16% Say State and Local Officials Should Decide Whether Vaccination Should be Required For Children to Attend School, Only 15% Say Federal Government
(Austin, TX—June 8, 2021) Convention of States Action, in partnership with The Trafalgar Group—one of America’s most accurate pollsters in 2016, 2018 and 2020—is releasing the results of a new national survey. Results were from surveys conducted June 3rd thru June 6th of 1,000 or more likely 2022 election voters.
“Voters are watching the unravelling of Dr. Anthony Fauci, most notably amidst mounting evidence that COVID-19 was leaked from a lab in Wuhan, China. Further, Fauci’s potential connection to funding research at the lab in question is creating a cloud of doubt over our entire federal health establishment,” said Mark Meckler, President of Convention of States Action. “Thus, when federal, state, and even local officials insist that parents must get children vaccinated in order to attend school, Americans—regardless of political party—just aren’t buying what they’re selling.”
