That polling company is known to have asked loaded questions in polls and the accuracy record appears to vary. I'm not sure if it reflects reality or fear, because in general, less than 50% of the population become alienated to fully embrace anti-reality disinformation... Also, there is a difference with accepting the possibility that one in a million may suffer from strong immune reactions (fact), and believing that the vaccine is dangerous to most people (lie and alienation, forgetting the actual purpose of vaccines and denying their efficacy, etc.)
Edit/Adding, as for the 1/4 believing someone they know died because of the vaccine, it's clearly a false belief that does not match the actual data. Any cause of death, including SARS-CoV-2, could be misconstrued. Just like vaccines have been falsely blamed for the usual causes of death. Why believe incompetent random people's stories? It's part of the scientific method to avoid that kind of mistake.

Edit/Adding 3:
Poll data these days tend to be badly skewed towards older conservatives. A lot of professional guesswork goes into how to best unskew this. Different companies have different ideas how to do this. And some groups are so hard to reach that the error bars for them are borderline unacceptable. All of which makes the results much less reliable than they used to be.
Rasmussen doesn’t appear to bother, making the results so biased towards the views of older conservatives that they are nearly always an extreme outlier. They’re not taken seriously outside of right-wing echo chambers, and most poll aggregators no longer include them.
Honestly, given human variability and immune system issues, I'd expect that some people would die from any injection given to millions, even if the injection was isotonic saline only. (I had a coworker who welted up any time an aluminum needle was stuck in him. Made TB testing amusing.)
A certain elderly woman in Northern Ireland would like a word with you, OP: certainly as she is the first to be vaccinated.
The fact she’s still able to do so kills your opinions, Dwayne

Yes, and the same are also more likely to die or get serious complications, including paralysis (i.e. Guillain-Barré syndrome), from the actual virus infection.
