More than half of Americans now say they believe Donald Trump is covering up aspects of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes, according to a February 13–16, 2026 Economist/YouGov poll. In that survey, 53% of respondents said they think Trump is trying to conceal information related to Epstein, while 29% said they do not. The same poll found that 50% believe Trump was involved in Epstein’s illicit activities, compared to 30% who believe he was not.
It is important to note that Trump has not been charged with any crime connected to Epstein and has denied wrongdoing. These numbers reflect public perception — not legal findings. However, perception can carry significant political weight, especially when trust in institutions is already strained.
Approval ratings regarding the handling of the Epstein investigation remain low, with only 24% approving of Trump’s approach and 57% disapproving. Following the passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act and the subsequent release of heavily redacted documents, criticism has grown over transparency and how the information has been managed. Even some former allies have publicly questioned the political handling of the situation.
Regardless of political affiliation, the broader takeaway is clear: public trust in government institutions appears to be declining, and the Epstein case continues to raise questions in the minds of many Americans.
What’s your view — does this reflect real concerns about transparency, or is it political polarization at work?
