Despite the network TV blackout of President Trump’s daily coronavirus task force press conferences, and the selective coverage by other liberal media, a huge majority have heard them, and many give the president good grades for his daily remarks.
In a new Yahoo News/YouGov survey, 81% of registered voters said that they have listened to the daily briefings.
And of those who have heard about them, 44% give Trump an excellent to good rating.

According to the survey analysis, “about a quarter of Americans (25%) who have heard about President Trump in the last week rate his performance as ‘excellent.’ About one-third (36%) rated it ‘good’ or ‘fair.’ About two in five (39%) say it was ‘poor.’”
The survey followed demands by several liberal pundits that TV stop broadcasting the daily briefings which typically include analysis of the virus by government doctors. Networks have recently abandoned the briefings, and some cable outlets only cover portions.
The survey noted that Trump’s name dominated the news because of the briefings. Some 82% heard something about Trump in the last week.
Others also in the White House or related briefings, notably Dr. Anthony Fauci, the longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo were also high on that list. Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden was last.
