Polls: Majority of Americans Approve of President Trump’s Handling of Chinese Coronavirus Crisis

Three polls released this week show a majority of Americans approve of President Trump’s handling of the Chinese coronavirus #COVID-19 pandemic that originated in the Hubei province city of Wuhan last November. The virus has infected people around the globe with a virulence that has prompted an unprecedented worldwide response.

An ABC News/Ipsos poll released Friday shows Trump with a 55 percent approval, reported ABC News:
“A new ABC News/Ipsos poll out Friday morning found 55% approval of Trump’s handling of the novel coronavirus crisis, with 43% disapproval. Exactly a week ago, the same poll found a 43-54 approval-disapproval — a near-mirror-image reversal.”
The Harris Poll released Thursday shows a 53 percent approval for Trump’s handling the virus, an increase from 49 percent from last week’s Harris poll.
A Survey USA poll released Thursday has Trump with 51 percent approval for his handling of the virus.
Americans nationwide today give President Donald Trump a Plus 11 Net Virus Grade, according to SurveyUSA’s latest time-series tracking poll conducted 03/18/20 and 03/19/20. 51% of adults nationwide approve of the way Trump is responding to the virus, including 25% who “strongly approve.” 40% disapprove of Trump’s response, including 25% who “strongly disapprove.” In an identical SurveyUSA poll 1 week ago, Trump was Net Zero; 46% approved (including 22% who strongly approved); 46% disapproved (including 32% who “strongly disapproved”), a strong, 11-point week-on-week improvement.
