Varney: Coronavirus-struck America hasn't turned on Trump

FOX Business’ Stuart Varney, in his latest “My Take,” argues that even though the U.S. has been battered by the coronavirus, Americans are still in support of President Trump.

“In the face of disastrous economic numbers, tragic loss of life, a national lockdown and harsh media criticism, you may have thought that America would turn on the president,” he said. “After all, if you're stuck at home and all you see is the negative side of things, it’s tough to be positive. Taking out your frustration on the president is understandable.”

But according to an April Gallup Poll, Varney said Trump is getting 49 percent approval which is up by six points in one week – his “best level ever.”

Independents are really the driving factor in his ratings, Varney said, since they’ve given Trump 47 percent approval, up from 39 percent in early April.
