poll. 90% of republicans approve of the job the president s doing. this is going to be a really critical number that a lot of republicans in congress are going to pay attention to, which is why we may not see as many cracks as we think we could. and then i want you to look at where the president is historically at this point in his presidency compared to his modern day predecessors. he s down here near the bottom. only jimmy carter was worse at this point in his presidency, but he has some company in the mid to upper 40s. the four gentlemen ahead of him in that 40% range in the upper 40s, they were all reelected to second terms. yeah, 90% of republicans as you point out still supporting president trump. that tells you all you need to know. that tells you what republicans in congress are thinking, what voters are thinking. what republican voters are thinking. it tells you what republican voters are thinking, but it s also, i think, good for all voters to hear that so that they hav
85% say they want impeachment dropped altogether. like everything this year, this has to be looked at through the lens of the 2020 presidential race. especially among those democrats. that s where you see an increasingly predictable divide along the ideological spectrum. only 37% of joe biden s supporters who are more likely to consider themselves moderates are interested in starting impeachment hearings now. compare that with the more progressive candidates. sanders, warren, harris. support for impeachment among their voters is in the mid to upper 40s. of course, whether the candidates stand won t matter if these candidates oust him from office at the ballot box. politically speaking, impeachment is not likely to go away, at least as a wedge issue. robert mueller will testify about his russia investigation before the end of the month. and president trump is likely to run against the idea of impeachment no matter what speaker nancy pelosi decides to do about it in congress. when we com
overnight tonight and into your sunday. here s your overnight lows. you are seeing that we re at them. 30 in detroit. so not a huge difference there. and it will have to warm up in chicago to get down to that early morning low for tomorrow. you begin to see the temperatures climbing just a little bit for you on sunday. running become down into the 40s, mid to upper 40s in some cases. the same will be true for us on monday. then more of a heat-up begins to pump in on tuesday and wednesday and we ll bounce back into the 50s. and things will be feeling more comfortable after dealing with cool weather here. otherwise, mostly clear conditions across the country. a little bit of a mix in the plains states. our next big system is coming in from the pacific northwest. we re looking at a rain system. upper elevations and snow. this is beginning tonight, running into tomorrow. at times, we ll look at very heavy rainfall.
does it behoove the administration some way, somehow to drag out this russia stuff? because then you don t have people talking about the issues that really matter in terms of the democrats. does it hurt them to not focus on obamacare, obamacare, obamacare, here s how you re going to get hurt. instead we re going to talk about russia, russia, russia. when the president came out with this obamacare the bill hadn t been released so we didn t have something to distract from and as we have seen with the president s poll numbers they re in a pretty good place for him. they re in the mid to upper 40s and that s since he went live with his twitter tirade about wiretapping and i do think the president likes to do is sew chaos and distrust in u.s. institutions because if people can t trust institutions they should only trust him at least for his base. no actually it doesn t.
most primarily into scotland and perhaps into noern ireland. as we go into tuesday. we re already seeing yellow and red alerts across some sections of the united kingdom. they re waiting for the monsoon to really begin to develop. that will break the heat wave. in some cases it says it claimed 2,000 lives or 1800. it won t be abated until we see the monsoonal moisture. you can see the representative temperatures already in the mid to upper 40s. back to you, george. karen, i know that people in that part of the world are looking for some relief to the heat so hopefully that will happen in good order. karen, thank you so much. a pilot is making his way right now to hawaii as part of an around the world journey that is fueled solely by the power of
