One down, 47 to go.With Donald Trump's first month in office coming to a close, we are seeing something that feels a bit more familiar. According to three recent polls, his approval rating is now underwater—meaning more people disapprove of him than approve. This is still essentially the same conversation we were having before. There are deeply entrenched beliefs on both sides, with some convinced he is doing a terrible job and others believing he is performing tremendously.Keep Politics Politics Politics alive! Get two bonus episodes each week! Upgrade to paid!The numbers reflect this divide. A CNN SSRS poll shows Trump's approval at 47% with 52% disapproving. Similarly, a Reuters Ipsos poll reports 44% approval and 51% disapproval, while Gallup's latest survey records a 45% approval and 51% disapproval. I have seen other numbers where he remains above 50% and in net positive territory, but the general trend suggests that the more people hear his name, the less they seem to like him.Sound familiar?At the heart of this, however, is the same issue that contributed to Joe Biden's defeat: the economy. Economic fears and anxieties remain high, and now that people are reminded of both the speed and the sheer volume—both in quantity and loudness—of the Trump administration, there's a sense of, “Ah, okay, here we go again.” If the economy rebounds, Trump could find himself in a very strong position. But if it does not, whatever mandate he might have had will quickly evaporate.It's worth noting that we still have the majority of Trump's first 100 days ahead of us, though you'd be forgiven for forgetting that as it feels like he's been in office for six months.

In a dramatic shift, Vice President Kamala Harris has made significant gains against former President Donald Trump in crucial battleground states, according to a new CNN/SSRS poll. This turnaround marks a major potential change for the Democratic Party. The latest polling data reveals Harris now leads Trump in several states where he previously held advantages over Biden. In Georgia, Harris edges out Trump by a single percentage point, 48% to 47%. Michigan shows a more substantial lead for Harris at 48% to Trump's 43%. Nevada mirrors Georgia's razor-thin margin, with Harris again at 48% to Trump's 47%. Wisconsin provides Harris with her most comfortable lead, where she commands 50% of likely voters compared to Trump's 44%. While Trump maintains a lead in Arizona, where he polls at 49% to Harris's 44% among likely voters, and Pennsylvania remains deadlocked at 47%, the overall trend suggests a reinvigorated Democratic campaign. Despite Harris's momentum, the poll underscores persistent challenges for the Democratic ticket. The economy continues to dominate voter concerns across all six battleground states surveyed. On this crucial issue, Trump still holds an edge, with voters in each state favoring him over Harris when it comes to economic management. Immigration also remains a strong suit for the former president, with respondents consistently rating him higher on this issue. However, the second most important issue for voters – "protecting democracy" – could provide an opening for Harris to further solidify her position. Learn more about your ad choices.

A vitória de Javier Milei, na Argentina, pode ser uma espécie de antessala para uma outra eleição que ocorre ano que vem: a dos Estados Unidos. Em uma mensagem para parabenizar o novo presidente do país sul-americano, Donald Trump usou seu famoso slogan: “Make Argentina Great Again”. A comemoração mostra a esperança dos políticos de direita de uma inversão da onda vermelha nas Américas. Caso Trump volte à Casa Branca, dois dos maiores parceiros comerciais do Brasil estariam sob o comando de políticos pouco afeitos a Lula. Uma nova pesquisa da CNN/SSRS publicada no início de novembro, mostra Donald Trump vencendo Biden por 49% a 45%. A pesquisa revela também um profundo descontentamento com o desempenho de Biden, principalmente, no campo econômico. O levantamento mostra também que 71% dos eleitores republicanos e com tendência republicana estão extremamente motivados para votar nas eleições presidenciais do próximo ano, contra 61% dos democratas. E essa motivação pode aumentar se a tal “onda azul”, que começou pela Argentina, redobre a confiança dos trumpistas. Afinal, o que explica a liderança de Trump no cenário eleitoral americano há um ano das eleições? O que poderia significar um segundo mandato do republicano, para o país e para o mundo? E que semelhanças e diferenças existem entre Milei e Trump? No ‘Estadão Notícias' de hoje, vamos conversar sobre o assunto com o especialista em relações internacionais, professor da Universidade de Denver e pesquisador do Instituto de Estudos dos Estados Unidos, Rafael Ioris.

Okay, I KNOW I should be diving into the "woulda coulda shoulda" indictments against more than THREE DOZEN people - including two former Georgia Senators and Sen. Lindsay Graham - from that infamous-now Fulton County Grand Jury, or Elon Musk sabotaging a Ukrainian military operation, but ... I had a couple of really good conversations I wanted to share going into the weekend instead. First, Sagamore Hill Consulting principal and founder Andrew Heaton to converse as to why so many elected Democrats are silent about "Cop City," outside city hall, and how much the mayor & city have fumbled the narrative. We also discuss the Fulton Jail mess and those concerning CNN/SSRS poll numbers. Basically, I needed Andrew to talk me off the ledge. Does he? I also caught up today with Blake Schultz, who launched the @itsouratlanta accounts on Instagram and TikTok. Really cool to meet a young new-ish Atlantan getting so engaged in civic discussion and using social media to make it happen. I met him; you should get to know him, too!
The majority of Republican primary voters do not think the charges in any of the criminal cases against former President Donald Trump are relevant when considering his fitness to serve as commander-in-chief, according to a CNN/SSRS poll. With three weeks until the date U.S. Attorney David Weiss, now a special counsel, might have testified to Congress, the question of whether he'll appear at all remains open. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken made an unannounced visit to Kyiv on Wednesday morning and is expected to announce hundreds of millions of dollars of new spending in addition to the billions of extra dollars expected from Washington this week.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Former President Barack Obama is making his case for his former Vice President Joe Biden. He delivered his first stump speech Wednesday night in Philadelphia. Obama's speech represented his most direct attacks on President Donald Trump to date. In his speech, the former President criticized many of Trump's actions including Trump's tax policy. The New York Times reported, Mr. Trump's tax records show he has pursued business projects in China for years and maintains a Chinese bank account. Obama referenced this report saying in part, "If there were reports that I had a Chinese bank account, they would've called me Beijing Barry." Obama also questioned Trump's handling of the coronavirus pandemic. He said in part If Trump had "been working the whole time" the pandemic "never would have gotten this bad." While the Former President blasted Trump's presidency, Trump traveled to North Carolina, a must-win state, to rally his supporters. Obama's speech came ahead of Thursday's presidential debate. Trump and Biden will go head-to-head in Nashville, Tennesee. Trump has been lashing out at the Debate Commission rule on muting microphones. A new CNN/SSRS survey shows Biden leads comfortably in Pennsylvania, potentially the decisive swing state. So far, more than 40 million early votes have been cast.

It’s time for a new episode of Poll Party! This week, Rory and Adam kick off the episode by taking a look at a recent CNN/SSRS phone poll on impeachment that found 50% of Americans support both impeachment and removal from office. They discuss the methodology behind the survey, some of the changes in results from past waves, and explore why the results are the way are. They then tie it together with a recent poll by the New York Times and Nate Cohen that focused on six key swing states, and why the results differ from the CNN poll. Here are the details of the CNN/SSRS poll (https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/22/politics/cnn-impeachment-poll-trump-ukraine/index.html) and the New York Times poll (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/21/upshot/polls-impeachment-battlegrounds-Trump.html) They then switch gears to the Democratic primaries, with a focus on a recent USA Today poll on the Iowa Caucuses.
