President Donald Trump’s approval rating in a new CNN poll plunged to a low not seen since Jan. 6, 2021, but MS NOW’s Jen Psaki pointed to another number that might be even more devastating.
“The latest polling on Trump’s approval rating should be freaking people out over at the White House because, according to a new CNN poll just released today, Trump is underwater with white voters without a college degree, and for the first time ever, that deficit is outside the margin of error,” she said. “That is a huge freaking deal.”
Trump, she noted, won two-thirds of that demographic in all three presidential elections. Democrats, on the other hand, haven’t won that group since Jimmy Carter in 1976.
“And now, Trump is losing that key demographic by 8 points,” she said.
But she said there’s a reason core demographics are fleeing the president as his party heads into a crucial midterm election.
“Just consider what the man has prioritized since becoming president,” she said, and ticked off a list that includes the planned giant ballroom at the White House that he’s obsessed over as well as the botched Reflecting Pool renovation.
“It seems like every day we get a new one of these weird-looking projects, often in various shades of gold, that he’s rolling out, that he’s super focused and obsessed about,” she said.
This week, Trump even announced a renovation of Dulles International Airport in Washington and has reportedly micromanaged details such as the parking lots, buses, baggage handling and more.
“He’s really in the weeds on this one,” Psaki said.
