U.S. governors were consistently higher than their ratings of Trump and the CDC for communicating a clear plan of action in response to COVID-19.
However, since then, Biden has been rated better than state governors and the CDC.These data are based on responses to a five-point numerical scale measuring agreement that each entity has communicated a clear plan of action for the pandemic.
Agreement is signified by the percentage giving a 4 or 5 rating on the scale.Between June and January, Trump's ratings ranged from a low of 27% agreeing that he was communicating a clear plan for the pandemic to a high of 35%.
