Underwater: Trump at 100 days

This week’s show is sponsored by: EPIC-MRA Public Opinion Research MIRS News Fulton Fish Market Mike Lukovich-Atlanta Journal Constitution The “Underwater” episode of A Republic, If You Can Keep It isn’t a tribute to Jacques Cousteau, Lloyd Bridges or the Navy’s submariners … but the reality facing Donald Trump as he approaches the 100 day mark. At this point in his administration he’s the most unpopular President this century. The only other president whose job approval has been this low after 100 days – Donald Trump in his first term. His 44% net approval is 10-to-20 points below the favorability ratings of Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama … and Joe Biden.
