The public interest in the Epstein case has markedly declined, with Google searches for Epstein dropping by approximately 89% over the past three weeks. According to CNN analyst Harry Enten, the Epstein saga has become a "nothingburger" in the eyes of the American public, with less than 1% of Americans considering it the nation's top issue. Despite the media attention and political debate surrounding the case, President Donald Trump's approval rating remains steady and is notably higher than at the same point during his first presidency. However, a majority of Americans—71%—believe Trump had some knowledge of Epstein's crimes, with 44% asserting he knew "a lot." Only 8% think he knew nothing. Additionally, 47% of the public oppose the transfer of Ghislaine Maxwell to a less restrictive prison. Commentary on the handling of the Epstein case rollout has been critical, highlighting communication failures, particularly by Pam Bondi. Nonetheless, the controversy has not significantly impacted Trump's political standing as public focus has shifted away from the issue.
