Overnight Briefing & General Reality Check - May 2, 2019

It's interesting to note that DONALD TRUMP's approval rating is at its highest level since April of last year in a new CNN poll. Of course, he's not doing that well --52-percent still disapprove and just 43-percent approve-- but the number is the highest since an earlier poll from around the 100-day mark of Trump's presidency.

While we're on the poll track, a new one from Quinnipiac University says 70 percent of registered voters surveyed were open to electing a gay president --although a little more than. But 52 percent of the people polled said they don't believe America is ready for a gay president.

MARIE OSMOND will reportedly replace SARA GILBERT on "The Talk," according to TMZ.com. Marie is still starring in her Las Vegas show with Donny which means she will have to fly back and forth to New York City to do both gigs. CARRIE ANN INABA, SHARON OSBOURNE, EVE and SHERYL UNDERWOOD currently co-host the show.
