Support for President Donald Trump's handling of the c****av***s p******c has diminished over the past two weeks, according to a new survey, with a majority of Americans now disapproving of his response to the public health crisis.

An ABC News/Ipsos poll released Friday reports that 52 percent of respondents disapprove of his management of the deadly outbreak, while only 47 percent approve.

The president's latest rating in the survey shows Trump's support backsliding from the levels he achieved in mid-March, when more than half of Americans, 55 percent, approved of his response and 43 percent disapproved.

Since that previous iteration of the poll was published on March 20, the administration extended its social-distancing guidelines for another 30 days and worked to increase its testing capacity for the v***s.

"There will be death": President Trump told the country to brace for the "toughest week" ahead as the number of c****av***s cases surges.

But Trump also drew significant criticism for his initial reluctance to invoke the Defense Production Act to furnish much-needed medical equipment for states and was forced to abandon his proposal to reopen the economy by Easter, which contradicted the advice of public health experts.

At the same time, the administration has begun issuing more dire warnings regarding the severity of the outbreak, predicting that as many as 240,000 people could die even if Americans heed the federal government's guidance, and the number of confirmed cases of C****-** has soared beyond 245,000.

Friday's survey is the latest example of public polling to show support for the White House's c****av***s response dwindling after Trump initially received higher marks for his efforts to stem the disease's rapid spread.

A POLITICO/Morning Consult poll released Wednesday reported that 47 percent of v**ers feel the administration is not doing enough to fight the v***s, and 40 percent feel the administration is doing the right amount. Two weeks prior, 43 percent said the administration was not doing enough, and 39 percent said it was doing the right amount.

The ABC News/Ipsos poll was conducted April 1-2, surveying 559 adults. Its margin of sampling error is plus or minus 4.8 percentage points.

How ironic peter boy! You can't go wrong with politico...a raging liberal rag! Your liberal narrative always says two things: Trump is a r****t, and Conservatives are r****t! Its getting old! You left leaners have to recognize that your attempts at deflection and that is what it is, is futile; because you try so hard to change the direction of the flow of replies to your distorted and corrupt assertions. Your big problem is you and your handlers can't handle it! You only have a certain amount of propaganda to base your answers on but attacking the messenger and never getting close to the message is what you have been taught by your indoctrinators. Its a sad case of ignorance, and propaganda! When i***ts speak stupid people listen.

Don't waste your time responding to PeterS. His opinions are facts. He has no room for debate or change.

ABC hammers Trump everyday, conducts a statistically invalid sample, which no doubt over polled Democrats and then announce its preconceived findings.

Hey Pete, when are you ever going to learn?


Trump's Popularity Rises. Democrats Are Apoplectic.


On March 27, CNN reported this.
President Donald Trump's approval now averages higher than his approval rating has been at any point in CNN's polling during his presidency, as 47% approve and 48% disapprove rating of his handling of the presidency, according to CNN's Poll of Polls.
The Poll of Polls is an average of recent national phone polling conducted among adults or registered v**ers.
Trump's handling of the c****av***s outbreak averages higher approval, standing at 52%, while disapproval stands at 45%.
His average approval for handling the c****av***s outbreak is sharply improved from CNN's first measure of that rating earlier this month, when 41% said they approved and 48% disapproved.

Here are the results from Gallup.

But wait! There's more! Here is another poll.
An ABC News/Washington Post poll released on Friday reports that 51 percent of respondents view Trump’s management of the outbreak in the United States favorably, with 36 percent approving strongly and 15 percent approving somewhat.
Less than half of those surveyed, 45 percent, gave the president negative marks for his response efforts, with 36 percent disapproving strongly and 8 percent disapproving somewhat. Four percent had no opinion.

I honestly don't know what the democrats expect the president to do. He has been going on the advice of Doctor F***i and the others. They are the ones who have been telling him what to tell us to do as far as social distancing and so on. Yes, he has not shut down every state, however, don't the states governors have any responsibilities during this crisis? Does the president have to do everything and the governors are responsible for absolutely nothing at all? What is a governors job then? Is Trump responsible for every ventilator in every state? Is he responsible for every mask that is to be made, or are there other people in government that have the responsibility to make sure that these type of things are taken care of. Is the president responsible for picking up the phone and ordering every piece of protective gear that every man and women in the healthcare industry is in need of? Does that really fall under the presidents job description or are there other people that do that job that CNN & MSNBC should be criticizing instead of Trump.

What about the people on CNN & MSNBC that told us simple minded viewers that Trump was being a r****t and a xenophobe when he banned China from entering our country back on January 31 of this year. Where is the criticism of Nancy Pelosi when she told the people of San Francisco on February 25 to come out and celebrate with us and not to worry about the v***s, there is nothing to be concerned about. Where was the criticism of Bill DeBlasio for telling New Yorker's to go out to the movies and go be in public and enjoy the city of New York, don't worry about any v***s, its not gonna hurt anyone in New York. That was barely three weeks ago! I don't hear any criticism of Governor Cuomo calling for New Yorkers to not worry about any silly v***s, "New Yorker's are hardy people" he said and told people there was nothing to worry about. The media certainly isn't showing clips of themselves telling us simpletons how we shouldn't worry about what the fear mongers are telling us about this so called epidemic, which just a month ago many of them were down playing and calling no worse than the flu, but are now criticizing the president for not doing enough.

It must be awful easy to sit in a chair in front of a camera, day after day and call the President of the United States a dumb ass, but when you think about it, the president has not only the responsibility to keep us safe from the v***s, but he also has a responsibility to keep the economy going as well. I have not heard many reporters and pundits talking about this, just that Trump is not taking the v***s seriously enough. The president has to do a delicate balancing act between shutting down the country and re-opening it again in a timely fashion without doing it too quickly and risking starting another wave of infections, but he is absolutely correct when he says this country needs to get back to work again. Bad things are going to happen from this country being shut down, misery will follow this shutdown and it won't all be v***s related. Bad economies lead to bad other things, suicides, domestic abuse, poverty, disease, starvation, homelessness, so its not only a medical crisis we are in.

Donald Trump is being made out to be a fool by the media, but he is really a man of vision, and is and has been way ahead of the curve during this whole crisis right from the beginning, starting with the banning of all flights in and out of China on January 31, which he was roundly criticized for, then banning flights from Europe which he again was criticized for, only to be proven right for doing. He will again be proven right for looking ahead and preparing ahead of time to get the economy opened as soon as possible. Trump is a lot smarter than he is given credit for and when we come out the other side of this we will all be better off for having him as our president than we would have been than if Hillary had been leading our country during this crisis.

Great post. It's easy to sit back and criticize in hindsight but totally different in real time. I think our president is doing remarkably well considering the size of our nation and the scope of this p******c.

Remember when those people said Hillary was going to 47 states to 3 against Trump? You don’t, well let me remind you.

Trump has been going on the advice of kushner, the doctor is a thorn in his side,which trump would have fired weeks ago if the republicans I mean mitch and many others hadn't have told him no way.

son of witless

52 % disapprove of President Trump's handling of the C****-** v***s crisis. Are those the same 52 v**ers who made Hillary Clinton our 45th President ?
