8:45 am. Governments less supported. Support for government responses to the new coronavirus crisis is eroding in several countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States or Japan, according to an international study published by the KekstCNC firm. Conducted in six countries (France, United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, United States and Sweden), it shows this downward trend compared to the month of June.

In the United Kingdom, only 35% of those polled positively judge the government's action, ie 3 points less than in June. Support for the government is also declining in the United States, with 44% dissatisfied (instead of 40% in mid-June) or in Japan where more than one in two respondents (51%, against 50%) believes that the authorities are managing badly the crisis. The French, on the other hand, are more satisfied (+ 6 points) with the government's action, even if they remain generally dissatisfied at 41%.
