Gallup Poll: 40% Of Republicans Don’t Trust Doctors

December 7, 2021 Coronavirus, Republicans

Republicans are less likely now than they were in the past to say they are confident in the accuracy of important medical advice their doctor gives them. Currently, 60% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents are confident, down from 73% in 2010 and 70% in 2002.

These results are based on Gallup’s annual Health and Healthcare survey, conducted Nov. 1-16. The changes in attitudes about medical advice are consistent with Gallup’s recent findings of partisan divergence in trust in science, more generally.

Ongoing Gallup polling about COVID-19 finds Americans are largely following advice from public health officials and doctors to limit the spread of the virus by getting vaccinated against COVID-19 or wearing face masks in public places. However, Republicans are far more likely than other subgroups to be unvaccinated and to have no intention of getting vaccinated.
