[upbeat music] Donald Trump has just hit a number that we have never seen in this presidency.
This is the new number from American Research Group, not a left-leaning pollster.
This same poll a year ago had Trump at 37% approval, and over the last 12 months, it dropped to 35, and then 34, and 32.
And now for the first time in this series, 29% approval for Trump, a record low, 68% disapproval.
A- among registered voters it's basically the same, 30% approval, 68% disapprove.
We had a great talk about this actually yesterday with Don Lemon at the Upper West Side Barnes & Noble for my book talk.
I try to give you all the information, and so it is notable and true that this is the lowest number Trump has ever had, 29% in the AGR poll.
So I'm not gonna tell you the true and singular approval number is t- exactly 29%.
But their trajectory is very clear, and there's no way to dismiss that multiple polls show Trump so far underwater.
And what's interesting about the American Research Group poll is that there's maybe, like, 29 is bad, but if you look under the hood a little bit at the economic numbers, this may really spell disaster for Republicans in the midterms that are now just 40-something days away.
