More than half of Americans say Trump has done poor job on coronavirus spread: Poll
More than half of US citizens believe that the government of President Donald Trump has done a poor job on preventing the spread of covid-19, a poll shows.
According to the CNN poll released on Wednesday, 55 percent of participants maintain that Trump has not done a good job on containing covid-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.
This comes as 41 percent of respondents think he has done a "good job" to cut the disease's transmission. Four percent said they had no opinion.
The poll surveyed 1,002 people between April 3 and 6. The margin of error was 3.7 percentage points.
The survey also indicated a growing dissatisfaction regarding the government's function when compared to the previous poll conducted last month. In that poll, the number of those who believed that the federal government was doing a "good job" was more than those who said it was doing a "poor job," by a margin of 48-47 percent.
‘Obama would handle coronavirus better than Trump’
Meanwhile, another poll carried out by Politico-Morning Consult shows a majority of voters think that former President Barack Obama would do a better job at handling the virus than Trump.
In the new poll, 52 percent of the survey’s 1,990 respondents said they believe that Obama would have been a better leader than Trump during the ongoing pandemic, compared to the 38 percent who said they thought Trump is the better leader.
So far, the coronavirus has affected1,447,904 worldwide and killed 83,412. In the United States, more than 400,000 people have tested positive and 12,857 have died.
