The briefings aren’t working: Trump’s approval rating takes a dip

Views of Trump’s coronavirus response are now breaking down along familiar lines of polarization.

In times of national crisis, the American people typically come together behind their president.

But not this one.

Throughout the first three years of his presidency, Trump’s approval rating has traded in a narrow band. But his failure to unite the country behind his leadership also reflects Americans’ judgment of his handling of the outbreak thus far: In poll after poll this week, increasing percentages say they think Trump is doing a bad job, and his administration hasn’t done enough to protect citizens from the effects of Covid-19.
