He has said that he is not aware of that. Okay. That concerns me. Thats not true. What is not true . That im concerned . No, that i see. Okay. I assure you. As you know, i have a no conflict situation because im president. Can we just take a second here, guyes. Like how is all of this real . Dont be rude. I dont think hes done enough and he may sink in the swamp. The best Vice President americas ever had, mr. Joe biden. The vp with the highest civilian honor, medal of freedom. This also gives the internet one last chance to talk about our bromance. Mr. President , theres not one single solitary ounce of entitlement in you. We dont make good deals any more. Yeah, le how we traded obama for the Worlds Largest troll doll. Terrible deal. Terrible. You are not alone. You are not alone if you are tired of what Kellyanne Conway tries to get way with in her interviews. It turns out the fbi or someone in the fbi or Intelligence Community who knows what the fbi director has said to donald trump is tired of what the trump staff usually in the person of Kellyanne Conway tries to get away with. We should be concerned that intelligence officials leaked to the press and wont go and tell the president elect or president of the United States himself now, mr. Obama, what the information is. They would rather go tell the press. But the report was that the the press report was about them an allegation about them going to the president. And says they never briefed him on it. They appended two payes to the bottom of his i fwlef said they did brief him on it. He has said he is notware of it. Okay, that concerns me. Tonight, nbc news has confirmed that fbi director james comey took mr. Trump aside and spoke to him one on one about the existence of verification against him and told him the summary of claim was included on an addendum to the top secret report. That is a direct smackdown of Kellyanne Conway and what she has been saying this week. And the sources for that report, but what the fbi director told donald trump are, quote, multiple high level intelligence sources. You are not alone. Multiple high level intelligence sources have decided that theyre tired of donald trump or Kellyanne Conway lying about them. They arent going to take it any more. Youre not alone. Youre not alone as you watch the end of one presidency and the shaping of another in confirmation hearings this week and you worry about who is taking over this government. You are not alone if you disapprove of the individuals donald trump has nominated to be part of his cabinet. That was a question in a poll released this week that chose 40 disapprove of Donald Trumps cabinet choices. Only 30 approve. And you are not alone if you disapprove of the nomination of Jeff Sessions to be the next of the United States. Youre not alone if you disapprove of Rex Tillerson becoming the next secretary of state. Least approved of secretary of state in history of confirmation hearings. 35 disapprove of Rex Tillerson of secretary of state. Only 23 approve. Not even a majority of republicans approve of Rex Tillerson as secretary of state. And that poll was completed before Rex Tillersons testimony in which he said this when asked about the possibility of creating a government registry of all muslims in the United States. Do you support creating a National Registry for american muslims . I would need to have a lot more information around how such an approach would even be constructed. And if it were a tool, for vetting, it probably extends to other people as well. Other groups that are threats. To the u. S. But thats a it would just require me much more information around how that would even be approached. All the information he needs is in the constitution. A secretary of state who doesnt know that a government registry of every member after religion is unconstitutional. Rex tillerson may be a well informed businessman but he is the least informed nominee ever questioned in a confirmation hearing for second of state. Most secretaries of state, in our history, didnt have confirmation hearings. Confirmation hearings became common only during the tell vaj age. The first weve seen is dean hatcherson in 1949. Founding fathers didnt think confirmation hearings were necessary because of course cabinet members would be chosen from a group of men, a small group of men and only men, so well known to the senate that no one would have any questions about them. No nominee for secretary of state has been less well known to the senate than Rex Tillerson and so the least experienced secretary of state in history has been nominated to advise the least experienced president in history, a president the country is not looking forward to. According to the most recent quinnipiac poll. You are not alone if you are not at all confident that donald trump will make things better for you or your family. Thats what 35 of the people said in the quinnipiac poll. Another 18 said they were not confident. Thats majority saying they are not confident about donald trump and his presidency making things better. Only 17 were very confident and 277 some what confident. You are not alone if you feel donald trump will do more to divide the country than unite the country 54 believe donald trump will do more to divide the country. This quinnipiac poll that im reporting to you is a truly amazing and unprecedented poll for an incoming president. No incoming president has ever polled worse than donald trump. This would be the biggest news item of the week or one of the biggest news items of the week if this week had not been filled with president obamas emowingal and eloquent farewell address and Donald Trumps disjointed and angry press conference about leaks and donald trump being briefed the fbi director on the unproven allegations on him and his allegations of Vladimir Putin floating around washington and news media for months. A very, very big newsweek. So the most important poll since Election Night has been ignored. Its a poll that changes your understanding of the country you live in. And who is living here with you . If youve wondered about how trump voters relate to donald trump, you should wonder about that less because many of them dont relate to donald trump. So the question of, do you feel that donald trump is someone you can relate to, 68 said no. 35 of republicans said no. 61 of men said they cannot relate it donald trump. 74 of women said no they cannot relate it donald trump. That is the country you live in. Would you say that donald trump is levelheaded . 62 said no. 56 of men said no. 67 of women said no. That was before this happened. President elect, since you are attacking our News Organization not you. Your organization is terrible. Your organization is terrible. Go ahead. Quiet, quiet. Go ahead. She is asking a question, dont be rude. Dont be rude. Can you give us a question. Dont be no, im not going to give you a question. Can you state you are fake news. Go ahead. Can you state categorically mr. President elect, thats not appropriate. Would you say that donald trump cares about average americans, 52 say no. You are not alone if you dont think donald trump cares about average americans. Do you think donald trump is honest . 53 say no. Do you eye prove or disapprove of the way donald trump is handling his responsibilities as president elect . 51 disapprove. Onefourth of republicans either disapprove or dont know. Do you approve or disapprove of the way barack obama is handling his job as president . 55 approve and thats the highest Approval Rating president obama has had in the quinnipiac poll in seven years. Is your opinion of donald trump favorable or unfavorable . Only 37 say favorable. That has dropped sin the last quinnipiac poll on november 27 where donald trump had 4 favorable and 46 unfavorable. Donald trumps numbers are going down. And his reckless tweeting in which he congratulates Vladimir Putin for being smart is not helping. 64 of voters say donald trump should close his twitter account. Do you think donald trump will be a better president than president obama . 45 say he will be worse. Only 34 say he will be better. That is less than the percentage of the vote that donald trump won on Election Night. Do you think donald trump will be a great president . A good president . A not so good president . Or a bad president . Bad. Bad got more responses than any other choice. 32 believe donald trump will be a bad president. 20 believe he will be not so good. 30 think he will be good. Only 12 think he will be great. Only 12 . I know it looked like everyone at the trump rallies believe he will be a great president , but apparently not. A majority believes donald trump will be bad or not so good as president. If you would like to see president obama continue to speak out on National Issues after he leaves office, you are not alone. 50 say they would like to see that. 46 say no. 12 of republicans would like to see president obama continue to speak out on National Issues. And that poll was completed the night before president obamas farewell address. For now, whether you are young or whether youre young at heart, i do have one final a you as your president. The same thing i asked when you took a chance on me eight years ago. Im asking you to believe. Not in my ability to bring about change, but in yours. If you are on the losing end on Election Night, it might have felt like you lost everything. But you didnt. You lost one election. You did not lose your country. You live in a country that likes president obama more than donald trump. A country that relates to president obama more than donald trump. A country that wants to hear more from president obama and less from donald trump especially on twitter. And if you are encouraged or discouraged by the results of this poll, you are not alone. Democrats in congress will be encouraged in their resistance to donald trump and republicans in congress will be discouraged by this poll. A president s persuasive power with congress with his own party in congress is entirely dependent on his standing in the polls. And donald trump is losing support in the polls since Election Night. He will take the oath of office next week. A weaker politician than he was on Election Night. The donald trump in this poll is not the person america will want to trust with rewriting Health Care Policy in this country. This poll tells us that those of you watching the inauguration next week who believe that donald trump is not levelheaded, does not care about you, and is not honest are not alone. It tells us you are the majority. This is as much your country as it has ever been. Joining us now, joan walsh, National Correspondent of the nation on political analyst and Charlie Sykes editor and chief an msnbc contributor. Joan, this poll, when i was reading it when it came out on tuesday was absolutely stunning. Overwhelmed with news since then. Right. This is a picture that has been lost to the news media especially news media that wants to spend a lot of time wondering what democrats did wrong. How they have to change. What a genius donald trump was to win. Big message election. Yeah. All this to consider. And also within this discussion we have what happened with the fbi now tonight revealing that yes, director comey took donald trump aside one on one told him exactly right and revealing that once again he and Kellyanne Conway lied about it. That he was actually briefed. Yeah. Lawrence on the one hand, obviously this is extraordinary. Barack obama won 51 of the vote, just over 50 , he went to 69 the day before inauguration. This is when people fall in love with their president. It has always been him. He usually makes pretty main treatment appointments. Occasionally one or two are controversial. And people bask in the feeling that okay we have turned the page. We like these rituals. Republicans werent so happy but even some republicans proved to him. This is really dangerous. And we should also point out that donald trump got a bump from, in his first few weeks, right . His favorable rating went over 50 for a few days. But then he started tweeting again. We saw his appointments and the general just mayhem of this administration became clearer and clearer. So you know, on the other hand, a lot of people who didnt trust him, dpt like him, didnt approve of him at the last minute, pulled the lever for him. And we have to remember that. Thats where, you know, many democrats, myself included, think that the comey intervention made such a difference. You see Hillary Clintons poll going down a slide. So you know, theres just a lot to take in. But hes tanking before he is taking office. Charlie, transition period is the easiest period in a president s life. It is the period where there is nothing at stake. I cant think of anybody who real got anything wrong during that period. I mean, when was there ever an angry outburs bait president elect for example at a press conference. And weve never add president coming into office with so many questions. You know, facing about his abilities, about russia, about his ethics, all those things. He has one job. Just one job, which is to reassure nervous americans, to reassure the public. Including p em who pull the lever for him because he wasnt Hillary Clinton and he is apparently not interested in doing that. Again, i dont know how many times we have to say that but donald trump is not going to be pivoting. By the way, i i did think he beat the media yesterday. But on the other hand his absolute unwillingness to become president bl or modify his behavior. But dont, by the way, dont gloss over what he is accomplishing. How i hijacked the concept of fake news, turned it on its head, drained that of all meaning whatsoever. If he cant brow beat the media he will delegitmize them. It is a very, very ugly transition period. But joan, the basis this poll shows is not enough. The basis is very small and the base will love it but other people will be frightened. Charlie, i dont know exactly what you mean by he beat the media but he beat them with a stick maybe. But i dont know that he beat them. I think he shocked them. I think there are a lot of reporters who simply didnt know how to respond. I would have liked to have seen even more solidarity with jim acosta. Oh, no. I agree. And i dont think they fully grasped what they were up against. What i meant is that i thought buzz feed handed him the stick that he needed to do to turn all of that around. With the unsubstantiated allegations. This was a gift to him. I think the media has to understand they are facing something they never faced before. Their poll ratings are just slightly above hemorrhoids right now. Donald trump knows he can beat on the media. He can humiliate the media. Discredit the media and not pay a significant political price at least for now with the base which, as you point out, is not the whole electorate. One price he is paying in this poll, john, is the view of his character and personality. And that he is not stable, not calm. All the things that people want in a president. Right. I mean, the Early Morning and late night tweets that picking a fight with meryl streep. We could just sit here and mention them for your whole hour. Cant keep up. It is hard to keep up. But i think he is really showing people that he is not ready for this. He also feels he feels to me rattled by it. He has a big ego. But he doesnt feel prepared. That nonsense that, this is the least of his press conference, but i want to bring it up anyway. The nonsense he spewed about repealing obamacare and getting something bigger or better and roughly simultaneously, he waet no meat on the bones of his understanding of health policy. Since he was elected. He doesnt know what they are doing over in the capital and it is just becoming clearer to people he is not driving this train. But he is bullying and intimidating. Im wondering, as we have always wondered, where is their breaking point . And for example if the promises arent delivered on obamacare, is that a a breaking point for Trump Supporters . Thats going to be a big one. But also as your poll numbers do point out, there are a lot of people who again voted for donald trump because it with a a binary choice because they were voting against Hillary Clinton. They held their nose. They are not necessarily pro trump. That is a soft amount of support and he could an tig niez them. So theres no question about it that that number is much softer than i think it looked on Election Night. That quinnipiac poll actually does expose real null verbilities and there are a lot of breaking point. Thank you both for joining us. Appreciate it. Hank you, lawrence. Thank you. Coming up, Justice DepartmentInspector General announced something they never announced before. The fbi director is now under investigation by the Inspector General. And later, donald trump drifting towards unparalleled catastrophe. We have found several things that we have in common. Our noses are similar and our cheeks. People say we sit the same way. laughter i decided to go on ancestry to get my dna tested so i could find out more about my heritage.
