evidence: Most parents disapprove of the way the Trump administration has handled the issue of school reopening — as do most adults overall. Among parents, 63 percent disapprove while 36 percent approve. More than 4 in 10 "strongly" disapprove, roughly three times the share of those who strongly approve. Views of parents are mirrored among the broader public, with an identical 63 percent of Americans disapproving of Trump’s handling of school reopenings in a parallel survey. [...] Republicans are less likely to favor mask requirements; still, 59 percent of them support this for students and 72 percent for teachers. More than 9 in 10 Democrats support students and teachers wearing masks and more than 8 in 10 independents say the same. Kaizhou Zhu, a Republican living in Concord, Mass., said his children went to on-site camp this summer and successfully wore masks. He’s confident the same will be the case inside schools, and he supports reopening them.
