Tomorrow night is election night. It's going to be an unusually interesting and unusually high stakes election night for an off year election, right? Obviously, this is an odd year election. It's 2025. This is not a presidential election year. This is not a midterm year. Usually you think that elections in a year like this would be sleepy, not this year. This year, there's so much

0:22.7

that is at stake, but also so much that's legitimately unpredictable in terms of how it's

0:28.4

going to work out. Our rolling coverage will start here on MSNBC tomorrow night at 6 p.m.

0:34.6

Eastern. I will be here starting at 7 p.m. Eastern tomorrow night until midnight or

1:43.7

New CNN poll shows that Donald

Trump has never been more unpopular than he is right now. Donald Trump's disapproval rating

1:53.8

in this new CNN poll, it's actually higher. His disapproval rating is higher than it was in the

immediate aftermath of January 6th.

2:04.1

After January 6th, a whopping 62% of Americans said they disapproved of Trump.
