The Candidates' Market Report
This should have been the week in which President Trump saw his numbers plummet. After facing the backlash over his tweets aimed at the new intake of Congresswomen, many suspected that the president would take a major hit. But not so. In fact, a four-point bump shows that the press screeching is not doing them any favors. Is this down to American voters agreeing with Trump's premise, or is more likely that it is the unpopularity of "the Squad" that is driving his booming numbers? A recent polling of swing voters suggested Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had a 22% approval rating and Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota had only 9%.This Week’s Major Players
