<p>Looks like all leaders are getting a significant approval boost from COVID-19 with a few exceptions: Obrador (Mexico), Bolsanoro (Brasil), Abe (Japan), see above.  Trump’s approval is up from -10 to -5. The approval ratings surged much more dramatically for Johnson (GB), Merkel (Germany), Trudeau (Canada), Morrison (Australia), and Macron (France).</p>
<p>And this is not reflected in consumer confidence, see below.</p>
