Former Clinton advisor and pollster Mark Penn on Wednesday warned on "Fox & Friends" that Democrats' ongoing resistance to President Donald Trump, including their refusal to stand and applaud at any point during the president's address to Congress, is resulting in "record lows" in the polls.
MARK PENN: They didn't know how to applaud when you're supposed to applaud. I've participated in many States of the Union and, you know, the Republicans kind of knew when to sit there and when to applaud, when something that was really unifying that they're supposed to applaud, too. And look, what's been happening is that the president's ratings have been inching up in my polls. He had many popular policies in that speech, and Democratic ratings have really tanked. They've hit record lows and this kind of behavior, to me, really only underscores why those ratings are tanking. Because it's amateurish. You know, it really turns the public off. I mean, the actual Democratic response itself, however, was not so bad; it was a pretty good response, but the performance in the hall when people were watching really turned viewers off.
Penn, chairman and CEO of Stagwell Inc., wrote this week in a Fox News op-ed that Trump is "gradually winning over the public, while the Democratic Party and the legacy of former President Joe Biden are in free fall."
Trump addressed both chambers of Congress on Tuesday evening in an expansive speech that lasted more than 90 minutes, as he took a victory lap for his accomplishments thus far and previewed his vision for the future.
The speech marked Trump's first address before Congress since he reclaimed the Oval Office in January.

“...and Democratic ratings have really tanked. They’ve hit record lows and this kind of behavior,” Penn doesn’t use any numbers so it is very clear that they are far below what is being reported. Q poll had them at 22% YES 22% - we don’t hear much about that do we?
If the Q poll which is friendly territory for the rodents is admitting to 22% the REAL number might be as low as 18%.
Would agree. This ‘act’ probably would have worked ten years ago...large segment of society have reached a level of disbelief (like watching a segment of Saturday Night Live). Asking me to watch 15 minutes of CNN or MSNBC...it just won’t work.
If I’m in a airport with CNN running....I’ll sit facing away from a screen and listen to music off my earbuds.
“If I’m in a airport with CNN running....I’ll sit facing away from a screen and listen to music off my earbuds.”
A few years ago we went to our Ed Jones financial adviser for the annual briefing. She had a large TV screen behind us with CNN on. I quit this jerk and made the reason obvious.
Ecc 10:2 A wise man’s heart is at his right hand; but a fool’s heart at his left.
Correct.
The lolly pop kids with the voting paddles was arguably the most childish thing born of evil I have ever seen in my life.
Those were grown adults (criminals) with rotted brains.
Most of the masses still don’t know what Lesotho is or where it is and why their tax money went there.
When they do figure it out the Democrats are done for at least a generation.
They are losing Gen Z - it was a desperate attempt to come up with a concept that young women would relate to. The whole "Fight Trump because he stole your abortions!" theme is the only way they turned out enough uninformed voters to make it look close last November. Expect more stupidity - we laugh but it works on some audiences.
We had some fool here spouting leftist talking points about “transgenic” mice.
In fact the study involved both transgenic mice and studied transgender mice.
Yup—see post 29.
We had a team slam dunking the idiot.
They are having a hard time explaining why they should exist.
I think he meant that Slotnik’s response was “pretty good” considering what she had to work with. The democrat response really didn’t matter since it aired so late that no one bothered to listen to it.
we are drowning in debt
and the dems are doing comedy skits
keep up the good work
I welcome their stupidity, as long as it’s not them in control.
