MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace explains what triggered the day's 'presidential unraveling'
11 September 2019
MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace explained exactly why President Donald Trump seemed so irritated online Wednesday after he unloaded his frustrations on Twitter: a new round of worrying polls.
"Not even a trip to the Pentagon to honor the victims of 9/11 on this solemn anniversary slowed the president's steady stream of complaints and attacks today," she said. "He came positively undone about a fresh round of head-to-head polls that show him losing to nearly half a dozen Democrats."
She continued: "It's those polls that show Donald Trump's political standing may be reaching a low-point that's leading to a presidential unraveling. Here are those polls: Donald Trump loses to Joe Biden in head-to-head polling by 15 points; Donald Trump loses to Bernie Sanders by 9 points; Donald Trump losing to Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris by 7 points. And Donald Trump loses to Mayor Pete Buttigieg, should he be the nominee, by 4 points."
She noted that these findings are supported by a new Washington Post-ABC News poll that found Trump's approval rate at 38 percent, showing "that Trump's squandered summer has taken a toll."
