Swing state voters give Trump dismal marks as coronavirus cases spike

Voters in six key 2020 election states have little good to say about how President Donald Trump is handling the coronavirus as the pandemic tears through the United States, according to a new CNBC/Change Research poll.

As cases spike in pockets of the U.S. South and West after states reopened their economies, likely voters in Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin believe Trump shoulders much of the blame, the survey released Wednesday found.

When asked to select two people or groups most responsible for the recent increase in hospitalizations, 35% said the president — the largest share among the answers. Trump was followed by "people not wearing masks" at 34%, "states reopening their economies too soon" at 32% and "people not social distancing" at 29%.





The survey found only 43% of voters agree that Trump is setting a good example and providing accurate information about proper Covid-19 precautions. Another 57% disagree. Trump has drawn backlash for not wearing a face covering in public, a practice his administration says can help to slow infections.

43% is way too many.

They have been saturated for decades with RW propaganda. A good example would be Obama’s 8 years which we saw consistent growth coming out of the Bush crash and steady competence. During those years you would be hard pressed to find anything positive about Obama in the RW media. It was all negative so that their viewers/listeners believed Obama was destroying the country. They were made to be angry and afraid 24/7/365. They do not listen to facts that do not fit their views. The word on that now is “fake news.”

Until we make changes and require truth in news we are screwed. Fox won an appeal on a judgement against them in Florida with the court of appeals saying it was ok for Fox to lie because they were not news, they were entertainment. This is a root cause of many of our problems and allow Republicans to hold on to their offices when they are becoming a minority in this country.
