joining us now, is david plouffe, former campaign manager to the obama administration.ion to this, a new lawyers poll on the congressional ballot. >> well, listen. a good poll for bennett democrats these days are like coming across water when you've been in the desert for a few weeks. we will take ... i think it is too early to see if that is a trend, lawrence. i think the macro thing that needs to change here is that we need to see the right direction. we're on track. a poll earlier this week by gallup which had a huge majority of the american people, 70%, we're satisfied with their own situation. but not with the countries. as the situation turns into a pandemic situation, hopefully, we can do more for the economy. as you have shine a spot on the republicans, it has to be a choice not a referendum. you can see those macro numbers getting better. that is when needs to happen for democrats. to make a case on what they want to do. also, to put the republicans on trial. if you give them power, all we are going to see is, basically, efforts to make health care more expensi
