A new poll by the Wall Street Journal and NBC News finds that approval of President Donald Trump remains unchanged since the start of the coronavirus outbreak, though only 48% have confidence in him to manage it.

The Journal reported Sunday morning:

The survey of 900 registered voters found little sign that a crisis with potential to define the 2020 election has altered the political standing of President Trump. Some 51% disapprove of how he is handling the virus outbreak, while 45% approve. That is nearly identical to his overall job-approval rating, which is essentially unchanged from last month and from much of his tenure as president.

Republicans and Democrats hold nearly inverse views on his emergency response, with 81% of GOP voters saying he has done well and 84% of Democrats saying the opposite. Among independents, 43% approve and 52% disapprove.

…

Fewer people in the survey said they had confidence in Mr. Trump to handle the crisis than they did in various levels of government. Less than half—48%—said they had a fair amount or great deal of confidence in the president. By comparison, 62% had confidence in the federal government, 72% in local government and 75% in their state government.

The outbreak has taken governments around the world by surprise, and even those that have responded aggressively have been forced to re-adjust over time.

On Saturday night, for example, Israel announced a ban on gatherings larger than ten people (ten is the minimum required for a prayer quorum in the Jewish faith). The Israeli government will also follow South Korea’s example in using private cellphone data to track those exposed to the virus.

Price is right: “Wah wah wa waaaahhhh”

Just think if PDJT had been on top of this back in 2018 or something instead of waiting until it actually occurred. The polls would be off the charts. :-)

Bomb damage assessment by the Monica Media.

[Luke21]

Screw the weasels. They are a fifth column of quislings.

[Yogafist]

Well that signals this will be over soon.

[Steely Tom]

Funny that they don’t publish approval numbers for the MSM.

This doesn't surprise me one bit.

I still do not know personally of a single person who voted for Trump in 2016 who will not vote for him again in 2020. Trump's support is pretty much unshakeable and the more that the rabid Left attack him and try to destroy his presidency, the more solid that support gets.

On the other hand, I realize that there are almost as many people on the other side, who will never vote for Trump no matter what. There are comparatively very few people in the middle who are not either 100% for Trump no matter what or 100% against Trump no matter what.

Frankly, I don't think they will decided the election as I believe Trump's re-election is already assured. However, they could be the difference between a Trump electoral landslide and another somewhat narrow electoral Trump victory. So Trump is wise to continue to win these winnable people over (many of them Hispanics and Blacks).

FWIW Registered voters always skews left. What is interesting is the fact that after all this it’s unchanged.

[RetiredArmy]

Yeah, the commieDims are talking like Trump flew to China, got a gallon of this stuff and brought it back here and poured it out on the ground to give it to America!! Stupid Aholes, who don’t know a Shi’ite from a Sunni, believes Trump is responsible for everything, except the improving economy. They have a complaint about everything, absolutely everything.

[CatOwner]

Not sure why it would. We don’t (yet) have large-scale deaths related to COVID-19, so his supporters will remain unchanged, and there is *nothing* that would change the minds of those who despise him.

[basalt]

blacks in Detroit are convinced Trump did exactly that.....im dead serious....

[Steely Tom]

Well that signals this will be over soon.

Exactly! +1!

[Enlightened1]

If the media says it us unchanged, then that means it went up.

Remember these communists hate President Trump and this country and lie about everything.

[immadashell]

They are scratching their heads and saying, “Why don’t people understand it’s all Trump’s fault? We’ve wrecked the stock market to get at him. We’ve destroyed several industries. We’ve engineered a shortage of their most important commodity, toilet paper! There must be something more we can do! Let’s make abortion mandatory.!!!”

“Poll: Trump Approval Unchanged in Coronavirus Outbreak”

Curses! Foiled again!

Time to release the Kraken. OK, another Kraken.

[going hot]

Media and dems in continual saddened mode. What’s not to love?

[Steely Tom]

Yes, more abortion will surely help solve this problem.

[RetiredArmy]

Yeah. They have their marching orders from their masters of the dimocommie party. No complains, no extra handouts. Then again you have to remember they ARE in Detroit, slum-bucket of the USA.

[Conserv]

Despite the media’s best efforts, Americans are rallying around the President.

The media will continue to take the most ridiculous, outlandish shots at the President, and we will continue to rally around him.

Trump is one of us... and we know it.
