his approval, the worst for a first-term president in the survey s history going all the way back to harry s. truman chlt only 36% ever voters say the president is doing a good job down by six points just since february. and with just a year and a half until the next presidential election, more than half of democrats say they want what you know i call anybody but biden. polling now shows the president getting trounced by both former president donald trump and florida governor ron desantis in a head-to-head match-up. donna brazil was the chair of the national committee when trump won the white house. she said her party should be worried. it kept me up and i thought they should wake up and look at those numbers. it is sober in the sense that the coalition that elected joe biden with the historic numbers that we saw in 2020, that coalition right now is fragmented. that should concern them. harris: a new op-ed is asking the tough question, do democrats need a nixon-like inter
stress when in fact it s causing mental illness, anxiety, depression, suicidal thinking. john: welcome back as america reports rolls into hour number two. i m john roberts in washington. that s pretty stunning, sandra. sandra: really serious stuff. sandra smith in new, i don t. all new at 2:00, we speak to a mother who lost her son to suicide. she blames years of heavy cannabis use that made her son s delusions worse. her story and her warning just ahead. as we top a brand-new hour, any moment now we are set to see the pentagon take questions as u.s. troops remain stationed at the southern border with thousands of migrants still making their way into this country. president biden claiming the crisis is far less serious than some feared. how do you think things are going at the border, sir? much better than y all expected. john: the president claims things are looking great, more than 83,000 migrants were detained in just the past week, and given court dates to app
independents only 36% want to see biden on the ticket. 58% say they want to see someone else. dana: if that s not enough of a warning sign, the same poll shows biden running six percentage points behind trump. five behind desantis. those kind of numbers have republicans pointing to a big problem for democrats. no president has ever had these kind of numbers and won in a second term. if i am the democratic i would be in a panic. those are dismal numbers, not just bad, they re dismal. it really shows that even democrats don t believe he has what it takes to go to a second term. bill: mark meredith leads a new hour live at the white house with more on this, if there is much reaction. good morning. there is reaction. good morning to you. the next presidential election is still 547 days away. but as you were just talking about with dana the latest polling shows the president has an uphill battle ahead of him including with his own party. the poll took a look at the preside
even terrorists among them. i m harris faulkner and you are in the faulkner focus. those are the stakes. in 12 hours and 58 minutes from now, it will be the end of the trump-era measure that allowed the immediate expulsion of border crossers and it was working. some 3 million have been sent back under title 42. on biden s watch, we are watching it expire and people are desperate to cross over the border and they are now waiting en masse for midnight to come. the situation is this. the lifting of the title 42 public health order does not mean our border is open. it is going ton an invasion like we ve never seen in the history of this country. i won t turn myself in. every town in america is now a border town because president biden has brought this crisis to them. a lot more money for the border patrol. they didn t do it when i asked congress. the president said he wanted a humane policy. what is humane about migrants dying and uncode children. that s insaid. t
instead they will be bogged down in paperwork and taking agents away from doing their job at the border. immigration courts are pectize up already and the caseload is getting worse by the day. a texas lawmaker says the biden administration should be sending more judges to border towns instead of u.s. troops. the way it stops is instead of the president sending 1500 u.s. troops to the border, he should send 1500 immigration judges. dana: david spunt is live at the justice department as it gets underway. 2.1 million cases, that s the backlog as of this morning. think about that for a moment. that number only expected to grow when title 42 is lifted. that number will only swell over the coming weeks and coming months. right now the backlog is about 4 to 6 years. some experts say it could go 8 to 10 years to get into court to hear your case because of title 42. one of the reasons only about 600 immigration judges right now that are active in the united states. obviously the
