We believe that this would indicate that trump has been playing golf over the course o the last few hours he spent yesterday evening attacking not only mahan district attorney alvin bragg, but also the judge in new york said to oversee his case on hi social media accounts. for donald trump, this i really just a waiting game this process is out of his control. he will be a rain on tuesday he will have the charges against a red. even this will go to trial likely just a few months fro now, alex. we are also hearing fro trump s most high-profile rival, rhonda scent is who is now having to come to his defense. what are we hearing from the florida governor right, this is peak donal trump if i may we have seen this time and again over the years from th 2016 campaign throughout his presidency dating back to august when the mar-a-lago, the search warrant was executed by the fbi to loo for those classified documents you have seen republicans,
And he s not he really isn t on the ballot, but people are going to the polls as if he is. and a lot of my friends in congress are going to pay a price because of the president s behavior. yeah. let s look at this. i want to show this poll. this new poll has president trump at just 39%. that is the lowest pre-election approval rating for any president approaching the first midterm election of a presidency dating back to eisenhower. it s not good heading into these races. so many races are really incredibly close. look at that. bush was at 63%. eisenhower, 61%. you go down. that s the first bush. then you go down. no, it s not. it s president george w. bush. and then carter was at 49%. obama, 46%. clinton, 46%. . i think to acknowledge this is an outlier poll we ve had. it may be right. sometimes outlier polls do catch a swing in public opinion. it s much more negative toward
