His approval now stands at 41%, similar to the 39% approval rating he received the last time the question was asked in a poll two weeks ago. Trump’s disapproval now stands at 58%, compared to 60% last time. …

Among Democrats, only 6% approve of the president’s stewardship through the crisis, with an overwhelming 94% disapproving. Republicans, on the other hand, are a near mirror image, with 90% approving of the president’s coronavirus response, and 10% disapproving. CONT.
