Trump claims, without evidence, he's getting "get VERY high marks in our handling of the Coronavirus"
From CNN's Allie Malloy
President Trump is again claiming, without evidence, that he is “starting to get VERY high marks” in the “handling of the Coronavirus.”
It is unclear what source Trump is using to make the erroneous claim but follows a pattern of Trump’s desperation to stamp an end date on the deadly pandemic before November 3.

Starting to get VERY high marks in our handling of the Coronavirus (China Virus), especially when compared to other countries and areas of the world. Now the Vaccines (Plus) are coming, and fast!

Some context: According to a new CBS News/YouGov poll, only 21% of voters nationwide said they would immediately seek out a vaccine if one was made available in 2020.
That number is down from 32% in July. 65% said they believed a vaccine announced this year would, by definition, be the product of a "rushed" process. Only 35% would regard it positively, as a "scientific achievement."

announced on Twitter this morning that he'll be holding a news conference later today.
