Republicans agree: 61% back Trump’s Easter back-to-work goal

Legacy media may be shutting down coverage of President Trump’s daily virus task force press conferences, but his message about getting the nation back on its feet by Easter is getting through anyway.

The latest Rasmussen Reports survey found that 61% of Republicans share Trump’s confidence that some parts of the country not widely impacted by the coronavirus can begin rolling back precautions by Easter.

As with virtually everything coming out of Washington and the White House, though, there is a huge partisan split. Democrats, who don’t agree with much of anything Trump does, also don’t have confidence in Trump’s Easter back-to-work goal.

Rasmussen found that just 28% agree, and overall, 41% of likely voters are confident compared to 58% who aren’t.

And, said the survey analysis:

“37% of all voters share Trump’s optimism about the fight against coronavirus; 54% do not and think he is making the situation look better than it really is. Again, there’s a sharp party-line division in thinking.

“While 64% of Republicans share Trump’s optimism, 75% of Democrats and 60% of unaffiliated voters believe instead that he is making things look better than they really are.”
