HE WHAT WE NEED TO BE DISCUSSING.
DISCUSSING. AND WE NEED TO DO IT IN PRIMARY.
GAL
GAL GALLUP, PRESIDENT TRUMP’S
STATE--BY-STATE APPROVAL,
STATE--BY-STATE APPROVAL, SLIGHTLY UP FROM LAST YEAR.
16 STATES RATED HIM BELOW 40%,
ONE FEWER THAN THE YEAR BEFORE.
BUT THE STATES WHERE TRUMP IS
POPULAR ARE FAR LESS POPULATED
THAN WHERE HE IS CHRONICALLY
UNPOPULAR, IF THAT MAKES SENSE.
JUDGING BY THEIR WEIGHT IN THE
ELECTORAL COLLEGE, THERE ARE
JUST 102 ELECTORAL VOTES IN THE
STATES WHERE HIS APPROVAL IS
ABOUT 50%.
ABOUT 50%. YET TRUMP’S APPROVAL REMAINED
ABOVE 40% IN EVERY SWING STATE
HE CARRIED IN 2016.
THEN THERE ARE THE NUMBERS IN
TEXAS WHERE THE PRESIDENT’S
AAPPROVAL WAS 41% LAST YEAR, 52%
DISAPPROVED, THAT’S A NEGATIVE.
>> WELL, YOU NOSHS THE CHALLENGE
RIGHT NOW IS THAT THE DEMOCRATIC
FIELD IS STILL SO AMORE
PHYSICAL, YOU’VE GOT SO MANY
DIFFERENT CANNEDS TO DEFINE WHAT
THESE NUMBERS MEAN AT POINT.
WE DO NO THIS GOING TO COME
COUNSEL TO THOSE SAME STATES
WHERE THE PRESIDENT WON BY SMALL
MARGINS AND HIS PATH TO VICTORY
WILL BE VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT IT
WAS IN 2016?
AND CAN THEY MAKE A CASE WHETHER
IT’S ABOUT THE RIGGED NEW DEAL.
CAN THEY MAKE THE CONTRAST WITH
THE PRESIDENT?
THE PRESIDENT? I AGREE IT’S NOT GOING TO BE
ENOUGH TO SIMPLY SAY, LOOK, THE
PRESIDENT’S A BAD GUY, I DON’T
LIKE THE PRESIDENT.
PEOPLE’S VIEWS ARE BAKED FROM A
LOT OF THE THIS POLINGBUT AGAIN,
LET’S LOOK AT THOSE STATES.
TEXAS, THE PRESIDENT SITTING AT
41%.
41%. IN WISCONSIN, HE’S IN THE LOW
40s.
40s. YOU LOOK AT MESH BEGAN, HE’S IN
THE LO OF, 42 IN MICHIGAN, 42 IN
WISCONSIN, ONLY 43 IN ARIZONA,
43 IN FLORIDA AND, AGAIN, LAST
YEAR SITTING AT 41% IN THE STATE
OF TEXAS, A STATE THAT TED CRUZ
ONLY WON BY THREE POINTS.
>> I WAS GOING TO SAY BETO
PROVED THAT A DEMOCRAT CAN DO
WELL AND ALMOST FLIP IT JUST A
COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO.
WE’LL SEE IF TEXAS IS READY ON
THE PRESIDENTIAL LEVEL WHEN THAT
COMES UP IN A YEAR AND A HALF OR
SO.
SO. SENATOR McCASKILL, YOU’RE THE
PERFECT PERSON WHO CAN WIN IN
2020 BECAUSE YOU’RE THE KIND OF
PERSON WHO HAS HAD TO TALK TO
PEOPLE, TALK TO CONSERVATIVES.
WHAT WOULD YOU TELL PEOPLE ABOUT
WINNING BACK PLACES LIKE
MICHIGAN THE POINT IS TO REA.
FRANK WILL, MOST OF THEM AREN’T
REALLY SURE WHAT THE NEW GREEN
DEAL IS.
DEAL IS. EVERYBODY WANTS TO DO MORE AS IT
RELATES TO THE ENVIRONMENT.
WE DO NOTE THAT A THEY REALLY
WORRIED ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT
THEY CAN AFFORD TO RETIRE AND
REALLY ABOUT WHETHER THEIR
NEPHEW CAN THEY’RE GOING TO BE
MUCH BETTER EQUIPPED TO MOVE
INTO OHIO, WISCONSIN, MICHIGAN,
PENNSYLVANIA, TEXAS.
PENNSYLVANIA, TEXAS. AS YOU LOOKED AT THOSE ELECTORAL
VOTES, THEY’RE 70 SHORT.
SO YOU’VE GOT TO WIN SOME OF THE
STATES WHERE 45 AND FOO AND
