but that has never happen. a red warning has also never been an issue. the highest level of concern for excessive heat. 80% chance we will see record temperatures. you will notice, widespread coverage of heat begins to break down as early as wednesday into thursday. we do think at least the northern tier gets a break over the coming several days. lending goes from that incredible run of heat back down into the 20s, in line with seasonal averages and even a chance of rain showers friday afternoon. across the u.s. no such luck. big-time heat across an expansive area of the central united states. about 28 million americans under heat alert with heat indices also into the lower 40s, which sits in line with about 10521 10, depending on where you are to again from. this factors in the humidity. in the shaded feels this warm but very little changes. just about everyone in orange or yellow. very little green or yellow. that is where we are at in the
final gallup poll of the year showing his approval continuing to linger in the lower 40s. what can biden do to close that gap for the midterms and how important is the popularity of the president in the midterms? well, he goes to mass faithfully every sunday. and i think he s got to do a lot of praying while he s in there that inflation is tamped down, that the economy does improve so that people can see it and actually in many respects, it is already good. and that the pandemic fades after this variant finally hits its peak and let s hope that happens. he needs some good luck but he also needs to do the things i just suggested to get the message out about what democrats have already done. look, opinion polls and ratings of presidents, job approvals, these things change like the sun and the moon every day. okay? you ve got different phases, different things happen. presidents can go up ten points, go down ten points depending on
afternoon. even atlanta, temperatures down into the lower 40s after they were touching 80 degrees this time last week. so, again, big changes in store over the next several days. that s one element. there is a secondary system that we are also following that is pushing in across portions of the south. we think this will go sometime thursday into friday. could bring with it another round of snow showers across a lot of these areas around the mid-atlantic region or very hard hit in recent days. right now our model is not in perfect agreement about the placement of the storm, the amount of snow it will produce, but we do think it will have a chance to produce snow a little farther to the north. so some of these areas like new york and philly didn t see much in the way of snowfall could pick up a couple of inches as early as friday afternoon into saturday. we re going to watch that carefully. the temperatures, 44 in louisville, 24 across chicago. tampa, florida, not too bad. around 75 degr
below the 45, 50 degree threshold. it s cold enough to paralyze iguanas. here s what it looks like. areas of west palm beach down into the lower 40s this morning. that trend shifts to a warmer one in the coming days. what we re watching is what s playing out over the next few days, potentially around portions of the central united states. storm system on the move as it my grates farther toward the east, the element in place to produce a fair amount of wintry weather. not just snow this go around. a wintry mix lined up across the expanse of area stretching 2,000 miles. if this plays out, depending on the placement of the storm system, see the areas indicated in pink? that is all ice potentially accumulating across, say, portions of north texas, areas of arkansas, the midwest. a lot of disruption with ice in the works and in the forecast around these areas. we ll monitor this as the week progresses, isa. thank you, pedram. i look forward to the day when your screen will just be sun,
am i wrong? i do not think there is anybodyr in your audience who knows that more jobs were created in the last three years of the obama presidency than in the first three years of trump s.cr and obama did not have a big tax cut and super high and so forth, so somehow or other, obama did pretty well in terms of job growth. laura: how about wage growth? not as good as it is now. i m just saying. and yet if you talk to those blue-collar workers in terms of their expenses of health care, their lives are their lives are so much better! if they were, donald trump would not be in the lower 40s. come on. even looking at poll numbers, he s right about where obama is if not higher in terms of approval ratings but you can look at approval ratings. you look down the line in all these targeted states where i see the polling, americans are better off.
