point. >> it's when you look at why the administration, the president and many others are skeptical, it almost invariably leads to the consequences. it's not that they have a scientific basis independent of the one being offered in the report, but they don't like what it did to the oil industry, or caps on american business that will disadvantage them, you know, again businesses abroad. it seems to be more about the implications of the science rather than a rational reason for disputing the science itself. is it not? >> that's certainly an argument that folks have made, absolutely. the real concern comes when you say, if you accept this science, what happens next? there are, of course, many folks in the client community who say that addressing climate change, you know, won't on bring -- will

bring economic opportunities, as well as obviously some pain. the, you know, conservatives, you know, looking at the possibilities of what to do to address climate change look at the landscape and say this will hurt our communities. that's a debate that's raging and ongoing and far from being resolved. >> lisa, thank you very much for sharing the conclusions in your reporting. thank you so much for having me. we're following a lot of news this morning, so let's getting right to it. >> there's no way to look at these numbers and spin it and say this is good news. >> a new cnn poll showing the president's approval rating at just 38%. >> you have republicans right now split on whether or not they believe what is being said out of the white house. >> his base and a slot of republicans are satisfied with what he's doing with national security. >> 70% of americans tell us president trump is too obvious

tweeting in response to what he's watching on television. >> the tweets have been a disaster for donald trump. >> north korea vowing revenge against new u.n. sanctions. the sanctions have been to be vigorously enforced. >> i think military options have to be on the table. >> announcer: this is "new day." >> welcome, everyone. president trump's approval rating hits the lowest point yet. in a brand-new cnn poll, just 38% approve of how the president is handling his job at six months into the term. the poll also finds an astou astounding number do not trust what they hear from the white house. >> with the president's credibility on the line, he's not doing himself any favors apparently with his frequent tweets storms, case in point -- the repeated attacks on richard

blumenthal, going after the senator as war record instead of dealing with the issue, so what is the virtue of these numbers? what is the chas for change? joe johns is live in bridgewater, new jersey, not a vacation, joe. >> reporter: not a vacation, and i've got to tell you, chris, when you look at these numbers, it is pretty clear the president has a problem, and it's in stark contrast with most, if not all of the other presidents during the age of modern polling. during the first 200 days most of them experience a honeymoon with the voters, but the russia investigation, as well as the lack of legislative accomplishments with this administration so far seem to be taking their toll. a sobering assessment from the american people of president trump's first six months in office. the president's job approval rating now at just 38%, its

lowest point in cnn polling. enthusiasm breaks against trump, with 47% strongly disapproving of the job president trump has done, compared with just a quarter who say they strongly approve. despite the president's insistence that support among his base is getting stronger, our new poll shows otherwise. 59% of republicans strongly approving of the president down 14 percentage points since february, a reality senior divorce kellie anne conway acknowledged this week. >> the approval rating is down slightly. it needs to go up. they are telling him just enact your program. >> reporter: but the most alarming figure shows the white house's growing credibility crisis, an astonishing 73% of americans do not trust most or all of what they hear from the white house. nearly half of republicans grande. americans also weighing in on the president's use of twitter. >> it's a very effective form of

communication. i'm not unproud of it. it's a great way to get a message out. >> reporter: 72% believe his tweets send the wrong message to world leaders i realize i don't think it's helpful in terms of legislation moving ahead. >> and 72% say he tweets too often, an issue that played out in real time when president trump treated with litch rather blumenthal after he appeared on cbs's "new day." >> that investigation must be pursued. >> reporter: repeatedly attacking his war report in a series of tweets throughout the day. >> i have no idea about what is in his mind. i will not be distracted by this bullies. >> reporter: the president also going after "new york times" after they published a story about vice president pence positioning him will have for a possible run. and falsely accusing the media

of not covering sanctions on north korea, after cnn covered the story extensively. the president's tweet came at the same time that jake tapper was reporting on the story. and the president continues to watch television news, also continues to tweet. 13 tweets yesterday, four so far this morning, including one talking about his briefing on the opioid crisis, which will occur later today. that will be the first time we have seen the president on this working vacation. >> thank you, joe. we have ed tier atlarge chris cillizza, cnn analyst david drugger, and karen demersia. so president trump's approval rating is only at 38%. it's always good to get historical context to get where

his predecessors were. the person closest to him was bill clinton, but then some of them, kennedy, eisenhower had soaring highs of 75%, 73%. what do you see? >> i think the comparison is good. it tells you both the danger that trump and his party face but also show you you there's time for recoveries. bill clinton was reelected in 1996, bun then the -- two things about the cnn poll. one, his numbers with republicans and non-college-educated whites are down. that means he's hurting with the republican party broughtly, he should be up around 90%, and non-college-educated whites, which we consider to be his core, enthusiastic base, also has a lower opinion of him.

what jumped out to me is can trump manage the government? with republicans and independent-leaning conservatives who lead independent, they look at his ability to manage the government at just 50%. if you look at what trump was billed as and what he's sold himself as, he was going to get to washington and run the place better. so much of the problem was stupid leader who make dumb decisions. that means it is chaos coming out of the white house, in the past six months is taking a toll. trump really has to right the ship. part of that gets to how he communication, but part of that is failure to negotiate. negotiate big legislative deals and a level on foreign policy, which makes americans comfortable. >> i was reading a pollster's take on this that phelps trump has had to work to get these bad numbers. he haus people who are sanguine

about the state of the world. he's got a good good job growth, and this is his honeymoon, period as president. do you agree with that, that this is a function of self-inflicted wounds? >> many of trump's wounds are certainly self-inflicted, some of the ways he tweets about his own administration and things happening around him. there's a tension between trump and capitol hill, and he needs congress to enact much of the aend that he puts forward. he's not a details guy, and not always in the thick of things. but there's something else i just noticed about the comparison you put up. if you look, since the '60s, you have seen the numbers guess worse and worse and worse in approval rating. so part of it is certainly self-inflicted, part of it is a reflection of the partisanship that's getting worse and worse. it's pervasive across the

country. he doesn't necessarily have a lot of goodwill to lose, and he's spent a lot of maybe what he came in, because things have not gone well. >> chris cillizza, one of the most striking if not the most striking part of this new poll is the truth level that americans have. do you truth what you hear coming from the white house, was the. only 24% said yes. that is just so striking even republicans say they're not believing the white house messaging. it's at though people have just kind of accept that you're not going to be able to believe what sort of comes out of the white house. >> and i would argue that a lot of people accepted that in the election and voted for donald trump. if you look at -- in 2016 exit polling, if you look at that

question, do you think that donald trump is honest and trust worthy, they ask that of clinton and trump, you're going to get about somewhere between 6230% and 650%. i'm getting old so my memory fails me, but it's in that range of people who said he was not honest and trustworthy. he won the election. it is stunning. so what conclusion do we draw from that? i think the conclusion we draw is that moth people, certainly lots of republicans believe all politicians are fundamentally liars. and this goes to the point that david drugger made, which is really important. that's why management is so important for donald trump. he in some ways gets a pass, because they dismiss it, but can you make deals? can you make the government run more effectively? does your business experience, as you promised, make it so that

you're going to be a better president? the first six months, 200 days, whatever marker we're using has not been reflective of what he probablied on the campaign trail. that to me -- i know this is strange, because we teach our kids to be honest and trustworthy, but can he manage the government question i think matters more to his own electoral future than the honest and truth worthy question, because of i'm not sure anyone thought he was honest and trust worthy. >> brownstein will tell you always he has to get the base up. because for the hard-working man and woman, it's about the will he get that done? but there's a different component. one theory that we heard from matt schlapp is because of us, because the coverage is so negative, it's like oozed over the president and colored

perceptions, and the other is no, it's because of what he did. he's driving the negativity by creating narratives that are often false or worse, and engendering negativity. the poll reflects the latter, his tweets, 70%, they don't think they're good for him. >> i love matt, but if we were that influential, then a lot of things in politics would look different. when i talk to republican voters, and i've spent a lot of time asking republicans how do they feel about the president's tweets and behavior versus agenda, what they have told med and what they have told a lot of us is they like the president's agenda, they don't regret their vote, because the alternative was hillary clinton, but they don't like the tweets. they don't like the weird antics, behavior, and they would like the president to do what he promised and be a leader. >> kellyanne said the same thing, by the way. >> that's key, when she says

something like that acknowledging it is legitimacy, you know she's trying to send a message. what trump has to be careful of, outside of whatever penal are percentage of his base, and we now a bit is fungible, there is a universe of republicans that were skeptical. they want to see him succeed, but if he doesn't get it done and continues to act in a way that's not presidential with the tweeting and all of that, eventually they'll wash their hands of him and at least in 2018 say i gave control to the republicans, they delivered nothing, i think i have bev things to do today, and that will be a problem for his party in 2018. >> a finer point, a couple of the numbers, 72% of respondents say the tweets send the wrong message to world leaders, not just domestically. it's to world leaders. yesterday, you know, obviously there was a tweet storm after senator blumenthal was on our

program, president trump was tweet in real time, what he had said was his war record, which of course is confusing again, because donald trump doesn't have the most illustrious military service record. >> well, twitter does go to an international audience as long as the enter net is open and free. it's both the leaders and the people of those cunning forming their own impressions. we've never done diplomacy in 140 characters or less at a time. this is a new environment we're in as twitter is a immediateual for not just controlled it -- but very genuine and sometimes impulsive ones. >> i know we have to go, but can i say one quick thing? it drives me insane. we cover what the president says and does. that's what we cover. so when you presidents tweets

things, he's the president. so yes, we cover it just like if the president put out a statement, we would cover it. this idea that somehow we are responsible for donald trump's actions, we cover the president. he's the most powerful politician person in the country. >> but he's saying we're responsible for the bad poll numbers, because we cover too much negativity. we don't cover all the positive things. >> look at his. >> what if he talked about them more. >> look at think twitter feed. what his twitter feed suggests is what he cares about. what is the dominant -- we've run graphics day after day after day, what is the dominant theme? the media and that the russian investigation is a hoax, and then personal attacks on fill in the blank politician. >> you know what? i'm going to let that hang there, chris. >> chris cillizza with the point.

>> i know. thank you very much, panel. so president trump tweeting that he plans to hold a major briefing this afternoon that will affect lots of people and people will be very interested, with the health and human secretary tom price about the opioid crisis. the president calls it a major problem for our country, it is something that the nashville mayor knows all too well, as she mourns the death of her 22-year-old max. he died last week. the mayor vows to become a voice in the crisis. listen to her describe the knock on the door at 3:00 a.m. when a police officers came to her home to deliver the news. >> he told me that max had passed away, and he had to repeat it several times, because that was not what my brain could hear. >> mayor barry's son spent a month in a rehab facility in florida last year, making her

story known. no one is immune from this scourge. i've been involved with this for about 30 years, and nobody in the community has ever seen anything like what opioids are doing. good for the president to makes hi motion on it with this commission. let's see what he does today. there are reports that google has fired the male engineer who wrote an anti-diversity memo, suggesting women are not biologically fit for tech roles. it contends women don't make up half of the company's tech and leadership positions because of differences in preferences and beens, not sexism. google's ceo condemning the memo saying it advances harmful stereotypes in the workplace. people who live in megamansions in an exclusive san francisco, are fighting back after an enterprising couple buys their entire private street.

they snatched of presidio terrace at auction for about 90 grand? that's it? in 2015? >> how does that square? >> the homeowners association not realizing there was a tax bill dating back to the 1980s. lim and chang want to cash it possibly forcing them to pay for parking privileges on their own street. >> they bought the street from the municipality. >> because it had a tax purpose. so now they own the actual -- >> wait -- >> one of the homes on the streets is worth $17 million b. youb you municipality owns the street. >> they have to pay to park? >> that's got litigation written all over it, but it's funny. >> we'll keep you posted. new polling is driving the news cycle, with good reason. it's the first solid reckoning that we see the president may have trouble with his base, and it's self-inflicted. how deep is this problem?

what is the fix? let's talk to one of the president's supporters, next. hi. i'm the one clocking in... when you're clocking out. sensing your every move and automatically adjusting to help you stay effortlessly comfortable. there. i can even warm these to help you fall asleep faster. does your bed do that? oh. i don't actually talk. though i'm smart enough to. i'm the new sleep number 360 smart bed. let's meet at a sleep number store.

cnn's new national poll paints a stark picture of the add mrgsz's credibility. it's in crisis. only one in four americans say they trust most of what they hear, even within the president's own parties, he annual only 50/50 what does the

white house do these numbers? let's discuss with shawn duffy of wisconsin. how are you doing? >> i'm well, chris, how are you? >> all right. how do you interpret these numbers. what do they mean in terms of what the white house needs to do? >> first off, take a step back. if we believe polls we would have hillary clinton getting 300 electoral votes and she would be president of the united states. with that said, i do they we have to read into these polls. >> a lot of americans don't like twitter or they think he tweets too much. i just did a town hall yesterday. his most ardent supporters will tell me that very same thing. they don't want him to get rid of the twitter, but be more judicious. the president has been a steady stream of leaks that have come

from the deep state, from the west wing itself. he's had a lot of negative stories that have come from the media and it's been relentless. i tell you, the guy has a backbone of steel, and where he's at is a testament to how stroung he is with his --. this is a national poll. if you look at my state, i tell you what, people haven't left him. i had a cutout of donald trump in our republican booth. i had streams of people wanting to take pictures with the cutout. i've been in that booth for years. i've never seen as much activity and excite as i saw this weekend. though the way we are in wisconsin is similar to michigan and minnesota that trump almost won, in piano pa, ohio, west virginia, that excitement still exists, but we have to start having some wins. we can't say we're going to be

great and do great things, but not repeal and replace obamacare. we cannot have tax reform done. we have to get the big items across the finish line. that is less about trump and more about the congress. you have a president touting the stock market numbers and what's good on. he used to say, who cares? this is about the working man and woman. how are wages do? wages are going to be a problem. there's a third point. 75%, certainly over 70% in every metric we see, it's not just the tweeting, it's not surrendering the me to the we, that this president seems obsessed with himself and what matters to him. that's what he tweets about and that's who he attacks, and he's not thinking about the american people. fair criticism 3 oy would tell

you the people i see would say donald trump cares more about me, my family and my job and policies that affect me than any president i can remember. that's why he's done so well with the rustbelt, with the average income american who 'fighting to have a shot at the american dream. they still feel like donald trump is still looking out for them. >> did they say why? >> listen, look at west virginia. i think they look at border security, trying to crush isis, growing your military, trying to fix health care and taxes, reduce regulation. those things when donald trump talks about them, he talks about them in a space that's relatable to the average american. you have to look at what's happened to democrats. you have this coastal elite party that's left the middle class alone. you can look to the rnc as evidence by this, chris. the rnc has raised twice as much money as barack obama did in the first six months that he was in the white house, and these are

small dollar contributions coming in. usually republicans don't get small dollar contributions, you get a little bigger contributions, but it's interesting to see how excited the small dollar contributor is to donald trump, but with regard to wage growth, i think that's important. you have to see people's lives get better. i did a roundtable in hudson, part of my district, and unemployment is down at 3.1%. wage growth is incredible. people are making with no skill anywhere from, you know, $12 to $16 an hour, because there's so much competitive -- so much competition for this labor force amongst a group of people who can't find people to come in and fill the jobs in their businesses. so what's happening in my district i think is going to start happening around the country, as labor tightens, wages are going to rise. >> as labor tightens, wages are going to rise. maybe, maybe not. you would have to do things

affirmatively within the corporate space to encourage them to pay workers more, which we all know, all capitalists are the same. we want to make as much money as possible, which means we keep our costs as low as possible. that's why they shipped so many jobs overseas and lean solve a innovation. what do you have in the agenda to change that? independents i think that is a little unfair. people need to make money with a great workforce and when you get a great workforce -- >> or you ship jobs overseas. that's what beef seen happen. >> we have. that goes to tax reform. we have a tax system, chris that incentivizes american business toss leave our country, where they were doing business, and manufacture somewhere else. let's fix it so it works like the rest of the world. >> any timing on the plan to

that? >> what's that? >> any timing on the plan from the without or congress on that? >> on tax reform. it's gotten more challenging sages we didn't get obamacare done, but talking to the speaker a few days ago, he hopes we get it done by deer hunting season. in wisconsin that means by thanksgiving. the house and senate have been working on this for years, but specifically and like a laser for the last eight months, trying to plan for different alternatives. i think we're in a good place to get tax reform done. if we get it done right, you will see our economy boom, better paying jobs and more businesses coming back to our country, which is what donald trump promised. can i make one other point? foxconn in wisconsin, that's huge that donald trump is looking out for middle-income americans, toyota and mazda are coming back to america. the kind of -- the kind of

investment that you have never seen. these are jobs that democrats said were gone and gone forever. donald trump is bringing back. if you don't work in wisconsin, if you don't live in wisconsin, but you're in north carolina, you still look at that aung go, damn it, that's great, i love a president who is just fighting for people just like me. or coal miners going back to work in westepennsylvania and w virginia. >> sean duffy, thank you very much for having you. always a pleasure to have you i realize thank you. there's a new government climate change report, and it contradicts what the president has said. what will the trump team do about approving this report for public release? we have mike quigley, next. whoooo.

the impact of climate change is already being felt in the united states, and human activity is the primary culprit. this is according to a draft of a government report that's been obtained by "new york times." many of the scientists involved in the report told "new york times" they're concerned that

that final version could somehow be suppressed by the trump administration who doesn't believe in the findings. let's discuss with mike quigley, a member of the house intelligence committee. congressman, thank you so much for being here. >> good morning, thank you. >> this new report is troubling. it has ominous findings. it finds that the temperature is the highest it's been in 1500 years. it finds that the temperatures, the spike in temperatures over the past decade they say can be attributable to human activity, at least by 50%. so this is not what the trump administration has publicly said their philosophy is. the apt times has called it a hoax. at times he said his word was there was some connectivity. scott pruitt says he's quite uncertain of the human beings'

role. what do you think? >> i wouldn't be surprised if they try to suppress it. look, it's a familiar pattern. as you suggested, during the campaign the president called climate change a chinese hoax. despite the individual study, there are over 12,000 peer-reviewed skrij tisk studies that say climate change is real and that man contributes to it. the trump administration cannot be allowed to suppress pure science. i challenge secretary pruitt to a public debate on climate change any time, anyway he wants to do it. i their she is concerns, and it's our role to make sure the public knows what we're dealing with. this draft report was signed off by scientists at 13 federal agencies. so what if the trump administration says we'll release the report, but these are all obama-era scientists or

democrats or liberals. what is the democratic responsible? >> there's 12,000 worldwide scientific studies that say the opposite. they can't all be democrats, and the final democrats and republicans as citizens feel those effects and must act on a bipartisan way. it was indeed president obama who said this is the first generation to feel the rea impact of climate change, and the last generation that can start to do anything about it. >> all right. let's move on to north korea. there's breaking news on that front as well. the north korean state-run media has just put out a statement from north korea in response to the u.n. security council sanctioning that have been leveled. they say new york new york would take, quote, physical action in response to the united nations security council adoption of a

new sanctions resolution. what does that mean to you? >> it means that that defense system that we've been working on needs to continue to be enhanced to protect our troops, friends and allies to the south as well as in japan, and we need to continue to work with all our allies in the 15 countries who voted with the united nations this weekend to level sanctions against the north, and we need to ready defenses. >> but the sanctions frankly seem to have only made north korea more bellicose, in terms of saying their program will never be on the negotiating table. sat sanctions are the stronger

tool. i think china can still do more with enhabitsed pressure. we also have to tell russia to -- sometimes we're seeing russia pick up where china has left off, so where china has done something, russia has picked it up, giving north korea the slack they need to move forward. its our most important tool despite the bellicose we hear from the north. >> i tweeted out today your assessments of president trump's first 200 days. i want to read how you see it and fact check a bit of what you claim here. you say he has abandoned the partisan promise to repeat -- now, of course he would say it was congress's fault. in fact he's challenging

congress to come up with something. he's saying you all had seven years, so would youry pinning that on him? we were try teague enhabits it, and the republicans have -- until they got control of both houses of congress and the white house, they have been unable to do anything since then, because even though the american public supports this measure, doesn't want to defund planned parenthood or not 20 million americans off health care. if they want to come with a bipartisan approach to enhance the health care system and make sure it continues to work and not to undermine it through the appropriations process, hey, we're willing to listen, ball all americans deserve health care. >> mike quigley, thank you very much for your perspective on all

of these things this morning. >> thank you. >> chris? investors appear to be on a roll on wall street. what was behind the momentum of the rally? how much of it is about politics? next. they're learning resilience, and tenacity. here's to the moms who show their kids that every step -even a misstep- is a step forward.

cnn's new national poll shows a very sobering reality for president trump. only one in four americans say they trust most of what they hear coming out of white house. can the president get anything done with this kind of credibility crisis. david chalian, good to see you.

what do you make of that question? >> i thought it was it is most eye-popping number in the poll, quite frankly. this gets to the reality that we have not yet seen, an external crisis hitting this white house, and if you have that kind of credibility gap -- i mean, that is the trump trust deficit with the american people, that becoming a much stiffer, tougher challenge for the president when indeed he needs to communicate hugely important things to the american people. >> david, it's interesting to dive in and look at the issues, issue by issue. what he gets the highest marks on are the national security and the economy. the lowest marks are health care. obviously, that did not work. taxes, which i guess americans under are inexorably linked to the health care plan. foreign affairs. middle class, whether or not he's looking out for the middle class, immigration, then again the highest marks on the economy

and national security. what are your thoughts? >> even the economy, you know, it's close, but he's under water there. and, you know, obviously the economy, those middle-class numbers, that's the core of his promise. what is amazing about that health care number, alisyn, he never was that low on approval, despeed all the controversy surrounding passage and implementation. >> as expected, the pushback by supporters are the main one-two punch. one, no polls are right anymore. hillary clinton was supposed to get 311 electoral votes, and secondic are look at the rallies. it just doesn't show up in national polls. >> the president himself was tweeting the latter execute -- not excuse, but rationale i guess, for believing the growing support among his base. we don't see that, chris.

there's nowhere in this poll or other polls that support the notion his base is actually growing. we see a bit of erosion. those are diehard fabs that will be there, i don't know that we see evidence that they're bigger and stronger during the campaign either. so there are committed supporters who will show up and see the of the. that's differ than a sample across the country. >> david. this goes right to the heart of president trump's persona, that he's an excellent manager, he understands business. he would run the government like a business. can president trump manage government effectively was the question? only 39% said yes. 5% said no. one more think -- can president trump bring the needed change? today only 43% say yes. 55% say no. how do you see it? >> that number back in april,

that was 48% thought he could bring needed change. to me that's a core brand issue. nobody knows branding better. he sold himself as an agent of change, and come in and bust heads in washington, and manage the government effectively. he is upside down in both right now. that is problematic. that goes to the core of what he promised on the campaign trail. >> let's posit he would be a win or two away from a big pop in popularity. >> sure. >> we've seen that. the silver lining. then the story is the percentage change. however, when it comes to credibility, change isn't always that quick, especially when so many isself emanating. he can say -- we cover what he says and what he often says gets him in trouble. how do you fix that part? >> you are right.

that's a tougher problem to fix. his supporters would say he wasn't seen all that trust worthie and he won the election anyway. but obviously getting a big legislative victory would actually boost, at least among his core supporters where we're seeing some erosion, his numbers and probably help overall. >> david chalian, thanking for the bottom line. cnn news with poppy harlow will bebin after this quick break. they're learning resilience, and tenacity. here's to the moms who show their kids that every step -even a misstep- is a step forward. i'start at the new carfax.comar. show me minivans with no reported accidents. boom. love it.
