Yeah, the one that comes to my mind in the middle of a war is Donald Runsfeld back in 2006, right, heading into a midterm election where it doesn't look like your party is going to do particularly well. voice-verified

Net popularity rating of defense secretaries at this point in midterm. voice-verified

Look at this, Pete Heggseth, again, 22 points underwater. voice-verified

This is historically low because Donald Runsfeld, who wasn't exactly smelling the roses, he was seven points underwater. voice-verified

Again, a net popularity rating in the negative underwater. voice-verified

Still fifteen points better than Pete Hexeth. voice-verified

And why is this comparison in my mind so much? voice-verified

Is because remember Don Rumsfeld was essentially forced to resign after those midterm elections after Republicans got crushed. voice-verified

And I think there's some question if the midterms go the way that a lot of folks think they might go, will Donald Trump's tune on this gentleman right here perhaps change a little bit? voice-verified

Well we'll have to wait and see. voice-verified

I mean, just look at this trend line. voice-verified

Trump's not approval rating on jobs. voice-verified

He is now twenty-two points underwater. voice-verified

Swimming with the fishes, a very unlucky 22 points. voice-verified

That is way down from where he was at the beginning of term number two, where he was a plus nine points. voice-verified

And the whole other thing is this was such a big strength for President Trump in term number one. voice-verified

He was 10 points above water at this point in term number one. voice-verified

So we're talking about a 32 voice-verified

Two point decline in terms of Trump's net approval rating on jobs. voice-verified

It is not just inflation that is hurting Trump when it comes to the economy in the American voters' minds. voice-verified
