Kornacki: Trump’s political position looks ‘an awful lot’ like it did eight years ago
President Trump’s political standing resembles his position from eight years ago, according to NBC News’ Steve Kornacki. Ahead of the State of the Union, Kornacki discusses Trump’s current approval rating and the polling landscape for both parties as midterm contests approach.
Kornacki analyzes how Trump’s support remains steady among key voter blocs, with variations by age, region, and partisan affiliation. He also notes how Democratic and Republican poll numbers have shifted in the run-up to the midterms, shaping strategic messaging for both sides.
The discussion emphasizes that Trump’s resonance with a core base persists, while broader national opinion shows volatility, potentially influencing campaign dynamics and turnout strategies as Election Day nears.
