To abandon the ideals we have advanced around the globe, to refuse the obligations of International Leadership and our duty to remain the last best hope of earth for the sake of some halfbaked, spurious nationalism cooked up by people who would rather find scapegoats than solve problems is as unpatriotic as an attachment to any other tired dogma of the past that americans consigned to.

For the second day in a row, the president is expected to take questions from reporters today. This time during a News Conference with the greek prime minister. And this evening, the president is expected to address a highly influential conservative group here in washington, the heritage foundation. Very likely tax reform as well as health care will be on the agenda. Alisyn, back to you. Joe, thank you for that reporting. The new cnn poll finds President Trumps Approval Rating is Holding Steady but more americans say hes leading the nation in the wrong direction. Joining us from washington to help us break down all the numbers, david. Donald trumps Approval Rating is at 37 , 57 disapprove. He has been hanging out in the 37 to 40 range the past four months or so. How does it stack up in history . Take a look at where predecessors were. He was way down at the bottom. Bill clinton next closest and thats ten points higher. So, not stacking up well against his predecessors. We also asked how things are going in the country today. We see a drop here. In august, 53 of americans said things are going well in the country. Now its down to 46 , alisyn. Thats where we were in february after the first chaotic weeks of the trump administration. Battles with mcconnell, trumps relationship with Congressional Republicans. 32 of americans approve the way he handles his relations with Congressional Republicans. 54 disapprove. 68 of republicans approve of his relationship with Congressional Republicans only 22 approve. 30 of americans overall say they trust President Trump to handle major issues. 47 trust these guys, Mitch Mcconnell and paul ryan more. Among republicans, President Trump has the advantage on this issue of trust to handle most issues. If you go to the next screen, youll see that republicans overwhelmingly, 63 , trust trump over the 29 who trust the republicans in congress. Its this advantage that he is pressing against Mitch Mcconnell and paul ryan. By the way, that steve bannon is pressing as well. Alisyn, chris . David, thank you very much. Stay with us. That panel is the only one that the president agrees with in this poll. Yesterday, he had a Tour De Force of selling the American People and the media on what he has done and why he is doing very well at this point. In fact, ahead of schedule, he says. Lets bring in cnn political analyst David Gregory to join david chalian. What did you make of what we all saw yesterday . Im fixated on davids numbers there, especially how the broader gop views the president in terms of confidence in his leadership or on the majority of the issues. That is the point that he is the Republican Party and yet look what hes doing with Mitch Mcconnell yesterday. Hes basically putting him outside himself, putting himself outside of the party saying, yeah, im disappointed in what the republicans have done in washington but im not going to blame myself. What a shocking thing for donald trump to say. Im not going to blame myself. He said they havent gotten it done. Hes playing this outsider game even though hes the president , even though hes the leader of the party to say, look, im still a grassroots political leader. Thats what works for him, david. Doesnt it . Thats the bottom line. Thats still what works for him. Thats what keeps his base together. Even when hes getting hammered for his response in puerto rico, he still plays this outsider game, knowing that he is responsible as the head of the federal government for that kind of response. I totally im sorry, alisyn. I was just going to pull up those numbers for the hurricane response one more time. Only 44 approve of how hes handling the hurricane response, 47 disapprove. But he puts that on us and on puerto ricos government. Were giving fake reports that dont give enough respect to the success and the Puerto Ricans cant get their own business in order. Our reporters are on the ground, showing us what the real situation is. Our reporting standards in the way we cover hurricanes didnt change between harvey, irma and maria. 64 approving of how he handled harvey and irma. It was helping sort of boost him a little bit. Weve never seen that kind of support for him on any given specific issue. Now its down to 44 because of what people have seen in puerto rico. Theres no question about it. Anybody who goes there will tell you, if theyre in this business and have any experience, that it is the worst american Natural Disaster that theyve ever seen. Ive never seen that kind of need among americans in the time ive been in this business. His desire to say hes a success over recognizing that reality has to be whats driving that imbalance between how he was in the first couple of storms and this one. Lets talk about last night. Senator john mccain came out, David Gregory. Look, hes battling cancer and he is speaking his mind. Right. Lets just remind people about the message that john mccain is trying to send. Listen to this. The fear of the world we have organized and led threequarters of a century, to abandon the ideals we have advanced around the globe, to refuse the obligations of International Leadership and our duty to remain the last best hope of earth for the sake of some halfbaked, spurious nationalism cooked up by people who would rather find scapegoats than solve problems what do you hear there, David Gregory . The voice of institutional memory in the senate, a voice of history in our country, a voice that is now completely unafraid of standing outside of the populism of donald trump and essentially saying shame on you. And hes joining other republicans who are doing the same. But that doesnt necessarily change the calculation of steve bannon, of this grassroots work. The president has signed on to say the gop establishment is still letting you down, is still not getting anything accomplished, is not doing its job. Even mccains good friend, lindsey graham, said over the weekend, yeah, i understand where trump and bannon are coming from, because were not doing our jobs on issues like tax cuts or particularly health care. Were not making good on these promises. So, mccains comments will be championed by many critics of the president , including a lot of democrats who otherwise wouldnt be with him on a lot of these issues because hes starting to align himself more strongly against the president. David chalian, he used a great word. Spurious. Right . It suggests that its halfbaked. Its not what it appears to be. It comes from being a way of describing of illegitimate birth. Does it matter to the republicans that this form of populism isnt legitimate, according to senator mccain . Is it being artificial . Is that something that might work in terms of galvanizing the party and calling out the bannon factor . It matters to some republicans of the john mccain is one, obviously. But it doesnt i dont think that its going to be a rallying cry to all of a sudden overturn the dynamic that has been ten years in the making inside the modern Republican Party. I do think, though, that what you see with john mccain, add this speech to the speech he gave last night to the speech he gave on the senate floor when he returned from his diagnosis, where he voted against the plan to repeal and replace obamacare. He is trying with all of his might to sort of turn the tide here, both institutionally in the senate, how things get done in washington and with trumps sort of global philosophy and vision for americas role in the world. Hes trying with his words with anything he can galvanize to try to steer back something he seems to think is off course. Quickly, david go ahead. I think its also striking to watch. President trump aligns himself with the bannon and antiestablishment folks. If he were to get a big bipartisan deal on health care, he would love it. If he were able to accomplish things and be able to put his name on the top of a victory, i think he would very quickly align himself with the establishment if it started working and if he could say, like on tax reform, we got this done because of my leadership. I think you would see that start to change. We need to get to what President Trump claimed in this press conference yesterday, speaking of spurious. He claimed that other president s didnt call the families of Fallen Soldiers and then he tried to walk it back when people were saying, yes, they d here is what he originally said and then some of the cleanup effort. Listen to this. I will, at some point during the period of time call the parents and the families, because i have done that traditionally. The traditional way, if you look at president obama and other president s, most of them didnt make calls. A lot of them didnt make calls. Earlier, you said that president obama never called the families of Fallen Soldiers. How can you make that claim . No, no, i was told he didnt often. A lot of president s dont. President obama, i think, probably did sometimes and maybe sometimes he didnt. I dont know. Thats what i was told. All i can do is ask my generals. Look, this is example number fill in the blank of what number you want of just a fake claim. He shot it out there. Its demonstrably false and then put it out there with unnamed sources, which he hates. Former Obama Administration officials, including eric holder. He put out on twitter stop the damn lying. Youre the president. I went to Dover Air Force base with 44, meaning obama, and saw him comfort both the fallen of both the fallen military and dea. And then thats an fing lie to say president obama or past president s didnt call the family members of soldiers. Hes a deranged animal. I dont know why he doesnt tell the truth all the time but he doesnt. He makes claims usually based on him feeling attacked somehow, feeling defensive and lashes out without the facts. If you were listening to him it almost sounded as if what he meant to say was that the way you offer condolences takes different forms and that the protocol over the years versus calling as opposed to writing a letter, maybe certain circumstances called for certain responses. Thats what i thought he might be driving at. But, of course, what he then says is a kind of blast, a gut blast to say, well, you know, nobody in the past really called to offer condolences, which is simply not true. Yet again, he creates a controversy because hes offensive in what hes saying. Offensive to the office and his predecessors that gets in the way of what hes trying right. You have to be careful, david, both davids and us, not to let it work. Its a fog of distraction and bs that gets us away from the main premise. Why didnt he say anything about this for two weeks . Why did these Service Members lose their lives . What was this about . Where is the curiosity from the administration . Where is the story of these four men and what happened to them . Thats the question, david chalian. Exactly, chris. He can cover it in a lie and cast blame on other people, will get people who hate obama involved in it and will focus on that. We still dont know the answers to the main questions. The lie is important to call out. Weve done it. It was a lie. It was totally wrong. My question when i watched that is why is this a moment for him to start trying to compare himself to his predecessors . There are four dead american Service Members. He is the commander in chief. There must be Something Else he wants to say here other than try to compare himself to how others in this job handled this kind of moment. It just seemed entirely the wrong moment, to me, for him to try to stack himself up to his predecessor. Unless he either doesnt know what happened in niger, which shows a fundamental lack of curiosity, or he doesnt want to go there. In either case, throwing some stink on obama and other people will work. That will become the headline, unless you stay on the main line questions. We need to know what happened to these men
