minority leader, made all the difference in judges, in u.s. attorneys that were sent through and republicans in georgia will tell you it was donald trump s fault and mitch mcconnell would likely tell you it was all his fault. now you look at dr. oz who has some of the highest disapproval numbers i have ever seen in a general election for a major candidate. you look at what s happening with him, with herschel walker who is trailing in the state of georgia. you look at what s happening in arizona and also up into michigan, she was supposed to be in a lot of trouble a few months ago and now she is looking strong. it is extraordinary and the advisor to donald trump told us about the eric tweet was a epic
i m not bernie sanders. two hours worth of q and a with the president and the press corps and suggesting there is more where that came from. he thinks a lot of the problems people see at the white house are perception. he thinks the perception will improve if he gets out there more talking directly to people about what he is doing and he says that s just been tough so far during covid but that s changing. dana. dana: see if he gets on the road. bill: we want to look at the year that has been. come over here and we ll look at the approval/disapproval numbers. yellow is the approval line. this is january 2021 here. goes to january of 2022. disapproval line is in red and you see where the lines cross here and we ll show it to you as to how that happened. what was happening back in may? may he is flying high up 12 points on the approval number.
out the piece in the wall street journal. very good writing. we ll see if you re right in the end. dana: excellent use of grammar. bill: go back to the approval/disapproval on the issues. put it on screen. this is pretty good, right? you look at the economy and covid, foreign policy, healthcare and look where the disapproval numbers are for the white house. he conceded close to nothing on these issues yesterday. again, keep in mind how he turned that on republicans. what are they for? karl is very right. he is setting up the argument to be delivered for the next 12 months leading up to the mid-terms in november. dana: kevin mccarthy has put out a statement about what republicans are for. they are looking at some very key issues that they will say this is what we would stand for when it comes to education and parents being in charge of their children s education. on immigration, on taxes and the economy and on crime which is something that didn t even come up yesterday, bill.
