The poll, published Friday by the London-based Opinium, shows an average of 61 percent of American adults approved of their state's handling of the pandemic, while only 47 percent of those polled approved of the federal government's response.
The survey was conducted online between April 9 and 15, after most states had issued stay-at-home orders.
According to data compiled Friday by Johns Hopkins University, those five states alone account for more than 480,000 cases, more than half of the total number confirmed nationwide.
