83 percent of Americans are concerned that someone in their family will fall ill with the coronavirus, including 50 percent who said they are “very concerned.”

The poll also found that the pandemic has taken a toll on the daily lives of a vast majority of Americans. Eighty-nine percent said the virus has had some kind of impact on their lives, including 62 percent who said that it has had a “major impact.”

Only 10 percent of respondents said the outbreak has had no impact on their daily lives.

While many countries have been hit by the pandemic, it has had a particularly profound impact on the U.S., which now leads the world in the total number of confirmed deaths. On Saturday, the U.S. surpassed Italy for that record, with more than 20,000 known deaths from the virus.

There have been nearly 560,000 confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the U.S., according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.

The Monmouth poll also illustrates the economic toll the virus has wrought on the U.S. Forty-one percent of respondents reported a loss in income due to reduced hours or less business as a result of the pandemic. And more than 1 in 5 respondents said they have struggled to pay their bills.

Overall, 27 percent said either they or someone else in their household has been laid off because of the coronavirus outbreak.

Still, Americans are overwhelmingly hopeful that their lives will return to normal once the pandemic subsides. Sixty-nine percent of respondents said they are “very hopeful” things will return to pre-pandemic standards once the outbreak ends, while another 26 percent said they are “somewhat hopeful."

The Monmouth poll surveyed 857 U.S. adults by telephone from April 3 to 7. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points.
