(Worthy News) – A poll from Axios and Ipsos found 67% of respondents do not believe the COVID-19 death toll, which as of Monday stood at around 69,000, according to the Johns Hopkins University tracker, including data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Forty-four percent of respondents believe the figure is too high; 23% believe fewer people had died than has been reported.
Sixty-three percent of Democratic respondents said the death toll was being underreported. Republicans were more likely to believe the opposite, as 40% said they believed the death toll was overreported. Republicans had the largest segment that trusted the U.S. death toll with 36% reporting that the death toll was “about right,” compared to 31% of independents and 29% of Democrats.
