flag CNN's Abby Phillip disputes Scott Jennings' claim of rising Trump approval, citing polls showing minimal increase and a Democratic edge in party ID.

flag CNN host Abby Phillip challenged conservative commentator Scott Jennings, disputing his claim that Donald Trump’s approval rating has risen. flag She cited a Reuters poll showing Trump at a -14 percent approval rating, with 56% disapproving and 42% approving, and noted any increase was minimal—just one point. flag Phillip also referenced a Gallup poll indicating Democrats now hold a 48% to 41% advantage in party identification, a shift from earlier in the year. flag The exchange occurred amid a government shutdown and growing political gridlock, with Jennings asserting Trump would negotiate if Democrats stopped what he called “holding the government hostage.” The debate reflected ongoing tensions between Phillip and Jennings, including past disagreements over U.S. foreign policy and drug trafficking sources.
