Poll: Three in Four Americans Support Restoring U.S. Aid for Disease Outbreak Fight
A recent poll indicates that three in four Americans favor restoring U.S. aid to combat disease outbreaks like Ebola. Nine in ten support funding programs to prevent such outbreaks abroad.
Three in four Americans advocate for the restoration of U.S. aid to combat disease outbreaks, including efforts against Ebola, according to a new poll conducted by Echelon and the Rockefeller Foundation. The survey was carried out in anticipation of America's 250th anniversary.
The poll also revealed that a significant nine in ten Americans, across the political spectrum, support funding programs aimed at preventing disease outbreaks internationally. This category received the highest level of support among the program areas tested in the survey.
The findings suggest a broad public consensus on the importance of global health initiatives. While the poll did not detail specific political leanings beyond a general statement about supporters of President Trump, it highlights a public will to engage in international health security.
