THE LONGEST-RUNNING SHOW IN
TELEVISION HISTORY.
THIS IS "MEET THE PRESS" WITH
CHUCK TODD.
>>> GOOD SUNDAY MORNING.
AMERICANS ARE SEETHING AT THEIR
POLITICAL LEADERS AND AT EACH
OTHER.
THAT'S ACCORDING TO A BRAND NEW
NBC NEWS POLL WE ARE RELEASING
RIGHT NOW.
THEY'RE DISSATISFIED WITH WHAT
SEEMS TO BE IN, VITTABLE.
A 2024 REMATCH BETWEEN JOE BIDEN
AND DONALD TRUMP, AS BIDEN
PREPARES TO FORMALLY ANNOUNCE
HIS CAMPAIGN FOR A SECOND TERM
THIS BEAKWEEK JUST ONE IN FOUR
AMERICANS BELIEVE HE SHOULD RUN
FOR RE-ELECTION 70% SAY HE
SHOULDN'T RUN.
BY THE WAY, ONLY 5% OF AMERICANS
ACTUALLY WANT BOTH OF THESE
GENTLEMEN TO RUN AND LET ME SHOW
YOU EVEN MORE OF THIS POLL.
50% OF 2020 BIDEN VOTERS SAY HE
SHOULDN'T RUN.
50% WHO VOTEDED FOR SANDERS
THINK HE SHOULDN'T RUN AND 76%
OF VOTERS UNDER 35 THINK HE
SHOULDN'T RUN AND WHAT'S THE TOP
CONCERN FOR THAT?
WE DIDN'T PROMPT THEM.
WE SAID WHY DON'T YOU THINK HE
SHOULD RUN?
THESE ARE THE RESPONSES AND IT
ALMOST IS ALL ABOUT HIS AGE AND
HIS ABILITY TO DO THE JOB.
AGAIN, THESE ARE AMONG
DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY VOTERS.
OVERALL THE PRESIDENT'S JOB
RATING IS NOT IN A GOOD PLACE WHEN YOU'RE SEEKING RE-ELECTION
WHEN YOU'RE SEEKING RE-ELECTION
AT JUST 151%, AND 30% OF
INDEPENDENTS APPROVE OF THE JOB
BIDEN IS DOING OVERALL.
BUT IS BIDEN IS FOND OF SAYING,
HE IS NOT TO BE JUDGED BY THE
ALMIGHTY, BUT THE JUDGE HIM BY
THE ALTERNATIVE AND THE
ALTERNATIVE IS EVEN MORE
UNPOPULAR AMONG THE AMERICAN
PUBLIC.
HERE ARE THE FEEL BGS DONALD
TRUMP.
ONE IN THREE AMERICANS HAVE
POSITIVE FEELINGS ABOUT HIM.
A MAJORITY HAVE NEGATIVE
FEELINGS SITTING AT 53%.
AMONG VOTERS OVERALL A MAJORITY
BELIEVE THAT THE CHARGES IN NEW
YORK ARE -- ARE SERIOUS ENOUGH
BECAUSE HE SHOULD BE HELD TO THE
SAME STANDARD AS EVERYONE ELSE.
43% BELIEVE HE'S UNFAIRLY
TARGETED AND THAT'S THE NUMBER
THAT SEEMS TO STICK BEHIND
DONALD TRUMP, AND AMONG VOTERS
IT APPEARS THE NEW YORK
INDICTMENT GALVANIZED THIS
SUPPORT.
WE ASKED THEM WHETHER THE
CHARGES ARE POLITICALLY
MOTIVATED ATTACK AND THEY STAND
BEHIND DONALD TRUMP OR DO THE
CHARGES SAY HE HAS DISRAKZTRACTI
IN HIS WAY AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO
NOM NOMINATE JOE BIDEN.
ONLY ONE IN FOUR REPUBLICAN
VOTERS BELIEVE IT IS TIME TO
MOVE ON, AND THAT TRANSLATES
INTO THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY
MATCHUP HERE.
DONALD TRUMP WITH 46%.
LOOK, RON DESANTIS THAT'S A
HEALTHY NUMBER FOR SOMEONE WHO
HASN'T RUN FOR PRESIDENT BEFORE,
AND MORE THAN HILLARY CLINTON IN
2007 AND WHEN YOU COMBINE FIRST
AND SECOND CHOICE YOU SEE THAT
TRUMP AND DESANTIS COULD VERY
WELL END UP IN A NECK AND NECK
RACE HERE, BUT THAT'S THE POINT.
DONALD TRUMP SEEMS TO BE AS
STRONG, IF NOT STRONGER WITH THE
GROUPS THAT MATTER THE MOST WHEN
IT COMES TO WINNING THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY.
ONE MORE MAJOR TAKE AWAY, AND AS
THE SUPREME COURT KEEPS MIFF
PRICE
MIFEPRISTONE AVAILABLE FOR NOW,
ABORTION IS ENERGIZING VOTERS.
NEARLY 60% OF VOTERS WANT
ABORTION ACCESS TO REMAIN LEGAL,
AND AMONG, READY FOR THIS?
AMONG THE 43% WHO TOLD US THAT
ABORTION IS THE SINGLE ISSUE
THAT DRIVES THEM TO THE POLLS,
THEY BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE LEGAL
BY A 65-34% MARGIN.
THIS IS ANOTHER SIGN THAT THE
ENERGY IS ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE OF THIS ISSUE AFTER DOBBS WHEN
OF THIS ISSUE AFTER DOBBS WHEN
ROE V. WADE WAS LAW OF THE LAND.
SINGLE-ISSUE ABORTION VOTERS
ALMOST UNIVERSALLY LEANED
REPUBLICAN.
THE CAUCUS'S MOST IMPORTANT
DEMOGRAPHIC, RELIGIOUS VOTERS.
DONALD TRUMP DIDN'T APPEAR TO
THE EVENT.
HE SENT A VIDEO CLAIMING CREDIT
FOR THE SUPREME COURT JUSTICIS
HE APPOINTED AND THE FORMER VICE
PRESIDENT TOOK DONALD TRUMP ON
ON THE ISSUE OF ABORTION.
>> I FACED DOWN VILE ATTACKS TO
CONFIRM OUR THREE GREAT SUPREME
COURT JUSTICES NEIL GORSUCH,
BRETT CAVANAUGH, AMY CONEY
BARRETT.
>> I DO THINK IT IS MORE LIKELY
