Speaker 1 (00:00):
Previously on Your Morning Show with Michael dil Choano.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Roy Newpole out takes a look at how Americans feel
about things like Donald Trump, Elon Musk, the Gaza, and
other topics. And this one looks different than the other poles.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
Well, this one shows Donald Trump's approval numbers are about
the same within the margin of error compared to last month.
But it's the disapproval numbers that are edging up a
little bit, especially among independent voters. Forty five percent approved,
forty nine percent now disapproved. So that's a bit of
a change in this Quinnipiac survey. Republicans still love him,

(00:35):
Democrats still loathe him, independence though, are moving a bit
more here, fifty percent now disapprove.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Now. One thing that Roy O'Neil has always taught me,
we never take one poll and isolated. We look at
all of them. But now all the poles are saying
issue by issue, whether it's Doge, whether it's the border,
whether it's this, whether it's a say one thing. And
now this one says something different. So it's interesting to
have one that's so far off. And then when I
start looking at the samples and couldn't find it, I'll
give you an example. Here's a question that made me suspicious.

(01:05):
Do you think that policies focused on increasing diversity, equity,
and inclusion in the workplace are a good thing for
an organization or a bad thing for the organization? Overall,
fifty three percent said good, thirty eight percent bad. Going
to the Republican Party whatever this sample was, thirty percent
said good, fifty nine percent said bad. I would have

(01:26):
expected that to be more twenty eighty, but this and
then the Democrat looked right seventy six percent good, sixteen
percent bad. What really stuck out with me was independence.
Fifty four percent said good, thirty nine percent said bad.
It's heavily weighted to females. I can see that in
the male female breakout. But if that were the case,
Kamala might have carried Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona. So I

(01:51):
don't know. I don't know what to make of this.
I know that it's very different from all the other polling,
whether it comes to Elon Musk or Trump, or foreign
policy or economic policy, border policy. But that that question
right there told me there's a little stinker in here.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
It's about in line with a Gallup survey that also
came out yesterday as well. In a CNN poll that
came out this morning with the general approval numbers for
President Trump, fifty five percent think Elon Musk has too
much power in making some of these decisions out there.
That Gaza proposal by President Trump going over like a
lead balloon. Only twenty two percent of voters support the

(02:27):
idea of the US going into Gaza making it the
new Riviera. Sixty two percent oppose it. Independence strongly against
the idea as well.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
If that's his real goal, that one is a stinker.
But I think the real goal is to get Saudi
Arabia to pay for the rebuild and monitor and keep
crazies from getting back in control there. But yeah, that
and I think you're playing with fire with tariffs because
if you drive up cost of living, that's not going
to look good for the midterms. Roy O'Neil appreciate it.
Great reporting, Beaus. Always, we'll talk again to Mark.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
Miss a little, miss a lot, miss a lot, and
we'll miss you. It's your a boarding show with Michael
