"the new york times" has him leading by 14 and then there's florida which is i think we'd all agree a must-win for the president. fox news has biden up by 9, the times has biden leading by 6. marc, we all know a lot can change in 4 plus months between now and the election but why do you think, i mean, you laugh. the president is trailing and in fact, biden's lead is growing. marc: it is, it's not good for the president and sometimes the president is his own worst enemy in fueling these polls but before my friend mo and democratic friends get too excited about the numbers, 3 reasons why the president might be in better shape than we think. first of all as you said, chris, four months to go. you think of what has happened in the last four months, worst pandemic since 1918 and worst social unrest since 1960's all
