Approval of Trump's handling of coronavirus hits new low
By Justin Wise - 07/26/20 01:38 PM EDT

Support for President Trump's handling of the coronavirus pandemic reached a new low on Sunday as various parts of the country continue to experience a surge in infections, according to a new poll.

The survey, conducted by Associated Press and the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, found that just 32 percent of Americans say they they support the president's response to the coronavirus outbreak, marking a 12-point decline from an identical survey released in March.

The president's marks on the economy, long a strength, also have showed a gradual decline since March. Forty-eight percent of respondents said they approved of his handling of the economy amid the pandemic, down from 56 percent in March.

This Pandemic has rendered "leadership" so impotent that
one might believe that such an event is a first time ever.
Obviously not, so lets look at a historical record:
                                  End      Duration    Deaths     
Pandemic                   (year)    (years)    (millions)
-----------                   ------      --------    ---------
* Justinian Plague         545          3            50
* Black Death              1350         4           200
* Small Pox Epidemic   1520          1            56
* Third Plague             1850          1            12
* Spanish Influenza     1920          2            50
* Aids/Hiv                   1985        20            35
* Ebola                       2015          2            12
* Covid                        Now       Now           600K

In simplest terms, Nature has treated Man far more harshly thru history.
Unfortunately we now have political jackasses in charge and the results are obvious.

Polls!

A timeline w/details to follow.

You want it?  ALL LIES , ALL THE TIME,  BY MEDIA.   This is how they destroy people's lives.  PURE EVIL.

Don't listen to the polls.  That is the path to madness.  Remember, the polls said, on election day 2016, that Hillary had a 90% chance of winning.  We saw how that turned out.

Interesting ... this is one issue that I really think Trump is doing very well on; he acted quickly and decisively.

Most people do.  This is how you can know the leftist media is driving a wedge between Republicans with their fake public opinion polls.  It's their tell.

Approval ratings, especially on individual issues, are only good for providing grist to talking heads and political consultants.

...and depress conservative turnout on election day.

Really... how much could Mr. Trump (or any president for that matter) actually DO about an epidemic?

The actions he did take -- notably, barring entry to Chinese and Europeans -- brought caterwauls from the left. But that was actually doing something (that a president could do) that addressed the problem of new infections coming into the country.

Mr. Trump also responded well by stepping aside and letting the state governors do their jobs for their respective states.

If he had responded otherwise by issuing one federal diktat after another, he would have been attacked as a "dictator" (which is what he's called anyway by the left).

The results of the poll do not reflect problems with Mr. Trump, but rather with the electorate itself...

And only recently  Rass M had Trump & Biden tied with Trump moving better with blacks

This is absolute BS.  I don't know a single person who blames Trump for all this.  In my state, we're trying to recall the governor because of his tyrannical dictates!  Other states are doing the same.  The people clearly blame the state leadership and are moving on Congress to stand up, stand tall on this or face our wrath. 

Wth are they?  They are clearly hiding, hedging bets on who they will support.  That tells me everything about where they stand.  If you don't stand up for this President, then don't expect us to go quietly into that bastardized night. #DeathToTheDeepState

Btw, the small g is my way of showing disrespect for those currently holding office.

Hold it!
How dare you!
(Be informed, that is.)

You are supposed to be in an absolute panic that would have you dash hither and thither at the first hint of danger!
 
You are not supposed to consider facts, you are supposed to listen to your "betters" all over the teevee and be vewy vewy afwaid...
 
Now, get with the program!
