Major Points: 

• 57% of the people who voted believe that the U.S. is able to stop this Ebola outbreak
• 32% of the people are afraid that the ebola will affect their lives
• Republicans were "prompted" to question if the Federal Government is able to take on such a dangerous virus without a mass spread.
• Half of the republicans surveyed said they had not much confidence in the governments ability to contain the virus.
• 69% of democrats were confident about containment

Connection to the guiding questions: 

• Honestly, it's hard to point out here which government branch has the most power or how it's power is shared in this article since it's simply about the opinions of the American people on the Ebola virus and the infected American people being sent back on U.S. soil.

General Opinion:

Why do we even have infected U.S. citizens being brought here in the first place? Can't we do what we are trying to do back in Africa in one of their hospitals, with maybe bringing some equipment that would be needed for this? Honestly, this news of people contracted with Ebola being on U.S. Soil really scares me, because I'm afraid of a large-scale outbreak from whatever the government is trying to do. The last thing I'd want to do is get off'd from a deadly virus that would've been more contained in the other country.

Questions:

• What stops doctors from treating Ebola-stricken patients in other hospitals besides ones in the U.S.?
• If equipment is needed, why can't we ship equipment outside of the U.S. to those treatment locations?
