on the campaign trail and that's why he was looking toward to today and if you combine today's rally with that press conference on thursday, this is something of a chance for a reset for the president and for the white house. he's facing sagging approval numbers. i believe the latest ratings we can put up on the screen show he is underwater. more people disapproving. that's 55% of the job he's doing as president than approving. that approval number at 40%. this rally is coming at a time when the president is hoping to be able to reset and show his followers that everything is fine at the white house. so we expect him to highlight what he views as his administration's accomplishments over the course of the first month in office. >> it's very loud there, so i'm not sure if you can hear the follow-up question and fine if you can't. but of course, this is all happening as the president is trying to find a replacement for the national security advisor. is there a front-runner?
