Summary

A survey by Protect Our Care and Data for Progress reveals that public approval for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as HHS leader plummets when voters learn of his controversial views.

Initial approval stood at 45%, but fell to 39% after respondents were informed of his opposition to vaccines and drug development, with disapproval rising among independents (38% to 52%) and Republicans (16% to 27%).

Kennedy, once a Democrat, now supports Trump after running as an independent presidential candidate.
