We give explanations for this rather positive spirit based on literature on earlier crises and we outline the changes in public opinion between January and April 2020 (using the Citizens' Outlooks Barometer). We will complement this quantitative analysis by analysing several open-ended questions to enhance our knowledge on the individual’s perceptions, attitudes and judgments about politics and society at the beginning of the pandemic. Our qualitative data analysis shows that the boost in political trust is driven by a specific appreciation of proceedings during the crisis and not by future expectations. But moreover, while this political ‘rally-round-the-flag’ phenomenon became centre stage of the crisis literature, we actually found that this is less salient than the societal outlook during a crisis: many citizens also express a reappraisal of society.“ DA - 2021/05/01/ PY - 2021 DO - 10.5117/MEM2021.2.002.DEKK VL - 96 IS - 2 SP - 153 EP - 178 LA - en SN - 0025-9454, 1876-2816 ST - Meer dan een politieke vertrouwenspiek UR - https://www.aup-online.com/content/journals/10.5117/MEM2021.2.002.DEKK KW - Öffentliche Meinung ER -
