Most governors who followed Trump in quickly pushing to get rid of measures to stop the pandemic are also sharing his loss of popularity

Arizona’s Doug Ducey has been holding a clinic on how not to handle a pandemic. Photo: Ross D Franklin/AP/Shutterstock/Ross D Franklin/AP/Shutterstock A recent compendium of presidential and gubernatorial job-approval data related to the handling of COVID-19, released by a consortium of four universities, mainly drew attention for showing that Donald Trump is getting lower marks for pandemic management than governors in 49 out of 50 states .

It’s true there has been a general erosion of job-approval numbers for governors regarding their handling of the pandemic, which is unsurprising given the suffering and fatigue that have accompanied a public-health emergency that has lasted longer than most people anticipated. The consortium collected COVID-19 job-approval ratings in late April, early May, late May, and late June and found that they had declined between April and June in 45 of 50 states.

Another early-and-active reopener, Texas governor Greg Abbott, saw his COVID-19 approval rating drop from 60 percent in April to 44 percent in June. It’s probably even lower now after a couple of weeks of terrible news about new cases in the state’s major cities. Still another Republican governor who was damaged as much by a slow and limited response as a hasty reopening is Iowa’s Kim Reynolds, whose COVID-19 approval rating dropped from 52 percent in late April to 36 percent in early May, as she refused to issue a statewide stay-at-home order.

Loss of popularity because... 1. People are changing your minds 2. Your supporters are dying off in droves, leaving behind just the people who think they are idiots and ignored them, thereby changing the mix...

You hate to see it
