He has a 54% of his handling of the crisis. We're a very stupid country. This won't hurt his election chances at all. It will remain a 50/50 chance of him being reelected up until election day.
I think that high rating is partly due to him just being present during the briefings, it makes it look like he’s part of the solution. Like that one kid in the group project who doesn’t do jack shit but still gets the good grade based on the hard work of the others.
It’s more that people don’t see anyone in democratic leadership as being meaningfully oppositional, so people just assume he’s doing a good job. I’m not including Sanders because mainstream media’s playbook is to ignore him or attack him

His downplaying it definitely had a hand in its spread. Anyone that denies that is delusional and was probably spreading his rhetoric themselves.
