Most voters give the federal government low ratings for its response to last month’s train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio.
That’s according to the latest Rasmussen Reports.
The survey found that only 30% of likely U.S. voters rated the government’s response to the Ohio train derailment as “good” or “excellent.”
Forty-six percent gave the government a “poor” rating for handling the disaster.
After the February 3 derailment of a Norfolk Southern freight train released the toxic chemical vinyl chloride, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said tests “showed no water quality concerns” in East Palestine.
However, only 23% of voters say that they would feel safe drinking the water if they lived near the site where the train derailed, including just nine percent (9%) who would feel “very safe” drinking the water there.
Seventy-one percent (71%) would not feel safe drinking the water near East Palestine, including 47% who said they’d feel “not at all safe.”
