GOP Pollster Sounds Alarms on Coronavirus Messaging

GOP pollster Neil Newhouse circulated a presentation among Republican lawmakers sounding the alarms on President Trump’s messaging on the coronavirus, NBC News reports.

From the presentation: “Republicans’ failure to recognize the seriousness of this pandemic is putting themselves and their loved ones in danger. Denial is not likely to be a successful strategy for survival over the next months.”

Some of Newhouse’s key findings: “Americans believe Republicans are less concerned than other Americans about the spread of coronavirus, fewer Republicans have changed their behaviors to protect against contracting the virus and a majority of Republicans believe the threat of coronavirus is being blow out of proportion.”
