According to ABC News, a new Ipsos poll released Friday shows that more Americans approve of Trumps 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 presidents management of the crisis, compared to 43% who disapprove. Trumps approval on this issue is up from last week, when the numbers were nearly reversed. Only 43% approved of Trumps handling of the pandemic and 54% disapproved in last weeks 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. Hes 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 thats down from 86 percent. Republicans overwhelmingly approve of the job Trump is doing at a whopping 92 percent.

BTTT
Note to Deep State/the ruling class: You might have stood a chance if things had stayed great
I dont care what the polls say right now, if our economy is shut down much longer and it leads to depression, Trump is probably a goner in November
Trumps own guy said we could have 20 percent unemployment in the worst scenario. Thats 1930s levels
Trump is competent. That is why he became rich. Can you imagine an incompetent president who would use this crisis to try become rich? Close your eyes and imagine a President Joe Biden at the helm right now. Yikes!
2% are in a drug induced coma....................
I am waiting to see how long it will be before the media narrative is to blame Trump for creating a fake virus pandemic to allow him to become a dictator. Everyone knows that this crisis is fueled by social media. Very soon they will start asking about the Russian bots and how Trump was colluding with the Russians to create a national hysteria. As soon as they see it helping Trump it will turn so quickly you wont know it had ever shut down the whole country.
This answer just vaulted you into the lead!!!
Plus this nightmare is proving that he was ABSOLUTELY RIGHT on trade and borders.
And just like that, the pandemic was over
LOL! That’s so funny because it is so true!
Adding the authoritarian votes to the MSGAs, I see.
If God is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:15)
Well if his numbers keep going up, we can expect the media to put an end to this crisis very soon.
That didn’t happen in 1936. FDR made things worse but looked good doing it and was reelected
