[Note: Harvard pollster conducting RCP opinion poll, the ongoing RCP poll for a long time. So take that into account.]

Unsurprisingly, at this point Covid-19, Economy and Health Care are the top three dominating issues amongst voters/people polled.

My executive summary (your're welcome) -

(1) "Economy" jumped to top 2 concerns comparing to the same poll conducted in Feb.

(2) People generally grade themselves well on following the gubmint guidelines, while giving less credit to president Trump than their own governor.

(3) A wide generation gap on what kind of people will take the biggest financial hit from the pandemic, and not necessarily by partisan divide.

Carl Cannon of RealClear Politics pointed out Independents give failing grades at this point to the president, (45% of Independents gave Trump either D or F grade), and that should worry the Trump re-election campaign.

Interestingly on what activities you most looking forward to when the lock down is lifted, most people want to be closer to the family unit and friends socializing. Less about eating out, traveling, or sports/entertainment activities.

The media does a good job carrying out the Dims agenda. That is their duty and they know it. No sarcasm, that’s the way it is.

I don't answer junk calls, and that's probably true for tens of millions of others.

I think President’s Trump’s response to CCP-19 has been outstanding.

Perfect? Nope. Everyone has made mistakes since this has happened. I’ve made mistakes. I’ve never dealt with anything like this before.

I am of the mind to forgive anyone’s honest mistakes in this matter, and I mean anyone. But don’t let me find out anyone was lying on purpose, because that will not be forgiven.

My anti-Trump chick has come around on Trump based SOLELY on his handling of Coronavirus. She’s gonna vote for him in 2020.

Obama administration depleted stockpiles and never replenished them. We rate this claim TRUE because it is supported by our research. There is no indication that the Obama administration took significant steps to replenish the supply of N95 masks in the Strategic National Stockpile after it was depleted from repeated crises. Calls for action came from experts at the time concerned for the country’s ability to respond to future serious pandemics. Such recommendations were, for whatever reason, not heeded. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/04/03/fact-check-did-obama-administration-deplete-n-95-mask-stockpile/5114319002/ ALSO 1 person died when Trump stopped flights from China-the left called him xenophobic. In the end of Feb Pelosi told her people that they should go to Chinatown. Cuomo told New Yorkers to use the subways even in Feb. Cuomo also had a stockpile of ventilators and sold them. THEN he demands more immediately and before anyone else. New York City auctioned off extra ventilators due to cost of maintenance: reporthttps://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/491651-new-york-city-auctioned-off-extra-ventilators-due-to-cost-of-maintenance

I give him an F as well, because he turned all the decision making to those deep state sewer dwellers Fauci, and Birx. Declared a national emergency that gave downstream power hungry dictator wannabes cover to kill the economy. Then blindly signed off on relief bills with perverse incentives like $39K per “covid death” to states, and paid people the annualized rate of $52K for unemployment. He has crushed my daughter’s generation under an unimaginable debt burden. So F.

I will still vote for him over the alternatives, but to say I am disappointed is quite an understatement.

I wonder if the Trump campaign has seen something like that in their private polling.

This morning, I saw a really dynamic ad by the Trump campaign about the Coronavirus situation. It was quite good.

Goes to show that continual, unrelenting propaganda works. We may hate the liberal media, but they are effective and almost always win the battle of the narrative.

so much of what they want to blame Trump for was not solely up to Trump and or they would have blamed him if he chose to just take full charge and mandate any other approach.

The media will almost never side with Trump and many sheeple will bleet along.

Yep, I’m pretty sure I’d like to have Joe Biden handling this. With Schumer and Pelosi as his backup team, this country would devolve into the Fourth Reich in no time at all.
