Few Americans trust President Donald Trump when it comes to the coronavirus pandemic, according to a new survey, and less than half of respondents believe the federal government is taking sufficient steps to combat the public health crisis.
An NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll released Tuesday shows that only 37 percent of those polled have either a good amount or a great deal of trust in the information they hear from the president about the coronavirus, while 60 percent say they do not very much or not at all trust Trumps words on the subject.
The presidents trust ratings regarding the coronavirus rank lower among those surveyed than other prominent sources of information, including the news media, state and local governments, and public health experts. More Americans than not disapprove of the way he is handling the pandemic, by a margin of 49-44 percent, and his overall job approval rating rests at 43 percent.
The polls results come after the White House spent weeks downplaying the coronavirus threat to the United States, even as public health officials within the administration sounded alarms over its risk to the country and warned of its rapid rates of transmission.
