Politicians Poll Poorly on the Pandemic

“Public unhappiness with the pandemic response is nearly universal and is taking a toll on approval ratings of every state’s governor as well as the president,” Axios reports.

“It’s a startling fall from grace for governors compared to early in the pandemic, when 38 of them registered approval ratings higher than 60%.”

“Republican voter approval is at an all-time low, at 44% for Republican governors and 19% for Democratic governors. Florida’s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis is a notable exception at 64%, and has maintained steady GOP support throughout the pandemic.”
