Numbers don't lie. And so Donald Trump is trying to hide all of them. I'm Jack Cottrella,

joined today by Sam Stein. And Sam, does it look like Donald Trump's polls are getting better or

worse to you? Worse. Like, they kind of have a very steady drop. It's not like a, it hasn't been like

a roller coaster dive. It's just going down like that. It's like incrementally. But the accumulative

worse is it's, it's fairly evident. Yeah. I think though his response to those polls has been like

an astronomically greater freak out because the truth social tirades have gotten a little worse.

But there are two main polls that just came out recently that really show how Trump is down in the dumps,

both economically and I guess almost technically on the war front that I want to get into.

Scott Besson is also trying to defend those numbers.

We got a lot of talk about, but I want to get in these polls first.

CBS News poll finds most would oppose U.S. military action in Venezuela, say Trump hasn't explained. That's a shocker.

The situation around Venezuela has Americans asking to know more across party lines. Big majority say

the administration needs to explain what the U.S. intends regarding any action and that it has not

done so clearly yet. Meanwhile, what Americans hear from the White House about inflation is,

they say,

not what they're actually feeling at home. What a surprise. Rising prices and worsening economic

views. And in terms of taking U.S. military action in Venezuela, only 30% are in favor of that,

according to this new CBS poll. All right, here's my hot take. The Venezuela numbers are bad, but like, I don't think they're

going to matter materially for Trump. I think people are tuning a lot of that stuff out. Obviously,

I think it would be problematic for him to go to war with Venezuela on a humanitarian, geopolitical,

and political level, but it's the inflation numbers in that poll that really sort of stood out to me. So this is the whole reason for his election. Well, not the whole reason, but a huge reason, right? It's like cost of living is up, but Biden's doing jack shit about it, elect me. I'm going to bring all that stuff down. And it's not going down. And we'll get into the actual economics in a little bit. But these poll numbers, there's two things that really stood out from me. One was the handling of the economy. Okay. So CBS does this thing, approval of Trump's handling the economy. March 2nd, it's at 51% approval. Okay, he's a couple months in. People are giving him the benefit of the dad. Things are looking good. Again, the steady decline. It goes to 44, 42, 40, a little tick up to 41, 40, 38,

it's 36 approval now. That's like Biden bad territory. It's worse than Biden. Because what was
