Despite shutdown of Pa., most voters support Gov. Tom Wolf's handling of coronavirus crisis

Even with a statewide stay-at-home order and a reeling economy, most Pennsylvania voters continue to support Gov. Tom Wolf’s leadership during the coronavirus crisis.

Recent polls show a strong majority of voters approve of Wolf’s management during the pandemic. The surveys come after more than 1,000 rallied in opposition to the governor’s shutdown at the state Capitol this week.

A Fox News poll found 69 percent approve of Wolf’s handling of the crisis. The poll also revealed 62 percent said his stay-at-home order strikes the right balance. Conversely, 23 percent said it is too stringent, while another 12 percent said it is not restrictive enough.

The Democratic governor’s support isn’t defined solely by party lines.

Naturally, Democrats are more inclined to support Wolf’s handling of the crisis, with 86 percent saying they approve of his leadership. But the poll found 50 percent of Republicans approve of Wolf’s crisis management, while 45 percent disapprove.
