Threatens to sink a u. S. Aircraft carrier. And, little survivor. The back door of a church van swinging open. A 4yearold hanging on, then falling to the road. The driver who jumped into action. And the big question tonight. How did this happen . Good evening. Thanks for joining us on this sunday. Im tom llamas. We begin with the new showdown over the wall with mexico. President trump demanding congress put up the money. But that could trigger a Government Shutdown on his 100th day in office. And our new abc News Washington post poll, giving President Trump a 42 approving rating. The lowest of the last 13 president s. But no buyers remorse. 96 of the people who voted for him would do it again. President trump tweeting about the poll, even as he faces a friday night deadline to keep the government running. Heres david wright. Reporter donald trump may be the least popular president since the great depression, at this early stage. Were doing a good job for the workers. Reporter but if the election were held today he would win the popular vote. Thats the conflicting message of this new poll. And its a reflection of two things. First, the president s core group of supporters stands by him. Second, the democrats have a popularity problem too. Two out of three americans say the party is out of touch. More than half of americans say trump is a strong leader. He gets especially high marks for pressuring American Companies to keep jobs here in the u. S. Were going to defend our workers, protect our jobs, and finally put america first. Reporter three out of four voters, including many liberals, approve. But 61 disapprove of the highprofile jobs hes given his daughter ivanka and soninlaw jared kushner. And 45 say trump is off to a poor start. In the grand scheme of things, its a marathon, not a sprint. Reporter this coming week, some major challenges including a tax reform package thats sure to get picked over by both parties and the threat of a Government Shutdown, midnight friday. The budget battle may hinge on trumps border wall. Democrats say theyll refuse to pay for it. When the president says, i promised a wall, i dont think he said hes going to pass the billions of dollars of cost of the wall on to the taxpayers. I cant imagine the democrats would shut down the government over an objection to building a downpayment on a wall. Reporter today trump insisted the wall is in the budget, just so we can get started early, insisting, mexico will be paying in some form. Reporter the president making those comments on twitter. David, we all know the president loves to talk polls. And he was also tweeting about the new abc News Washington post poll . Reporter thats right, cherry picking the most favorable details. Specifically that almost all of his voters would pull the lever again and almost half of the country considers him a strong leader. Saying, pretty good considering much of the media is fake, and almost always negative. Tom . David, thank you. We turn to some overseas coverage now. The results of the landmark election in france is in. A farright nationalist candidate one step closer to becoming president. Her message, an echo of President Trumps. Alex marquardt in paris tonight. Reporter it may be a french election, but the reverberations are being felt around the world. Voters have been turning out in force. Ripples could be felt across europe and around the world. There are candidates who would like to see france pull out of the european union. Reporter the fierce brand of farright nationalism touted by marine le pen, who is often compared to donald trump, tonight carrying her into a runoff election. Before the results, trump tweeting today, very interesting election currently taking place in france. But cheers erupting as this crowd learns that le pen is edged out by fellow outsider 39yrold emmanuel macron, who never held elected oe. Starting his campaign from scratch a year ago, campaigning on a proeurope message full of hope and optimism. He also married his former schoolteacher, who is 24 years his senior. This is a big loss for marine le pen, who has been leading in the polls for so long. Now, many of the antile pen forces will band together to make sure that she loses in the final round. These new yorkbased macron volunteers were motivated by trumps victory to come home to try to prevent le pen from doing the same. We wanted to do something and trump gave us the energy we needed. Reporter le pen voters are drawn to her antiimmigration, antiglobalist, antiislamist stance. While macron voters, responding to his youth and uplifting tone. He stands for hope and in these tough times people want hope. Reporter this race is far from over. The candidates now have two weeks before the final round. This is being seen as a blow to trump style populism and polls for this head to head matchup have le pen eventually losing out. Tom . Alex, thanks so much.

Neighbors pouring into the streets to find out what happened, in shock and in tears. Incredibly difficult moment for people on this block to see a family literally destroyed before their very eyes.
