Americans question Trump’s transparency on Epstein, UMass poll finds

UNITED STATES, AUG 4 – A recent UMass-Amherst poll found 52% of Americans believe Trump is not transparent about the Epstein case and 81% blame him for hiding information.

  • A recent UMass-Amherst poll from late July reveals that a majority of Americans believe President Trump is withholding details related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
  • This widespread suspicion follows Epstein's 2019 suicide in a New York prison and ongoing debates over the withheld Epstein files, which Trump promised to release.
  • The poll indicated that Trump's overall approval rating dropped from 27% in April to 21% in July, and a majority of 52% of respondents perceived a complete lack of openness from him in his role as president.
  • UMass polling director Nteta observed that Trump’s approval among the American public is nearing a critically low point, and highlighted that the Epstein controversy has served to unite Americans across party lines despite existing political divisions.
  • These results suggest Trump's handling of Epstein-related transparency may further damage his public standing and trust, underscoring calls from lawmakers for greater disclosure.
