> In a recent STAT-Harris survey, 82% of Democrats and 72% of Republicans expressed concern that the Covid-19 vaccine approval process would be driven more by politics than by science. More than 80% of independents, Republicans, and Democrats said they would worry about the safety of a vaccine that was approved quickly.
That's from this article, but it is broadly in line with other recent polls. Most Democrats and most Republicans are concerned about this administration rushing a vaccine.
The president has not helped matters by stating that he thinks a vaccine could be ready before the election, and by publicly attacking the FDA for supposedly trying to prevent that.
