About earlier. And gallup historical trend, theres a fascinating chart gallup does called president ial Approval Ratings over time. One of the things that we see is that in the early part of modern polling basically the kennedy administration, the johnson administration, those president s came to office with sky high Approval Ratings, 75, 80 of americans approved. Then nixon and carter came and it was 65, and reagan came to office and it was 60 . Bottom line we have seen a long term decline of americans willing to give any new president the doubt ben 2 benefit of the doubt when they came in. Obama was 50, and thats better than president bush and clinton. But President Trump came in, never had a favorable approval rating, been in a very narrow range. And that is because we are so incredibly polarized that were simply not willing to give the benefit of the doubt. The democrat whose are running for president right now, the vast majority of them their favorable ratings are about what their

Morning, everyone. The committee will come to order. Were here to examine the deferred maintenance needs of the public Land Management agencies. This is a topic i care about. I know each of you certainly, the folks on this committee, have expressed concern. Not just coming into this hearing today, but, really, over the years. When we consider deferred maintenance, we most commonly think of the 12 billion maintenance backlog accrued by the National Park service.
