joining me now to break down our findings in the latest poll, nbc news political correspondent, mark murrayld trump, the impacts of this indictment defies all previously believed to lhasa politics. tell us a little bit more about this new polling and what it tells us about how republicans are reacting. >> yeah, chris, i think the simplest explanation of why don't know trump's numbers have increased in this national republican or presidential primary is that republican primary voters really don't carol that much about the indictment. we asked a question, do you have concerns. 77% of republican primary voters say that they don't have concerns, or maybe just minor concerns. that's versus 55% of all registered voters who say,, yes i have major or moderate concerns about the most recent indictment. chris, one of the things that really stands out to me is just a drop in altitude for ron desantis. you mentioned donald trump's numbers going up five points since april, well, desantis's numbers have gone down nine points since april. that really does kind of stand out. a time in which donald trump ha

nbc's mark murray joins us now. mp this weekend and ask you about it on the other side. >> when i was president, the world was stable and calm because america was respected and strong. now as we see in russia and all of these other places this whole world is on fire. this world is on fire. before i even arrive at the oval office i will have the horrible war between russia and ukraine totally settled. i'll have it done in 24 hours. >> so that leads me to the question of whether or not this is going to be a situation where having rallied the allies behind ukraine, this looks good for joe biden, or conversely does it add to a sense of unease from some voters that maybe hurts him or that they're listening more to donald trump? >> yeah. you know, and chris, our latest nbc news poll that just came out over the weekend shows a very, very competitive hypothetical match-up between president biden and donald trump, with biden leading just by four percentage points. very close to what we ended up seeing in the 2020 election. an

murray. tell us what else is on this tape. >> this is striking because donald trump is in a meeting with two writers who are writing a book for mark meadows, chief of staff. none of these people have security clearance and they're all talking very casually about this very sensitive document at a time when trump was furious with mark milley, joint chiefs of staff. >> these are bad, sick people. >> that was your coup, you know, against you. like when milley is talking about, no, they were trying to do that before you even were sworn in. >> that's right. trying to overthrow. >> with milley, let me see that. i'll show you an example. he said that i wanted to attack iran. isn't it amazing? i have a big pile of papers. this thing just came up. look. this was him. they presented me this. this is off the record. they presented me this. this was him. this was the defense department and him. we looked at them. this wasn't done by me. this was him. all sorts of stuff. pages long. let's see here. isn't that amazing? this totally win my case, you know. except it is highly confidential, secret. secret. look at this. >> now, trump told fox news
