What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA new Fox News poll has Trump's overall approval at thirty-six percent, with sixty-four percent disapproving, the lowest for either of his terms.

  2. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentEarlier tonight it was twenty-two percent on inflation specifically, so the overall number just caught up to the grocery store.

  3. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI said this would happen. I said it at brunch, loudly, and a woman at the next table clapped.

  4. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentYou said it would rain.

  5. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAnd it did rain, in a way, politically. I'm basically a pollster now, complete with clipboard and lanyard.

  6. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentIf you're a pollster, then I'm the margin of error, because I'm the only one here who's ever wrong and still gets paid.

  7. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt's a Fox poll. Everybody who hated polls last week loves this one, and everybody who loved them is suddenly an expert on sampling.

  8. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorLet me finish, Hank, because the sampling was lovely, and I'd like to thank every voter personally.

  9. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThirty-six percent is roughly one in three, which is also how many people I've muted this week.

  10. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorOrder. We need order.

  11. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorFine, itemized, the whole night, what's the total at the register?

  12. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorToo much. Keep the receipt.
