I don’t want to create panic.” Americans said, 51% to 28%, that it was a bad decision for Trump to play down the seriousness of the virus. In HuffPost/YouGov polls conducted Aug. 27-29 and Sept. 4-7, just before the interviews were revealed, Trump’s approval on handling the coronavirus outbreak ranged between 36% and 44%. The HuffPost/YouGov poll consisted of 1,000 completed interviews conducted Sept. 9-12 among U.S. adults, using a sample selected from YouGov’s opt-in online panel to match the demographics and other characteristics of the adult U.S. population.
