Taking the podium for the first time after a dramatic shake-up of the White House press shop on Friday, Anthony Scaramucci, the president's new communications director, confidently claimed at a televised news conference that the 'president is really well-loved,' in spite of polling that says otherwise.

'There tends to be a disconnection in terms of some of the things that are going on, and we want to connect that,' Scaramucci said in response to a question from DailyMail.com.

Press Secretary Sean Spicer submitted his resignation minutes after Scaramucci was ushered into President Donald Trump's inner White House circle. Deputy spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders was quickly tapped to replace him.

Gallup had released its rolling average of Trump's second-quarter approval rating earlier in the day. It gave the president the lowest favorability score of any Oval Office occupant in modern presidential history six months into the job.

'I think this ship is going to go – is going in the right direction. I think we've got to just radio-signal the direction very, very clearly,' Scaramucci declared at the White House's first on-camera briefing for reporters since last month.
