More than 6 in 10 Americans believe the coronavirus outbreak in the United States is getting worse, a record number according to a new Gallup survey.

The findings come as parts of the U.S. are experiencing a surge in new COVID-19 cases, causing several states to put reopening plans on hold.

The U.S. on Wednesday reported more than 50,000 new cases of the virus, marking the first time single-day infections have surpassed that figure.

The Gallup survey, released on Thursday, found that 65 percent of Americans say that the coronavirus situation is getting either "a little" or "a lot" worse, marking a new high. Just 23 percent of respondents said that the situation is getting "a lot" or "a little" better.

The figure also represents a new low in Americans' feelings about the outbreak.
