telling that linguist not to discuss the meeting with white house officials. the reporter who broke that story spoke to cnn this morning. if you go back to clinton, obama, george bush, george h.w. bush, their meet wings with russian counterparts involved multiple aides taking detailed notes. in fact, you can go through the clinton archive and read almost verbatim transcripts of his meetings with boris yeltsin. those just don t exist for donald trump because he s excludeing people from his own white house from seeing what s happening. all this reporting comes on the heels of the stunning story from the new york times that the fbi started investigating whether president trump was secretively working on behalf of russia back in may of 2017. the white house and president trump are now in damage control, pushing back on both of those reports. all of this as president trump s disapproval rate jumps five
problems from years ago. they went after people with loans and other things. it had nothing to do with my campaign. this is an investigation where many, many millions of dollars has been spent. and there is no collusion. we are supposed to be on collusion. there is no collusion. and i think that it is very bad for our country. i will tell you. i think that it is a shame. and april came out today, by the way, from nbc at least i saw itf the people do not agree with the mueller investigation or was not approved. they have approval and disapproval, and it had a much higher disapproval rate. it should end. because it is very bad for our country. and i m not just talking about the tremendous expense. and the other thing is, they should look at the other side also. they only look at one side. they are not looking at all of the things that came up during
democrats come and nancy pelosi, a short form stimulus program under george bush. you could have a republican president and democratic economic policies. it is not a top of line and type of discussion for lot to people who are looking at these issues. it is very revealing that in fact that we have a strong economy and president trump has continued the present obama economic recovery, has were a look for midterm president. president trumps records. a bomb didn t do so well either. the point is simply, you don t see republicans campaigning on the tax cut because they know it is a nonstarter with the voters. the deficit of course is the highest since world war ii. all of this is sort of amazing. he could for a more nonconfirm for brett kavanaugh brett kavanaugh, anyone who has had this much at the guy, of course there will be a high disapproval
don t vote in mid-terms to vote in the mid-terms for the first time or first time in a while. that can be heavy for some folks. suburban republicans need to somehow be i m a republican and i will be with the president, but not when it s better for the district or when i think he s wrong. can you sell that argument? look how closely things track. 43% approve and 53% disapprove. 53% democrat, 42% republican. the vote for democrats in the congressional ballot is the president s disapproval rate. you can break from him or are you stuck with him? the candidates are ones who have been laying that ground work for a while. you can t just turn that on in three weeks or etch a sketch to use an example. you have candidates saying let s take a will herd. he s a republican member of congress and a district that is not a favorable district to
numbers like donald trump is facing right now. the latest poll shows him with a disapproval rate at 36%, the lowest it has been in his presidency. can he still be an asset to some candidates across the country? sure. i expect in red state in particular in red state senate races. in montana and north dakota, indiana, those west virginia, those states where trump won missouri. those are states that trump won by large percentage points, in the upper double digits. even if the republican candidate running in any one of those senate seats maybe gets 10 percentage points less, they may still be padding their possible win by five to eight percentage points. i think in the senate races, he is going to be very effective. i also thing in some house
