00:00We are now six months and about three days into this Trump administration.

00:04The president is touting it as some of the most successful six months any president has ever seen.

00:10But what do the voters think about that and his job in general?

00:15CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten is here.

00:19So the president says things are great. What do the voters say?

00:23No, I think is the answer.

00:25Six months in, the rules of political gravity absolutely apply to Donald Trump and the USS Donald Trump is taking on a lot of water.

00:33What are we talking about? Trump's net approval rating.

00:34Look, he started off back in January plus six points on the net approval rating.

00:38Minus three in March, minus seven in May.

00:41And now he's at a term too low at minus 11 points.

00:46His net approval rating has dropped nearly 20 points in the aggregate since the beginning of his presidency.

00:51The American people do not like what they're seeing.

00:54And Donald Trump's administration is in a ton of trouble at this point in the minds of the American voters.

00:59Well, on what issues do the American voters seem to disapprove of him?

01:03They disapprove of him on all of the issues.

01:06He's underwater on all the major issues of the day.

01:08Trump's net approval rating on all the major issues.

01:10Minus five points on immigration is best issue.

01:13He's underwater.

01:13How about the economy?

01:14That was what he was elected for.

01:16Minus 14 points.

01:17How about foreign policy?

01:18Minus 14 points.

01:19How about trade in those tariff wars?

01:21Minus 15 points.

01:22And, of course, the Epstein case, the lowest of the bunch.

01:25Minus 37 points.

01:2637 points below water.

01:29My goodness gracious.

01:30On every single issue, Donald Trump is below water on all the major ones.

01:36They're all dragging him down.

01:37No matter, it seems, what Donald Trump does, the American people do not like it.

01:42And that is why, at this particular point, he's at a term too low.

01:46It's interesting because this is the issue that may be on the top of many people's minds

01:49as members of Congress head home for this extended summer recess.

01:53And it's his worst one.

01:54I'm not sure that House members will be excited to see that number as they leave Washington today.

01:58So where does his overall approval rating stand compared to other presidents?

02:02Okay, I do have one piece of good news for Donald Trump and that there is one other presidency

02:07that has a lower net approval rating at this point than this one.

02:11The bad news is that it was Donald Trump's other presidency, his first presidency.

02:16Net approval rating six months in.

02:18The worst was in 2017.

02:19Donald Trump was 16 points underwater.

02:21The second worst, however, is this Donald Trump presidency.

02:2511 points underwater.

02:26The average president at this point since 1953 has a plus 27 net approval rating.

02:34John, do some quick math.

02:35It seems to me that Donald Trump is about 40 points lower than the average president at

02:40this particular point.

02:41He has the second worst net approval rating at this point.

02:44He is underwater on all the major issues of the day.

02:46The bottom line is six months into this administration, I think that most Americans would apply the word

02:52or words, disaster, terrible, awful, horrible.

02:59I think that is the way that the American people would see it at this particular point.

03:02He is so far below underwater compared to the average president.

03:05The only one he beats out is him in term number one.

03:08And I don't think that's exactly the metric he wants to be applying to himself.

03:11Interesting to see which direction it will go next.

03:14Harriet, and thank you very much.

03:16Thank you, my friend.

03:16Six months since President Trump returned to office.

03:19He says it has been a massive success.

03:21What does the rest of the country think?

03:22My panel joins me now to discuss Congressman Richie Torres, Democrat of New York.

03:27Six months in, what do you think?

03:29Well, the majority of Americans disapprove of Donald Trump.

03:32You know, he promised to end the war in Ukraine, and so far has failed.

03:37He promised to release the Epstein files, so far has failed.

03:40He said he would never touch Medicaid.

03:42He's cutting it by a trillion dollars.

03:44And his economic policy has wreaked havoc on the U.S. economy since Donald Trump's inauguration.

03:52We've seen an 11 percent decline in the value of the dollar, the steepest decline in more than a half a century.

03:59And a 10 to 11 percent decline in the value of the dollar raises the cost of imported goods by 10 percent.

04:04So it's the equivalent of a $300 billion hit in Trump tax on American families and businesses.

04:10So it's been a disaster.

04:11Former Republican Congresswoman Herrera Butler, I assume you disagree?

04:15Well, I think that he's doing the things that they expected him to do.

04:19Whether or not they're feeling the impacts of that yet is what remains to be seen.

04:22Inflation went up last week from June, right?

04:24So these are things that are coming.

04:26Double-digit premium increases for health care, I saw in several states next year.

04:30So people will feel it.

04:31But right now, he's actually, he took the chainsaw to things that they believe were broken anyway.

04:36I mean, the government's broken.

04:38This further Epstein, you know, debacle is evidence that it's broken.

04:42So I don't think, I don't think, I think it's way too soon to say that they think they're unhappy with what he's doing.

04:47I think he's doing what they expected.

04:49Let's go to the polling, if we could, in the control room there for number two.

04:52The CNN poll shows that nearly 60% of Americans disapprove of his job as president.

04:58And he is losing ground on some key issues.

05:0142% approve, 58% disapprove.

05:04And when it comes to key issues, disapprove 60% on the economy and 58% on immigration.

05:11I'm surprised to see numbers like that on the economy and immigration.

05:14Are you?

05:15Very much so.

05:16But I'm not surprised in the sense that if you look in the first term,

05:19when they tried to pass the first tax package, it was very unpopular then,

05:23and you saw his numbers take a hit.

05:24But then you sort of fast forward 18 months later, you saw the result of that package,

05:28and his numbers improved significantly in the economy.

05:31I think it's still too early to tell.

05:32I think for his base, a lot of it will say mission accomplished, promise made, promise kept.

05:37And he's done that.

05:38You know, Doge, there's other factors.

05:39You know, he's invested more in Ukraine, which is something that the base didn't want to do.

05:45But I think overall, the first six months, they've got to be very happy where they are,

05:49especially if they believe what took place in the first term.

05:52There was a lot of criticism with the tax package.

05:54I think it was less than 55% of people approved it.

05:56And it turned out to be the most popular thing that took place in his administration.

05:59They're banking on that same result.

06:01I want to bring up the Epstein files, because, Karen, you and I were talking offline about this.

06:06And to you, this is reminiscent of a different scandal.

06:11And one, actually, you and I talked about when it happened.

06:13It is reminiscent of the scandal in the Catholic Church,

06:17because ultimately that was about an institution trying to protect itself over children who had been harmed.

06:24And we are again in a situation, it feels like, we're talking about girls who were trafficked, raped, assaulted, abused.

06:34So, in this moment, you know, the Trump administration has the opportunity to say,

06:41are you going to stand with the powerful, the men who are, were the clients?

06:46Are you going to protect these girls?

06:49And we've seen, these young women.

06:50And so, I think that, and I think for his base, that's part of what we were hearing this week.

06:56Not just the promise made, you know, this is a broken promise.

06:59But this sense of the powerful, once again, getting one over on people who are more vulnerable.

07:07And I'll just say, in talking about this poll, part of what I think is interesting when we look towards 2026,

07:12so, if they're not able to satisfy some portion of that base,

07:17I'm not saying they'll vote for Democrats, but they may not vote for Republicans.

07:21And then across the board, on the issues we've just been talking about,

07:25and I would disagree with you that what the polls have been showing consistently for months,

07:30people don't like the way he's going about what he's doing.

07:34They may say he's doing what he said,

07:35but he's actually increased support for comprehensive immigration reform among Republicans.

07:42And when these doge cuts hit, and when these Medicaid cuts hit,

07:46those impacts people, you know, it's only going to increase the people who are going to be,

07:51I think, looking for someone else.

07:53But Democrats have to do the work to earn the trust back in 2026.

07:58I mean, that's the key point.

07:59In this poll, they're talking about Democrats having the lowest favorability

08:03since polls have been taken by CNN.

08:0628%.

08:06So all that you say could be true if Democrats could find their,

08:10the leadership could find their backside with both hands.

08:12That's the one thing that's propping this up right now,

08:14is that they're not showing that leadership.

08:16Yeah, and let's talk about that,

08:17because there's this Democrats 2024 autopsy that is happening,

08:21and a New York Times story says that it is described as avoiding the likeliest cause of death, as it were.

08:27The audit, which the committee is calling an after-action review,

08:29is expected to avoid the questions of whether President Biden should have run for re-election in the first place,

08:34whether he should have exited the race earlier than he did,

08:36whether Kamala Harris was the right choice to replace him.

08:39Congressman Torres, isn't that a mistake?

08:41I mean, isn't what happened with Joe Biden, his abilities, the hiding of his abilities and all that,

08:48isn't that part of the reason that your party's approval ratings are so low?

08:52Look, we should be open and honest about the failures that led to the 2024 debacle.

08:58An autopsy should address the actual cause of death.

09:02And I felt like if the Democratic nominee, including Vice President Harris,

09:06had had the benefit of a full primary process,

09:09she would have emerged from it from a better candidate.

09:12You know, a wise person once said,

09:13that which does not kill you makes you stronger.

09:15And I feel like we're all made better, stronger, and wiser by the rigors of a full primary process.

09:19I think it was Nietzsche and it was also the title of Bruce Willis' second album, also, by the way.

09:25The thing is, is excluding those things,

09:28it goes back to the issue of the Democratic Party

09:29and why they don't have the people's trust right now.

09:32You know, it's a trust issue.

09:33They have no path to regain that trust.

09:35This autopsy could very much be that first step.

09:37But they say, trust us, but we're going to take the key components of why we lost out.

09:41So actually, in this story, there's three different things happening.

09:44There's the DNC one.

09:45There's two other efforts.

09:46But what I would agree with is part of the reason we lost is we're not doing our job.

09:51We're not talking to voters.

09:53We're getting outmanned and outgunned in digital spaces.

09:57So I hope that those efforts come back and hold on and show us that.

10:02Because one of the things many of us have said,

10:04you cannot show up six months before an election in certain communities

10:08and just expect we're just going to show up.

10:10Republicans spend off years spending money doing persuasion.

10:14We need to run a permanent campaign and we're not doing it yet.

10:18I think you've just got to be focused on the issues of the American people.

10:20They've had enough.

10:21They don't trust institutions covering up the whole Biden thing

10:24and not answering the question further.

10:26What about the Epstein files?

10:27I mean, the slogan of the Trump administration is promises made, promises kept.

10:31Do it.

10:31He made a promise to release the files.

10:33He should keep it.

10:33Okay.

10:34Thank you, one and all.
