Americans continue to say they trust medical professionals for virus information, but Republicans also rank President Trump about as highly among their trusted sources, even as others give him his lowest marks to date for handling the outbreak.
And Dr. Anthony Fauci is trusted by most and viewed favorably by a three-to-one margin, but he now draws split opinions among Republicans, driven by increasingly negative views from conservatives.

Views of President Trump's handling of the outbreak continue to drop from March and are now the lowest he has received. Today, 43% say he's doing a good job, 5 points lower than three weeks ago and 10 points lower than in March.

(12,712 posts)When do we get to the more applicable terms like, terrible job, horrible job, deplorable job, no job?
Edited to add: Trumps efforts have actually be COUNTERPRODUCTIVE to handling the crisis. His lack of action early on would be better handled later if he did nothing rather than misinform and mislead people day after day. He and his Corona Gang have been in the way and exploited the situation and nothing more.
