A Fox News poll that delivered devastating news to Republicans left a panel of MS NOW experts stunned speechless that they agreed with the conservative network about President Donald Trump.
“Morning Joe” co-host Jonathan Lemire admitted Thursday that commentator Brit Hume's response to new poll numbers aligned with his own.
“Hume, the commentator going through some of these poll numbers, said something along the lines of like, 'Well, there's not really much in the way of good news for Republicans in there,'" said Lemire. "I think we can agree with Brit on that."
Fox News reported Trump’s job approval remained at a "near a record low."
"Republicans join Democrats and independents in rating the economy negatively, and 4 in 10 voters want 'dramatic' or 'revolutionary' change," the report stated. "Plus, more view the GOP as tied to elites than the Democratic Party.”
Lemire argued Trump is failing to meet campaign promises — and voters are well aware.
“He was elected to fix this economy, to bring down prices, to bring down inflation and none of that has happened,” he said. “And these are, as we put them on the screen here, these are really rough numbers. We're in late July now, it's no longer early, the midterms are on the horizon.”
Journalist John Heilemann argued Trump had a slew of problems ahead of Election Day.
“Essentially going back to last summer, around the time when the Epstein files started to become central to Trump's administration, you've seen Trump basically descending on every issue,” Heilemann said. “He's been not just declining, but underwater really for almost a year now.”
“I agree with Brit Hume just this once,” he added. “There's not a silver lining on any of these clouds.”
