a great gift. rachel, good to see you. i m katy tour, in for lawrence o donnell. there s a weird vibe in the west wing. that s how reporters put it tonight. what s going to happen to john kelly. there s talk of kelly s resignation or firing grows. kelly was having a rough week after rob porter resigned after allegations of spousal abuse from two of porter s ex-wives was made public. now it s worse. tonight a white house aide has resigned. david sorenson is also stepping down. the washington post reports that he was violent and emotionally abusive during their two and a half year marriage, allegations that he denied. saying she was the one who victimized him. more details on those allegations in a moment.
might not end up bujing because there are two important dynamics at play, katy. on the one hand you have president trump p standing with democrats and independent ents and both national polls end up showing that just about 5% of democrats approval of are his job. just about 35% of i understand pentsds approval of it as well, which is historically low for a president at this stage. then on the other hand you have 90% of republicans or 85, maybe a little bit less backing president trump, and that creates this stagnant situation, as you pointed out, where his trump s aprooul rating hovers anywhere between 35 and 40%. and it s done that for the last two or three months. and is that bad news for him, mark? is that ultimately going to get lower? is it going to mean that the independence, the soft democrats, the moderate republicans who supported him at the end of the election, maybe the ones who held their nose at hillary clinton are just going to say you know what, audioos.
