At the same time, 68 percent said they believed Fauci, a member of former President Trump’s Coronavirus Task Force and a top adviser to President Biden on the pandemic, has provided trustworthy advice.

A total of 77 percent also expressed confidence in the information being put forth by the Food and Drug Administration about vaccines and vaccine science.
