The Trump cult continues to deny reality.
89% of Republicans who rely most on President Donald Trump and his coronavirus task force for news about COVID-19 say the U.S. has controlled the outbreak as much as it could have; 59% of Republicans who rely most on other sources said this. https://t.co/6M26leqgGe pic.twitter.com/uNSPsXzRDG

Believe the U.S. did all it could to control COVID:
FoxNews / Talk Radio Only: 90% yes
MSNBC/CNN/NPR Only: 3% yeshttps://t.co/BTjdbbMkVv pic.twitter.com/tmh8OQkMQd
"Viewers who trust Fox News coverage more than CNN's are slightly less likely to take preventative measures against the novel coronavirus and a little more likely to put themselves at risk, according to a new study published Thursday…" https://t.co/AtQm8lzfgr

The topline here is bad for Trump (Biden +10) but also lots of evidence for why his messaging on COVID is terrible (from a political as well as public health standpoint). https://t.co/FqmFhQOJ56 pic.twitter.com/nu8p8CS3TE

In two separate questions, an identical 72% said that Trump did not take the "risk of contracting the virus seriously enough," nor "the appropriate precautions when it came to his personal health."
NEW: Two-thirds of Americans say President Trump handled the risk of coronavirus infection to others around him irresponsibly, according to a new CNN Poll. 69% of Americans said they trusted little of what they heard from the White House. https://t.co/tTlOVBgy70
