the american people aren t falling for the president s lies or his staff s lies. according to the new quinnipiac poll, 62% of americans believe the president is not honest. only 33% say they approve of the job the president is doing. joining us now, brian klaus, fellow at the london school of economics. back with us, ron klain. brian, how is this regarded arounded world when the president of the united states lies about getting a phone call from the president of mexico, and now we see this week lies about getting a phone call about the boy scouts. i don t imagine the boy scouts is playing much internationally. but this routine story that we have every day in the united states about what the president lied about today, how is that seen around the world? well, unfortunately trump has become a global punchline, and it s the least funny joke imaginable. you have a situation where allies can no longer trust the united states, and so aside from
voters, and he isn t delivering on the core promises he made of focusing on jobs, passing an infrastructure bill, fixing the health care system. he s not delivering on this stuff. he can t get his approval rating back up if he doesn t deliver, and he s not doing it. the poll has really harmful information to the president. the question of would you say donald trump is level-headed? 26% say yes. 71% of americans say their president, the president of the united states, is not level-headed. something they would probably say about most of the high school principals in their town, they re level-headed. do you feel proud ore embarrassd to have donald trump as president? 54% of americans are embarrassed to have donald trump as president. and it goes on, including, brian, some numbers that are very bad for the president in terms of the investigation.
do you think trump thinks he is above the law? 60% say they think the president believe he s above the law. on the issue the special prosecutor, do you think robert mueller will run a fair investigation? 64% say they believe robert mueller will run a fair investigation. brian, this is a president who has been relatively public in making noises within the white house about wanting to fire that special prosecutor, who just about two-thirds of the country believes is fair. that s right. you know, he basically attacked jeff sessions for not obstructing justice, for properly following recusal procedures by not being involved in investigation of a campaign that he was involved in. so i think rule of law is under question under trump s presidency. these poll numbers are altogether astonishing for a president who has overseeing a generally healthy economy and not a massive wartime debacle
