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.

I never knew the President of the United States was responsible for the manufacturing of respiratory protection and medical supplies and I’ve always considered myself pretty well informed.

Now what do the Dems do?!

Get the MSM to snipe at him during press conferences, in the hopes that he screws up, makes a gaffe, or just melts down on them.

There isn’t going to be any Depression. The Depression was a banking system collapse, not a virus induced recession.

People will be returning to work and the economy will recover once this virus burns out.

She’s fast.

And we do actually feed her.

Depression? This economy is on hold, like a damn. The water is filling up behind it and it’s going to burst. When that happens, it’s going to blow every nay sayer out of the water. Consider getting a second on your house to buy in when this sickness burns out. China is THROUGH. All that stuff made over there won’t be anymore. Hopefully.

If we are to fall into a depression I would support him even more. I would not willingly turn over this government to anyone, especially to a democrat/socialist. What are we going to do in 4 years when it will have to go to someone else.

Xi Jiping was often mockingly compared to Winnie-The-Pooh because they looked similar.

You personally might support Trump even more strongly in a Depression, I’m not questioning that, or the same with other strong Trump backers. What Im saying is he stands a good chance of losing if we have a depression

Shocking! I nearly fell off my chair when Gov. Newsom of California was praising President Trump this week. Say what? Even Newsom is a fan now? Guess he realizes how bad things could get if Sanders or Biden were elected.
