on with these numbe is the ople have made up their mind about president trump, that's been the case for months if not e entirety of his two years in office. we did see tru supporters and republicans who are more pe mistis about the country and overall people are diatisfied seeing a divided country. a lot of dissatisfied voices, both democrat and republican as a result of the tshutdown. >> big news we got, former starbus ceo howard schultz is considering an independent run in 2020. does this poll offer any clues about how he might do and talk about why democrats seemed so concerned today. >> our poll didn't measure schultz or any oth potential democrats who might run for the presidential rape rac president presidential race. but it had a look at president trump's standing.

to me schultz running it almost lowers the potential winning percent. trump's perce of winning is 48, 49, 50% if y have a nominal third party candidate. but if you have a significant third party cdidate with billions of dollars as schultz has to use, then all of a sudden the winning percentage for dona trump might be 45 or 46%. a much more realistic path for him to winning reelection if the third party candidate gets a good 4, 5, 6% of the vote. >> the president said he didn't havehe guts >> he did. he tweeted about howard schultz. he didn'tweet about kamala harris. to me that's a sign that maybe president trump wants to talk up howard schultz because he kws his path to reelection is better with him in the field. >>st integ. so for the president, at least, the more the t merriet's the way it stands right now. we're getting in late word,
