‘A little Pollyanna-ish?’ CNN anchor pushes back on GOP lawmaker after Trump approval drop

A Republican lawmaker got some pushback from a CNN anchor Friday over claims that the economy was improving — despite recent polling that voters feel otherwise and President Donald Trump's plummeting approval rating.

Rep. Mark Haridopolos (R-FL) attempted to argue that things were better in the United States today than they were a year ago — and that's when CNN's Jim Sciutto pushed back.

"We think our good policies, which are moving the economy forward, are making results," Haridopolos said.
