Americans' faith in the agency charged with protecting the homeland from the rapidly escalating Ebola outbreak in West Africa -- which has already crept onto U.S. soil -- has dropped sharply since the crisis emerged.
A CBS News Poll has found that positive assessment of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has declined dramatically, with only 37 percent of respondents saying the CDC is doing an excellent or good job -- down from 60 percent in a May 2013 Gallup poll.

Forgot to add this:
At the top of the list with 73 percent of respondents expressing a “great deal/quite a lot” of confidence, was the U.S. military.
NO! Does the bear still do that thing in the woods?
Since I have zero percent confidence in any agency of the federal government,
my confidence level in the CDC has not declined as a result of any of this.
That outfit really took a nosedive when it went over to being the Center for Disease Redistribution.
It’s a plot by Obola and the LSM to put up a wholly-owned clown of their own making that lets them look like geniuses by comparison.
No sh*t, Sherlock! Abject incompetence will tend to do that for your poll numbers.
CC
Total loss of credibility.
—>> 37% of the populace is brain dead.
We need a list of their names. :)
I have zero confidence in America’s government agencies.
I have zero confidence in America’s cultural institutions.
I have zero confidence in America’s citizenry.
A few decades ago, I did. But now, America has turned into a country of incompetent wimps and faggots, with a bottomless capacity for entitlement, and zero capacity for responsibility.
Yes votes mainly from negroes and government employees.
So, it appears that most Americans are ignorant of what has gone on in the military.
I believe there are lots of lonely and/or screwed people in the world that love to take part in polls.
So you think this poll is skewed, and public confidence in the CDC is higher than indicated?
My confidence in CDC as managed by Frieden and this terrorist administration is ZERO. Time for the military to take over more than the Ebola response.
Please call congress and tell them that we must be deadly serious about containing Ebola by strict quarantine within the United States and from infected nations. This is our right and our duty and it is THEIR duty to protect US.
Capitol switchboard is 202-224-3121 or Google your congressman or senator and get his contact information and call him / her office directly. You can also call or go to their local offices.
I believe decisive response is urgent because you can’t put this Ebola genie back in the bottle once it gets out. It is a fire, it consumes all the fuel it can get and the fuel is people. The only way to stop a fire is to block it from the fuel or cool it with water. A vaccine or medicine to treat Ebola would be the water and we don’t have reliable, enough or any.
Every possible measure must be taken to stop the spread before draconian measures are imposed. What is being done now is sloppy. We are walking a dangerous road. The threat is blossoming by the day if not hour. Almost every hour there is some new Ebola development and none of them are good. This is a serious and potentially deadly event. Unchecked it could destroy or weaken the United States and facilitate our destruction by others. It has that potential for every country and that is why so many are responding with such strict quarantines. These consequences, no matter how small the probabilities, demand a full effort and significant response.
Ebola is being spread here in the United States right now. First Texas, then Ohio then? Terror is an excellent weapon. It disrupts, confuses, paralyzes and destroys a society. Many others and we on FR have speculated that terrorists may spread Ebola. How do you that remember 9/11 feel right now compared to what you felt then? Do you want to gather your loved ones near you to protect them? I do. Even more than I did on September 11, 2001! Isn’t this passive response by this administration accomplishing the very same things a terrorist would want?
When something is being done that makes as little sense as what Obama is doing there has to be some other reason. I leave it to you dear reader to draw your own conclusions as to the reasons.
What is happening now is insane. It makes no sense at all. For example the head of CDC says: “Stopping travel from Africa won’t do any good because you have to get people into Africa to fight Ebola.” “You can’t get Ebola from an infected person on a bus but an infected person should never be on a bus because he can infect others.” “Blocking travel from infected countries would damage their fragile economies.” What about ours? What about our safety? What about resources we have paid for that should be protecting us?
Even the most despotic dictatorship in Africa has acted to protect his nation by strict quarantine and stopping travel from infected countries. Even CDC, the UN and WHO advocate and credit strict quarantine for nipping the spread of Ebola in the bud at the source in places like Senegal and Nigeria where both have had faster and more successful outbreak controls than we have had here. 35 countries have stopped travel of people from infected West African countries. It is so obvious even a child could understand it so why is it OK for people from infected countries to travel here?
I will post this message and keep posting it until someone stops me.

>>>>Public confidence in CDC nosedives, poll finds<<<<
ya think?
Obama has inflicted massive damage on our country, and nothing he has done on purpose has done anything but harm. The only good is that he has squandered a century of goodwill and confidence, which should make it much harder for future socialists and enemies to use FedGov against us.
