no wonder his poll numbers are kind of going down if you look at the quinnipiac poll and quinnipiac is to polling what cnn is to journalism. the quinnipiac poll digs through to find its 22%, the numbers are much much worse. laura: a lot of these suburban women the question remains how long will they stick with biden if they continue to push a slow roll of reopenings. as you've seen happening in michigan none of the ivy league schools, new england still putting a lot of pressure to keep these restrictions in place and the suburban women were key to biden, were they not? >> they were and we've seen some pushback in suburbs around the country, in my hometown in illinois and places like california on the issue of school openings, school board elections, there is real grassroots pushback against keeping schools close to the extent those policies stay in place, that become an issue for biden, not only his overall standing by democrats in 2022 which is right around the corner already. >> on the issue of the covid messaging, ron desantis governor of florida called out the biden team today. >>

i moved to quinnipiac. so i have moved around quite a bit and my accent probably reflects that we were speaking with the ambassador before about a wonderful irish man. john hugh another wonderful irishman and the ambassador was saying you his message is that unity comes through accepting diversity and to me that is exactly the message preached through frederick douglass and just hearing what molly has planned for this year. i think it's for because frederick douglass as we know he didn't know is 200 years old this year and if you did notice he is dead but you to agree he is doing wonderful work. he is incredible and he may be dead, but i think very much his legacy lives on so you have a wonderful program molly. it's great and my own specialty is his relationship with ireland which was enduring and i think very special so i'm going to talk about that relationship. how did i say? how did i an irish historian come to frederick? so i am a historian of ireland my specialty which i've written about is the great f

know, year after year, poll after poll shows widespread support for universal background checks, quinnipiac this week looked at background checks for gun violence, and 84% among republicans and 84 among rural residents. you don't get much more of a slam dunk than that as far as polling goes, and why is it not getting done on the senate side? >> for some strange reason the senate is under the control of people who seem not to have much respect for what is the truth. it is the truth that 90% of all attempted gun purchases get -- >> oh, we lost our congressman clyburn there and hope to get him back soon, and it's an important conversation of what we are seeing across the country when it comes to gun violence. >>> in the meantime, i will ask the man that orchestrated the raid that osama bin laden. >>> we're going to talk about what could lean us to a greener world, and a wild seen on the florida beach where there's a textbook emergency landing. first, a massive mild stone to beat back the pandemic, 50% of the u.s. adults have gotten at least one vaccine shot. with crisp veggies on freshly baked

we have foreign news polls from monmouth university and quinnipiac and kaiser family foundation. we also have pbs newshour all pointing to 40% to 46% of people who identify as republicans refuse to get vaccinated. we have to work on that. finally, not many people are aware of this is the russian government. the putin government, this is being report by u.s. and british intelligence, has launched a very aggressive program of what's being called weaponized health communication to actually take advantage of this and destabilize our democracy, and they are doing it around vaccines, so those three have to be confronted. >> thanks so much. appreciate it. >>> one state lawmaker's mask meltdown result in an airline suspending her. now it takes her more than half a day to drive to work. stay with us. not everybody wants the same thing. that's why i go with liberty mutual — they customize my car insurance so i only pay for what i need.

of resistance now based on four national polls that have come out, one from monmouth university, quinnipiacversity, pbs news hour, and kaiser, all pointing to what they call republicans are the one group that's most vaccine hesitant, about 40 to 45% of republicans saying they may not take the vaccine or won't take the vaccine. and when you add up the numbers, that's about 10% of the adult population who identify themselves as republicans. that's where we've got to work harder, at reaching conservative groups i'm trying to go out and reach conservative news outlets, that we have to fix >> if they'll listen we know we can vaccinate our way out of this because we're seeing them do it in israel yesterday, not one covid death in all of israel for the first time in ten months they did it with vaccines. and it's a huge breakthrough does it signal to you that with enough vaccines, we could do this, and if we don't get enough, could we end up like, i don't know, india? >> well, i don't know about india, but we can vaccinate our way out of this epidemic if all the adults and adolescents get vaccinate

joining me, assistant professor of criminal justice at quinnipiac that served as a police officer. we're going to be joined momentarily by correspondent kathy park live there in elizabeth city. let me begin with what we saw there collectively because anyone that was watching this could immediately ascertain that the lawyers as well as family were angered by the shenanigans of what we saw play out. that is they were told according to lawyers that they would be given access to the videos of the shooting and yet in "the 11th hour," according to ben crump, that changed. the family was denied legal presence they wanted in that screening room and were saying because of the county attorney, michael cox, who denied them access to it, according to bakari sellers, using strong language saying he would not be bullied. what do you make of what we witnessed, the transparency that the family and lawyers can't see anything but a 20 second video. >> first and foremost this private tragedy is our public tram a, so we share in this family grievance, they're grieving and their lost. transparency is t

look at joe biden approval rating from quinnipiac that came out earlier this week 39% on guns.ns, 34% among independents and so you put all those things together and it does not seem he can stand up threatened talk and implore republicans to act. unless he is able to sit down and republicans in the senate to find out what is doable and what can pass to congress nothing is going to get done. >> bill, it depends on the issue that he asked about as far as the latest polling on his approval pugh overall about the biden approval is at 59% for the presidency. he was asked a question about priorities. and legislation. where do you think guns fall? >> oh, you are asking me. >> bret: bill bennett, yes, sir. >> sorry, sorry. well, you know, about that question, it was curious. i don't have a reporter's ear. you do. but that was the first question by the a.p. he rattled off an answer, six, seven items. at the know that question was coming just a question i have. i think it's a very high priority for him because he thinks that's a very powerful issue for his base and he is right. that is a

a recent quinnipiac survey showing 45% of republicans don't plan on getting a vaccine.% of republicans will likely never get a shot. these are just the latest string of surveys showing a disproportionate number of conservatives declining doses. it is all starting to show up in real life statistics and trends with blue states now steadily outpacing reliably red states nationwide when it comes to vaccination numbers. also within those conservatives resisting the vaccine is an overwhelming number of republican men. here's what some residents in smith county, one of the reddest counties in mississippi, had to say about the prospect of getting a shot. >> do you plan to get vaccinated? >> no, ma'am. >> how come? >> cuz i'm a good old country boy. i don't need it. >> i made up my mind 40 years ago never to get another flu shot. >> so no flu shot, no covid vaccine. >> it's the flu, it ain't covid. it's the flu. >> i've just got questions. and i don't feel like my questions have been answered. we have news media outlets that say one thing and then we have another outlet that say

and on that note, the latest quinnipiac university poll shows that 48% approve of the president's jobndling of the coronavirus. on the economy, 50% approve. 42% disapprove. on taxes, 45% approve. 42% disapprove. and on the situation at the southern border, just 29% approve of that issue while 55% disapprove. joining us now, white house editor for politico, sam stein. sam, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> the polling here, obviously, the white house is acutely aware of where they stand with voters right now. and i think it has underscored to them that president biden's approach of trying to make sure he's including everyone in the way he talks about issues has been successful for them. i remember arguing with the campaign aides, back when biden's campaign was struggling, and they kept insisting, you know what, the democratic electorate is broader than you think it is, bigger than what you hear on twitter, and it seems like that was borne out not just in the campaign, but also now in the early days of governing. >> i agree with that. and i think they've stuck to a governing doct

the lowest comes from quinnipiac at 48% and pew research at 59%.ove water, pretty much. >> in most polls he's 50%, putting up a number higher than his predecessor did. and the white house is heartened by these numbers. they believe it's a testament to not only a change of tone and style from the. the and they feel americans were fatigued by the end of the trump era. more than that, they point to concrete results. in particular, the covid relief bill being passed, the surge in vaccine distribution, as they like to say $1400 checks in pocket and shots in arms. now they're pivoting to this infrastructure and jobs program. one more point that we should note is these are pieces of legislation that, though they have not gotten much in the way of republican support in congress in washington, they have received some republican support from mayors and governors. in particular, gop voters. that's how the white house likes to claim these things are bipartisan. >> so, obviously, lots of issues that the biden administration is tackling. we talk about a full pla

poor a numbers when it comes to managing the border only 29 percent of americans in the latest quinnipiac poll approve of how he's doing this there is a slight drop off in the current preliminary figures for april where the number of people crossing when it comes to families and when it comes to children who have traveled here alone but overall the number is this is expected to still reach more than 150000 in just the month of april alone and we're seeing criticism of that coming from some democrats even like senator mark kelly of arizona who responded to biden's speech yesterday by saying that it lacked a plan on how to address this border issue so with those numbers still very high certainly the border is something that biden has to consider when he is eyeing reelection in the future and of course democrats who want to retain their very slim majority in congress in the upcoming election which is just a year away. castro speaking to us from helen in texas heidi for the moment thank you well john holeman is live for us in de why though in the mexican side of the border with us i mean i'm

there's 45% of conservatives, according to a recent quinnipiac poll say that they are not going to getonavirus vaccine. that matters in a state here like mississippi because almost 60% of the people in mississippi voted for donald trump in 2020. it also comes down to trust. and as so many things do, it comes down to trust and with a significant black population here in the state, 40% of the population is black in mississippi. only 40% of that 40% has actually gotten a coronavirus vaccine. there's a significant portion of this state that has yet to go. what are they doing about it? i talk to dr. thomas dobbs, the state health officer here in mississippi. they're trying to get people where the vaccine is. they're trying to get to the schools, the churches, the community health centers and trying to make that happen for folks and also happens to be just one on one conversations that sometimes do the trick. here's what dr. dobbs had to say. >> so different people need different messages, and we're trying to tailor those messages to the subgroups of people that have those questions. and as

former police officer and criminal justice professor at quinnipiac university. let me begin with you, doctor, if i may. your reaction to what we're seeing here right now with this prosecution's cross examination of dr. fowler. this was a pretty powerful moment when, at least in my opinion, when they got dr. fowler to say they believed that there was a chance to reverse the condition that george floyd was in, had there been an attempt to reverse that cardiac arrest, which dr. fowler talked about earlier. >> yes. i think the cross examination is pretty effective. and we all thought that this would be a constant between medical experts or science. in this case it's dr. tobin versus dr. fowler and i would argue dr. tobin is winning. what the cross examination demonstrated is, one, dr. fowler is not a pulmonologist. he's not a cardiologist and he as not a toxicologist. so the type of indicators that would be present physiologically in the body of george floyd that would need to be ascertained to have a correct sort of diagnosis of what caused the death, he did not pe

we have four independent polls coming from monmouth university, quinnipiac university and the kaiser family foundation, from pbs newshour all finding the same thing, all five methods finding the same thing, 45% to 46% of people who identify themselves as republicans will refuse getting vaccinated. that's what we've got to figure out. we've got to do something about the conservative lobby. we have to do something about all of the anti-vaccine, anti-science aggression. we are hearing from the nightly fox news anchors that are encouraging this and we need this. we absolutely have to get this done if we're going to fully open up the country as everyone wants. >> so, mike, what is the administration's plan to fight back against vaccine hesitancy? there obviously has been focus on whether or not president trump -- or former president trump is willing to do something, but as the doctor points out, this is starting to become a different sort of conversation around many of these channels and avenues for getting information in a way that it wasn't necessarily six months ago. so what is the bid

the four major polls we're talking about here are monmouth, quinnipiac, npr-pbs and pew, and in all ofo say, more people approve of his job in office than those who disapprove. but diving in a little deeper into his policies, we now know that, really, of those surveyed, about 44%, according to this pew poll, agree with the president on all or nearly all of his policies, so when we're talking about not just infrastructure but immigration and all the like, and then those who agree with him on only a few issues, that drops to 25%, and 29% agree with him on almost nothing, and then when we dump into really what he's been able to do so far, that covid relief bill, that's the thing that has the highest approval so far with 63% saying in a monmouth poll that they approve of that and then when we look to the other thick, the infrastructure plan, something that of course the president is hoping to get some movement on in the coming weeks and months, 56% approve of that but this is a really interesting number as well, alex, because within that, we know the president would like to really increase

out this week that 45% of conservatives aren't going to get the coronavirus vaccine according to quinnipiac mississippi where it's a very deeply red state. it just goes to the general trust of vaccine hesitancy as you were mentioning. people do not trust the vaccine, some people, that was created in less than a year. that is a problem when you're trying to get the entire state to a herd immunity level. i spoke to some people heading into church this morning about the people in their lives who may be vaccine hesitant. >> it's a personal choice, it's a personal choice. >> for the most part, no. it's -- i think they're being affected by a lot of political rhetoric and all these conspiracy theories. >> i think they're probably listening to the wrong voices. i think it's important to do your own research and to make your own decision, but to look at the facts. >> my message is shame on you. you need to save your life and save the life of your community. >> reporter: now, to be clear, those people i talked to all said they were vaccinated, that's why they were going into church in the first place

managing the border is biden's weakest topic among americans with just 29 percent of those poll by quinnipiac saying that he's doing a good job in handling the border and we're seeing some criticism also coming from democrats biden's own party was under mark kelly of arizona saying that the president's speech last night really lacks specifics in a plan on how to address the number of people coming across the border so indeed come next year's midterm elections biden may be fearful and democrats are certainly at risk of holding on to their slimmest of majorities or i don't think so that's a straight the texas forest service let's flip over to the other side of the border john holliman his life was in tijuana in mexico so john tell us a little bit more about what's happening where you are there. yeah it's pretty much an example actually of what you were just talking to heidi about we're outside of a camp of about 1500 people here and this camp actually formed in mid february and it almost in response to president joe biden actually changing a president trump policy and that policy from president
