More than 176,000 people in the U.S. have died from COVID-19.
According to the poll, a 57% majority of registered Republican voters consider that number "acceptable" when "evaluating the U.S. efforts against the coronavirus pandemic."
When asked their opinion of how Donald Trump has managed the response to the pandemic, 86% of Republicans said Trump has done a good job.
When asked about the survey Sunday on CBS News' "Face the Nation," and why there was such a discrepancy between how Republicans view the pandemic compared to other voters, Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said it was "a really unfair poll."
The poll was conducted from Aug. 20-22 from among 2,226 registered voters with a margin of error of plus or minus 2.4 percentage points._
