People across almost all the world's leading rich economies have turned more sceptical about their governments' handling of the coronavirus pandemic with confidence slumping the most in Britain, a survey showed on Thursday.

In May, in the Group of Seven nations as a whole, 48% of respondents approved of how authorities had handled the pandemic, down from 50% in April and 54% in March, the survey published by polling firm Kantar showed. Britain’s COVID-19 death toll has surpassed 50,000, according to a Reuters tally, making the country one of the worst hit in the world by the pandemic.

Kantar said 50% of respondents across the G7 said they trusted their government to make the right decisions about the pandemic in the future, down four points from April.

Bojo should resign...50k dead? That’s because he’s a clown and evil dumcum is running the show. No transparency there

The COVID-19 outbreak in your own country is so serious (In the top 4),And especially concerned about China, Will you trust such a government?

It's interesting how they start with that phrase, 'world’s leading rich economies' when most of those countries are in fear of bankruptcy as they head into deep recessions and possible depression with a second wave looming.

When ur cookies agreement pops up & I go to manage content, nothing loads. I'm sure this is a glich but the cynic in me already hates the way most of these pop-ups work to 'encourage' the average Joe to just accept all!
