WHETHER HE WOULD TELL HER WHAT HE DECIDED, AND HIS ANSWER WAS
NO. >> COMING UP, THE TALKS WITH THE
DEMOCRATS, PRESIDENT TRUMP SEEING SOME IMPROVEMENT IN THE
LATEST ROUND OF POLLING. A NEW POLL SHOWS THE APPROVAL
RATING AT 43%. THAT'S THREE POINTS HIGHER THAN
AUGUST. 52% OF AMERICANS DISAPPROVE WITH
THE PRESIDENT'S JOB RATING. THE NUMBERS IDENTICAL TO
POLITICO MORNING CONSULT POLL FINDS THE PRESIDENT WITH A NET
NEGATIVE RATING IN SINGLE DIGITS, 40% APPROVE, 49%
DISAPPROVE. "THE WALL STREET JOURNAL" POLL
FOUND 70% OF AMERICANS SUPPORT THE RECENT DEAL WITH DEMOCRATIC
LEADERS TO PROVIDE HURRICANE RELIEF AND KEEP THE GOVERNMENT
OPEN FOR 90 DAYS. MARK HALPERIN --
>> IT'S PHENOMENAL. >> WE KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE A
BIG NUMBER. BUT 71%.
>> IT'S A 70/30 PROPOSITION. YOU HAVE ALL THESE PEOPLE ON THE
FAR, FAR, FAR RIGHT BASICALLY DOING WHAT STEVE BANNON DID
FOREVER. AND IT MATCHES UP WITH EXACTLY
WHAT WE'VE BEEN SAYING AROUND THIS SET FOR SEVEN AND A HALF
MONTHS, THAT THE PRESIDENT IS PLAYING TO 30% AND WORKING TO
ENGAGE 70%. GUESS WHAT.
HE REVERSED THAT WHEN HE STOPPED LISTENING TO THE MOST EXTREME
VOICES ON THE FAR RIGHT ON TALK RADIO WHO MAKE MONEY BY WHIPPING
UP THEIR BASE AND SO WHAT'S HAPPENING?
HIS POLL NUMBERS ARE GOING UP? >> WE KNEW THE PRESIDENT WAS
ENTHUSED BY THE NEWS COVERAGE OF THE DEAL.
THAT 71% NUMBER WILL GET IN FRONT OF HIM.
HE'LL SEE IT AS REINFORCEMENT THAT THAT'S THE MOOD OF THE
COUNTRY. IT'S HARD TO GET 71% YES ON
ANYTHING GIVEN HOW POLARIZED THINGS ARE.
THE OTHER THING THAT RELATES IS ALL THE CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS,
PELOSI AND THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICAN LEADERS HAVE LOW
APPROVAL NUMBERS. ALTHOUGH THE PRESIDENT IS LOW BY
HISTORIC STANDARDS, HE IS THE KING OF THE HILL.
HE IS THE MOST POPULAR OF THE LEADERS IN WASHINGTON.
AND THIS NUMBER, I THINK WILL REINFORCE THAT HE HAS THE
LEVERAGE AND THE FREEDOM TO MAKE MORE DEALS.
>> YOU REMEMBER THE TWEET FROM CONGRESSMAN STEVE KING AFTER THE
DEAL WHERE HE SAID THE BASE IS GONE.
THERE'S ANOTHER POLL THAT CAME OUT YESTERDAY, THE MONMOUTH
POLL. THIS IS TRUMP VOTERS ASKED HOW
THEY FEEL ABOUT HIM WORKING WITH DEMOCRATS.
ONLY 8% SAID THEY DISAPPROVED OF HIM WORKING WITH DEMOCRATS.
75% IN THE POLL SAID HE WAS WORKING THE RIGHT AMOUNT WITH
DEMOCRATS OR HE SHOULD WORK MORE WITH HIM.
IN TOTAL, IT WAS 85% THAT THOUGHT HE WAS DOING THE RIGHT
THING BY GETTING SOMETHING DONE. HE'S IN GOOD STANDING WITH THEM.
>> STEVE KING TWEETS OUT HE'S GOING TO LOSE HIS BASE.
ANN COULTER SAYS HE SHOULD BE KILLED.
HE SHOULD BE IMPEACHED. MIKE PENCE SHOULD BE PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES. SEAN HANNITY DECLARED IT'S OVER,
EXCLAMATION POINT BECAUSE HE WAS WORKING IN A BIPARTISAN WAY.
OF COURSE, WE SAID ON THE SHOW, AS WE'VE SAID FOREVER, ONLY
BECAUSE WE'RE RIGHT, THAT HE SHOULD WORK WITH DEMOCRATS.
THAT THIS -- AMERICANS ARE SICK AND TIRED OF WASHINGTON BEING
SEEN NOT WORKING, AND THEY WILL MOVE TO SOMEBODY THAT CAN MAKE
REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS WORK TOGETHER.
THE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN PLAYING THE LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR,
PLAYING TO HIS LOWEST 30%, JUST 30 %, MIKA.
HE'S REVERSED THE EQUATION. >> HE HAS.
>> MIKA, LET'S GO THROUGH THE NUMBERS.
PEOPLE ARE DRIVING. >> ALL RIGHT.
>> AND PRETTY GOOD. >> STILL VOTERS DON'T SEEM TO
AGREE -- >> HOLD ON.
THE SCREEN, 83% OF REPUBLICANS ARE APPROVING OF THE PRESIDENT
FROM EIGHTY. INDEPENDENTS HAVE JUMPED TO 41%
NOW. DEMOCRATS UP 2 %.
>> OKAY. VOTERS DON'T SEEM TO AGREE WHEN
THE PRESIDENT SAYS HE'S ACCOMPLISHED MORE.
>> HE HASN'T. >> WELL, YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT IT
FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE. PERHAPS HE'S CREATED MORE
DIVISIVENESS THAN ANY OTHER PRESIDENT, AND JUST 33% THINK
HE'S ACCOMPLISHED EITHER A GREAT DEAL OR A FAIR AMOUNT.
66 % BELIEVE HE'S ACCOMPLISHED ONLY SOME OR VERY LITTLE AS
PRESIDENT. AND ON ISSUES, 41 % APPROVE THE
PRESIDENT'S HANDLING OF THE ECONOMY.
36% BACK HIS APPROACH TO NORTH KOREA.
27% SUPPORT HIS STAND ON HEALTH CARE AND SOME OF HIS WEAKEST
APPROVAL MARKS SURROUND HIS USE OF TWITTER AND HIS RESPONSE TO
THE DEADLY EVE
