When it comes to coronavorus vaccines, Americans trust Dr. Anthony Fauci more than President Trump or Joe Biden. A new ABC News/Ipsos poll finds that a bit more than two-thirds of those surveyed said they don’t have confidence in Trump’s ability to confirm if a vaccine is safe, and about half say that for Biden. But a majority of Americans feel they can rely on Fauci—whose statements about COVID-19 have often clashed with Trump’s. There’s been a 10-point drop in the percentage of people who say the U.S. will eventually get a safe vaccine—although interestingly, the decline was sharpest among Republicans.
