It doesn't suck for me, at all. It sucks for those who are foolish enough to to put their trust in government. I've been living my life quite well. I'm trying to play nicely with others, but I'm still making my own decisions for my life and it's working out just fine.

Also, FWIW, I don't put much stock into telephone polls in general, let alone polls of 800 people in a state of 8 million.

Is the question "Do you trust the government" or is the question "Do you approve of Northam's handling of the situation?"

You can be informed and not trust the government but still approve of his handling of the situation.

Too many people (not saying you) have to be on one side or the other and cant be objective to each individual case.

It's not that I don't trust the government in some conspiracy theory sort of way. I simply think I can make better decisions for my family than the government can. I don't think the government should be responsible for making those decisions as each of us are in different situations.

And, considering how badly Northam has blown testing in this state, I'm astonished to think anyone approves of how he's handled this.
