Abbott's approval is down, as coronavirus cases go up
The poll features numerous questions on attitudes toward the coronavirus pandemic, finding that Texans have become less approving of state and national leadership. In Abbott’s case, from April to June 2020 his job approval trend has decreased from 56 to 49 percent.
This comes as Texas reports more than 200,000 cases and 2,600 deaths from COVID-19. According to projections from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the state is expected to get more than 2,000 hospitalizations over the course of the next two weeks as well.
Many Democratic leaders blame the so-called leadership from Abbott and other GOP leaders. One outspoken critic has been former Texas Congressman Beto O’Rourke, who called Abbott’s direction “negligent”.
“Abbott opens Texas too soon, issues mask order too late, denies local leaders authority to contain the virus — causing uncontrolled COVID spread, many hospitalized & soon dead because of his negligence — and then blames local officials?” O’Rourke posted on Twitter. “Pathetic. Resign.”
