Bash referred to new polling from Fox News showing Ohio’s Senate race could put Republicans in a tough position ahead of the midterm elections after Trump’s approval rating has appeared to drop.
“That is a big flashing red sign for the president and for the Republicans on the ballot in this very red state of Ohio,” Bash said. “This is the president’s approval rating in Ohio right now. It is 42 percent, 42 percent approval. And the disapproval is 57 percent.”

That’s now a 15-point deficit, Bash explained.
“And then in November, the disapproval was 57 and 46 percent. And that is a 6 percent. So this is really a big, big problem potentially for the president,” Bash said.
Republican incumbent Senator Jon Husted was reportedly viewed less favorably by voters compared to his Democratic challenger, former Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown, according to the poll.
