WHERE THE PRESIDENT STANDS – AT 11:46 A.M. ET:  In the midst of the Kavanaugh mess, the president stands well.  From Rasmussen: 

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 48% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Fifty percent (50%) disapprove.

The latest figures include 34% who Strongly Approve of the president is performing and 42% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -8.

COMMENT:  The new NAFTA agreement should add to Mr. Trump's approval.  He's promised to be out there fighting for Republican congressional candidates, and he might just turn some races around.
