Does it though? Can you point me to a free, western style Liberal Democracy where a bad handling of COVID has resulted in an appreciable drop in popularity?

Even Donald Trump, though people polled think he handled the pandemic poorly, his 538 approval on Jan 1st was 42.6% and his approval now is 42.2%.

I don't think it's done much for the Boris Johnson government here in the UK:

Note, though, that he went up to almost 46% which is the highest he has had since right after he took office, when COVID started becoming serious in the US and it briefly looked as if he might handle it somewhat competently.
