POLL: States earn more praise for outbreak response
1 / 3AP Poll Virus Restrictions by PartyA new AP-NORC poll shows large majorities of Americans continue toWASHINGTON — To fight the spread of coronavirus, Americans are confined to their homes and public life is all but shuttered — and a majority say that’s the right call. A new survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research also finds that a wide majority approve of how their state and local governments are responding to the pandemic.
— Overall, 63% of Americans approve of how state governments are handling the outbreak and as many also approve of their local governments' response. Three weeks ago, Americans were slightly less likely to say they approved of each. Americans remain divided on the performance of the federal government, with 4 in 10 approving and about as many disapproving.
Story continues— The emerging partisan split is also seen in how Americans of both parties view their state's response based on which party controls the governor's mansion.
