There continues to be more people in the social conservative/economic liberal quadrant where the GOP continues to do well than the Acela social liberal, economic conservative quadrant. Though it appears there was more Biden-GOP ticket-splitting going on in the latter group. 
The public thinks Trump has given up on coronavirus even as half still say the "worst is yet to come" on the crisis and rates as the top priority for the federal government to be working on right now above other issues. 
It's taken some time, but the public has now largely concluded that the United States' response to the coronavirus is worse than most other countries in the world. 63% now say that, up from 57% in late June and 51% in mid-May. 
Trump is out of step on masks as 65% disapprove of his not wearing masks, while just 27% approve. It's rare to see a 60%+ disapprove on any Trump metric because GOP voters typically hold strong for him. Voters also strongly support requiring elected officials to wear masks. 
47% report hearing mostly negative things about Trump's handling vs. 17% who say mostly positive (and 32% mixed). The negative conversation on Trump has been around reopening, testing, masks, ignoring experts. (NOTE: interviews completed before his hydroxychloroquine declaration) 
Coverage of mask-wearing is being covered like the new "culture war" -- just another blue vs. red divide. But something is different here as 2/3 of the country is wearing masks regularly. The divide is really within the GOP as roughly half of Republicans are and half aren't. 
Ratings of the economy remain sour, and relatively stable over the last few weeks, with 81% saying "not so good" or "poor" including 71% of Republicans (who were the latest movers on this metric). 
Overall, Trump approval on the pandemic remains low, so no doubt that the Trump temper-tantrums about his poll numbers that were reported yesterday are true. 
The trust gap between Trump and state/local government keeps growing. Just 28% of America trusts Trump more than their state and local governments. 
The problem with a grand reopening without a plan to address the health problems is that most people won't comply. We asked what people would do if the country was "declared open in the next few weeks." The answer? 76% would "still spend almost all of my time in my home." 
And as the president shows blames, distracts, and sympathizes with those who are flaunting these widely supported guidelines, his approval rating on the pandemic continues to fall. 
Trump's economic approval hit a new low in our daily tracking, with now even amounts of voters approving and disapproving. 
Trump's "liberate" tweets misreading public opinion completely. Yes, some people (26%), mostly Republicans, are saying the "worst is over." But just 10% say relax social distancing, making that a fringe position (and by the way, that 10% ≠ "storm your state capitol" either). 
The nation's Governors are maintaining soaring approval ratings for their handling of the crisis (70% across all Governors) while Trump moves under water on his coronavirus approval rating. 
62% of Americans, including majorities across racial lines and even a majority of white non-college voters, say his downplaying of the threat early on raises "serious concerns" about his handling of the crisis. 
Cuomo favorable bump:
2/ We looked at America’s top worries around this crisis. Americans thinking of their friends and loved ones, reporting their health as their greatest concern.
