Tia Mitchell: President Trump’s Approval Ratings ‘Are Going Way Down’

RUSH EXCERPT:

Mitchell: “In this urgency, not only inside the White House, I think, from some of Trump‘s closest advisors, but they‘re hearing it from members of Congress who are on the ballot later this year who know that not. Is it just the president‘s approval ratings that are going way down, in part because of the war and its effect on gas prices and fertilizer and all the other things. But they‘re worried that every indication is that Democrats have started winning, and they‘re winning because American people are saying they want a change. They‘re not liking what they see in the White House. We know midterms tend to be a referendum on the White House, on the president. So there‘s just a lot of hand wringing. The Iran war isn‘t the only thing, but it is a big thing. Again, it goes down to basic pocketbook issues for a lot of voters, gas being, you know, a huge indicator because we‘re such a vehicle heavy society. And the White House and Republicans in Congress are very aware of that. They want this war to end. They don‘t want to have to vote on a war powers amendment, a war powers resolution. They Republicans have held firm. But when we get past day 60, I think it‘s going to be harder for some”
