Public trust in CDC, Fauci, and other top health officials is evaporating, poll finds
WASHINGTON — A new poll paints a bleak picture of Americans’ views toward the coronavirus pandemic.
The poll, from the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation, finds that the public’s trust in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S.’s top doctors, like Anthony Fauci, is rapidly dropping, particularly among Republicans. It also finds that a sizable percentage of Americans still hold a number of incorrect beliefs about the pandemic, and that less than half of Americans surveyed would want to get vaccinated against Covid-19 if a vaccine was available before November.
