I don't understand why he got any bump.
Poll finds universal lifestyle changes, rising stress and growing fears about catching coronavirus
......
Trump’s approval rise may represent a rally effect, in which Americans grow more supportive of a president during a national crisis.
After the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, President George W. Bush’s approval rating surged from 55 percent to 86 percent in Post-ABC polling. His ratings stayed above 60 percent for most of the next two years and he won reelection in 2004.
His father, President George H.W. Bush, saw a similar jump in approval following the launch of the 1991 Gulf War, reaching 79 percent approval in January 1991 and 90 percent in March. His approval fell below 50 percent by the end of that year, and he lost his reelection bid in 1992 amid dissatisfaction with the economy.
Despite Trump’s uptick in approval, the verdict on his early actions in trying to control the pandemic is markedly negative, with 58 percent saying he did not move quickly enough and 38 percent saying he moved at the right speed. The result shows a clear partisan split; among Democrats, 86 percent say Trump moved too slowly, while 75 percent of Republicans say he moved at the right speed.
Today, weeks into the crisis, Trump receives more positive ratings for the way he is handling the pandemic and his overall duties as the nation’s chief executive.
His job approval rating stands at 48 percent positive and 46 percent negative among all adults, up from 43 percent positive and 53 percent negative in February.
