In April, after publicly pushing for reopening and reportedly privately endorsing Georgia Governor Brian Kemp’s plans, Trump publicly criticized Kemp.)
The result is all the more striking because views on Trump’s handling of the crisis follow the usual pattern, remaining deeply split along partisan lines.
In pandemic-related polls, Republicans approve of Trump’s handling of the crisis much more highly than Democrats do.
Yet even then, majorities of Republicans only support reopening retail shops and golf courses, the same sorts of businesses that most Americans overall want to open.
The polling suggests that there’s a sizable tranche of Americans who approve of Trump’s handling of the pandemic but do not agree with his calls for a swift reopening.
