Seven in 10 Americans also say they trust their governor over the president when it comes to reopening businesses.
WASHINGTON — Americans have significantly more confidence in their governors than in President Donald Trump when it comes to handling the coronavirus, according to new data from an NBC News/SurveyMonkey Weekly Tracking Poll.
And 7 out of 10 Americans say they trust their governors over the president to decide when to reopen businesses in their area. Just 25 percent say they trust Trump over their governors. Even among Republicans, just over half — 53 percent — say they trust the president's judgment on reopening over that of their governors.
As case counts and deaths have continued rising since the spring, the president has downplayed the surge, blaming it on increased testing. While the president has been slow to publicly support mask-wearing and other social distancing techniques, his hope that the virus will"disappear" isn't in line with Americans' fears of a second wave.
As states have begun to reopen businesses in recent months — moves that have been frustrated by the rising case counts — Trump has sought to promote the country's reopening and frame a return to normal as an economic imperative.
