States Reopening From Coronavirus Shutdowns Too Soon, Americans Say: IBD/TIPP Poll (Investor’s Business Daily)

published on : 30 Apr 2020 03:07 PM

Americans are pessimistic about a swift end to coronavirus lockdowns, even as a growing number of states begin easing social distancing restrictions to allow more businesses to reopen, according to the national Investor’s Business Daily/TIPP Poll for May. Just 15 percent of Americans believed that their states would be ready to reopen by May 1, a day which saw more than a dozen states relaxing lockdown measures aimed at containing the spread of the coronavirus outbreak. Meanwhile, approximately one-third (34 percent) think that their states should reopen by May 15. Close to one-half (49 percent) of Americans feel that states should wait until June 1 or beyond to reopen. Less than one in five (16 percent) survey respondents were not sure. Americans’ skepticism over lifting state shutdowns reflects an uneasiness about returning to a number of public activities once the country reopens, our survey suggests. A slight majority (54 percent) of Americans would feel comfortable going to the grocery store, followed by an in-person visit to the doctor (44 percent), attending family gatherings (40 percent), dining out at a restaurant (35 percent), going to the barbershop or salon (33 percent), and returning to their workplace (30 percent). When it comes to the response to the coronavirus crisis, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) receives the highest favorability rating, at 62 percent, followed by state governments (59 percent), local governments (57 percent), the World Health Organization (49 percent), the White House Coronavirus Task Force (46 percent), and Congress (36 percent). President Donald Trump continues to receive some credit for his response to the crisis, with 41 percent approving and 39 percent disapproving of his handling of the coronavirus situation.

Economic Optimism Index Ends Record Run; Drops Below 50 for First Time in Trump Presidency, According to New IBD/TIPP Poll

published on : 7 Apr 2020 10:00 AM

U.S. consumer confidence fell into pessimistic territory for the first time in more than three years this month, as social distancing measures aimed at controlling the spread of the coronavirus have shuttered much of the economy, triggering massive job losses and a record stock market sell-off, according to the April reading of the Investor’s Business Daily/TIPP Economic Optimism Index, a leading indicator for the health of consumer spending and the economy in the U.S. The index declined by 6.1 points, or 11.3 percent, in April, to a score of 47.8, its first pessimistic reading since September 2016. This marks the largest monthly drop in the index since October 2013, when the federal government entered a 16-day shutdown that cost the economy $24 billion and put approximately 800,000 federal workers temporarily out of work. This month’s decline in the headline indicator was driven by an erosion in Americans’ short-term outlook for the overall economy and their personal finances. The Six-Month Economic Outlook subindex, a measure of how Americans feel about economic conditions in the next six months, plunged 9.8 points, or 20.5 percent, this month, to a reading of 38.0, the lowest since July 2016. The Personal Financial Outlook component, which gauges Americans’ views on their finances in the next six months, also weakened significantly, plummeting 11 points, or 18 percent, to a score of 50.2, its lowest reading since October 2013. Meanwhile, the Confidence in Federal Economic Policies subindex, which measures public perceptions of the federal government’s fiscal policies, gained 2.5 points, or 4.8 percent, in April, to a reading of 55.1, marking 14 consecutive months in optimistic territory.

More than two in five (43 percent) U.S. households give Trump an “A” or “B” grade for his handling of the coronavirus situation, while 41 percent assign a rating of “D” or “F.” The president also continues to receive relatively high marks on the economy. Close to half of Americans (48 percent) approve of Trump’s handling of the economy, assigning a grade of “A” or “B,” a one-point gain from March.

Meanwhile, 64 percent of Americans are concerned that the crisis will have a negative impact on their retirement savings. The survey also finds that an overwhelming majority (76 percent) of Americans perceive the coronavirus outbreak as a serious threat. Americans also show widespread support for government measures aimed at containing the spread of the coronavirus. Close to 9 in 10 back the closures of nonessential businesses (88 percent) and the limits placed on the movements of Americans, such as “stay-at-home” and social distancing measures (87 percent).

Trump Job Approval Relapses Amid Coronavirus Threat: IBD/TIPP Poll (Investor's Business Daily)

published on : 03 Mar 2020 11:56 AM

President Donald Trump’s approval rating edged lower this month, as the growing coronavirus outbreak and the recent slide in stocks dampen Americans’ outlook for the U.S. economy, according to an Investor’s Business Daily analysis of the latest IBD/TIPP Poll. In March, 41 percent of Americans say they approve of President Trump’s job performance, down from 44 percent the previous month. Meanwhile, the share of those who disapprove of the president rose from 51 percent to 54 percent. Trump garners even lower ratings among independents, 37 percent of whom approve of how he is handling his job as president, compared with 39 percent in February. The decline in Trump’s numbers come as concerns over the coronavirus take a toll on U.S. consumer confidence. The IBD/TIPP Economic Optimism Index fell by 5.9 points, or 9.9 percent, this month, to a reading of 53.9, the largest monthly decline since October 2013. Despite the drop in his overall approval rating, Trump continues to receive good marks on the economy. Nearly half (47 percent) of Americans give Trump an ‘A’ or ‘B’ grade for his handling of the economy, while just 35 percent assign a grade of ‘D’ or ‘F.’
