A poll released by Monmouth University on Monday found that over two-thirds of registered voters in New Jersey support Governor Murphy’s executive order mandating that face masks be worn in schools.
According to the poll, 67% of registered voters, and 69% of parents, support the requirement for school students, teachers, and staff wear face masks during the upcoming school year. 53% would also support a mandate for school students over the age of 12 to be vaccinated.
Additionally, just 48% of poll respondents say schools should be fully open for in-person instruction while 39% say that schools should have a mix of in-person and remote learning.
The support for masks in schools is sharply divided on ideological lines. 86% of Democrats said they support the measure, 58% of independents support it, but just 28% of Republicans say they back the mandate.

Who’s taking the time to vote on these polls? Just sayin…
The world is insane these days about mask and vaccinated situation!! I feel everything is upside down!! I believe there will be only cure by positive attitude and end government mandate. The government can’t control our freedom of right !!!The Constitution give our freedom of right ..
Good, stop fighting covid, let the old, the fat, the unhealthy, and the immune compromised die off, leaving a stronger world for all of us.
In case it wasn’t clear, I was being sarcastic. Upside down is when people refuse ANY precaution to save lives. If it comes from the government, it must be wrong. Even though this is literally the government’s job.
Of course you get these numbers for the poll. Cause this is a corrupt democratic state so all the democrats vote for whatever their democratic boss governor says
This poll is about as accurate as the election results. It’s inconceivable that 69% of parents thinks this is a good idea.
Child abuse for ANYONE to agree with these children mask mandates.
Nobody asked me…who did they poll?!
Do you believe they asked 2/3rds of the registered voters? that would be 3,919,702 people.
How many ppl. did they actually ask? and did they only include those that they wanted to include and disqualify all those that said it’s child abuse? Who ran the poll? it’s obviously slanted.
Kol hakovid!!
Socialist liberal sheeple will be sheeple forever.
The infection rate in NJ is only 0.0014!!! More people have a cold! The death rate has been BH very low for a long time.
GET YOUR HEADS OUT OF THAT DARK PLACE AND THINK FOR YOURSELVES!
With the dismal Lakewood vaccination rate we can expect a lot of housing coming onto the market in the next few months. Natural selection at its finest. Let the anti science population die off.
How long we gonna torture our kids like that for something with so little data to back this up……….by data I mean on how kids transfer the virus….
