New Poll Shows What Americans Think Of The Epstein Scandal

A new poll reveals that most Americans reject the government’s explanation for Jeffrey Epstein’s death, signaling a deeper mistrust that continues to haunt officials—despite attempts to put the matter to rest.

Key Facts:

  • A Rasmussen Reports poll found that 56% of voters don’t believe the FBI’s conclusion that Epstein killed himself.
  • Only 21% of respondents believe the official FBI/DOJ narrative; 23% remain unsure.
  • The poll surveyed 1,164 likely U.S. voters from July 8 to 10, 2025.
  • Mark Mitchell of Rasmussen called the results “brutal,” adding the issue “isn’t going to go away.”
  • Attorney General Pam Bondi is facing calls to resign over a flawed “Phase 1” Epstein info release.

The Rest of The Story:

Despite official efforts to close the case on Jeffrey Epstein, the public isn’t buying it.

A majority of voters—56%—say they do not believe the FBI’s finding that Epstein committed suicide.

Only 21% accept the official account, while 23% aren’t sure either way.

The survey, conducted by Rasmussen Reports, is the latest indication that public confidence in government transparency remains dangerously low.

“This is brutal and the issue isn’t going to go away,” said Mark Mitchell, head pollster at Rasmussen.

President Trump has voiced support for Attorney General Pam Bondi, who has been managing the Department of Justice’s approach to the Epstein case.

But Bondi now finds herself in the crosshairs over how she handled the public release of information.

Bondi’s office reportedly arranged a “Phase 1” release of Epstein documents to a group of influencers.

The release backfired and intensified demands for accountability and clarity.

Calls for Bondi’s resignation are growing louder, raising questions about whether the administration can contain the fallout—or if this issue will linger into the heart of the election cycle.

Commentary:

It’s no surprise Americans have lost faith in the Epstein case narrative.

After years of secrecy, conflicting reports, and bizarre handling of key details, the government’s explanations feel more like evasions than truth.

The idea that a high-profile inmate like Epstein—who was under surveillance and previously on suicide watch—could take his own life without any accountability strains all credibility.

It’s hard to accept that so many “coincidences” just happened to align in his favor.

Pam Bondi’s clumsy document release only made things worse.

When officials start releasing partial information to hand-picked influencers rather than the public, it looks like manipulation—not transparency.

Voters see through this.

And while this administration has scored wins on the economy, foreign policy, and the border, it can’t keep asking the American people to trust them blindly on this issue.

The Epstein saga won’t disappear just because it’s inconvenient. A true reckoning is needed—full disclosure, clear accountability, and consequences for those who failed to protect the public’s right to know.

Americans are willing to support strong leadership. But they also expect honesty. Without it, even the best administrations risk losing credibility—and voters.

If Bondi can’t deliver that, then she shouldn’t be in the job. The public is tired of being treated like they can’t handle the truth. They can.

What they can’t tolerate is being lied to or ignored.

The Bottom Line:

A majority of voters reject the FBI’s conclusion on Epstein’s death, reflecting a deeper mistrust in government transparency.

The missteps by AG Pam Bondi have only added fuel to the fire.

Unless the administration changes course and fully discloses what it knows, this controversy will continue to erode public trust—at a time when unity and credibility matter most.
