TODAY: Fauci & Cuomo still the most trusted leaders in America on the coronavirus, while Trump and Jared Kushner are in last place

When it comes to who to trust on the coronavirus, Americans still rate Dr. Anthony Fauci and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo the highest, a new Insider poll showed.

Insider asked poll respondents to rate 10 top Trump administration officials and governors on trustworthiness.

We told respondents, "When it comes to the official advice regarding coronavirus, please rate how much you trust the following messengers on a scale on 1 to 5."

According to our poll, 1 means strongly distrust, 2 means somewhat distrust, 3 means neither trust nor distrust, 4 means somewhat trust, and 5 means strongly trust. Participants were asked to mark "NA" if they were unfamiliar with the person.

Fauci and Cuomo received the highest marks, while President Trump and his senior adviser and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, received the lowest.

Respondents gave Fauci an average score of 3.96 out of 5 for trustworthiness — up slightly from 3.84 last time in late March. Fully 44% of respondents rated him five out of five, and a further 24% gave him a 4 of 5.

Cuomo received an average score of 3.31 out of 5, also up slightly from the last poll. Just shy of half — 46% — gave Cuomo a 4 or 5 on communication.

Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin is no longer the lowest score last time, even though his rating of 2.51 out of 5 is down from March by a hair.

President Trump scored 2.48 out of 5 on average, also down very slightly from March, when he rated 2.56.

The poll's newest entry, White House senior adviser Jared Kushner, saw the lowest score at 2.35 out of 5.
