(The Hill) — Just three percent of Americans say they’re satisfied with the amount of information the federal government has released in the case involving disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to a CNN/SSRS survey released Tuesday.
Meanwhile, 50 percent of U.S. adults say in the poll that they are dissatisfied with the amount of information released, 29 percent say it doesn’t matter to them either way, and 17 percent say they haven’t heard enough to say.
The poll, conducted late last week into the weekend, followed the release of a July 7 memo from the Justice Department that concluded Epstein did not keep a client list to blackmail high-profile individuals, refuting popular conspiracy theories that had been circulating for years among segments of President Trump’s base.
The memo also reaffirmed an early finding that Epstein died by suicide in his jail cell in 2019, shooting down some right-wing suspicions that he was murdered.
Some of Trump’s most ardent supporters have been particularly outraged at the Trump administration’s handling of the Epstein case over the last week, but the survey shows broad dissatisfaction across demographics and party lines.
Republicans are slightly less likely than Democrats to say they’re dissatisfied with the amount of information released in the case, at 40 percent compared to Democrats’ 56 percent. Among independents, 52 percent say they’re dissatisfied.
But the satisfaction rate holds steady across party lines, with 3 percent of Democrats and independents saying they’re satisfied, compared to 4 percent of Republicans.
Republicans are more likely to say it doesn’t matter to them either way — at 38 percent — compared to 27 percent of Democrats and 26 percent of independents.
Broken down by partisan divides, 7 percent of conservatives say they’re satisfied with the amount of information on Epstein that the federal government has released, compared to 2 percent of both liberals and moderates.
Meanwhile, a striking 66 percent of liberals are dissatisfied with the amount of information released, compared to 48 percent of moderates and 42 percent of conservatives.
And relatively few liberals, 18 percent, say it doesn’t matter to them either way, compared to 32 percent of both moderates and conservatives.
The CNN/SSRS survey includes 1,057 adults and was conducted July 10-13. The margin of error is 3.5 percentage points.
