President Trump has defended his administration's response during the critical month of February, when some reports suggested he could have acted more aggressively.
Seventy-three percent of U.S. adults say the worst is yet to come.
Trump has defended his administration's response during the critical month of February, when many reports indicated that the government missed a window to take aggressive, pre-emptive action. Trump has further suggested that any sweeping actions he might have taken earlier on would have been opposed by the public at the time. As an example, he said that"every Democrat thought I made a mistake when I" implemented travel restrictions on visitors from China at the end of January.
Overall, a majority of the public do think it is acceptable for elected officials to criticize the Trump administration's response. Americans across party lines, however, differ in the degree to which they approve. While 85 percent of Democrats think it should be acceptable for elected officials to criticize how the Trump administration is handling COVID-19, Republicans are almost evenly divided, with a slight majority shunning the idea.
