A majority of Democratic voters blame Trump for the coronavirus outbreak in the United States more than they blame China, even as the Chinese government sustains heavy criticism for how it managed the virus within its own borders.

A Rasmussen poll revealed this week that a full 60% of Democrats believe Trump is more responsible than China for the coronavirus spreading throughout the United States. Government and health officials have overwhelmingly agreed that China significantly mishandled the outbreak when it first arose in that country in November, leading to a prolonged global pandemic.

Overall, 42% of respondents, both Democratic and Republican, felt that way. Just one-third of respondents, meanwhile, believe that the U.S. government's response to the coronavirus "has been better than government actions in most other countries."
