Abby Phillip Claps Back at Scott Jennings’ Claim That Trump’s Approval Rating Is Up

Abby Phillip Claps Back at Scott Jennings’ Claim That Trump’s Approval Rating Is Up: ‘Still Deeply Underwater…56 to 42’
CNN NewsNight host Abby Phillip added some humorous context to Scott Jennings’ claim that President Donald Trump’s approval rating has risen.

On Tuesday’s show, Phillip pointed to some polling ahead of next year’s midterm election, indicating that Democrats currently have an advantage. According to the latest Gallup poll showing that 48% of Americans consider themselves Democrats, compared to 41% who identify with the Republican Party. Before last year’s election, Republicans led Democrats.

“One curious thing, [CNN data dude] Harry Enten pointed this out this morning, in the first part of this year, the generic ballot – Democrats versus Republicans – was basically tied,” Phillip said. “Now, Democrats have an advantage.”
