You’re going to hear a lot this week about President Trump’s sagging approval numbers. Such as…
3 new polls out show Trump's approval rating trending in the 30s rather than the low 40s. WATCH: https://t.co/b17HpQUreP

Trump hit 61% disapproval today in Gallup. No President in history has hit this low in first elected term. Ever.
