According to ABC News, a new Ipsos poll released Friday shows that more Americans approve of Trump’s handling of the coronavirus outbreak than not despite a high number of people saying their lives have been upended. This is a massive jump from what it was last week:
In the new poll, 55% of Americans approve of the president’s management of the crisis, compared to 43% who disapprove. Trump’s approval on this issue is up from last week, when the numbers were nearly reversed. Only 43% approved of Trump’s handling of the pandemic and 54% disapproved in last week’s poll.
Over the course of a week, the president has shifted his approach and tone, giving daily briefings on the crisis since Saturday, alongside the White House task force leading the response to the coronavirus and announcing some severe measures to combat the virus. He’s also taken on a more somber tone, saying of his own tenor “people actually liked it” as the reality of the scale of the virus set in.
This week, 72% said their lives have been disrupted in some way by the coronavirus, either by canceling going out to dinner, taking a vacation, or attending religious services, among other options, a massive 46-point leap from last week when only about one-quarter of Americans said the same.
The approval is also split down party lines, though it should be noted that even approval numbers among Democrats has doubled since last week and now sits at 30 percent. Sixty-nine disapprove but that’s down from 86 percent. Republicans overwhelmingly approve of the job Trump is doing at a whopping 92 percent.

Now what do the Dems do?!
Wow... fantastic!
His executive leadership in this crisis is truly amazing to watch. He is an excellent CEO.
The man must be running on zero sleep, too. How in the world can you even fall asleep when you are faced with a crisis of this magnitude?
Can you imagine a crisis like this with Obozo at the helm?
Dems gonna say “Damn and we were hoping this overreaction would destroy Trump, damn now we gotta come up with a new plan”
Turn the Nile to blood?
Time to impeach again.
I believe the future of America depends upon Trump’s being supported in the polls and his re-election. If the leftist media and Dem/Socialists win because he is blamed for the economy by a—holes, then we are finished.
[[Now what do the Dems do?!]]
Call him racist of course
He appears PRESIDENTIAL
He appears COMPETENT
He is working in a bi-partisan way to solve this with people who have been spewing venom towards him for 3 1/2 years
He is smacking-down fake news media
People are noticing
The worse things get, the more we need Trump.
Seppuku, I hope.
They’ll say Trump isn’t doing enough before they say he’s over-reacting.
If we’re in a Depression come this fall, don’t expect those numbers to hold
Can you imagine a crisis like this with O’Biden at the helm?
I’d rather have Cornpop. I hope and pray Americans will see this.
Note to Deep State/the ruling class: You might have stood a chance if things had stayed great.
Thank God you’re thick.
