The cost of groceries is a major source of stress for 53% of US adults according to AP-NORC poll, followed by the cost of housing

... Esther Bland, 78, who lives in Buckley, Washington, said groceries are a “minor” source of stress — but only because her local food banks fill the gap. Bland relies on her Social Security and disability payments each month to cover her rent and other expenses — such as veterinary care for her dogs — in retirement, after decades working in an office processing product orders.
 
“I have no savings,” she said. “I’m not sure what’s going on politically when it comes to the food banks, but if I lost that, groceries would absolutely be a major source of stress.”

Bland’s monthly income mainly goes toward her electric, water and cable bills, she said, as well as care of her dogs and other household needs.
 
 “Soap, paper towels, toilet paper. I buy gas at Costco, but we haven’t seen $3 a gallon here in a long time,” she said. “I stay home a lot. I only put about 50 miles on my car a week.” ...

Trump took a big hit in April, now again in May, in Rasmussen's Trump Approval Index, net negative in double digits

Polls by both PEW of nearly 11,000 adults at the beginning of May and AP-NORC of 1,000+ in mid May both indicate 48% to 54% consensus that restrictions imposed by state authorities to prevent spread of COVID-19 have been/are "about right". The balance of opinion is split between "too harsh" and "not harsh enough".

Trump signed on to federal stay-at-home recommendations in mid March but began to argue against them within a week and hasn't let up since.

Meanwhile PEW found that 68% of all adults worried that states would re-open too soon and religious whites expressing falling support for Trump's crisis response.

Trump has a base of strong support at about a third of America.
