Hello, everyone. Sarah Longwell here, publisher of the bulwark. I'm joined by our wonder Andrew

Egger, sporting his commander's gear and not his bulwark gear.

Whoa, look at that, the big reveal. I'm always in bulwark gear now. Always. The sweatshirts are so

cozy. The hats are a little too small for me. I need a haircut before I can effectively wear my

bulwark hat without looking like a little bit of an idiot these days. But I'm going to get there.

Your hair is long. Your hair is long. Speaking of taking a haircut, Donald Trump's

polling is low these days. Trump's been at a low watermark for months. The last time,

the New York Times had him at 44% was in September. Gallup has him at flat at 36%, two months

in a row. Nade Silver has him at 42% without a number above 43% since October. And this is in an environment where he's

obviously getting crushed. I want to talk about Trump's lousy poll numbers because we're in a

flood of bad news. And whenever Trump has lousy poll numbers, I always feel like that's a bit

of a bright spot, at least for me emotionally. I like that. So I want to talk first because obviously I think what people are

most interested in is how are people reacting to the Venezuela action? And the Washington Post did do a

poll right after Trump took action in Venezuela. And 37% said it was appropriate for Trump to act alone

versus 63% who said that he should have gotten congressional

approval. It's nice that a majority of Americans still believe in congressional approval.

It'd be great if the administration did. 24% approval for the U.S. taking control of Venezuela

and choosing its new government versus 45% disapproving, which means that there's a lot of people

who don't know still.

And only 6% saying the U.S. should decide the future leadership of Venezuela versus 94% who say it

should be the Venezuelan people. It's pretty good. What do you make of that?

Yeah. So there's a couple important things, I think, to pull out from the Venezuela polling in particular.
