Trump’s Coronavirus Bounce Fizzles

“More voters say the Trump administration isn’t doing enough to combat the coronavirus outbreak, according to a new Politico/Morning Consult poll. The survey, conducted immediately before President Donald Trump announced a 30-day extension of his physical and social distancing guidelines ‘to slow the spread’ of Covid-19, shows 47% of voters feel the administration isn’t doing enough in response to the outbreak, greater than the 40% who feel the administration is doing the right amount.”

“Two weeks ago, 43% said the administration wasn’t doing enough in the days following the initial measures deployed to reduce the impacts of the virus, while 39% said it was doing the right amount. While the new poll was conducted before the extension of the household isolation recommendations, it comes as other polls suggest the positive marks Trump earned for his early response to the crisis are turning more negative.”
