Micah, that’s what we call a double-barreled question. Yes most Americans believe COVID is akin to a natural disaster, but they also believe that the government should be doing a better job of handling the situation.

Micah, it’s definitely the case that voters right now don’t think much of the government’s COVID-19 response.

Currently the polls show 58 percent of Americans disapprove of Trump’s response to the coronavirus. That’s a healthy majority, but that also means there’s a segment of the population that thinks Trump has done a good job. Those people are probably already primed to digest the praise of the actions he took and the message that the hundreds of thousands of deaths were unavoidable.
