many american voters had doubts about the democrats and their policies as well. the poll shows that while the president s approval rating remains stable at 45%, a record share of voters dislike president trump personally. that s nearly seven in ten. joining me now to break down what these numbers mean, shan onpeto shannon petty-peace. what s the biggest take away? i think it s that disapproval number and our poll guru, carrie dan pointed out a great statistical piece. that is a record disapproval for a president. the second most disapproved or personally disliked president, i should say. people who personally dislike the president aside from their policies was 46% who said that of george w. bush. for 69% to say they dislike him,
rating up. again polling this morning, his disapproval number is higher than the approval number on the economy, which was the thing keeping him afloat. you re definitely seeing that sense of panic come over the president now with tweets, with blaming us and whatnot. at his rally in manchester a couple of weeks ago, he was trying to make the point that you have no choice but to vote for me. if you vote for a democrat, your 401(k)s will plummet and whatnot. he is starting to sense that. right now, people are not buying that. you mentioned women. i want you to look at a couple of data points from this poll this morning. first of all, just in the match-ups between president trump and a series of democratic candidates, who are running to actually be the ones to be the nominee, they crush him. biden wins by 16, sanders, 14rks so on and so on. even pete buttigieg, who would beat the president by nine. look what it says about white women. biden would win among white women, 18. same with
55% think the president is responsible for the shuttdown compared to 32% who blame democrats in congress. 56% oppose the border wall versus 39% who approve of it. 37% approve how he s handing his job while 57% disapprove at the moment. and that disapproval number has gone five points higher since last month. let s discuss this. john avlon, when you ve been looking at these numbers all morning, what does this mean about the message something what does this mean about who is americans are listening to? first of all, donald trump is spectacular unpopular given the state of the economy under employment in particular at this point in his term. disapproval number going up is significant. that s people who are really saying i don t like this guy. not i think he s doing a great job. what really struck me isn t just in the shutdown fight. democrats are getting off easy.
