An NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll finds 50% say they or someone in their household has lost hours or a job due to the pandemic. They also say their governors are doing a better job it than Trump.
President Trump does not fare very well as far as his handling of the pandemic goes. Most Americans, except Republicans, disapprove of the job he's doing on it, and there are massive divides by gender and educational attainment.
Fifty percent of Americans said they or someone in their household has either lost hours or a job because of coronavirus, up from 18% a month ago. And the pandemic is having a harsher economic effect on people of color, those without a college degree, younger people and those who make less money.
Solid majorities of Democrats and independents disapprove of the job Trump is doing handling the pandemic, but almost nine-in-10 Republicans approve.Trump gets higher marks for his handling of the economy with 50% approving of the job he's doing related to it. The difference is with independents. A majority of them disapproved of his handling of coronavirus by a wide 58%-to-40% margin, but a majority of them narrowly approved of the job he's doing on the economy .
