The Public Doesn't Agree With Stance Of Trump And GOP





The charts above reflect the results of the new Quinnipiac University Poll -- done between May 14th and 18th of a national sample of 1,323 registered voters, with a 2.7 point margin of error.

The poll shows that Trump, and his GOP cohorts, are once again out-of-step with the desires of the American public. Trump thinks the economy should be reopened quickly (disregarding the continued spread of the Coronavirus), no further stimulus bill is needed now, a second wave of the virus would be small and easily extinguished, and wearing of face masks (and social distancing) should be optional.

The public overwhelmingly disagrees with all of those stances. By a 54 point margin, they want the economy opened slowly (even if it worsens the economy). By a 32 point margin, they want Congress to approve another stimulus bill. By a 75 point margin, they believe there will be a serious second wave of the Coronavirus. And by a 31 point margin, they believe everyone should be required to wear a face mask in public.
