The bounce is over and the celebrity President is going to be tanking.

A majority of Americans now disapprove of President Trump’s handling of the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak, according to an ABC News/Ipsos poll.

52 percent of Americans disapprove of Trump’s response to the pandemic, while 47 percent approve, according to the poll, which was conducted April 1-2 and had a 4.8 point margin of error. The same poll taken on March 18-19 reported 55 percent approval of Trump’s response versus 43 percent disapproval.

Good sign. But 47% is way too much!!

1. Deliberately underinformed slackers.

And yes, I'm being too kind.

2. another 40 or 50 K dead and they will begin to get it.

3. Only 52%

disapprove of the job he’s doing! Are the others brain dead!

5. My thought exactly!

We can hopeit is a trend...

4. 52% isn't enough,

but it puts Joe Biden in the white house and probably chuck Schumer leading the Senate.

6. That didn't take long.

Love the cartoon!

7. Approval will continue downward.

His core of right-wing authoritarians will likely never stop supporting him, but I think they’re in the 30%+ range.

Most people won’t accept the lies and his heavy toll on their lives.

8. Thanks for this, Noel.. whatever will the US m$m

do about his "tone" now? The American public is seeing right though it.

9. Trump just fired the intelligence inspector general

Sic semper tyrannis

10. I think there are many reasons for his downward trajectory, but I believe his daily televised....

ravings may be hurting him the most, especially when you compare his "briefings" to those of Gov. Cuomo. There's just no comparison, and it really exposes his shortcomings.

11. Coronavirus just passed Gettysburg

Think Trump just lost Pennsylvania in November...and I'm outta Civil War battles to use for comparison.

Watching the videos that healthcare workers post online when they come off their shifts is heart wrenching. They all look so scared and tired and we're still many days or even weeks away from the peak...and that's just NY. If they're already getting burned out and/or sick I don't know how they can keep functioning as a cohesive and effective unit much longer. They sure are heroes in my book. Our healthcare system may collapse under the weight of this moron's stupidity and arrogance. This is exactly why you should never put an imbecilic egomaniacal narcissist in the White House...one mighta thought that woulda been obvious to most Americans before they went ahead and stupidly did it anyway.

Everything Trump touches dies...and a lot of things he doesn't touch, too.

12. and if you ask the 47% what they "like" about his response, they will list things that never

happened.
