STREET JOURNAL" POLITIC EN
WITHIN-- TAKEN WITHIN THE
SAME WEEK AS "FOX NEWS
POLL," WHAT DOES THAT TELL
KARL ROVE ABOUT WHAT IS
HAPPENING, WHY ARE WE NOT
LOOKING FOR A BIGGER
REPUBLICAN VICTORY NEXT WEEK
WHEN YOU THINK OF 2010.
WHEN EVEN MORE PEOPLE
THOUGHT WE WERE ON THE RIGHT
TRACK.
>> 2010 WAS END OF DECADE
THERE WAS A LOT OF CHANGE IN
DISTRICTS.
AND IT WAS YEAR BEFORE
REDISTRICTING, THERE WAS A
LOT OF VARIABILITY IN THE
POLITICAL LANDSCAPE, IT HAS
BEEN TAKEN OUT.
AND REDISTRICTING BOTH
PARTIES PROTECT THEIR PEOPLE
AND AS A RESULT A NUMBER OF
SWING DISTRICTS SHRINK.
THE OTHER REASON THAT
SOMETHING WEIRD HAPPENED IN
2020, REPUBLICANS LOST WHITE
HOUSE YET GAINED SEATS IN
THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
LOOK AT TIME CONTROL OF
WHITE HOUSE SHIFTED FROM ONE
PARTY TO ANOTHER, ABOUT 4
OUT OF 5 TIMES WHAT YOU LOSE
WHITE HOUSE YOU LOSE SEAT IN
HOUSE, ONE OUT OF 5 YOU GAIN
SEATS THAT WHAT HAPPENED TO
REPUBLICANS IT WAS NOT 5 OR
6 BUT 14 SEATS.
THAT MEANS WE GOT A HEAD
START.
DAVID: THAT MAKES SENSE.
ANOTHER THING THAT CAME OUT
IN "WALL STREET JOURNAL"
POLL, IT IS NO BIG SURPRISE
IN TERMS OF ONE GROUP.
BUT THERE THE SHIFTS IN
VOTER GROUPS.
WE HEARD ABOUT THIS IN
LATINO POLLS OF LATINO
VOTERS WHAT WAS REFLECTED IN
"WALL STREET JOURNAL."
BUT ALSO WHITE SUBURBAN
WOMEN ARE MOVING MORE
FORWARD THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
WHY DO YOU THINK?
>> WELL I THINK BECAUSE HERE
AT END ISSUES THAT ARE
DOMINATING ARE INFLATION,
WHICH SUBURBAN WOMEN DEAL
WITH EVERY DAY.
THE GENERAL SENSE OF THE
ECONOMY.
AND CRIME IN SOME AREAS SOME
AREAS THE BORDER.
YOU KNOW MOST OF THE TIME I
AM DUBIOUS WITH MOST OF
MOVEMENTS BUT THIS GROUP
COMPRISES ROUGHLY 20% OF
TOTAL ELECTORATE THIS IS
BIG.
THERE HATS BEEN HAS BEEN
MOVEMENT.
DAVID: DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN
TELLING US IN SUMMER THAT
THE ABORTION DECISION BY
SUPREME COURT WOULD BRING
ALL WHITE SUBURB 18 SUBURBAN
WOMEN BACK.
>> IT MOMENTARILY ENERGIZED
IN GALLUP, 8%, GOT HIGHEST
NUMBER SAYING IT OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT ISSUE, TODAY IS IS
4%, GALLUP HAS A GREAT
QUESTION, WHAT PARTY DO YOU
THINK WOULD BETTER HANDLE
WHAT YOU THINK IS THE MOST
IMPORTANT ISSUE FACING
AMERICA.
THAT NUMBER TODAY IS 48 R,
AND 37 D, SECOND HIGHEST
ADVANTAGE FOR REPUBLICANS
SINCE THE QUESTION BEGAN TO
BE ANSWERED IN EARLY
1940s, IF ABORTION WERE A
BIG ISSUE, YOU WOULD THINK
THAT DEMOCRATS WOULD BE
CLOSE, THERE IS NEW GALLUP
POLL, 17% THINK THIS COUNTRY
IS GOIING IN RIGHT
DIRECTION, 40% APPROVE JOE
BIDEN AS PRESIDENT, 49%
BELIEVE THAT ECONOMY IS
POOR, 14% THINK IT IS GOOD.
WHAT IS WHAT IS DRIVING THE
ELECTION.
DAVID: YOU HAVE SEEN THE
POWER RANKING WE CAME OUT
WITH, THEY SHOW I THINK WE
HAVE A SCREEN TO PUT UP,
WHICH NUMBERS SHOW, WHERE
WOULD YOU PUT YOUR GUESS IN
TERMS OF THE NUMBER OF SEATS THAT G.O.P. PICKS UP IN
THAT G.O.P. PICKS UP IN
FOUL,FALL, WE’RE WE’RE AT
ABOUT 236.
>> I THINK -- THAT IS A GAIN
OF MORE THAN 13 SEATS, WE’RE
AT 212.
212.
>> I AM SORRY, YEAH.
THAT WAS WITHOUT THE TOSS
UPS.
>> AND THEY ASSUME THAT THE
REPUBLICANS ONLY WIN HALF OF
THE TAWTS TOSS UPS, THEY
MIGHT WIN MORE, I HAVE BEEN
A 20 TO 25 PERSON, LEANS
MORE FOR 20, NOW MORE TOWARD
25, I WANT TO LOOK IN DEPTH
AT THE RACES, THERE WILL BE
SOME CLOSE RACES.
AT THE END THEY TEND TO FALL
ALL ONE DIRECTION.
>> ONE THING THAT A LOT OF
FAMILIES IN AMERICA HAVE
DISCOVERED IS THAT DOWN
BALLOT RACES ARE IMPORTANT
THAT USUALLY NATIONAL MEDIA
DOES NOT GIVE MUCH ATTENTION
TO, THOSE OF THE RACES THAT
AFFECT YOUR LIVES, CONCERNS
CRIME, AND EDUCATION AND ARE
WE SEEING A SEA CHANGE IN
THOSE DOWN BALLOT ISSUES?
>> WELL, I’M ONBOARD OF
REPUBLICAN STATE LEADERSHIP
COMMITTEE THAT FOCUSING ON
DOWN BALLOT RACES, WE’LL
LIKELY SEE REPUBLICANS PICK
UP LEGISLATIVE SEATS
INCLUDING SOME CHAMBERS, WE
MAY BE TO WHERE WE WERE IN
1920S FOR LAST TIME,
REPUBLICANS NOSING AROUND
4,000 STATE LEGISLATORS AND
DEMOCRATS $3,000 OR LESS,
THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED IN 90
YEARS, I THINK WE MAY BE
BACK TO THAT.
DAVID: WHAT ABOUT THE CRIME
ISSUES, DISTRICT ATTORNEY
AND STUFF THAT ONES -- THAT
WERE FUNDED BY GEORGE SOROS
A HUGE MISTAKE, ARE WE
GETTING RID OF SOME OF
THOSE?
THIS ELECTION?
>> SOME ARE ON THE BALLOT
LIKE IN TEXAS WE HAVE COUNTY
D.A. ON THE BALLOT IN THIS
ELECTION.
PROBLEM IS THAT MANY
INSTANCES THEY ARE NOT ON
THE BALLOT IN THIS -- THEY
ARE ON WHEN THEY HAVE
MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS FOR
EXAMPLE IN PENNSYLVANIA THEY
ARE NOT.
I BELIEVE.
IT REALLY DEPENDS BUT THE
ISSUE OF CRIME WILL DRIVE
LEGISLATIVE ELECTIONS AND
LOCAL ELECTIONS IN PLACES
LIKE WISCONSIN AND TEXAS.
WE HAVE A GREAT CANDIDATE
FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY,
LARGEST COUNTY IN AMERICA
TODAY WITH MACHINE MACHINE
REPUBLICAN D.A. HE IS
RETIRING, LIKELY TO SEE A
FORM AREFORMER JUDGE TAKE
HIS PLACE, IT WILL HAVE A
BIG IMPACT, I THINK WE’LL
SEE A COUPLE CONGRESSIONAL
SEATS FLIP IN OREGON AND
PERHAPS, A REPUBLICAN
GOVERNOR THERE, AFTER WHAT
HAPPENED IN PORTLAND AFTER
THE DEATH OF GEORGE FLOYD,
PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF IT.
WE’RE LIKELY TO SEE OTHER
RACES THAT GRABS PEOPLE’S
ATTENTION.
DAVID: NEW YORK?
WHAT HAPPENS IN THE GOVERNOR
RACE.
>> WOW.
THERE IS ONE REASON WHY THIS
IS CLOSING, LORETTA PLEASE
LEE ZELDIN MADE CRIME THE
ISSUE, AND THAT IS ON FRONT
OF MIND OF A LOT OF NEW
YORKERS.
THIS WILL BE A BARN BURNER
AT THE END.
