Donald Trump has received his lowest marks yet for his handling of the coronavirus outbreak, with net approval of his leadership on combating the pandemic down 22 points, according to a new Morning Consult poll.
Of 1,984 registered voters surveyed between April 24 and 26, 51 percent said they did not approve of Trump's handling of the outbreak, compared with 43 percent who said they did approve.
As a result, the net approval for Trump's performance, which is determined by deducting the share of those who disapprove from the share who do approve, sat 8 percentage points "underwater," Morning Consult said in a breakdown of its findings.
The negative net approval rating represents a 22-point drop since March 17-20, when a Morning Consult poll found broader support for the president's handling of the coronavirus outbreak.

(13,620 posts)Okay, if they had been sitting around doing nothing for years, which was probably not the case. And they could be recalled quickly when needed, when did he make that move, and since they have been back on the job, what have they done?
