NEW POLL: Confidence in Fauci Plummets, Americans Ignoring COVID Guidance

• 66% of GOP, 41% of IND, and 20% of DEM Say Confidence in Dr. Fauci has Decreased
• Only 26.4% of Voters Looking to the CDC/Federal Government in Determining When They Consider the COVID-19 Pandemic Over
• New National Poll from Convention of States Action and The Trafalgar Group

Convention of States Action, in partnership with The Trafalgar Group—one of America’s most accurate pollsters in 2016, 2018 and 2020—is releasing the results of a new national survey. Results were from surveys conducted May 14th thru May 19th of 1,000 or more likely 2022 election voters.

“Since the beginning, Dr. Anthony Fauci has served as the face of, and has set the tone for, Washington’s response to the COVID-19 Pandemic. His numerous contradictions admitted lies, and opinion-driven directives rather than science-driven guidance have impacted the way voters view him and the federal government’s response overall. Further, new evidence emerging about Fauci’s potential funding of gain of function research in China is having an impact,” said Mark Meckler, President of Convention of States Action. “In contrast, the public sees common sense leadership from a number of governors around the country, and evidence is piling up as to who was right and who was wrong. Voters are wisely deciding for themselves and ignoring DC.”
