大多数美国人都怀疑唐纳德·特朗普总统的性能冠状病毒大流行——不赞成他的反应，不相信他关于病毒的言论，并批评他们认为他控制病毒的落后方法，一个新的美国广播公司新闻/益普索民意调查周日发布的发现。
在益普索与美国广播公司新闻部(ABC News)合作进行的新调查中，特朗普对他处理新冠肺炎事务的支持率为35%，而不赞同特朗普的支持率为65%。这是特朗普的COVID回应支持率自7月初以来连续第四次徘徊在30岁至35岁之间。
在为期六个月的病毒调查中，特朗普在7月10日的调查中对他在大流行上的管理工作的支持率跌至33%，此前在危机早期曾达到55%的高点。
由于党派分歧严重，特朗普在这个特定问题上继续面临超出其基础支持的障碍。尽管80%的共和党人赞同他对疫情的处理，但只有31%的独立人士和5%的民主党人持相同观点。五分之一的共和党人和压倒性的95%的民主党人和69%的独立人士不赞成他对冠状病毒的反应。
全国约三分之二的人认为总统对疫情的反应太慢，也不相信他对冠状病毒的说法——对特朗普来说，这是一个不稳定的现实，他在不到两个月的竞选中面临连任，这场竞选在很大程度上被视为对他应对前所未有的危机的全民公决。
新的民意调查是在对总统有争议的一周结束时进行的。
特朗普自冠状病毒大流行爆发以来一直被批评反应迟缓，在总统告诉记者鲍勃·伍德沃德的消息被披露后，他正与新的审查进行斗争他故意降低威胁根据美国有线电视新闻网和《华盛顿邮报》的报道，今年早些时候向公众公布了这种流行病。
特朗普在3月19日表示:“我一直想淡化这件事。”就在几天前，他宣布冠状病毒危机为国家紧急情况。“我还是喜欢淡化，因为我不想制造恐慌。”
伍德沃德采访特朗普的录音带的发布似乎对该国对特朗普在总统任期内重大危机上的做法和领导力的负面看法没有什么影响。
不相信特朗普关于冠状病毒大流行的说法的美国人的百分比类似于美国广播公司新闻/华盛顿邮报民意调查从7月中旬开始，只有34%的美国人在病毒问题上信任总统，而64%的人对他的言论持谨慎态度。
甚至特朗普自己的政党成员也对他管理冠状病毒的努力感到担忧——共和党人对他应对这一流行病的方法的信任比对他的主要竞争对手乔·拜登的怀疑更加分裂。
超过四分之一的共和党人(28%)认为特朗普对冠状病毒的反应太慢，26%的人对他的言论持保留意见。超过三分之二的共和党人(69%)表示，他的行动速度是正确的，并相信他对这场流行病的说法(74%)。
不信任拜登的共和党人数跃升至90%，而信任他所说的话的共和党人数为10%。
特朗普基础上的裂缝不止这些。
一半没有大学学历的美国白人认为特朗普的回应落后于应有的水平(50%)，并对他关于冠状病毒的言论表示怀疑(51%)。不到一半的人认为他的回应速度正确(48%)，并信任他(48%)。
与此同时，三分之二没有大学学位的美国白人对拜登持怀疑态度，三分之一的人对前副总统的言论有信心。
对拜登来说，大多数美国人对他关于病毒的言论的信任度存在分歧，只有微弱多数(51%)相信他，相比之下，49%的人更持怀疑态度。
在他自己的选民中，85%的民主党人信任拜登，这比特朗普在共和党人中的支持率更高，而15%的人更怀疑。
除了冠状病毒，特朗普本周已经陷入争议，因为《大西洋月刊》在9月3日发表了一篇爆炸性的报道详述所谓的批评这位总司令谈到了美国军队的成员——有匿名消息称他称他们为“失败者”和“笨蛋”，并质疑他们从事军旅生涯的动机。
大多数美国人以2比1的优势认为拜登比特朗普更尊重那些穿制服的人。
在共和党人中，特朗普被视为比拜登更尊重军方人士的候选人，支持率为81%对16%。在民主党人中，数字正好相反，93%的人说拜登更尊重军队，而7%的人说特朗普也是如此。拜登在独立选民中也领先，65%的人支持他，超过特朗普的35%。
Deep skepticism for Trump's coronavirus response endures: POLL
Most Americans are skeptical ofPresident Donald Trump's performance on thecoronaviruspandemic -- disapproving of his response, disbelieving of his rhetoric on the virus and critical of what they view as his lagging approach to containing it, a newABC News/Ipsos pollreleased Sunday finds.
Trump's approval for his handling of COVID-19 lands at 35% in the new survey, which was conducted by Ipsos in partnership with ABC News using Ipsos' Knowledge Panel, compared to 65% who disapprove. This marks the fourth straight poll with Trump's COVID response approval hovering in the low-to-mid 30s since early July.
In six months of polling on the virus, Trump's approval for his stewardship on the pandemic reached a low of 33% in a July 10 poll, after reaching a high in the early days of the crisis -- 55% in a March 20 poll.

With deep fissures along partisan lines, Trump continues to face hurdles expanding beyond his base support on this particular issue. Although 80% of Republicans approve of his handling of the pandemic, only 31% of independents and 5% of Democrats say the same. One in 5 Republicans and an overwhelming 95% of Democrats and 69% of independents disapprove of his response to the coronavirus.
Roughly two-thirds of the country think the president acted too slowly in responding to the outbreak and also distrust what he has said about the coronavirus -- a precarious reality for Trump who is facing reelection in less than two months in a campaign largely seen as a referendum on his response to the unprecedented crisis.
The new poll was conducted at the tail end of a controversial week for the president.

Trump, who was dogged by criticism from the onset of the coronavirus pandemic for a slow-moving response, is contending with renewed scrutiny after it was revealed that the president told journalist Bob Woodwardhe deliberately minimized the threatof the pandemic to the public earlier this year, according to reports from both CNN and The Washington Post.
"I wanted to always play it down," Trump said on March 19, just days after he declared the coronavirus crisis a national emergency. "I still like playing it down, because I don't want to create a panic."
It appears the release of the audio tapes of Woodward's interview with Trump had little impact on the country’s negative views of Trump's approach and leadership on the major crisis of his presidency.
The percentage of Americans who distrust what Trump says about the coronavirus pandemic is similar to anABC News/Washington Post pollfrom mid-July, in which only 34% of Americans trusted the president on the virus, while 64% were wary of his rhetoric.
And even members of Trump's own party are worried about his efforts to manage the coronavirus -- with Republicans more divided in their trust in his approach to the pandemic than in their doubts of his chief rival, Joe Biden.
Just over one-quarter of Republicans (28%) believe Trump responded too slowly to the coronavirus, and 26% have reservations about his rhetoric. Over two-thirds of Republicans said he moved at the right pace (69%) and trust what he has said about the pandemic (74%).
The number of Republicans who distrust Biden jumps to 90%, compared to 10% who trust what he has said.

Those aren't the only cracks in Trump's base.
Half of white Americans without a college degree view Trump's response as lagging behind where it should have been (50%) and are skeptical of what he has said about the coronavirus (51%). Just under half believe he responded at the right pace (48%) and are trusting of him (48%).
Meanwhile, two-thirds of white Americans without college degrees are skeptical of Biden, while one-third are confident in the former vice president's rhetoric.
For Biden, most Americans are split in their trust of what he has said on the virus, with a slim majority (51%) believing him, compared to 49% who are more skeptical.
Among his own base, Biden is trusted by 85% of Democrats, a higher show of support than Trump with Republicans, while 15% are more doubtful.
Beyond the coronavirus, Trump was already mired in controversy this week after The Atlantic published an explosive story on Sept. 3detailing alleged criticismthe commander-in-chief made about members of the U.S. military -- with unnamed sources claiming he called them "losers" and "suckers" and questioned their motivations for pursuing a service career.
Most Americans, by a 2-to-1 margin, think Biden has more respect for those who serve in uniform than Trump does.

Among Republicans, Trump is seen as the candidate with more respect for those in the military than Biden, 81% to 16%. Among Democrats, the numbers reverse, with 93% saying Biden holds more esteem for the armed forces, compared to 7% who said the same of Trump. Biden also leads among independents, with 65% siding with him, over Trump's 35%.
