Scarborough: I’ve Never Seen a President Who Is So Upside-Down with Independents as Trump Is

SCARBOROUGH: "And there’s so much more. But Jonathan Lemire, the numbers, and we’ve all talked about it, the numbers with Hispanics have dropped. The numbers, actually, with non-college white voters, his real base, have also dropped. But most alarmingly, for Republicans, most precipitously has been the drop among independents. I’ve got to say, I started following politics closely, you know, probably 40 years ago, but since my time in Congress, Florida, I’ve never seen a president who’s as upside-down with independents as this president is. And I’ve also seen a president less concerned about it. He’ll complain sort of off — you know, off the cuff in press conferences about it. But he really doesn’t -- he either doesn’t have the ability to do anything about it, he doesn’t have the ability to work with others to figure out how to bring those numbers back up, or he just doesn’t care at this point. And here’s why it matters, not to Donald Trump. Here’s why it really matters to the election. Because just about every pollster will tell you the most important number in predicting what party is going to do well in an off-year election is the president’s approval rating. And this president’s approval rating is disastrous right now for any Republicans in any swing states, any swing seats that — you know, that they want to win. And those numbers are extraordinarily low. We saw Joe Biden several years ago use the State of the Union two years in a row to begin his recovery, and it helped him out."
