But as Trump ramps up his campaign trail efforts, some GOP candidates are concerned that an appearance by the president—whose poll numbers have recently declined—could actually hurt their campaigns rather than help them.

President Trump’s approval rating has fallen to its lowest level yet in a new poll by The Financial Times. The poll found that just 33% of registered voters approve of Trump’s performance as president with less than two months to go until the midterms. According to the poll, voters’ worsening view of the economy and cost of living is to blame for Trump’s falling numbers. The Morning Joe panel discusses this latest poll that POLITICO’s Jonathan Martin calls ‘a recipe for a wipeout’ in the November midterms.

“He thinks voters are stupid. Republicans control the House. They control the Senate. They control the White House. If they wanted to spend a trillion dollars right now cutting checks, they could do it,” says Chris Hayes on Trump’s desperate and implausible $5,000 bribe to voters.
