Nearly half of Americans believe the US would be faring better in the coronavirus pandemic if Barack Obama were president instead of Donald Trump, according to a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll.
The survey found that a wide plurality of adults (47 percent) think the hard-hit U.S. — where more than 1.2 million COVID-19 infections have been reported and more than 73,000 people have died — would be in better shape under Obama than under Trump.
Only 24 percent of Americans say the crisis would be the same; only 29 percent say it would be worse. And though partisans are predictably split — 79 percent of Democrats say Obama would have made things better while 67 percent of Republicans say he would have made things worse — a plurality of independents (45 percent) side with the Democrats.
The unfavorable comparison between the current president and his Democratic predecessor is one of the clearest signs to date of an emerging dynamic that will define the remainder of Trump’s term and the presidential election.
Americans don’t just disapprove of aspects of Trump’s coronavirus response. Instead, they increasingly blame the size and severity of the U.S. outbreak on Trump himself.
As a result, disapproval of the way Trump has handled the pandemic rose to a new high of 53 percent in the poll. A majority of Americans now say Trump deserves most (35 percent) or some (19 percent) of the blame for the deadly pathogen’s spread in the U.S. — and nearly two-thirds say Trump could have “reduced the damage done by COVID-19” a lot (43 percent) or somewhat (21 percent) “if he had he acted sooner.”

Sure they do. LOLLLLL.
Obama never led a thing in his life, because he is not a leader. He even thought it was cool that he “led” from behind.
And how many people would answer this if they were aware that Obama is who depleted our supply of PPE and did not replenish it, leaving us as sitting ducks? Trump had to deal with yet another mess left for us by Obama - and it was remarkable how well he ended up doing starting with nothing.
Today a poll came out where Obama beat Carter for the title
Worst President ever.
Now he could beat the best president ever.
I call it BS
He’d be golfing in Hawaii.
There wouldn’t be a “coronavirus pandemic” if Obama or any other Democrat were president. Period.
Polls ain’t News!!!
Nearly half are nuts.
I went shopping today in our small western Washington town with stops at Ace Hardware, Walmart, Safeway, and a local nursery - all busy. Spoke to six different people while waiting in line, all strangers and all pro Trump.
BOL!
The only time, we see something from AOL or Yahoo, is a scam trying to con us into buying gift cards via someone’s never used email acct. from AOL or Yahoo.
AOL?? More like A-Hole
To quote brain damaged Joe Biden, “Come on man” it’s Yahoo and AOL, they are all BRAIN DAMAGED OVER THERE.
one thing for sure - the media would certainly be telling America Obama is doing better.
So 53% know reality vs. 47% that don’t. I’d call that a win.
You are absolutely right; OBUNGHOLE and all the Democrats would have just ignored it, as would the enemedia.
Most Americans or Most Yahoo’s?
And you were doing so well — right up until you called Donald Trump “the best president ever.”
Washington
Lincoln
Reagan
To stop the return of manufacturing of products back to the US that went to China. China backers here who’s family members are making millions from China through their political connections will be hit hard are also claiming that Trump’s alleged stock ownership in a quinine pills maker claim its a controlling interest in a product to be totally ineffective and when used requires a severe restriction of movement when near a possible carrier known as a shutdown because of its rapid transmission .
Every time an American looked at an item for where it was made in it came from China. Now China’s reliance making everything was being threatened by a change in leadership in America which was a major consumer of those products. When Americans hailed their leaders decision to make many of them in their country US. Their politburo worried.
Worse yet opponents to the Chinese regime in power had its citizens protesting its policies , as in Hong Kong, since that change in American leadership wave the American flag and present his name when doing so. All of which presented those in power the need to destroy that leader Donald Trump.
Would a runaway plague created by a nation which could threaten populations of an enemy cause them to react by demanding extreme restriction of movement by its population to prevent its spread ? Thus wind up fragmenting its economy and create defeat for that leader’s upcoming election.
The way this whole thing developed starting with the Italian fashion industry areas controlled by the Chinese commies hit by a runaway CCWV (Chinese Communist Wuhan Virus) breakout occurred in Wuhan the politburo closed off Wuhan but did not warn the Italian Socialist government or the Pope with whom the Chinese government had good relations with.
But certainly violated that understanding when the socialists should have been informed and allowed to deny those Chinese workers who replaced Italians in those factories taken over by the Chinese travel to and from China particularly for their New Year while this was occurring.
Where they seem to have done almost the same here with Smithfield Pork processing after the Chinese were hit with swine flu which destroyed their pork industry by their takeover of Smithfield Pork processing. When learning of the Wuhan shutdown Trump cut off China air travel with the exception of only allowing American citizens returning..But was immediately attacked by CNN and the alphabet media outlets as a racist Republican action.
I don’t think Trump can do any better with the response. I also believe he can’t have done any better with the economy and he will continue to do his best to boost the economy. The problem is that the economy wasn’t actually in the best shape, particularly in regards to America’s monetary system. The dollar is going to quickly fall in value and he’s going to have to be straight about it when it happens.
Coincidently, almost half of all Americans are Democrats.
