60% of Americans now say they don't have very much trust — or have no trust at all — in what President Trump says about COVID-19, a new poll finds.
The Coronavirus Crisis
"These numbers speak to the fact that there was not a unified message coming out of Washington or even from the White House," said Barbara Carvalho, director of the Marist poll, referring in particular to the partisan divide."There was some confusion initially — if this was really a health crisis or an economic crisis."
Just 46% say it is, down from 61% in February. Again, though, there's a big political divide. Many more Democrats now say the federal government isn't taking adequate steps, going from just 35% in February to 70% now. Independents have also declined in their confidence with just 47% now saying the federal government is doing enough, down from 69%.doing enough, which is actually a slight improvement from February.
