Arizona 'birther' lawmaker meeting with Trump

An Arizona state lawmaker who's backing a bill to force presidential candidates to prove their constitutional qualifications says he is meeting with current king of the birthers Donald Trump on Friday at his Manhattan office tower.

State Rep. Carl Seel, backer of HB2177 – a bill that has been moving through the state legislature in Arizona – plans to meet with Trump to talk about his piece of legislation, which would require a "certified birth certificate" for presidential candidates appearing on the ballot starting next year.

A Trump aide couldn't immediately be reached to confirm the meeting.

But it would come a day after an interview with Trump aired on the "Today" show in which he said he has investigators on the ground in Hawaii rummaging through the questions he has about President Obama's birth.

Trump has put the "birther" issue into the mainstream press in a way that hasn't happened in the past two years, in just three weeks of TV interviews.

Meanwhile, a new Gallup poll showed that Trump's favorable ratings are roughly where they were 12 years ago when he last looked at running for president, with 43 percent giving him a thumbs-up and 47 percent seeing him unfavorably.

Americans have mixed opinions about potential presidential candidate Donald Trump, with 43% viewing him favorably and 47% unfavorably. Trump's public image is roughly the same now as it was in September 1999, when the real estate mogul was also exploring the idea of running for president.
