The survey reveals 48% of respondents in the G7 nations approved of how authorities had handled the crisis in May

London — 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.

Britain saw the biggest drop — a sharp fall of 18 points from April to 51% — while in the US, Canada, Germany, France and Italy, the declines ranged between two and six points. Japan was the only country to show an increase. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has also struggled to contain the fallout from a decision by his top adviser Dominic Cummings to undertake a long road trip to get family help at the height of the coronavirus lockdown when Covid-19 hit his household.
