Most Americans have either fairly or very high confidence that the federal government will prevent a major outbreak of Ebola. Still, 41% are not that confident, or not at all confident. When it comes to our own vulnerability though, we are less concerned. Just 11% are very worried that they or someone in their family will be exposed.
Just look at the pattern of the government in other endeavors....
The US government hasn't always had the best track record, but I do believe that one of the most important functions of any government is to protect its citizenry. So far, anyway, we haven't seen a major outbreak of Ebola.
