EXCERPT:
KORNACKI: "Kristen, you say 48 hours from now the first votes of major elections since last year’s presidential and this NBC News poll here is our first poll since the spring, and what we find is a mood that has soured on Trump and the Republican Party in that time. An approval rating of 43% now in our new poll for Donald Trump, but check out our previous poll. This was back in March, 47-51. He was starting out now well into his first year and down to a 43% job approval rating for President Trump. He’s, of course, coming against the backdrop of the government shutdown. We ask the question, who do you blame? 42% say Democrats in Congress, but 52% say it’s either the president’s fault or his party and Congress’ fault."
