Under political cover from polls and a pandemic, Republicans finally break ranks with Trump | COMMENTARY – Baltimore Sun

An ABC/Washington Post poll released Sunday shows Americans overall find President Trump to be more divisive, less representative of their personal values, less understanding of American ideals and everyday problems, less trustworthy, and simply less likable than presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. And his handling of the pandemic or failure to handle it, more precisely is being blamed for the countrys current surge in COVID-19 cases, with Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and other states that followed President Trumps lead in dismissing precautionary measures, such as mask wearing and social distancing, among the hardest hit. In the six months since coronavirus was detected in the United States, more than 3.7 million cases have been diagnosed and nearly 140,000 people have died from it. And its getting worse, with weekly averages of new cases increasing every day for the past six weeks.
