This week’s White House Report Card finds President Trump in a stronger position as he leads his coronavirus task force to take tougher measures to slow the spread of infections and death.
John Zogby, our co-grader and pollster, said that after a bad period last week, the president this week took charge like a wartime president. He compared him to President Franklin Roosevelt, who led the United States out of the Great Depression with the New Deal and also through World War II.
“When FDR was elected president, he pledged a New Deal to the U.S., and he admitted that he was not exactly sure what he was going to do, but he realized that he had to 'try something.’ Trump has risen to that occasion too. He has gone from James Buchanan to FDR,†said Zogby in giving an A- for the week.
Conservative analyst Jed Babbin, grading a C+, wasn’t as positive about Trump, noting his struggle to get virus drugs approved and the stock market sell-off.
