Less than one in 10 Americans describe the current state of the COVID-19 pandemic as a 'serious crisis,' according to a recent Axios poll.

The latest poll, published Tuesday, also found that about three in four respondents said it was a 'manageable problem' and one in six feel it isn't a problem at all.  

Of 1,043 respondents, nine percent - about 93 people - said they would characterize the current COVID status quo as a 'crisis,' with Democrats five times as likely (16 percent) to call it such compared to three percent of Republican respondents.

Three percent of Democrats said COVID-19 is currently 'not a problem at all' compared to 31 percent of Republicans, the poll found.

The majority of respondents took the middle road, with 73 percent of everyone polled - 66 percent Republicans and 81 percent Democrats - saying that coronavirus was 'a problem, but manageable' in the U.S.

The latest wave of the Axios/Ipsos national survey showed a slight increase in respondents' perception of risk with certain activities such as flying, returning to work in person and attending sports events. 

According to Axios, the highest percentage of respondents reported visiting friends and family members outside their homes since the early part of last summer. 

The highest portion of respondents - 37 percent - since the outlet began conducting the polls in March 2020 reported that they had returned to their 'normal,' pre-COVID routines. 

Compared to 51 percent of respondents in early February, just 36 percent of those polled this round supported businesses requiring customers to show proof of vaccination to enter.
