Poll: Only 25% of Americans think Trump has 'followed through' on his promise to release the Epstein files

After months of opposition, President Trump finally signed a law last week requiring the Justice Department to release all of its files related to the investigation of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

But even then, just a quarter of Americans (25%) think the president has “followed through” on his promise to make the Epstein files public, according to a new Yahoo/YouGov poll. Nearly twice as many say he has not (48%), and the rest (27%) are unsure.

The new survey of 1,684 U.S. adults was conducted from Nov. 21 to Nov. 24 — immediately after Congress passed and Trump signed the bipartisan measure known as the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which compels the Justice Department to “publish (in a searchable and downloadable format) all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials” related to Epstein within 30 days.

The bill itself, which only one lawmaker opposed, is remarkably popular with the public: A full 84% of Americans approve of it, while just 3% disapprove. Reflecting the measure’s near-unanimous support on Capitol Hill, Republicans approve almost as often (83%) as independents (87%) and Democrats (90%).

1. This 25% are just being contrarian

He has done nothing to help this effort.

2. That 25% are the ones who say everything he does is right because he does it.

They neither know nor care what specific actions, if anything, he has done to "follow through" on "releasing the Epstein files", just that by (their) definition he has done it correctly.

Those 25% would literally eat his poop and call it delicious if given the opportunity.

3. Funny thing about this question is IMHO IQ47 never actually promised to release the Epstein files

Before I go on here, I heartily approve of pollsters asking this question this way and am heartened to see the high numbers against him on it.

But what he did was "maybe/maybe not/on the one hand/but on the other hand/it could happen/but then again..." the shit out of the question in the (exactly two that I can find) times he publicly addressed the question in interviews, and he did not address it on the stump that I can find record of.

So, saying he "promised" or even that it was "part of his campaign" is a big stretch IMHO. It's more like he dabbled/teased he maybe might have them released.

He's ALWAYS acted like he's terrified for them to be released, IOW.
