problem with the electorate, now is the time to do it. get all of the bad ones out, make the withdrawal, force the vaccine mandates on people even if you know it s going to result in a dip in the popularity and see where things look if the economy turns around going into the first quarter of next year. i want to unpack a little bit of what you just mentioned regarding the polling. this is new cnn polling. overall the president has a 52% approval rate, 48% disapproval rate. that number is up since april. what s striking is 54% disapprove. it s so politically fractured. there are these severed party lines that are just so blatant and independence always matters but we cannot overlook their power. give us a sense of what s more
world to give the afghan women a voice. yeah, you to feel for these women that are likely to to live under sharia law. president biden s decision to withdraw so quickly here and apparently against the advice of top generals and i realize the situation is still very much unfolding on the ground but i have to ask, how does this play out when it comes time to talk about the midterms and i want to put up a recent ap poll of the president s handling of foreign policy taking just a few weeks ago august 12th through the 16th, you see there the approval rate, 47% disapproval rate 51%, so how damaging is this going to be to president biden and democrats in general, robert? i don t think it would be damaging at all. let s remember that the president that president trump s timetable for withdrawal was may of 2021. president biden will be judged on how the the evacuation worked, how exactly he gets our troops home and focusing on a
declaration with the british government, it was an international treaty and a lot of other countries recognize it. and the global community has an obligation in terms of monitoring its implementation and most importantly, hong kong is at the forefront of fighting global fights that we are stop paying the revival of totalitarianism. do you have support from people of hong kong? hong kong has businessmen. they re losing money. hong kong is in recession. people are fleeing. do you have support from people in hong kong? or is that waning? well, if you look at the latest rating, which the rating has been dropping drastically since the protest, the latest disapproval rate of carrie lam is 71%, such astonishing figure. if you look at the demands of the people, 18% of people supporting setting up of independent inquiry
44% in a new poll. that s up five points from april, but his disapproval rate is still higher. 53%. his continuous negative rating, two and a half years into his presidency, is a modern record. tonight the president is continuing his fight to get a controversial citizenship question on next year s census. correspondent kevin corke is at the white house tonight. spending 15-$20 billion on the census. they are asking everything except our u.s. citizen of the united states. how ridiculous is that? and perhaps the clearest sign of his administration s defiance of a supreme court ruling against adding a set citizenship question to the 2020 census, president trump bowed over the weekend at the fight was far from over. we are moving forward, we have a couple of avenues and our attorney general is doing a fantastic job in many ways and i think he s got it under control. under control and obviously in full agreement. barr says he sees a pathway to
pulling his cheers from, if they are cheering on the immigration lines, that doesn t necessarily reflect independents, maybe some softer trump voters who aren t happy. i m not just saying just on the issue of immigration. what that tells me is that the president himself is hurting himself. that s the challenge because if he goes levies those insults that actually energizes his crowd it does put off the same voters he wants to attract and it goes to the character argument that joe biden is making in particular saying, you know, may not be the economy may be doing well but look at the president, the man in office. people don t when he s when his advisers deliver him those numbers, he doesn t believe them. he doesn t internalize them because he just thinks that they are wrong. he thinks he s on the ballot this time so it won t be the same as 2018. here s why again. if you re president trump and you look at this now, 54% of the people of pennsylvania think they are better off
