Poll: The American People Want Dr. Fauci to Resign

How the mighty have fallen. According to a Hill-HarrisX poll released on Thursday, a majority of registered voters, by 52 percent, believe that Dr. Anthony Fauci should resign, while 48 percent believe he should not. This latest poll saw an increase in overall voters, Republicans, Democrats, and Independents who want the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) to resign from when the question was asked in June. At that time, 42 percent answered Fauci should resign.

Broken down by political party, 32 percent of Democrats think Fauci should resign, which is up 12 points from June. The 75 percent of Republicans who believe Fauci should resign is up 9 points, as is the 47 percent of Independents who do.

The poll was conducted October 26-27 with 937 registered voters and a margin of error of plus or minus 3.2 percentage points.
