7:45 am
7:46 am
as the nation honored senator john mccain for his heroism, selflessness, and 60 years of public service, the president sat out of the public light. nothing -- not a welcome back. the country honored john mccain for 60 years of pub lib service. the president sat out of the public spotlight. not an announcement that the economy grew at 4.2% during the last quarter would give president trump his dues this past week. a new public opinion poll shows his most trying days may be still ahead. nbc bay area joining us. i actually didn't know about this. what is the latest public sentiment? >> it is not good. in fact the bad news comes from the washington post poll released just the other day. only 36%, 36% of the public now
7:47 am
support the president. that's a new low. 60% dus approdisapprove of his performance. there's more trouble for trump which is based in the washington post poll. 78% support the president. that figure may seem high. it is down by about 10 points compared with recent polls. now it may be that the post poll is -- something outside the norm. another poll also ahead the president at 36%. of course we know polls are snapshots in time. it remains to be seen whether this downward trend continues. it appears that the trump base may be tracking.
7:48 am
>> your question that the president suffered a cruel august. think of all of the things that have happened. eight counts of bank fraud. admission of guilt. guilt again to money laundering. it could lead the president as a coconspirator. it is for potentially damaging the information on the company's books and the immunity given to publisher of the national inquirer. any one of these things, any one of these developments would put a dent in it. they are more than problematic.
7:49 am
they are a direct result on the trump presidency. all of this comes to a head as the nation celebrating john mccain a patriot that put public service above personal gains. >> and this president was playing golf and tweeting about attacking the doj and the fbi. so this may be a tough time for the president. he continues to accuse special counsel with conducting a rigged witch hunt. is it campaign gaining any traction do you think? >> it is certainly what the trump team has been doing, has been hoping that something would lead people to actually believe it. apparently it is not working. we know how sympathetic fox news
7:50 am
is. 59% support the mueller investigation. that is up a wlhopping 11%. so in other words at the same time support for trump is sinking. support for mueller is growing. >> do you think it could be a turning point for this trump presidency? >> yeah. we are always looking for that turning point. a turning point probably not. perhaps a of what's to come. that is because federal law enforcement agencies rarely make news between labor day. do expect more indictments, higher up ton foon the food cha. no one is happier to see donald trump. >> so much to cover with you. look forward to next week.
7:51 am
>> thanks. still ahead on today in the bay, the world's strongest man is making an appearance this weekend. well tell you the record he insten instei intends to break today. have you seen his fitness videos? >> i'll show you how things might look temperature wise. temperatures approaching 90 degrees later on. we'll talk about that as we come right back. how well do you know california )s labor laws? our consumer team tests your knowledge! plus- we )ll be all over any breaking news that happens overnight. when you join us monday - labor

7:56 am
valleys. numbers in the mid-70s with morning clouds and afternoon sunshine. lake tahoe right now not seeing any thundershowers in the forecast except maybe around wednesday and thursday we could begin to see changes. lake tahoe looking pretty nice. the source of the changes out towards the see sierra. at this point it doesn't look like it will come towards the bay area. it will build more strongly towards northern california. also are the systems passing by to the north which should prevent the highs from getting too strong. the forecast warms us up a little bit more tomorrow and we will see temperatures leveling off as we head towards next weekend. so san francisco morning clouds, afternoon sunshine. a bit warmer tomorrow. you'll notice our valley temperatures starting to climb on up into the 90s.
