Among respondents between 18 and 29 years old, the share of people who felt nervous or anxious increased by about five percentage points from the end of April to mid-July. 40% of respondents age 18-29 felt nervous, anxious, or on edge more than half of the last seven days or nearly every day during the survey taken between April 23 and May 5, while just 26.0% of people in this age group did not feel this way at all during the same week of polling. Older age cohorts were less likely to report frequent feelings of nervousness or anxiety. The share of respondents between age 30 and 39 who can’t stop worrying increased by nine percentage points from the end of April to mid-July.
