MSNBC: New Gallup Poll 44 Percent Americans Approve Trump as President

‘Bill Clinton got elected in 1992 with 43% of the vote’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
SCARBOROUGH: "Yeah, let's look at the latest Gallup poll that has just come out. Donald Trump got really beaten up badly during the government shutdown, but the latest Gallup polls show he's up to 44%, his disapproval down from 59% in mid January from 52%. It's a heck of a turn around. Unfortunately this goes back to what I've been telling audiences for a very long time and unfortunately you've had to hear me talk about time and time again how one party gets elected, they overreach and then it actually helps the party that has just been defeated. Donald Trump obviously did well because he had a lot of the country's eyes and ears during the state of the union address, even though it was a rambling as though "The Wall Street journal" said, this jig-jag sort of thing, but he had his closing argument, just like in El Paso, he had a closing argument and the closiment was made up of mistakes, unforced errors the Democrats already made, you can talk about the botched forecast for the green deal, can you talk about what's going on in Virginia, the blackface controversies there, the late-term abortion celebrations, the New York legislature. You can talk about a lot of these different things that, again, a reason to say don't look at the mistakes I've made, I'm here to protect you from the extreme Democrats. I know of what I speak because Bill Clinton got elected in 1992 with 43% of the vote. People like me got elected in 1994. We immediately went too far right and what did we do? We re-elected Bill Clinton. And I've said time and time again bush won in 2004, they talked about a permanent Republican majority, two years later, Nancy Pelosi elected speaker of the house. It was supposed to be an ascendent majority. People said you overreached. The tea party. The tea party overreached, Barack Obama was reelected, two years later, Donald Trump was elected. Democrats get elected, have only been there for two months and they've already given Donald Trump his closing argument for the 2020 campaign. Now, listen, I'm not telling Democrats to be what they are not, Mika. I am just going to repeat what I said before yesterday and that is before you hold a press conference, before you put your talking points up on your office thing, before you say anything that you think is going to be controversial, ask yourself a question, wwnd -- what would Nancy do? Because she has already proven she knows how to defeat Donald Trump. There are a lot of young Democrats that haven't even been in Congress for two months, and they are offering Donald Trump way too much fodder. Yes, he's a hypocrite. Yes, he's a racist. Yes, he is all the things that we say he is every single day, but unlike and '94 Republicans, we had newt to go to and his ideas were crazier than ours. They have somebody who knows how to went and put to the the largest majority since watergate and somebody who knows how to beat Donald Trump. Democrats can't afford any more unforced errors because all they are doing is making the once."
