After the latest tranche of Epstein files were released, a new Reuters/Ipsos poll shows that 86% of American adults agree that powerful people are rarely held accountable for their misdeeds. There wasn't much difference between Democrats and Republicans on agreement, just on intensity:
The poll also showed that 77% of respondents felt that the Epstein files have lowered their trust in government. In other words, a large percentage of the population thinks the government is lying to the people about Epstein and is trying to cover it up. This strongly suggests that the issue is not about to go away soon, no matter how many times Donald Trump or Pam Bondi says: "Nothing to see here. Move on."
While supporters of both parties distrust the government and think it is lying, they differ on what to do next. When presented with the statement "It's time for the country to move on from talking about the Epstein files," 67% of Republicans and 21% of Democrats agreed. That also certainly means there is a market for more about Epstein. It probably also means that a bunch of people, particularly Republicans, have figured out that if everything comes out, it's going to hurt more Republicans than Democrats. (V)
