Canadians overwhelmingly disapprove of U.S. President Donald Trump’s handling of the novel coronavirus pandemic, a new poll has found.
Polling conducted by Ipsos exclusively for Global News found that only 16 per cent of Canadians approved of Trump’s response to the COVID-19 crisis.
Trump was the only politician included in the survey who Canadians “aren’t impressed by,” Ipsos CEO Darrell Bricker said. “It’s just proving that the common aphorism, which is that a rising tide lifts all boats — well, not in the case of Donald Trump.” Of the 1,006 respondents, only five per cent said they strongly approved of Trump’s handling of the pandemic.
