Majority Don’t Trust in Biden, Fauci to Handle Monkeypox Outbreak

Less Than Half of Democrats Have High Level of Trust in President Biden and Dr. Fauci’s Ability to Handle Latest Health Crisis

(Austin, TX—June 8, 2022) Convention of States Action, in partnership with The Trafalgar Group—one of America’s most accurate pollsters in 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2021—is releasing the results of a new national survey. Results were from surveys conducted May 25th through May 29th of over 1,000 likely 2022 election voters.

“Voters have only begun to understand just how bad the disastrous mismanagement of the COVID-19 Pandemic was, and yet the same team who caused this chaos is now running point on Monkeypox. Common sense is a greater factor than partisanship, which is why this poll finds that less than half of Democrats–who have historically been supportive of Dr. Fauci as well as the leader of their party–have a high level of trust in these leaders on this issue,” said Mark Meckler, President of Convention of States Action. “Biden and Fauci also have a huge deficit with majorities of Republicans and Independents, they are leading this response while being far, far behind the trust threshold.”
