Trump's coronavirus polling bounce is fading

The polling bounce for President Trump’s handling of the coronavirus, which defied the Washington conventional wisdom and dismayed Democrats, is starting to fade.

Morning Consult’s tracking poll recorded a 7-point drop from the March 20 peak in public approval of Trump’s management of the outbreak. This follows a CNN/SSR poll released on Monday that found the country split on the subject, with 48% saying Trump was doing a good job dealing with the pandemic and 47% saying he was doing a poor job. Earlier in March, the split was 49%-43% in favor of the job Trump was doing coping with the public health crisis.
