| 0:00.0 | This morning I welcome Andrew Wilson, who is the political director for the Lincoln Project and a nerdy pollster, which I love. |
| 0:13.0 | So welcome. Thanks for being on. |
| 0:15.0 | Good morning. Thank you for having me. |
| 0:17.0 | Okay. So many questions about all these numbers that were soon up. Like his approval rating is in the shitter. |
| 0:24.2 | Yes. If you'll pop up the latest one. So overall approval, 33%, Republicans inexplicably at 68%. |
| 0:33.5 | Independence 23 and Democrats 3. Talk about these numbers and if he can rebound from these numbers. |
| 0:42.6 | Well, I'll tell you right off the bat. |
| 0:44.0 | He cannot rebound from this. |
| 0:45.5 | I can't think of a good example of a president rebounding from this kind of polling ebb. |

| 1:19.7 | really turning on Trump and it comes down to the economy and Iran. It's pretty much that simple. |
| 1:29.5 | And we'll keep seeing them fall off, right? They're not excited about anything that he's doing. They think he's distracted with |
| 1:34.1 | the DC projects and the war in Iran, the ballroom. And so you saw independence on there. |
| 1:40.7 | That is a devastating number for any candidate. If you're looking at 70 plus percent disapproval on any issue on any candidate, you're |
| 1:49.1 | screwed with independence. |
| 1:53.4 | If you look at the whole matrix of issues with independence, it's two to one against |
| 1:57.8 | on almost every single thing. |
| 2:00.8 | And that was a huge part of his 2024 coalition. |
