Latest Axios/Ipsos Coronavirus Index also finds Americans are starting to see less risk in activities outside of the home, but this does not yet translate to behavioral change
Just 45 percent of those contacted said they had “a great deal” or “a fair amount” of faith in Biden to provide accurate information, according to the Axios/Ipsos data published on Tuesday, while 53 percent said they did not have “very much” faith in the president or “none at all.”
The number is a double-digit decline from December when 58 percent said they trusted Biden. And the numbers moved in the same direction across party lines: 81 percent of Democrats said they trusted Biden, a decline of 11 points, while 42 percent of independents said they had faith in him, a decline of 17 points, and 11 percent of Republicans, a drop of 10 points.
Compared to the past month, fewer Americans see going out as presenting a large risk to their health. However, this change in their risk calculation has not translated to significant behavioral change.
With Halloween on the horizon, fewer Americans now think allowing trick-or-treating in their community poses a large risk to their health (13% this year, 25% last year).
