As President Donald Trump continues to tout the progress of coronavirus vaccine development, going so far this week as to promise delivery to everyone in the U.S. by next spring, a majority of Americans report having no confidence at all in him to confirm the safety of a potential inoculation, according
Fewer than 1 in 10 Americans have a great deal of confidence in Trump to confirm vaccine effectiveness with another 18% reporting only a"good amount" of confidence in the poll conducted by Ipsos in partnership with ABC News using Ipsos' Knowledge Panel. In contrast, 69% don't have confidence in the president vouching for a vaccine, including 16% saying"not so much" and 53% saying"none at all.
In May, 75% of Republicans reported that they were likely to get a vaccine, compared to 25% who said they were unlikely to get one. The spread is even in this week's poll. Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden performed better than Trump on the question of confirming a vaccine's safety and effectiveness, but still received net negative results, with 41% expressing confidence and 52% a lack of confidence.
Pharmaceutical companies, on the other hand, performed worse than health experts and public health organizations, with a slight majority of respondents saying they either have"not so much" confidence in the corporations or none at all.
