CNN Data Chief Hits Democrats With A 'Horrible, Horrible, Horrible' Reality Check
One poll found only 29% favorability for the party, another had 27%. Both showed record-low approval numbers for the opposition party.
'Holy Toledo,' Enten continued of a 68% disapproval rating for Democrats in Congress.
And the 49% approval by Democrats of their lawmakers in Congress is 'horrible, horrible, horrible,' he added.
'Oh my goodness gracious, you just can't get worse than these numbers,' said Enten.
Watch the full analysis here:
To quote Charles Barkley, the Dem Party's brand is "terrible, terrible".Dems in Congress approval? A record low 21% overall & more Dems disapprove (49%) than approve (40%).Dem voters want Dems in Congress to fight Trump (65%) & 77% say they're not fighting him enough. Yikes. pic.twitter.com/Iyw1myVqnE

Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq futures steady with Wall Street looking for more records
Stock futures were steady on Monday, with Wall Street aiming for more record highs. Traders this week are eyeing a key inflation reading, the upcoming summit between President Trump and Russian President Putin, and an unusual sales arrangement between Nvidia (NVDA), AMD (AMD), and the US government. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures (YM=F) rose 0.3%. Futures tied to the S&P 500 (ES=F) crept up 0.1%, while those on the tech-heavy Nasdaq (NQ=F) hovered around the flatline. Wall Street is coming off a week that saw the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) notch two consecutive records at its end. The S&P 500 (^GSPC), meanwhile, just missed a record close on Friday. Tech stocks overperformed as Apple (AAPL) posted its best week since 2020 on the heels of its White House spotlight with President Trump. Nvidia (NVDA) also closed Friday at a fresh record amid signals from Trump that Big Tech companies could avoid looming chip tariffs. But in another tariff-related twist, reports Sunday said Nvidia and AMD have agreed to give the US government 15% of the money they make from selling certain computer chips to China. Nvidia shares fell 0.7% before the bell on Monday, while AMD shares lost over 1%. Read more: The latest on Trump's tariffs Trump has claimed that his tariffs are having a "huge positive impact on the stock market," though Wall Street is still navigating the twists and turns in his trade policy. His sweeping duties on dozens of trade partners went into effect last week. Now, investors are turning their attention to his previewed sectoral duties on semiconductor and pharmaceutical imports, as well as a looming Tuesday deadline to extend a tariff pause with China. Wall Street will get another glimpse this week into how those tariffs are affecting price pressures in the US. The Consumer Price Index is set for release on Tuesday, followed by the Producer Price Index on Thursday and retail sales data on Friday. Inflation reaccelerated in June, and economists have warned that the tariffs will likely continue to seep into price data in the coming months. Meanwhile, gold futures (GC=F) fell in New York on Monday as traders waited for clarification from the White House over its tariff policy, after a US government agency ruled that 100-ounce and one-kilogram bullion bars would be subject to tariffs.

Nvidia, AMD stocks decline after chipmakers agree to pay US 15% cut of China chip sales Shares of Nvidia (NVDA) and AMD (AMD) fell on Monday after the two companies agreed to pay the US government 15% of the revenue for certain chip sales to China. Nvidia stock was off by 0.4% premarket, while AMD stock dropped 1.4% as investors digested the unusual deal in which the chipmakers will essentially pay for export licenses. While the details are still being worked out, the chips in question reportedly include Nvidia's H20 AI chip and AMD's MI308 chips, which previously faced export controls from the Trump administration. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang made the deal at the White House last Wednesday, the same day Apple (AAPL) agreed to increase its US investment to $600 billion, ostensibly to help the company avoid tariffs, as the Trump administration looks to monetize trade policy. An Nvidia spokesperson told Yahoo Finance: 'We follow rules the U.S. government sets for our participation in worldwide markets. While we haven't shipped H20 to China for months, we hope export control rules will let America compete in China and worldwide. America cannot repeat 5G and lose telecommunication leadership. America's AI tech stack can be the world's standard if we race." As for other chip stocks, Intel (INTC) and Qualcomm (QCOM) shares rose, while Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) fell modestly.

The Latest: Trump promises new steps to tackle homelessness and crime in Washington
President Donald Trump is promising to announce new steps to tackle homelessness and crime in Washington at a 10 a.m. ET news conference just days after directing federal law enforcement agencies to increase their presence in Washington and suggesting the federal government could seize control of the city. 'The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY,' Trump wrote Sunday. 'We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital. The Criminals, you don't have to move out. We're going to put you in jail where you belong.' Trump called Washington 'one of the most dangerous cities anywhere in the World' after the recent assault of a high-profile member of the Department of Government Efficiency. The attack did not appear related to his work. While violent crime in Washington peaked in 2023, police statistics show homicides, robberies and burglaries are down this year when compared with this time in 2024. Overall, violent crime is down 26% compared with this time a year ago. Here's the latest: Europe says the US-Russia summit this week cannot decide on Ukraine land swaps But the Europeans concede that Moscow is unlikely to give up control of Ukrainian land it holds. Ahead of the summit in Alaska on Friday, President Trump suggested that a peace deal could include 'some swapping of territories,' but the Europeans see no sign that Russia will offer anything to swap. Europeans and Ukrainians so far are not invited to the summit. European Union foreign ministers are meeting on Monday following talks on Ukraine among U.S. and European security advisors over the weekend. They are wary that President Vladimir Putin will try to claim a political victory by portraying Ukraine as inflexible. ▶ Read more about Europe and upcoming summit Trump's Monday schedule The only thing on Trump's schedule today is a news conference at 10 a.m., where he's expected to announce plans to tackle homelessness and crime in Washington. Trump is promising new steps to tackle homelessness and crime in Washington Trump is promising new steps to tackle homelessness and crime in Washington, prompting the city's mayor to voice concerns about the potential use of the National Guard to patrol the streets in the nation's capital. Trump wrote in a social media post that he would hold a White House news conference on Monday to discuss his plans to make the District of Columbia 'safer and more beautiful than it ever was before.' 'The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY,' Trump wrote Sunday. 'We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital. The Criminals, you don't have to move out. We're going to put you in jail where you belong.' Last week, the Republican president directed federal law enforcement agencies to increase their presence in Washington for seven days, with the option 'to extend as needed.' Trump said last week that he was considering ways for the federal government to seize control of Washington, asserting that crime was 'ridiculous' and the city was 'unsafe,' after the recent assault of a high-profile member of the Department of Government Efficiency.

Bernie Sanders accuses Harris of being 'influenced' by billionaires in 2024 race
WASHINGTON - Progressive independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders accused former Vice President Kamala Harris of being 'heavily influenced' by rich people in the 2024 race, which she lost to President Donald Trump. During a rally in Wheeling, West Virginia, on Aug. 8, Sanders told a crowd that one of the reasons he thinks Harris lost the election was that she had 'too many billionaires telling her not to speak up for the working class of this country.' The rally was one of the many Sanders is holding around the country as part of his 'fighting oligarchy' tour, aimed at mobilizing voters to stand up against the Trump administration. When asked about his remarks, Sanders told CNN's Dana Bash on 'State of the Union' that Harris is a friend of his, but that her 'core consultants were heavily influenced by very wealthy people.' An Oct. 30, 2024, Forbes analysis found that more billionaires backed Harris than Trump. Some of Harris' supporters included film director Steven Spielberg; Eric Schmidt of Google; Laurene Powell Jobs, widow of Apple founder Steve Jobs; and Melinda French Gates, former wife of Bill Gates, Forbes says. 'How do you run for president and not develop a strong agenda which speaks to the economic crisis facing working families?' he said, adding that most Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and that the healthcare system is 'broken.' Bash then said that Harris did discuss affordability, to which Sanders replied that she did it in a 'vague' manner and that he didn't want to 'rehash' the campaign. 'I think the key to Democratic victories is to understand that you got to stand unequivocally with the working class of this country,' Sanders said. 'You need an agenda that speaks to the needs of working people." Harris said on July 30 that she won't run for California governor, leaving the door open for a potential 2028 presidential run.
