Trump’s positive coronavirus polls
- Thread starter Cow Mengde
- Start date
- COVID
I don't think it is. Watch the nightly news for how Trump is presented. It won't hold.
Give it literally two weeks.
(Unfortunately, I might add, but still; shit's going to be so fucked up in just two weeks at current spread rate)

Cognitive dissonance at its' finest. It was never really about the economy in most people's minds, but people will mobilise what 'evidence' they can to support their belief.
Not at all.
Until lots of people start dying / become heavily affected by this, Americans will not take this seriously.
His entire voter base is made up exclusively of ignorant racists that believe everything he tells them. How is this surprising?
It's not going to keep going that way. Thousands and thousands will die. The economy will be destroyed.
Most of America is not affected by it yet.
If and when it spreads into middle America those numbers will drop.

Happens every time, but it gets misinterpreted and gaslit over time. Honestly I think our worst presidents tend to be the ones considered "the greatest" longer than someone doing their fucking job
Wait, the US has probably the worst response of the entire developed world and his ratings have gone up, what?
If we follow the timelines of China and Italy, we're about to see a ton of people die in the next couple of weeks :(
Like someone said in the other thread, even Carter's numbers went up immediately after the hostage crisis.
Stop being worried about polls right after a crisis. People will rally around the president.
If 6 months from now, after months of growing unemployment numbers, coronavirus related deaths, and negative ads from the campaign he's still polling this high, then we can start to worry.

The News needs to show what it is like in Hospitals. They need to show how it's getting worse everyday. They need to show how awful it is to have this disease and die from it.
As Nate Silver has pointed out, this line of pooling isnt that great during a crisis because there is natural herding of people wanting to come together during a crisis. The polling of how he handled after its over will tell the full story, and his overall job approval numbers remain stagnant along with polls of generic democrat vs trump remaining steady along with biden v. trump and bernie v. trump.
Just met with Gallup today about some COVID-19 data, people support their leaders during a crisis, regardless of party. His numbers will hold steady or rise for the duration.
Reporter: "What do you say to Americans who are scared in this time of crisis?"
Trump: "You're a terrible reporter"
How TF can anyone hear THAT coming out of his mouth and have confidence that he's going to help guide us through? It's completely baffling.
People always rally the wagons. It's a temporary boost that'll go away over time, especially when the virus doesn't stop being a thing. Plus if this is the highest his approval can go, even during a national crisis, then his future isn't going to look too good.
Even Bush's insane 9/11 boost didn't hold up forever

I think so too.
As the "face" of the crisis, he is also going to also take points/credit for the Stimulus bill
On paper, the numbers the media has been touting also look small compared to other places. (Mostly because of the lack of testing)
I'm sad to say it, but its going to get worse soon enough. :(
Come Easter (He set himself up for that lol), I bet the dude is going to be in the shit
is it really that surprising when those with the loudest voice are telling lies about how good of a job he's doing? this is how those with power stay in power, regardless of the facts
im fairly certain theres a decent percentage of democrats (like 13% i saw in one poll...fools) who approve but obviously wont vote for him.
...some will though.

People look to authority to provide stability in troubled times. That's what this is. It's still incredibly depressing after he fucked the US response to COVID-19, which will lead to thousands of deaths that might have been avoided.
