New Poll Shows Large Majority of Americans Blame China for American COVID Deaths

We’re learning day by day the absolute missteps by China in handling the COVID outbreak when it was only contained in their country. So far we know the government shuttered labs, silence physicians, and forced journalists to spread propaganda.

President Trump has rightfully questioned China along the way and pointed out their mistakes. He faced a huge wave of criticism for shutting down travel from China back in January.

Now, an increasing number of Americans also understand the part China had to play in making the COVID pandemic worse. According to a new Morning Consult poll, 73% of Americans place at least some blame on China for American COVID deaths.

Here’s the details from the Morning Consult poll:

Of the 12 groups and organizations listed in the survey, China is the most blamed entity among Republicans, and the fourth most among Democrats.

Asked which statement is most correct, 26 percent selected “The Chinese government gave the U.S. plenty of warning about the pandemic, but the U.S. did not use that time to better prepare for the pandemic,” while more than twice as many (56 percent) selected “The Chinese government did not give the U.S. enough warning about the pandemic, so the U.S. could not better prepare for the pandemic.”
