Two-thirds of US adults disapprove of Trump's COVID-19 handling


Washington, Jul 11 (IANS): Two-thirds of American adults, or 67 per cent, said they disapprove of President Donald Trump's handling of the coronavirus, the highest level of dissatisfaction with his response to COVID-19 since the pandemic began, according to a poll released.

Only 33 per cent said that they approved of Trump's performance, the latest ABC-Ipsos poll found on Friday, Xinhua news agency reported.

Support from Trump's Republican base also went down, with approval of the president's pandemic performance going from 90 per cent to 78 per cent.

The president's approval among independents landed at 26 per cent in the survey, a sharp drop from 40 per cent in mid-June.

The poll was conducted July 8-9, surveying 711 adults with a margin of error of 4.1 percentage points.

The pandemic has killed more than 130,000 people and infected over 3.1 million in the country, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University.

    These are the ones who have migrated from their countries and now trying to change US into the countries they came from. They will not blame themselves, nor their religion, they will blame the host country.

    Forget our belief, do you really think American citizens are proud of this #1 position in this epidemic and the way the president handled it?

    Initially he was in denial, calling the virus a hoax, scoffed at his scientific advisors, touted HCQ as a cure..No social distancing and other precautions exercised at his election rallies, now he is threatening federal aid cut if schools don't reopen by September..

    When Demoncrats were prostesting and looting using their left wing radicals BLM and antifa no social distance issue right? May be cops in George Flyod case are democrat supporters as they did or brought witnesses during for Justice Kavanaugh confirmation.

    HCQ if they tell it is effective, then loss to Bill Gates / Democrat elites/ Big Pharma billions of dollar vaccination business right?

    Why no 1? they could count accident deaths other deaths as covid 19 right? also they could forcefully put covid patients on ventilators to pop up the count specially in Democrat controlled states right? Also check why chemtrails?

    Mainly to stop President Trump from getting re elected communist chinese / left leaning democrats / Elites using weapon grade virus, WHO / CDC and NIH, and are ready to do anything. Otherwise how communists can try to control Asia, US and The World?

    From Day one of Trump administration they are trying to remove him. if Hilary had come by this time few viruses must have come and gone also they would have reduced millions of population by viruses, wars, vaccination and what not! and by fooling the world.
