Only 26 Percent of Americans Trust Trump for Coronavirus Info, Poll Shows
Only about a quarter of American voters see President Donald Trump as a trustworthy source of information about the novel coronavirus, polling has shown. The new poll by The New York Times and Siena College asked respondents who they trust when it comes to information about the novel virus, showing that just 26 percent said Trump was a reliable source. Conversely, 84 percent said that medical scientists were a trustworthy source of information, while 67 percent listed Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Among Republicans, Trump's base of supporters, 66 percent said they trusted the president. That contrasted starkly with just 4 percent of Democrats and 21 percent of independents who said the president was a credible source of novel coronavirus information. The poll was conducted from June 17 to 22 and included responses from 646 registered voters. Complete article here: Only 26 Percent of Americans Trust Trump for Coronavirus Info, Poll Shows

Some will be injected into their lungs with large doses of bleach. Some would have Lysol sprayed into their eyes, mouth, and nose. Some would be prescribed large doses of hydroxychloroquine. Another group could have extended, high-intensity light therapy sessions with UVB and UVC rays, since if UVB is good UVC must be better. More powerful, like the president.

it's complete crap.
first of all, it only takes about 400 people to conduct a fairly accurate scientific poll.
second, if half the registered Republicans hang up, or don't answer, ANY pollster will call twice as many. if the number is 90%, they will call 10x as many. etc. this idea that GOP voters don't respond to polls is silly on the surface, and gets sillier as you gain more understanding of polls.
NOTE: they said the same thing in 2016, and the polls were accurate in all but a few states. unfortunately, in a close election, a few states matter.
HOPEFULLY IT WON'T JUST BE A FEW STATES THIS TIME.
I see no evidence that Trump supporters have the ability to shut up about their political opinions. ♦Without COVID-19 panic Democrats cannot easily achieve ‘mail-in’ voting; which they desperately need in key battleground states in order to control the outcome. ♦Without COVID-19 panic Democrats cannot shut down rallies and political campaigning efforts of President Trump; which they desperate need to do in key battleground states. ♦Without COVID-19 panic Democrats cannot block the campaign contrast between an energetic President Trump and a physically tenuous, mentally compromised, challenger. ♦Without COVID-19 panic Democrats do not have an excuse for cancelling the DNC convention in Milwaukee; thereby blocking Team Bernie Sanders from visible opposition while protecting candidate gibberish from himself. Report this ad ♦Without COVID-19 panic Democrats do not have a mechanism to keep voters isolated from each-other; limiting communication and national debate adverse to their interests. COVID-19 panic pushes the national conversation into the digital space where Big Tech controls every element of the conversation. ♦Without COVID-19 panic Democrats cannot keep their Blue state economies easily shut-down and continue to block U.S. economic growth. All thriving economies are against the political interests of Democrats. ♦Without COVID-19 panic Democrats cannot easily keep club candidate Joe Biden sealed in the basement; where the electorate is not exposed to visible signs of his dementia. ♦Without COVID-19 panic it becomes more difficult for Big Tech to censor voices that would outline the fraud and scheme. With COVID-19 panic they have a better method and an excuse. ♦Without COVID-19 panic Democrats cannot advance, influence, or organize their preferred presidential debate format, a ‘virtual presidential debate’ series. theconservativetreehouse.com/2020/06/28/sunday-talks-vice-president-mike-pence-vs-cbs-john-dickerson/#more-195535
