NEW @CBSNewsPoll: Views of Trump's handling of coronavirus outbreak slip again: Now is the first time more say he's doing a bad job than a good one. cbsnews.com/news/coronavir…

Different views on Mr. Trump's handling of the outbreak are driven by very different assessments of what's happening in the country. Basically — do docs have what they need? Do you trust his judgment? Are the number of cases being contained?

The @CBSNewsPoll finds there’s been an uptick in the percent who say looking back, the Trump administration wasn't prepared to deal with the outbreak — at 71% now, up from 66% two weeks ago.

AND/BUT... growing signs of hope/optimism for the situation overall: Last week, 51% expected the outbreak would get worse over the next month. Now just 38% say it will get worse, the same percentage who expect things will get better.

And yet: most still feel the effort to control the outbreak is not going well.

So who do Americans trust most to handle the #CoronavirusOubreak? Read full poll results on the politics of the pandemic, here: cbsnews.com/news/coronavir…
