CNN host has a warning for Trump as she says his approval ratings are 'deeply underwater'

Story by Scarlett O'Toole • 4h •

Donald Trump won't be happy with CNN as anchor Abby Phillip ridiculed his approval ratings, suggesting the president is "deeply underwater."

Phillip clashed with political commentator Scott Jennings on Tuesday's episode of CNN's NewsNight as Jennings tried to claim Trump's approval rating has improved. However, Phillip pointed to recent polling which shows Democrats currently have an advantage.

According to the latest Gallup poll, 48% of Americans identify as Democrats, compared to 41% who consider themselves to be Republicans. Before last year's election, Republicans were ahead of Democrats. Phillip reported, "[CNN host] Harry Enten pointed this out this morning, in the first part of this year, the generic ballot – Democrats versus Republicans – was basically tied. Now, Democrats have an advantage."

Phillip continued, "They are getting, I don't wanna say more popular, that might be overstating it, but they are improving, even while there's a shutdown. So the political incentives are not working in the Republicans' favors right now."............................

Kings never worry about ratings. They just surround themselves with more yes men and protection.

He’s like the 9 yr old bully boy at Christmas breaking the other children’s toys because the children don’t want to play with him. …

No Kings sent a message and he destroyed the East Wing … what next ?
