New Poll: Only 36% of Americans Trust Trumps Rhetoric on Coronavirus

A large majority of Americans dont trust the President on Coronavirus, a new poll shows. Donald Trumps approval on the issue has declined slightly since March.
A new NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll released on Sunday reports that large majorities continue to disapprove of Trumps handling of Coronavirus.
Only 36% of Americans trust the Presidents rhetoric on the disease, while an overwhelming 52% do not. This is likely due to Trumps habit of spreading disinformation about the virus.
Americans have much greater trust in the Centers for Disease Control. A full 69% trust what the CDC says, while 60% trust Dr. Anthony Fauci, who has been leading the response to the outbreak.

Still, it's disheartening to see over 1/3 of our country can be so easily swept up by laughable lies, the cartoonish propaganda and comic book conspiracy theories. Why are they so susceptible to believe this nonsense that makes everyone else hoot with laughter and ridicule Trump's bad Gong Show stage act?

(65,248 posts)It's a binary question. One either trusts or doesn't trust. How can 12% not be sure if they trust or not?

(30,613 posts)He is finally doing what he could never do before. He's shrinking his base. By murdering them. I don't see what his angle is. Other than the paycheck from Putin, and the psychopathic glee of his homicidal rampage. Politically, his mass murder is going to sink him.
