How to Disarm Conservative “Law & Order” Rhetoric
Thursday, June 11, 2020Americans believe race relations have worsened under Trump and lack confidence in him to handle issues related to policing and race. As the protests continue, Americans have some concern that the national conversation has become too focused on the protests instead of the murders and systemic racism that have led up to them.
Black Lives Matter
Wednesday, June 10, 2020There is overwhelming support for the protests in response to the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor, among many others, and a majority recognize their deaths as part of a broader problem with police brutality.

An “Obamacare” Milestone
Friday, June 5, 2020Trump’s handling of the economy hits a new low; a majority disapprove of his decision to withdraw from the World Health Organization; Democrats hold a trust advantage on issues related to the pandemic while a majority views the House-passed HEROES Act as appealing because it gets economic relief to those who need it most.
Perceived Lack of Compassion Compounds Trump’s Early Failures

Scattershot President

Relief Bills Receive Broad Support

Trump Attacks on Obama Aren’t Working
Thursday, May 21, 2020Trump’s attacks on the Obama administration appear to be failing him as the public maintains general concerns about Trump’s blaming others, downplaying the threat, and ignoring experts, and Democrats in Congress continue to hold an advantage over Trump on trust to handle a number of issues related to the coronavirus pandemic.
Toward a Safe Reopening
Wednesday, May 20, 2020When it comes to reopening the economy, Americans say they trust Dr. Fauci and Democrats more than Trump and report concerns about their state opening too soon; the president’s approval on the coronavirus pandemic reaches another low in Navigator’s tracking.
Mental Health Amidst the Pandemic
