New Poll: Only 36% of Americans Trust Trump’s Rhetoric on Coronavirus

"SNIP.....

A large majority of Americans don’t trust the President on Coronavirus, a new poll shows. Donald Trump’s approval on the issue has declined slightly since March.

A new NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll released on Sunday reports that large majorities continue to disapprove of Trump’s handling of Coronavirus.

Only 36% of Americans trust the President’s rhetoric on the disease, while an overwhelming 52% do not. This is likely due to Trump’s habit of spreading disinformation about the virus.

Americans have much greater trust in the Centers for Disease Control. A full 69% trust what the CDC says, while 60% trust Dr. Anthony Fauci, who has been leading the response to the outbreak.

1. NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll

Trump will see this one because he pays attention to the WSJ--that left wing rag.

[Alacritous Crier]

2. 36%???!!! That's a sad commentary...

on the state of American education. It also exposes the effectiveness of 40 years of RW brainwashing.

[applegrove]

7. But reality broke through the 37%. I see a chink in his armour.

[CrispyQ]

10. This.

If it continues to drop, & I don't see how it won't things are so critical, some of the cult will drop off too. Oh they'll still be crazy, but they'll look for a new leader. And I'm sure there will be plenty of candidates.

3. How could anyone vote for someone who lies about something so serious

I wish they had included a Presidential selection as well in the poll now that the Democrats have a presumptive nominee.

4. Thus panic buying

And the reason opening up will be an even bigger economic disaster.

5. That figure probably coincides with the percentage

of the audience share from Fox News, the State TV channel. I suppose I should feel somewhat cheered to see the majority of people are more or sane and capable of recognizing Trumpian bullshit when they see it.

Still, it's disheartening to see over 1/3 of our country can be so easily swept up by laughable lies, the cartoonish propaganda and comic book conspiracy theories. Why are they so susceptible to believe this nonsense that makes everyone else hoot with laughter and ridicule Trump's bad Gong Show stage act?

[malaise]

6. Which is why some of us continue to say please proceed with the

shitshow

[ProfessorGAC]

8. Why The Missing 12%?

It's a binary question. One either trusts or doesn't trust. How can 12% not be sure if they trust or not?

[doc03]

9. That is still an unbelievable number! Maybe if

he would go down to 5th Avenue and start shooting people it would go below 30%.

[lagomorph777]

12. Now that he has killed EVERYBODY on 5th Avenue, how do the MAGAts love him?

He is finally doing what he could never do before. He's shrinking his base. By murdering them. I don't see what his angle is. Other than the paycheck from Putin, and the psychopathic glee of his homicidal rampage. Politically, his mass murder is going to sink him.

[doc03]

13. On our bike ride today saw a couple Keep

America great baners on houses!

[lagomorph777]

11. Two thirds distrust or are dubious they can trust President Turd with their lives.

This spells DOOM for the Turd administration.

[TheBlackAdder]

14. New Poll: 36% of Americans are moronic cult followers!

[Alex4Martinez]

15. That is a depressingly high number.

We are so stupid.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

17. Should be lower of course

but at least a pretty significant majority of people are NOT buying it.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

16. Good

As it should be
