Trump’s Poll Numbers are Better than Reported

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and Carl Cannon discuss the latest polling numbers from Real Clear Politics, including polls that measure President Trump’s approval rating and how voters respond to a generic congressional ballot question. Also, Democratic Arizona governor Katie Hobbs vetoed a Republican-backed measure that would have banned China from buying property close to U.S. airbases in the state. Is this good policy, and is it good politics? Then, they are joined by RCP White House correspondent Phil Wegmann to discuss the black-tie gala on Tuesday night hosted by the new think tank, The American Compass Institute. The event featured both Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President J.D. Vance. Can this new think tank turn Trump’s ideas into a coherent governing philosophy? Next, Carl Cannon talks to pollster John Della Volpe about his new poll for the Democratic Party looking at young male voters, just released today. The poll is part of the DNC’s two-year, $20 million initiative to study young men and how Democrats can reach them. And finally, Tom talks to Edward Yingling, co-founder of Princetonians for Free Speech, about an exclusive RCP article by recent Princeton graduate Danielle Shapiro outlining the university’s recent policies and statements on reining in antisemitism on campus.
