1:01 am
polls can be complicated. if alike candidate likes a pollh ore she will cited often. if a candidate does not like a poll, then the only poll thats matters isli the election.grap a poll is a photograph and a life full of videos, a snapshot, but it is all we have between now and november. new "wall street journal" poll sent a shiver down the spine of the biden campaign as it has bidenmi losing to donald trump and several crucial battlegroundld v states like pennsylvania, michigan, north carolina nor but everybody believes the polls we are the polls like the washington general in the white house where he is losing the battleground states -- >> is not losing thesing battleground states. >> why not? >> even doing better. so you know what, lots of people start to focus in and they see their two choices. it is obvious that joe will win this election. >> trey: for the slightly more objective, there were other warning signs for biden as wellh
1:02 am
young people and other reliablel econstituency seen on on thursdy about biden but it is worth pointing out for republicans heading into november 2022 andin the red mirage. what she would be looking at ore four with the election still seven months away, let's find. out.r joining aswh former white house deputy chief staff and fox news contributor, karl rove. welcome, first of all, what youo make ourfnt t"the wall street journal" poll with president trump doing well in these swing states? >> what is good news for trump and bad news for biden.pr ovlet's put it in perspective. e the states. stati ranked them by the marginr donald trump here are the best it was north carolina, which he carried last election, so thates doesn' bt advance his s call but keeps in status quo. arizona up by three, excuse me up by five nevada come up by four, these are outside the margin of error's so these numbers have a greater
1:03 am
likelihood of being actually n israte because the margi so big. this is good except two states, but this is the level of boatsl and this is sixth. it doesn't get him to 270. these are the states inside the margin of error, three points michigan, three pointshree pennsylvania, and dead even wisconsin. so these are close. two things about it, one is, in order to win, donald trump passed to win at least 2 of 4 states down here.as c and being as close as they are, this means that the race os, the races 11 or two points apart seven months from an election are essentiallm ony dead even, either person could win. this could be a coin toss or the states aren't necessarily out of reach. this one probably is
1:04 am
innorth carolina big enough marn and photo for donald trump last time, but even there they were some problems. bottom line, trump looking good today but can't take for granteo because too many states are toos close. he's got te too o move beyond se yothe three states where he is outside the margin o f error. >> trey: and want to do something radical, which isdica maybe strategize how to do more than barely win. how to go from winning by a little by winning by a lot.ll polling during the premierin suggested nikki haley supporters and what are derisively referred to as minors might not come home to the g.o.p. candidate this s fallti. is that brett still out there and that is that still a real threat? >> a real threat in front you. should ask, i have a whiteboardh for that. think about this north carolina was march 5th. nikki haley got 250,000 votes in north carolina. that is three times donald trump's victory margin four years ago. next day, she suspends herpend

1:06 am
time. and then when pressed on the issue said, "i don't think i need to many of those votes." this is a problem. he told those folks that if the financially supported nikki haley, they were permanently barred from the republican party. what happened is people started printing up t-shirts saying, permanently barred. he and no one can go into a general election with disunitede party and hope to have an easy run of it. e gerey: speaking of the general election, no label is out but robert kennedy jr. is in. does karl rove think he hurtsum titan, trump or both?t' >> today i think it is both but the thing we don't know about is how those candidates tend to play over the course of the campaign. you can sort of state libertarians will take votes from the republican and theto green party will take votes from the democrats. he'sdemoat. a different charact. the kennedy name and his viewsnr
