A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds President Trump’s job approval rating has declined to the lowest point of his presidency, 38% to 58%.

“Looking ahead to the 2018 midterm elections, which take place a year from now, 48% of registered voters in the poll say they prefer a Democratic-controlled Congress, while 41% want a Republican-controlled Congress.”

“President Trump’s eldest son, Donald Jr., is expected to launch two residential projects in India for the Trump Organization in the coming weeks, continuing the family’s promotion of the Trump empire despite concerns over the president’s potential conflicts of interest with foreign governments,” the Washington Post reports.

“The Trump Organization vowed early on there would be ‘no new foreign deals’ during Trump’s tenure as president; these two projects in India were inked before his election.”

“But the high-profile launches demonstrate that the pledge comes with an asterisk — agreements made years ago can move forward or be revitalized, such as the Trumps’ 2007 deal to build a luxury beachfront resort in the Dominican Republic that may be revived.”

Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) told the Washington Post that he spoke out against President Trump because, “I couldn’t sleep at night having to embrace the president or condoning his behavior or being okay with some of his positions.”

He added: “I knew that when I spoke out at that time that I was out of step with a lot of the Republican primary voters, but I felt that I had to do it. I had hoped — and I still hope and I’m confident at some point — that the fever will break. But it just became more and more apparent that it certainly wasn’t going to break by next year.”

Matt Miller, a former Obama Justice Department official, emails Mike Allen on reports of pending indictments in special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe: “I think it means this will be a rolling investigation. Rather than conduct his entire investigation and then wrap things up with indictments and possibly a report at the end, he is doing it in stages, the way the Justice Department might attack a drug cartel or a mafia family.”

He added that this “is a watershed moment for the politics surrounding the investigation.”

“You have no weight issues, that’s the good news, right? So, you take out whatever you need, okay?”

— President Trump, quoted by the Washington Post, handing out Halloween candy in the Oval Office to children of White House reporters.

Roll Call suggests the most likely indictments from special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation — coming as soon as Monday — are Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn and Carter Page.

The “long shots” are Donald Trump Jr. and Jared Kushner.

“If Mueller is targeting the commander in chief, going after his son or son-in-law this early would be a way of getting Trump’s attention.”
