Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough discussed Donald Trump‘s falling approval ratings on Friday (February 13), saying the president’s “shock opera” tactics are wearing thin.
The MS NOW anchor was referring to the latest polling from Axios and YouGov, which shows Trump losing support from independents and 18 to 29-year-olds, with voters saying former President Joe Biden did a better job in office.
