Covid-19 should have been a rallying cry for Trump, tragedies are a chance to "bring the nation together" and almost always see a President get a small or large (see Bush- post-9/11) poll bump. All you have to do is look into the camera and say "We are facing tough times but we will get through this together, we are working hard to do everything we can to end this pandemic, stay safe and God Bless America" and your polls spike 5 points...
