A new poll shows that the CDC has a higher positive rating than President Obama and congressional Democrats and Republicans
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has come under fire for what some consider is the agency’s “poor” response to the Ebola virus in the U.S.
Over 70% of the NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll respondents agree with the governors who have said that a 21 day, mandatory quarantine policy for health care professionals should be in place in order to decrease the chances of a possible outbreak.
However, the poll results also show that the CDC’s response to the Ebola virus has not won the CDC the award for the most disliked.
Based on the NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll results, registered voters gave the CDC a higher positive rating than President Obama and Congressional Democrats and Republicans.
The CDC received a 45% positive rating, a 26% negative rating, 25% neutral rating, and 4% not sure rating.
President Obama received a 43% positive rating, a 45% negative rating, and a 12% neutral rating.
Democrats in Congress received a 31% positive rating, a 46% negative rating, 19% neutral rating, and a 4% not sure rating; while Republicans in Congress received a 24% positive rating, a 52% negative rating, 21% neutral rating, and a 3% not sure rating.
The Tea Party group had the lowest positive rating at 20%, along with a 42% negative rating, 26% neutral rating, and 12% not sure rating.
Along with the question about which agency, group, or individual they viewed more favorably, respondents were also asked if they thought the United States could handle an outbreak of the Ebola virus and if the Ebola virus is one of the most important issues determining how they will vote during the 2014 Mid-Term elections.
Among the respondents, 57% of registered voters said that the U.S. is very prepared/somewhat prepared to deal with an outbreak of the Ebola virus compared to 42% who said that the U.S. is not able to handle an outbreak of the Ebola virus.
As for the most important issue during the 2014 Mid-Term election, 19% of registered voters said that the Ebola virus, ISIS, and Russia were more important compared to 77% of registered voters ranked the economy, health care, social security, and Medicare as the most important issues.
The Hart/McInturff group interviewed a total of 2,026 respondents, via cell phone and or landline phone, between October 30, 2014 and November 1, 2014. The respondents were divided into registered voters and likely voters. The poll included 1200 registered voters and 826 likely voters. The margin of error for the 1200 registered voters was +/- 2.83%, while the margin of error for the 826 likely voters was +/- 3.41%.
