Speaking of CNN, they had a poll on party approval for second term presidents in the modern era. Okay, 21st century, second term presidents. So you're talking Obama, you're talking Bush, and now you're talking President Trump.
According to Harry Enton, the CNN data polls guy, Trump in his own party is by far and away more popular than Obama was with his party and Bush was with his party during their second term.

21st century, own party approval rating. About at this point in the second term, we got Trump, we got Obama, we got Bush. Look, they're all fairly popular, but the one who is the most popular, and we have seen this time in and time out, no matter when you look, is Donald John Trump. He's the only one who's over 80%, 83% of Republicans still approve of the job that Donald Trump is doing as president. He still has that magic touch. We'll see if it carries over to South Carolina, but we've seen it in primaries this year, Senate primaries, and that's because he is still a very popular man, historically popular when it comes to his own party, liking and approving of the job that he's doing.

Now unlike the other two presidents, Trump's not getting any sort of votes from the Democrats. Obama got a little bit, even Bush got a little bit. But those days are done. Like politics are so tribal right now. Trump's overall approval rating is like 39, because zero Democrat support. But within his own party, it's damn near 80%.
Yeah, Obama is a guy on... Was it a second term that he won Indiana? First. First term.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:43)
Okay.

**Hammer** (1:44)

**SPEAKER_3** (1:45)
Still though.

**Hammer** (1:46)
Yeah, winning Indiana, it just goes to show what a horrible campaign John McCain had. Geez.
Here to break down this CNN poll about his popularity in his second term compared to Bush and Obama. Joining us now on the hotline, this is exciting, AI President Trump.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:07)
Hammer and Nigel, as always, thanks for taking my call. This new CNN poll shows that I am more popular than Rosie O'Donnell at a doughnut store.
I'm more popular than Nigel at a whiskey chugging contest. I'm more popular than Rod Bray at a butt sniffers who love high taxes convention.

**Hammer** (2:27)
Wow.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:28)
On the flip side, it looks like Obama and Bush are about as popular as a ladder at Tony Katz House. I have to go. Pete Hegseth is bored. So we're going to bomb 14 bridges in Iran. AI Trump, out. There he is.
Mr. President.

AI President Trump joining us exclusively on the Hammer and Nigel Show.
What was the convention that Rod Bray was at? Butt sniffers who love high taxes.
Can you imagine someone actually coming up with that idea? You know, we want to have a convention downtown. We're going to call it Butt sniffers who love high taxes. What do you think? And then Rod Bray would be like, you know, the celebrity there. There he is. That's Rod Bray. He's the biggest butt sniffer who loves high taxes of anybody. I love it.
