A majority of Americans believe their country has handled the coronavirus pandemic badly, according to a major new survey of fourteen advanced economies, which found US and UK nationals are the least satisfied with their country's response.

Twelve of fourteen countries surveyed by the US-based think tank the Pew Research Center gave their government's a net positive rating when asked whether they had done a "good" or "bad" job dealing with the coronavirus outbreak.

Public approval of the government's handling of the coronavirus was highest in Denmark (95% good, 5% bad), Australia (94% good, 6% bad), and Canada (88% good, 11% bad). The median rating across the fourteen countries surveyed was 73% good, 27% bad.

However, in the US and the UK a majority said the pandemic had been handled badly in their country.

In the US, 52% said the Trump administration had handled the outbreak badly and 47% said the opposite. Meanwhile 54% of UK respondents said Boris Johnson's Conservative government had done a bad job, while 46% said it had done a good job.
