Poll: Majority of Americans Disapprove of RFK Jr. as Health Secretary
A recent poll reveals a growing partisan divide in Americans’ views on health information, with political affiliation heavily influencing beliefs. This is demonstrated by the conflicting reactions to former President Trump’s statements about acetaminophen, as well as declining trust in the CDC, particularly among Democrats. The appointment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services has further exacerbated these divisions, with a majority disapproving of his performance, particularly among Democrats and independents, while Republicans often trust his health advice. As a result, individuals are increasingly relying on differing sources for health information, leading to a fragmented public health landscape.
