Broad disapproval for Trump's handling of Coronavirus, race relations: ABC NEWS/IPSOS POLL
ABC News ^ | 07/10/2020 | By Kendall Karson

President Donald Trump is facing broad disapproval for his management of the two major crises gripping the nation, with two-thirds of Americans giving him low marks for both his response to the coronavirus pandemic and his handling of race relations, according to a new ABC News/Ipsos poll released Friday.

Evaluation of Trump's oversight of the COVID-19 crisis reached a new low since ABC News/Ipsos began surveying on the coronavirus in March, with 67% disapproving of his efforts. One-third of the country approves of the president's oversight of the pandemic.

Over nearly four months of polling, Trump's approval has mostly held steady, except for one week in mid-March, when it spiked above 50%. In the last month, Trump's approval dipped to a range between the high 30s and low 40s, as the U.S. saw a resurgence of coronavirus cases, particularly across the south and west.

In the newest poll, which was conducted by Ipsos in partnership with ABC News using Ipsos’ Knowledge Panel, Trump's approval rating on his job dealing with the coronavirus dropped another rung, driven by plunging support among independents and even waning support among Republicans. Democrats have always been highly skeptical.

Trump's approval among independents lands at 26% in the survey, a sharp drop from 40% in mid-June, the last time the question was asked. Trump's disapproval among independents has risen to 73%, up from 59% in the June poll.

Within his own party, Republicans are less inclined to back him in the newest poll, with only 78% approving of the president's handling of the coronavirus, compared to 90% in mid-June. His disapproval of 22% in the new poll is a more than two-fold increase from last month.

59% of WORKING adults plain and simple do not think the economy is opening too quickly.

No way. No how. If you earn a paycheck and pay bills, you know better.

The real meaning of the poll is to show how effective fake news is.

The quality of a representative government will rarely exceed the quality of the press.

I’m upset with him over how he handled it when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.

I don’t know. Voters’ memories are short. Trump’s entire strategy for reelection is to keep the economy improving steadily through October even if it’s nowhere near all the way back to where it was in February by Election Day. It’s trends that voters look to, not absolute performance. If COVID burns out in the south and California by September and remains burned out in the northeast after the mass bloodletting there this past spring, Trump could point to those trends and say, “We’ve beaten it. The worst is behind us and the vaccine is coming soon."

But for that to happen, scientists would need to be wildly mistaken about the likelihood of a second wave this fall. They seem confident that we’ll see one.

sure in a tightly CONTROLLED limited audience the Gaslighting LIES look oh so promising. May the Silent Majority roll across this country like a tsunami to stamp out this mental illness of the Left. People need to stand up like never before.

You’re right, or I could also say, you’re NOT WRONG.

The issue is not whether or not you are right ( you are ), the issue is DO VOTERS PERCEIVE IT THAT WAY?

What else,exactly, did they expect him to do?
His only mistake ,as far as I’m concerned , was relying on that fraud Fauci.

BS.

Oh it may be disappointing because he isn’t ordering the military to arrest Pelosi and Obama and Bob Iger who are running this insurrection.

Every single number in the ABC push poll is the exact opposite of this poll:
