(The Hill) – A recent poll reveals that more than half of registered voters express a lack of confidence in the medical information endorsed by Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
According to the Quinnipiac University poll, 57 percent of participants admitted they feel either “not so confident” or “not confident at all” regarding medical details provided by Secretary Kennedy.
Meanwhile, 17 percent of those surveyed expressed being “very confident” with Kennedy’s medical references, 22 percent felt “somewhat confident,” while five percent either remained uncertain or chose not to answer.
Concerning trends have emerged among Republican senators over President Trump’s unique approach to health policy, especially his support for Kennedy and his attempts to alter the vaccination schedule for children despite considerable opposition from healthcare professionals.
President Trump has signaled strong backing for Kennedy, who has a background of questioning vaccines, by advising mothers against simultaneous multiple vaccinations for their newborns and cautioning against the use of Tylenol during pregnancy.
Kennedy garnered a job approval rating of 33 percent in the Quinnipiac poll, with 54 percent disapproving of his job.
The Quinnipiac Poll was conducted from September 18 to 21, engaging 1,276 respondents with a margin of error of ±3.3 percentage points.
