Half of Americans feel economic 'hit' of COVID-19 pandemic: Poll

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Half of all Americans have felt the economic impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic that has shut down much of the country, but a heavy majority want testing and remain wary of reopening restaurants, schools and sporting events, according to a National Public Radio/Marist University poll released Wednesday.

The survey found that twice as many Americans, 64%, approve the job done by their governors in dealing with the novel coronavirus than the job President Trump is doing, 32%.

A poll is a snapshot in time, but findings from Marist and other surveys indicate that President Trump is in serious political trouble six months out from the 2020 election.

The economic hurt was felt by just 18% when Marist polled a month ago. Now, 50 percent say they or household members have lost a job or found themselves with reduced work hours as a result of the pandemic. A total of 27 million Americans have applied for unemployment assistance in the past four weeks.

1. My business has taken a hit....

As far as in person Alterations go, but the Custom Made Period clothing and online orders have remained steady. My clients understand the crisis we are all in and are not in a hurry for their projects. They know I will get them done.

Other businesses are not so fortunate.

2. 18% to 50% jump in feeling economic 'hit' in just 1 month!!!

That is enormous.

That poll hit me far harder than any other poll I have seen.

[That poll reflects what many of us have suspected. When the crises hit comes home, it will make a real difference].
