A new New Echelon–Rockefeller Foundation poll finds widespread public support in the United States for restoring or increasing U.S. aid aimed at preventing and responding to Ebola outbreaks as cases surge. The survey, conducted ahead of America’s 250th anniversary, reports that nine in ten Americans (90%) across the political spectrum support funding programs designed to prevent disease outbreaks abroad, identifying outbreak prevention as the highest-testing program area included in the poll. The findings also indicate that about three in four Americans support restoring U.S. aid to help fight Ebola, with support spanning major political groups. The results are presented alongside demographic and partisan context, including responses from people who primarily support President Trump, suggesting support is not limited to any single political segment. The poll characterizes the level of support as strong and broad, reflecting public appetite for foreign health and disease-prevention funding in response to the Ebola surge. The survey is released by PR Newswire based on the New Echelon–Rockefeller Foundation polling results.
