Trump's Polling Bump Was Easy Come, Easy Go | RealClearPolitics
The peak in the president’s approval, from about two weeks ago, resulted from what pollsters call a “rally around the flag” effect most presidents have experienced in times of grave crisis, from war to natural disasters. Yet Trump’s was smaller and has dissipated more rapidly in comparison to his predecessors.

The Navigators daily tracking poll out Saturday showed Trump voters are disappointed in his response, with 40% of them saying he didn’t take the threat seriously enough at first, a number that rose 17 percentage points in less than two weeks. The survey found 66% of independents, as well as 66% of Americans overall, also said he hadn’t responded to the threat early enough, and those numbers had increased by 10 points in a week.

I think his daily appearances, with Biden being kind of irrelevant, is going to have an effect. Even if he's made bad decisions and Biden would have done better.
Obama-Biden forgot to replenish our stockpile of Hospital masks. Look, there is plenty of blame to go around. Why are we blaming one guy? Biden lied about Trump cutting the CDC. Trump only proposed cuts but congress didnt approve them although Joe Biden claimed Trump did make cuts which is a lie. The most obvious criticism is not just about the lie but the hypocrisy involved as well. Obama-Biden did the same thing. Yes the Obama administration also proposed cuts to CDC funding as well, on multiple occasions. That looks like hypocrisy and a lie to me.

I've been experimenting with making hand sanitizer at home but it keeps turning out as gin and tonic.

The tonic contains quinine; Trump has been vigorously promoting a derivative of quinine as a COVID-19 cure, or at least a possible one. No ads for colloidal silver yet.

RealClearPolitics - Election Other - President Trump Job Approval

Americans are unhappy with President Donald Trump's handling of the U.S. economy during the coronavirus outbreak, according to a poll released Wednesday by CNN and research firm SSRS.

With most states placed under stay-at-home orders by their governors in an effort to curb the spread of coronavirus, many non-essential businesses have been closed, throwing millions of individuals out of work.

Trump holds a 48 percent approval rate on how he is dealing with the U.S. economy among those polled. When the same question was asked in March, 54 percent of Americans approved of Trump's economic policies. That number represents the first time Trump's approval rating in that area has gone below 50 percent since September 2019.

While 39 percent of those surveyed classified economic conditions in the U.S. as "good," 60 percent said they were "poor" with 32 percent calling them "very poor."
Trump's approval rating on economy dips to lowest since September amid coronavirus pandemic

More of a concern for Trump, he's falling further behind Biden, and now trails Biden in Wisconsin and Florida where he had previously been ahead.

So did Trump.

Why is Trump?
Biden lied about Trump cutting the CDC.
Trump lied about Obama,
Trump only proposed cuts but congress didnt approve them although Joe Biden claimed Trump did make cuts which is a lie.
Do you think that absolves Trump?
The most obvious criticism is not just about the lie but the hypocrisy involved as well. Obama-Biden did the same thing. Yes the Obama administration also proposed cuts to CDC funding as well, on multiple occasions. That looks like hypocrisy and a lie to me.
Well, we agree that politicians are hypocrites.

With Trump dropping in the polls, his advisers are telling him to cut back on attending those daily briefings - apparently the American public are no longer reassured when the President states that he has the situation under control!

I've noticed that MSNBC has been cutting away from the White House daily briefings every time Dr Trump starts to practice medicine without a licence by recommending that the American public start taking "hydroxychloroquine!"

Yes, that's very weird. And he's wrong about it being harmless. It can cause some serious problems. I wonder if Trump has money in a company that peddles the drug.
