The majority of Americans now approve of President Trump's handling of the coronavirus pandemic, a change from just one week prior, according to a new Ipsos/ABC News poll.
Of those surveyed, 55 percent said that they approved of the president's handling of the situation, while 43 percent said they disapproved. The numbers were basically reversed from one week ago when 54 percent said they disapproved and 43 percent approved.
Trump's tone and approach to the outbreak has changed in recent weeks, with the president now appearing at daily briefings at the White House with his coronavirus task force. Trump said this week that he knew that COVID-19 was a pandemic before it was labeled as such by the World Health Organization, despite his previous rhetoric downplaying the severity of the virus.
The president has passed two coronavirus stimulus packages that include paid sick leave for certain workers and free coronavirus testing.
Despite the improvement in the approval rating, the public remains strongly partisan.
Nearly 70 percent of Democrats still disapprove of how Trump is dealing with the pandemic, while 92 percent of Republicans approve of how he's handled the crisis.

And the dems are blowing this attempt at taking down Trump.
They just can’t win.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!
Of course. Tell them they get $1,000 and they’ll love anything that you do.
But what about the liberal and media outrage, that Trump calls it a Chinese virus? There’s no way for people to approve of Trump, if they consider his description to be a crime against humanity.
This will not stand. The Left will double efforts to bring down Trump.
Attention MSM Praetorian Guards, Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war!”
HOORAY Chief. Thank you, sir. love
Next “insurance policy”? Watch your back...and front...and sides...and overhead ...and underground. Chuck 666 ways to Sunday said so.
The issue at hand is leadership. The critics are bitching about stupid things, President Trump is definitely in the take charge mode.
BEST president ever! Trump/Pence 2020.
No wonder cbs and abc didn’t cover the President’s entire press briefing yesterday.
I knew there was a reason they cut out.
Bad news for the “We’ve got him now” crowd.
I was watching PDJT yesterday. Thank God we have someone in there that can remain cool and manage a crisis. Truly the most presidential president Ive ever seen.
Where are Democrats. Michael Bloomberg & Tom Steyer, the two billionaires that “pissed” away 2-4 Billion dollars running as deadbeat losers for POTUS? Why are they not contributing big bucks to aid the American people and their country in its time of major crisis.
The reason why you hear nothing but silence is because these low life, scum & vermin characters, care only about one thing....themselves!!! Wake up America, Democrat Progressives are not your friends, nor, your allies either!!! All they seek is to gain 100% of power over you and your lives!!!
He needs to keep it up
It needs to be pointed out often that The Kenyan allowed over 1,000 Americans to die of Swine Flu before he declared any type of emergency, and our Fake News covered for him!
while 43 percent said they disapproved”
There’s that number again. There is nothing any Republican president can do to beat that number. One of the few things Romney got right is when he said 43% will never vote for him no matter what.
The DNC troll farms are paying overtime to trash this poll.
An ABC poll at that. Hahahahaha
I keep trying to imagine what Idiot Joe Biden's response would have been - IF he were able to even comprehend the situation.
The President had the choice to get out in front of the media and DNC created hysteria that was meant to turn this into his “Katrina” or try to handle it in a rational way. He dabbled with a rational response, but the political risks were too great, so he got out in front of it to help steer the country in a way that will ultimately have some positive effects on the economy and how we deal with China.
The hype about the virus is mostly nonsense meant to take President Trump down, but he has beaten them at their own game. The 2017-18 flu season was far more deadly and much more of a threat to the population but the Democrats and media were too focussed on trying to undermine and get rid of President Trump to even notice.
