      Why is the president’s approval rating and coronavirus response rating higher than reality might predict? A few reasons. 1. He repeats, over and over, how well he’s doing. Media cover his self-aggrandizing. More times he repeats it, the more people might believe it. /1

      2. The rally around the flag / bandwagon effect during national emergencies. Most Americans don’t have time to evaluate his performance. And the coverage of all the failures is dwarfed by the practical coverage of the medical and public health news. /2

      3. Those mailers. They link flattening the curve with his brand. 4. A lot of people who don’t like Trump might nevertheless buy into the idea that the pandemic was unforeseen and seeded by evil communists. (Pandemics are THE most predictable existential threat we face).

      5. Compared to governors in the breach, his approval rating is not that high. Not nearly as high as other presidents during national crises. 6. There is no single binary opponent to compare him to. Interesting to compare in aggregate “governors responses” and Trump’s response

      Trudeau & most Canadian premiers polling at around 67% (Quebec Premier at 90%+) -- a good point of comparison.
