Polling and vaccines for @KFF, formerly @CNNPolitics and @Pollster. Willing to talk your ear off about the state of polling or the state of Maine.

The trans survey is the 36th in a decades-long partnership between KFF and the Post. I especially want to thank @AshleyKirzinger @gracesparks @Mollybrodie @sfcpoll @caseyparks @EmGusk & @FenitN for bringing this one to life. Hear more later this morning. https://t.co/VcdWUz0uxl

Thanks so much to #PoorlyDrawnPets for this perfect rendition of my cat Mia! She looks amazing in her bikini.

Starting to get a sense of the public's understanding of, and demand for, the new bivalent Covid booster:

-1/2 of adults have heard little or nothing about the new booster

-4 in 10 fully vaccinated adults not sure if CDC recommends the booster for them

T-minus slightly less than 24 hours until Impollster Syndrome at #AAPOR! Join me, @gracesparks, @neil_ruiz, and Erin Fordyce of @NORCNews to talk about impostor syndrome in the survey world, how to address it, and why feeling like an impostor can actually be an asset!

@dan_ness @1PointofOrder Thank you for the link! Yep, our data (cited in the article) shows significant shares are concerned about the cost of the vaccine even though it is free https://t.co/t42b5qJIdc

[Grace Sparks @gracesparks]

This morning we released a profile of the remaining unvaccinated adults in the US. As the group continues to shrink, their demographic makeup differs between when or if they intend on getting vaccinated.

[Grace Sparks @gracesparks]

Link wasn't working, should be good here! https://t.co/D3FtkP8ppU

@MileahKromer @KFF Thank you for the kind words!

[Grace Sparks @gracesparks]

And one of our most relevant findings, parents are pretty across the board on getting their child vaccinated (with vaccinations for 12-15 year-olds around the corner).

Young people tend to be in vaccination bubbles, with more friends vaccinated if they themselves have been

Super cool data from the KFF polling team, an addition to all the quantitative stuff. We've got quotes and feedback on messages and messengers for the COVID-19 vaccine, all "In Their Own Words."

@LaurenDezenski @KFF I will eat bagels and think of you!!!

[Grace Sparks @gracesparks]

Announcement (after not tweeting for an eon, I'm so sorry): I'm starting a new position today with @KFF polling team, specifically looking at vaccines and coronavirus. I'm so excited to start, and as we all go through this please send me cool polls and data!

[Grace Sparks @gracesparks]

@WJCadigan @KFF Thank you! I'll miss the Maine CNN club. Please keep me updated on any ice disk goings on.
