The light at the end of the pandemic tunnel

Yesterday we talked about American pessimism around the economy. But as our latest Axios-Ipsos poll shows, we are optimistic about some things like the state of the pandemic. According to our poll, Americans are more likely to think that going back to normal life is now a low to moderate risk. That same poll found that most Americans are happy with how their kids’ schools are handling Covid precautions and student safety. Plus, Meta says it will block some ad targeting on Facebook. And, how cities are staying resilient in the face of climate change. Guests: Axios' Margaret Talev and Sara Fischer. Credits: Axios Today is produced in partnership with Pushkin Industries.
