A just-released Fox News poll on Donald Trump’s performance as president caused MS NOW’s Mika Brzezinski to blurt out “Look at these numbers" to her co-hosts on Thursday morning.
At the start of “Morning Joe,“ Brzezinski prompted her panel with, “We want to show you some new polling from Fox News showing President Trump's approval rating near a record low. We keep reporting on these lows at this point,” before expressing astonishment at how low his approval numbers have plummeted.
“His overall job performance is at 39 percent, down three points since last month and 10 points since his second term started. It's only one point above his lowest ever, which came in October of 2017, during his first term,” she reported as the numbers were shown on the screen.
“However, his 61 percent disapproval rate is a record high,” she added. “Meanwhile, voters are upset with his handling of the economy: 71 percent disapprove of the job he is doing on that key issue — that is five points higher than just last month and 15 points higher than a year ago. The increase since last month includes a seven-point rise in disapproval among —and here's the key point here — Republicans.”
“As for the war with Iran, two-thirds think the United States is winning, but 60% oppose the military action, which is an increase of five points since last month. That's a whole conversation within itself in terms of messaging,” she observed.
