Pollster warns Democrats' 'amateurish' anti-Trump antics are 'tanking' with Americans

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.

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.

"I was so disappointed that my Democratic colleagues couldn't stand and show love for some of the Americans that were recognized tonight. That was really heartbreaking to me," Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., told Fox News Digital. "You have a little 13-year-old boy with brain cancer who worked diligently to overcome that. For him, when his dad lifted him up, for him to look out across that room and not to have everyone in there standing for him was heartbreaking."

The Democrats' official response was delivered by Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, who rebuked Trump's handling of the war in Ukraine and pursuit of a peace deal with Russia.

"We all want an end to the war in Ukraine, but [President Ronald] Reagan understood that true strength required America to combine our military and economic might with moral clarity," said Slotkin. 

"As a Cold War kid, I'm thankful it was Reagan and not Trump in office in the 1980s. Trump would have lost us the Cold War."
