Six in 10 Americans approve of the job President Trump is doing to battle the coronavirus crisis, Gallup reported this week. The president’s approval rating hit 49% — the highest of his presidency, the polling group said.

But the media — that’s a whole ‘nother story.

A new Gallup study about Americans’ view of the handling of the coronavirus crisis by nine different entities — from hospitals and schools to employers and Congress — put the news media dead last — and the only one in which the disapproval rate was higher than the approval rate.

“Americans are generally positive in their evaluations of how each of nine leaders and institutions has handled the response to the coronavirus situation,” Gallup wrote. “Eight of the nine receive majority positive ratings — led by U.S. hospitals, at 88% approval. Only the news media gets a more negative than positive review.”

The news media fared worse than the Centers for Disease Control, state government, Vice President Mike Pence, President Trump, and even Congress, which almost always has a negative rating from Americans.

Gallup asked 536 adults, “Do you approve or disapprove of the way each of the following is handling the response to the coronavirus in the U.S.?”

U.S. hospitals: 88% approved, 10% disapproved

Your child’s school or daycare: 83 – 9

Your state government: 82 -17

Your employer: 82 – 14

Government health agencies such as the CDC and NIH: 80 -17

Vice President Mike Pence: 61-32

President Donald Trump: 60 – 38

Congress: 59 – 37

The news media: 44 – 55

Of course, when broken down by political party, more Democrats (61%) than Republicans (25%) approved on the news media’s handling of the crisis.
