What you don't see in that poll is how the majority of those "approvals" don't just approve of trump, they legit think he's the GOAT president!
Damn. Briana on CNN went in on that Trump 2020 comms director dude for spouting bullshit. Called him a liar to his face and told him to stop lying about *sighs* Hydrochloroquine. Those motherfuckers are STILL on that shit. Damn.
They'll NEVER let that go. It was supposed to be Trump's big victory moment against COVID.
The approval number isn't the real news, that disapproval number is like late term W. Bush level. Usually folks don't have such strong feelings about a president, only 4% not having an opinion one way or another is just crazy.
One big reason critics don't want to extend the coronavirus unemployment benefits is they're worried the extra $600 per week will keep Americans from returning to work.
But that's far from the case, according to a new analysis of workers who made more while unemployed.
The findings could help bolster the case that the jobless aid created under the CARES Act and is set to expire at the end of the month should be extended.
Seven in 10 workers who returned to a job in June were making more on unemployment insurance than their previous wages, according to an analysis of the Current Population Survey from Ernie Tedeschi, an economist at Evercore ISI and a former Treasury economist in the Obama administration. Around 65% of those who went back to work in May also took in more from unemployment, he found.
"There was no relationship in May or June between how generous your unemployment insurance was and whether or not you took a job in May or June," Tedeschi said. "There were people who had extremely generous unemployment and were making much more on [unemployment] and yet they took a job."

Extra $600 in unemployment benefits doesn't keep people from working, analysis finds
Critics call the extra $600-a-week in unemployment insurance a disincentive to work. A new analysis disputes this.
Yeah, but the real question is can Van Jones get a pre-emptive praising in before he shit's in Van's gaping maw during the presser?
Trump seems to think a vaccine is like a health pack or potion from a game where a COVID patient can be on deaths door one moment and then up and at 'em the next. As if everything is 100% back to normal overnight once a vaccine is found.
All the rumors suggest that's what this evenings briefing will be about. Trying to paint everything in a rosey, positive light to distract Americans from the constant bad news.

We already know by the numbers that this supposed boogeyman of UI impacting job demand isn't fucking true, Republicans pushed that lie and they're scaring themselves with it now which is the dumbest part. UI extension doesn't harm the labor market in aggregate in the context of ongoing pandemic effects and demographics, but you'll see GOP going with anecdotal evidence to prove their fears anyway.
People realize that no matter what happens moving forward the UI is not going to last forever. They will still accept job offers that make less than the short term benefits from UI for long term security. The behavior isn't that strange, Republicans are just to stupid to realize this.One big reason critics don't want to extend the coronavirus unemployment benefits is they're worried the extra $600 per week will keep Americans from returning to work.

Yep. It's almost like people take pride and value being productive. Understanding that UI benefits are temporary and meant to keep stability rather than abused.
Some family members have connections with TX farmers and they LOATHED the bailouts. They got paid but they'd rather be working rather than watching their supply chain and namesake business crumble in return for a "sorry I fucked up!" check, which was a slap in their face. Just anecdotal though.
Is this the first time It's hit 60%?
He'll say he "tried but the FAKE NEWS MSM are big meanies and won't give me any credit".
Will we get rally Trump or horse tranqed Trump with teleprompter?
makes sense.
Only weak willed spineless, hopeless traitors parade facism (meadows).
Lightfoot Says Agents Coming to Chicago but ‘We Don't See a Portland-Style Deployment'
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot confirmed Tuesday that federal agents are being sent to Chicago, but so far the city doesn’t “see a Portland-style deployment coming.”

Mayor Lori Lightfoot in Chicago says the feds coming to Chicago are FBI/DEA/ATF agents working with the Federal District Attorney John Lausch, not a goon squad of Border Patrol people. So hopefully that happens and not unmarked agents in vans grabbing people.
I totally agree that this is completely unacceptable. That being said, it's highly likely it would be delivered anyways. For example, you can actually just write "Internal Revenue Service" or "Department of the Treasury" on an envelope and your tax payment will arrive at the correct place MOST of the time. When it comes to government mail, the USPS generally knows where it is supposed to go.

Watch this be some total BS, like Lightfoot being way too goddamn trusting.

None of those agencies need to be present.
Unless you're talking about the ATF finally cracking down on right wing terrorists, but a hearty LOL to that.
It is a generic envelope. You need the right election office to send it to.
That part right there.
She. Always. Is.
(It's not a bad trait to have, unless one is interfacing directly with the Trump administration.)
It may vary by state. Georgia may eventually count ballots with this incomplete address on them after they eventually get matched to whatever county they're from.

I am deeply concerned about the allegations of wrongdoing issued today by the U.S. Attorney's Office. Every American has the presumption of innocence until proven guilty.
Because of the nature of these charges, it will be impossible for Speaker Householder to effectively lead the Ohio House of Representatives; therefore, I am calling on Speaker Householder to resign immediately. This is a sad day for Ohio.

Gonna go out on a limb and say they don't actually give a fuck because even the defenses sound unnecessarily backhanded.

I asked @DHS_Wolf whether DHS was planning to send more federal officers to more big cities like Chicago as President Trump said yesterday. Wolf said right now DHS is only in Portland. He added, "Portland is different than any other city ... that has what we call street crime."

It's a shamelessly low effort grift bus:
https://bangordailynews.com/2020/07...aign-event-saying-it-was-misled-over-details/
A veteran-owned Freeport brewery canceled a Wednesday campaign event for President Donald Trump that was to be headlined by the president's daughter-in-law after an owner said he was misled by the campaign about the scope of the event.
Brad and Nancy Nadeau, the owners of Stars and Stripes Brewing, reached out to the Bangor Daily News on Tuesday after an article posted on Monday night cited a Trump campaign news release saying the brewery as the first stop of a "Women For Trump" bus tour on Wednesday evening. The tour is scheduled to end on Thursday in New Hampshire.
The Nadeaus said on Tuesday they had initially been told that some members of the campaign were going to come in for a beer while getting pizza from an adjacent restaurant. Brad Nadeau said he was told late Monday that Lara Trump, the Republican president's daughter-in-law, would be there and reporters may come as well, but he did not know it would be a formal event.

Trump at last is directly appealing to Americans to cover their faces: "Whether you like the mask or not, they have an impact," he said.
