A new survey for the BBC has shown most Scots think Nicola Sturgeon has handled the crisis better than Boris Johnson.
The poll, which was undertaken before the revelations about Dominic Cummings, suggests most back the First Minister's plan to tackle Covid-19.
And when it came to the UK Government, most people living in Scotland thought they had handled the emergency either "fairly" or "very badly".
82% said they believed First Minister Nicola Sturgeon had coped with the pandemic 'fairly' or 'very well' overall.
Elsewhere, 70% of Scots said they thought lockdown had happened too late, with 26% saying they thought it happened at about the right time.
77% said "moving too quickly" out of lockdown was a bigger risk than easing restrictions too slowly.
And 81% said they supported plans to ease Scotland's lockdown slowly to England and other parts of the UK if the SNP government believe it is necessary.
In another poll published today by Savanta ComRes, approval ratings for Boris Johnson's government plummeted following the Cummings crisis.

Commenting, SNP deputy Westminster leader Kirsty Blackman MP said: "This poll is more evidence that Boris Johnson is rapidly trashing public confidence in the Tory government by failing to remove his rule-breaking advisor Dominic Cummings from his post.
