Poll: Majority of Americans disapprove of Trump's handling of coronavirus outbreak
By Justin Wise - 04/19/20 09:37 AM EDT

A majority of American voters disapprove of President Trump's handling of the coronavirus outbreak and believe he did not take the pandemic seriously enough at the beginning of the crisis, according to a new NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll.

The survey found that 52 percent of voters disapprove of Trump's response to the global outbreak, while 44 percent approve of it. The findings represent little change from a similar poll conducted in March, which found 51 percent of Americans opposed how he was handling the pandemic.

Meanwhile, 52 percent of respondents said they generally do not trust Trump's rhetoric about the virus, while just 36 percent said they do. This pales in comparison to Americans' trust of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert and a key member of the White House coronavirus task force.

excerpt:
The NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll was conducted between April 13 and April 15 among a sample of 900 registered voters. It has a margin of error of  3.3 percentage points.

The man has been working day and night for months on this issue (and other work, simultaneously), and millions of people at home are watching with great interest and see his commitment and the results.

Trump’s numbers aren’t tanking, the democrats’ and partisan media are. They’re losing any respect from those folks watching at home by their attempts to misinform about life saving treatments (Hydroxychloroquine) and by dragging their feet in congress on small business relief.

I saw a snippet of NBC this morning....they were basically rabid talking to V.P. Pence.  It was disgusting....

Exactly

Of course the MSM has taken up the Dems meme that this is all Trump's fault...they will carry this falsehood until Nov.

I fully agree.  Can you imagine if the press had turned like this  on FDR in 1941.

Outside the obvious tragedy of dealing with this epidemic, the dimocrats have become the ultimate poliical opportunist.  The narrative has been set, and it might take a miracle for Trump to win now.

Well we all know how Lincoln dealt with a press like this and it wasn't pretty.

A lot of those haters will be dead by Nov.  I wouldn't worry about it.

and on the serious side

The NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll was conducted between April 13 and April 15 among a sample of 900 registered voters.

200 days before the vote and still very few "likely-voter" polls?  I might as well consult my astrologer.

Were the voters in NYC?

I'm sorry @Smokin Joe , I don't understand the question.

[Smokin Joe]

I'm sorry @Smokin Joe , I don't understand the question.

Well, considering NYC and the surrounding counties (AKA: downstate NY) have a higher infection rate than any country, I thought the question of where the polled people were form would be germane.

The difference in being in NYC during this and being in central Montana might be the entire reason for an opinion either for or against the way this whole issue is being handled, and the amount of trust involved. That Fauci and the CDC is trusted more raises a flag with me.

@Smokin Joe thanx for clarifying.  The story doesn't say but I assume it is a nation wide poll.

I don't. You know what they say about assuming.

I'm not sure there is any point in us arguing who mistrusts this poll more.
