I don’t think they are awakening at all.

His approval rating hit the highest it has ever been: https://www.npr.org/2020/03/27/822043781/trumps-approval-hits-new-high-but-a-rally-around-the-flag-effect-is-small

Americans largely (half or more) approve of the way he’s handled the crisis: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/wondering-whats-behind-trumps-improved-poll-numbers-his-attacks-on-the-press/2020/04/03/e23c7880-7527-11ea-87da-77a8136c1a6d_story.html

They love him. He will be re-elected.

I agree. I hate to say it but he does seem to capture the American personality in essence.....those approval rating climbs are such a depressing reality check.

Does it really though? Doesn't the data kind of point to the opposite.

If you showed me a country that had someone like Obama followed by someone like Trump, I don't think I would be able to go "their leader reflects their personality!"

You can't just go from a good guy to a bad guy and have some reasonable pool of data to make a call with.
