Richard Arnold: US Correspondent on Trump's latest poll results, national debt hitting $40 trillion

from The Mike Hosking Breakfast · host Newstalk ZB

Donald Trump is continuing to lose support in the polls.  A new poll from the American Research Group found that only 30% of those questioned approve of the way Trump is handling things – 69% disapproving of his handling of the economy.  There are big concerns even among Republicans, with 29% disapproving of the way the President is handling his job.  US Correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking it comes as the US national debt hit $40 trillion, with a third of that accumulating during Trump's terms.  LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
