We understand that times are tough for many of you, and that everyone has been affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Please only give if you can; your health and safety are the most important thing right now.

Friends,

As thousands of Americans continue to die from COVID-19, and tens of thousands of Americans continue to be infected every day, Donald Trump continues to congratulate himself for the “fantastic” job he’s doing responding to the pandemic.

The administration even went the extra mile, deploying Jared Kushner to Fox News to keep the stream of praise flowing. “The federal government rose to the challenge, and this is a great success story,” he said about the pandemic that is still worsening in many areas of the country.

So we know that Donald Trump thinks he’s doing a stellar job responding to the pandemic. But we want to know -- what do you think? Tell us in this short survey.

Meanwhile, Governor Northam is taking aggressive action to protect Virginians from the ongoing pandemic. He issued a stay-at-home order through June 10, to slow the virus’s spread. And he continues to work hard every day to help Virginians stay healthy and secure through this crisis -- from taking action to expand our healthcare workforce, to making sure every teacher in the Commonwealth is able to continue teaching online.

A recent poll shows that the majority of Virginians -- 76% -- are pleased with the governor’s leadership during the pandemic. Only 50% of Virginians approve of how Donald Trump has handled it. But we want to hear from you: Do you think Governor Northam has responded well to this crisis? What about Donald Trump? Share your input in this quick survey.
