• Among the general U.S. population, 38% believe allergy season has become either 'much more severe' (10%) or 'somewhat more severe' (28%), while 57% state it has 'Stayed about the same'.
• Perceptions of increased allergy severity vary by climate-attitude group, with the 'Alarmed' group showing the highest combined percentage of increased severity at 50% (16% 'much more severe' and 34% 'somewhat more severe').
