here to break it down is nbc national political correspondent steve kornacki at the big board.h us is matthew dowd as well. karnak i can, if you will, walk us why we chose these counties specifically and what they could tell us about the 2024 election. >> more than 3,100 counties in the country. we'll look deeply at seven between now and election day 2024. you showed it a minute ago. here is the seven. these are counties that will be very important in many cases in swing states that could decide the election. these are also counties that demographically could be relevant in terms of the broader national picture. some key demographic groups you can isolate in some of these counties and maybe get a sense of where not just in that county, but across the country they might be going. let's take a 30,000-foot tour of the seven and why they were chosen. dane county, wisconsin, a big county. university of wisconsin at madison is there. this is a hugely democratic county. what we're looking at dane for is democratic energy, democratic turnout, democratic mobilization. in the 2020 presid

nbc news national political correspondent steve kornacki joins us this morning from his big boards.hat else did we learn in this poll? >> some interesting numbers here. you take a look, as you mentioned trump leading in our new poll with the des moines register and now significantly an outright majority of republican caucus goers in iowa, 51% say they support the former president, desantis 19, haley 16, the other two in single-digits. as you mentioned as well, that is for trump a gain of eight points since the last time we polled in iowa, which was back in october. trump is the one from this list who's got the momentum, at least according to this poll, and i think what's significant about that is if you think back over to last month or so, ron desantis has been really trying to make a play in iowa to really use that as a launching pad for his campaign, and in the last month, he picked up the endorsement of the governor of iowa. he picked up the endorsement of the key evangelical leader in iowa. he got a lot of press for completing a tour of all 99 counties in iowa and participated i

you've got the big board, brian, with the details from this report. what stands out?in 2023, and as we end the year it still looks pretty good. 199,000 jobs added in the month of november, that's faster than the pace we saw in october. also above what economists had expected, and the unemployment rate went down to 3.7% in the month of november, down from 3.9% in october. so, okay, where do we see the job gains in the month? we saw it in these sectors, leisure and hospitality, bars and restaurants adding 40,000 jobs. health care, a faster pace than we had seen in prior months adding almost 77,000 jobs in the month, and motor vehicles and parts adding 30,000 jobs. i highlight this because the uaw strike ended at the end of october, this is the first report that reflects the resolution of that strike, so 30,000 people getting back to work. that was perhaps the reason why we saw some of the job gains overall. again, a big picture, it looks pretty good and the economy looking very strong specifically on the jobs side of things, ana. >> so what does that mean in terms of in

we held up -- we went on that big board over there and showed efficiency in math yesterday and the numbersbetter in florida this the is time where parents were figuring out what was being taught to their kids. there was a point in the debate and we played that in the flashback there where he is questioning -- ron desantis brings one of the books and he says do you support this? pornography being taught to our kids and all newsom does is accuse desantis of being a hateful person. never addressing should kids be having that material in their classroom. so it was really a debate of facts vs. emotions. and i just wonder if the independent voters are going to buy the slick guy or are they going to buy the facts that happened in florida. >> i don't think desantis is vulnerable on covid. is he not vulnerable when it comes to taxes, zero tax in the state. people come there because they want additional opportunities. is he not vulnerable on illegal immigration. they thought it was gavin newsom's thought process that bring out mash thapsz vineyard and sending those illegal immigrants to martha's vin
