A majority of Americans -- 55% -- now say the federal government has done a poor job preventing the spread of coronavirus in the US, up eight points in about a week, according to a new CNN poll as the nationwide death toll from the virus rose above 12,000.
Eighty percent feel the worst of the outbreak is yet to come, most feel President Donald Trump could be doing more to fight the outbreak, and 37% say they have grown more concerned about coronavirus in the last few days, far outpacing the 5% who say their fears have eased recently.About 1 in 5 say they personally know someone who has been diagnosed with the virus, a figure that is double the share who said so in a Washington Post/ABC News poll conducted just two weeks ago.
Social distancingMore than 9 in 10 say they understand the social distancing guidelines that have been put in place where they live, but far fewer have faith in their neighbors' implementation of the guidelines. Overall, 74% say people in their community are following the rules at least somewhat well, but just 28% think their neighbors are doing"very well" following the rules.
