"Over half of the people surveyed in an April poll said President Donald Trump's administration was responsible for significant amounts of misinformation on the new coronavirus.
A survey by Gallup and the Knight Foundation that interviewed 1,693 adults across all 50 states and the District of Columbia who were members of Gallup's panel April 14-20 found that 54% of respondents said the Trump administration was either the largest or second-largest source of coronavirus misinformation.
Respondents were asked what they thought were the "main" and "next most common" sources of "false or misleading information about the coronavirus in the US." The choices were the Trump administration, mainstream national news, social-media websites and apps, state elected officials (governors), friends and family, and local news."
Business Insider
Expectedly, party affiliation determined what people believed.
Republicans say the mainstream news is the most responsible for misinformation, and Democrats say it is Trump and Republicans.
"The White House has not responded to Business Insider's request for comment at the time of publication."

The panel at the hearing who work with Trump daily would disagree. They each said there's been no problem working with or advising him.
So, 54% evidently have no use for Fauci, Geroir, Redmond and Hahn either.
Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
pain in abortion.
Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

The only people who call themselves Republicans at this point are cult members. So it isn't surprising that this breaks down by party affiliation. If Trump told them the sky was green, they would start a dozen threads here calling all the blue sky believers snowflakes and traitors.

Those who want to lock themselves up and die can do what they please. No one will force you out of your bunkers.
Those who want to get busy living while using common sense guidelines in society can do that as well.

Sen. Tim Scott (S.C.) said it best today at the hearing!

What are your medical qualifications to make that assessment? What medical school did you graduate from, and did you specialize in virology or epidemiology?
I hold no opinion on how long lockdowns should stay in place, I defer to the consensus opinion of expert American doctors and health professionals

Hello Cypress,
He's president for all of us until we do something about that by mail well before November 3rd, to allow for the USPS which is under attack by you-know-who.
And 5 weeks ago he tweeted that there was 'light at the end of the tunnel.' That day, April 6th, the USA set a new high daily death rate of 1505 deaths. Since then, we have had 21 days with a higher death count.
Must be a really long and very straight tunnel.

54%? That's all???

This is one of the biggest misnomers being perpetuated by the right and their media, no one, absolutely no one, is opposed to opening up the economy, the difference is that the majority of Americans want to see it done smartly and guided by the numbers, not because some can't get a haircut, hit the local gym, or eat a restaurant. Even large parts of NY are scheduled to open this Friday
