Only silly people believe it would be different in America.
But if we actually look at the reality, these figures are always temporary. People quickly change their tune after the initial shock.

This is highly realistic. It's still too early to evaluate the overall response and results from the President in regards to the coronavirus. Back in 2016, there was a professor who was one of the few to predict Trump's victory. He uses some type of boolean metric system based on true/false answers to a set of questions he devised. Up until about a month ago, he had predicted a Trump reelection. But now he thinks the coronavirus may impede reelection. But he chose to wait until later in the year to formally make that conclusion. The professor is well aware of the current ratings boost but sees it as a temporary jump for a response to a national crisis.
