0:00.0 | Welcome to The Beat. I'm Ari Melbourne. Our top story tonight is the kind of public rejection that a politician faces, which can actually define our coming era. |
0:09.2 | Donald Trump was sworn into the second term. |
0:11.6 | 95 days ago. Maybe it feels longer for some, maybe shorter for others who are busy just living their lives and not tracking the U.S. government by the day. |
0:20.0 | But it's certainly long enough for a lot of people to now be not tracking the U.S. government by the day, but it's certainly long enough |
0:21.2 | for a lot of people to now be living in the reality of President Trump governing the nation. |
0:27.4 | And you can compare that in our lived reality to the campaign pledges that he made, of lower prices, |
0:32.6 | for example, compared to today's rising prices, from fixing the economy and having a big boom cycle to |
0:40.0 | trillions lost over this tariff war. So the new polls show Americans overwhelmingly rejecting |
0:46.0 | Trump's governing so far. The public not only souring on his overall leadership and economic |

1:13.5 | bigger gap between the parties lately. Democrats have struggled with voters who didn't go to college, |
1:18.7 | but non-college and college grads, both groups, oppose what they've seen so far. These findings |
1:26.8 | are just a really long ways from the campaign era. |
1:30.0 | Now, you remember, Democrats face those incumbent headwinds. They also swapped in a new candidate |
1:35.0 | later than any other presidential race in history. But for all the bluster, I mentioned that |
1:40.1 | tonight because it might seem like ancient history, but even that was a close national race. |
1:44.0 | Trump won by under two points. He had about 50% of the total vote. We're not going to do a lot of |
1:49.5 | math tonight, but with these new polls and they're ricocheting and Maga World and on Fox, |
1:53.3 | keep that November number in mind, 50%. Because maybe the idea of Trump after four years off |
