00:05CEO Driton Nesho. Driton, thanks so much for joining me. Thanks for having me, Brittany.

00:10The August Harvard Caps Harris poll is officially out. And there are a lot of interesting tidbits

00:17in here, a lot of things I want to dive into. But I want to start where we normally start,

00:22which is President Trump's approval rating. Where is it?

00:25So President Trump's job approval seems to have settled at around 47% in the upper 40s. Still a

00:36little bit shy of 50% approval and majority approval. And there's a wide range of areas of approval. So

00:46on the higher end, people approve of how he is fighting crime and reducing the costs of government.

00:55government and handling immigration. But on the lower end, the jitters around the economy and

01:02handling inflation and trade and tariff policies since continue. So there is a wide range of

01:10opinions around the different facets of the president's job. But he has been steady now for

01:16about three months, and frankly, stands at a higher approval rating than he himself stood in his first

01:27administration at the same period in time. But also many of his peers, like President Obama, or President

01:34George W. Bush before that, certainly President Biden, he's outperforming them. So as always, there's a lot of

01:43energy and motion and tumult with the Trump administration. And I think that the job approval

01:49numbers with highs of 51% on immigration and fighting crime on one side and lows of 41% on tariffs and trade

01:59policy on the other side, paint the picture of the administration as it stands.
