From Daily Kos: National polling shows reality is starting to catch up with Trump's abysmal coronavirus response
By KERRY ELVED
Americans are beginning to see the real consequences of Donald Trump's complete and utter ineptitude in handling the novel coronavirus outbreak, and national polling is starting to reflect that reality.
A new CNN poll found that 55% of Americans believe the federal government has done a poor job of containing the spread of the epidemic, an eight-point increase from a week ago. Another 55% say Trump could be doing more to fight the outbreak (while 43% say he’s doing everything possible). A strong plurality of 37% of respondents also said their fears about coronavirus have spiked in the last several days, far more than the 5% saying their fears had lessened in recent days.
