Ben Meiselas 0:00
Donald Trump's nightmare in Florida is getting even worse. Take a look at the latest YouGov economist polling. Donald Trump is net negative 17. But zoom in on Hispanic voters right now, where Donald Trump's approval is only 8% on the issue of cost of living. Let me repeat that. trump's overall approval among hispanic voters a group he relied heavily on in 2024 on the issue of cost of living is eight percent and this is significantly impacting donald trump's catastrophic prospects and the mega republicans catastrophic prospects in the midterms because you take a look right here at florida the massive shift of hispanic voters who were republican voters in florida also particularly south florida who now consider themselves democrats or who will be voting democrats we're talking about shifts of 25 points 21 points 13 11 25 11

And you're seeing a lot of these districts that had massive, massive Latino Republicans are basically either even or they're voting Democratic right now. And Donald Trump's overall approval amongst Hispanics at an all time low. Democrats lead amongst Hispanics by about 35 percent, 64 to 29. And that number is getting higher as well. You know, you think about Florida. What else did Donald Trump announce in the past 24 hours? That he would be inviting Vladimir Putin to Florida, to the G20 at Donald Trump's Doral Golf Club and resort over there. Nothing says the quid pro quo grift while the American people suffer and pay record gas and diesel prices like Donald Trump inviting Putin to Doral while the American people suffer.

I mean, you even zoom in. Look at the Republican governor candidate, ultra MAGA extremist Byron Donalds. You don't really get much more of a Trump bootlicker extremist than Byron Donalds. Byron changed his website. and purged his campaign website for governor of all references to Donald Trump. All photos, all references, they are gone. And when Byron Donald was asked why he did this, he was like, well, you know, I just think it needed a refresh.

How did the recent YouGov poll show a drastic shift of Latino voters toward Democrats in Florida?

Ben Meiselas 2:25
I just think I need a little bit of an update. I wanted to spruce it up a little bit. And so that's why I had to do it. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is about to have a negative job approval among white people in Florida, which has literally never happened in the history of of polling Trump ever, and he's about to be negative amongst white Floridian voters. Also should be noted this Wall Street Journal poll that was just released late on Friday shows that Donald Trump's overall approval is the worst In Wall Street Journal, modern presidential polling history, their polls date back to 1990 and Trump's is absolutely the worst with a 61% disapproval, only a 37% approval. And when you ask questions like, how would you rate the strength of the economy?
Ben Meiselas 3:17
Only 33% view it positively. Have President Trump's economic policies made the economy better or worse? 60% say worse. Only 25% of Americans say better. And that's a big deal because remember what Donald Trump promised the people of Florida and the rest of the country? He said, on day one, Cost of electricity would go down in half. On day one, he would ensure that gas prices remained at $2 a gallon. He would make sure that interest rates declined. He says, if interest rates increase, it means you're stupid and it means that your country's not hot. Well, interest rates continue to rise. And it was Donald Trump's pick of the new Fed chair who raised the interest rates in a unanimous vote with the Fed board.

Donald Trump said no more never-ending wars. He said he would end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours.

What does the new Wall Street Journal poll reveal about Trump’s overall presidential approval history?

Ben Meiselas 4:12
He said housing would be affordable. He said that we would be so rich you wouldn't know what to do with it. He said that America would be healthy again as well. And he'd come up with health care plans. He lied about everything. Everything. Every word, utterance, and sound of this guy is an absolute liar. You look right here at the Wall Street Journal poll, presidential approval before the midterms. Donald Trump quite literally is the lowest in history, lower than George W. Bush, lower than anyone.
