A new NBC News/Survey Monkey poll finds Americans have significantly more confidence in their governors than in President Trump when it comes to handling the coronavirus.
Key findings: “Forty-three percent of respondents approve of Trump’s handling of the pandemic, while 55% disapprove. That’s compared to 60% of Americans who say they approve of how their governors are handling the response and just 37% who said they disapprove.”
