US EditionNonpartisan poll finds ‘remarkably low’ trust in federal health agencies
- A KFF poll released on May 6, 2025, found that less than half of Americans trust federal health agencies to ensure vaccine and prescription drug safety and effectively respond to outbreaks.
- This low trust follows a decline since September 2023, with partisan differences showing decreased confidence among Democrats and increased trust among Republicans.
- The survey of 1,380 U.S. Adults also showed high trust in doctors and pediatricians, with 82% and 81% respectively trusting them for vaccine information over political figures.
- KFF President Drew Altman emphasized that the country faces significant risks due to low trust in scientific agencies, especially if a future pandemic occurs.
- These results suggest ongoing challenges for public health communication and underscore the risks posed by eroding confidence in scientific agencies amid potential future health crises.
