NEW: Polling Shows Americans Distrust Donald Trump and His Extreme HHS Pick RFK Jr.’s Dangerous Views on Health Arrow

New polling shows that most Americans do not trust Donald Trump and his conspiracy theory-spewing HHS pick RFK Jr. - and oppose their dangerous stances that risk our public safety and health. Americans deserve better than RFK Jr.'s long record of spreading medical misinformation and threatening health care access - and want nothing to do with the toxic agenda he'll push with Trump.

New polling shows that Americans do not trust Donald Trump, RFK Jr., and other incoming Trump administration officials, especially compared to Biden-Harris administration public health officials.

Axios: "Most Americans distrust Trump, RFK Jr. on health: Axios-Ipsos poll"

"Members of the incoming Trump administration won't be entering office with widespread public trust.

"60% or more of respondents say they have at least a fair amount of trust in information from the Food and Drug Administration, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or National Institutes of Health. And 45% report trusting information from Fauci.

"Fewer say they have the same amount of trust in information on health topics from Trump (32%), Kennedy (30%), Elon Musk (25%), Mehmet Oz (23%) or others Trump has nominated to lead federal health agencies."

Trump faces longstanding public credibility issues as independent voters trust Democrats more.

Axios: "'A lot of Trump's health picks aren't well-known, so they're not trusted, but even Donald Trump hasn't seen a resurgence in public views of his credibility on public health since COVID' […]

"…independents tend to side with Democrats on the trust issue: Even now, 45% of independents say they trust Fauci, though his rating has fallen since the height of COVID."

RFK Jr. is completely out of touch with average Americans, with the majority of respondents disagreeing with a wide range of his stances.

Axios: "Just over a quarter of the public (29%) supports removing fluoride from water supplies. About 1 in 5 (18%) back ending vaccine requirements for attending public schools. One quarter (24%) support firing science staff at the FDA and NIH. And 1 in 5 (19%) would reduce testing requirements before allowing new drugs or therapies to be sold to the public. […]

"'But as you get to some of his other views on public health - removing fluoride, ending vaccine requirements for kids, firing research and science staff at health agencies - only a small minority support any of the non-nutrition health things he's calling for,' Jackson said."
