President Trump's approval rating is just at 35% for his handling of the presidency overall and 31% for his
00:00:06
handling of the economy according to recent CNN polling. The fact that his numbers on the economy in that CNN poll
00:00:11
had 31% job approval. That is atrocious. That is a five alarm fire level number because one, it's way below like the
00:00:22
norm for job approval these days hovers around 40%. You start getting into the 30s and that's scary land. You get into
00:00:29
the low30s and that is like terminal. And for it to be on the economy, which you know, there have been other issues
00:00:35
where his job approval has fluctuated big time and people said, "Oh, I don't
00:00:39
trust him on this X, Y, or Z." The economy was always a thing. Oh, he's the
00:00:42
apprentice guy. Oh, he's the business guy. And so, for his job approval to be
00:00:45
that low on the economy, if that does not turn around, that suggests to me a very troubling midterm for Republicans.
