When you put it together, what essentially is going on is there are a lot of events in the world, but this cake as we get closer and closer to the midterm elections is starting to look at least a little bit baked here. voice-verified

All right, I mean, I suppose you could say if you're Republican, the good news is it's not getting worse, but you actually need it to be getting better. voice-verified

Correct. voice-verified

These are horrible numbers, Johnny B. So put it in historical perspective. voice-verified

Yeah, just how horrible are these numbers? voice-verified

I mean, it's the worst this century for a president at this point in his second term when you look at an average of the CNBC and Washington Post polls. voice-verified

I mean, we're talking about... voice-verified

Right here, the average of CNBC and Washington Post, minus 22 points. voice-verified

Barack Obama was underwater, but not anywhere near this level. voice-verified

He was at minus eight. voice-verified

And George W. Bush, in the middle of the Iraq war, when that was going south, he was at minus 20 points. voice-verified

So at this point, Donald John Trump voice-verified

is in fact holding the record for the lowest net approval rating for a president in a second term at this point in the second term of any president in the 21st century. voice-verified

And if you think that's bad. voice-verified

And if you think this is bad, what is driving this number? voice-verified

It's independence, baby. voice-verified

It's independence. voice-verified

Look, all time worst at this point in a second term net approval rating among independents, Donald John Trump, this president, voice-verified

segment has been about baking, he takes the cake at minus 45 points among independents, even worse than Richard Milhous Nixon, who was about to leave office because of Watergate, who had previously held the record at minus 37 points, and the aforementioned George W. Bush at minus 31 points. voice-verified

Donald John Trump, the worst ever rating, net approval rating, with independents at this point in a second term. voice-verified
