quinnipiac shows that r.f.k.epublicans. 40% of republicans have a favorable view. 20% of democrats have a favorable view. that's higher than what we had. independences, 39% have a favorable view, a lot of this goes to the fact that they don't have a favorable view of the two men most likely to be at the head of their parties, trump and biden. >> the polling shows that. within their own parties, people want other options. they don't want to see an incumbent sitting president. a lot of people these there's people that this guy at the top of the ticket is not the one we want. we see consternation with people say that they don't want a rematch with president biden and president trump. so there's angst within both parties. people are looking around. it's such a small sliver of people that decide these elections these days. they want something else, which is why mark makes the points. he's written about this third party issue, no labels. they're doing the work to get on as many ballots as possible. something that would

jonathan martin, i want to show you the latest quinnipiac poll.'s just a snapshot in time, but i don't think things are exactly going to be better for republicans running against trump in the primary, or better for donald trump in the general election. here's a quinnipiac. first of all, donald trump has a comfortable lead over ron desantis. it's about as much as rudy giuliani having a comfortable lead in 2007 or hillary clinton having the same. still, what's so significant about this is, you go to the general election, and it looks about like i'd expect it to look. >> right. >> you have a five-point lead. jonathan, you look where this election is going to be decided, the suburbs of atlanta, suburbs of philly, the suburbs of detroit, of milwaukee, maricopa county. >> yeah. >> those people that went away from donald trump, they ain't going back to donald trump. now, they may be like some of my friends and family members who just say, baden -- biden and trump, i'm going to vote for everybody else and leave the top line empty." that's what happened in

but what's particularly interesting as we kind of look at where people stand, quinnipiac poll on thisay they would consider a third party candidate seriously for president. now, we do see those numbers typically trail off once nominees are announced and it becomes a tighter race. having said that, or that's a staggeringly high number. >> yes, it is. and the mood of the country is like we had back in 1976 when jimmy carter, ex-governor of georgia, rose out of no where. 1980, ron reagan was seen as an outlier. the -- ronald reagan. he merged, won in a landslide. ross perot made a strong run in 1992. the country wants a different direction. that's why robert kennedy jr. has emerged as a serious candidate. people are saying do you think he could do it, do you think he could do it, or kind of talk you heard about donald trump in to 20 saw. and these debates are starting next month with the republican, you're going to see a couple of what you might call cinderellas, i want to learn more about this person. jackie: yeah. maybe somebody like a tim scott, possibly. desantis is already calling o

. >> so it all comes as a brand new quinnipiac poll shows a very dismal view of the election. nearly half of voters out there would consider a third party presidential candidate in 2024 meaning they are just sick of the status quo. that's not stopping the flow of money here. a pac supporting senator tim scott is going to dump $40 million in ads in all the early states this fall. scott rising to third place in a recent new hampshire poll where he made this eq quip when he hed that trump thought he would make a good v.p. >> well, i think he is overqualified to be my vice president. i would say this a former president is a good guy. >> former congressman and presidential candidate will hurd though says it is time for republican candidates to start getting tough with trump. >> that's going to require folks that care about the country, that are not afraid to get attacked by online trolls. you don't win by kissing your opponent's butt. >> herd says he wants to talk about the issues while according to that same quinnipiac poll the economy is the top issue for americans followed by pr

it's foreign policy, you go down the line of things in this quinnipiac poll. it's been a month since they started the push on bidenomics, do they feel they're seeing traction, what is it that gives them this level of confidence? >> it's a couple of things. they have a story to tell. unemployment is at or near a half century low. stock markets are up. inflation is down at 3%. the economy today is not that different than it was when president trump had it pre-pandemic, and things were going well then. trump was a better salesman, a phenomenal job at saying over and over again, the greatest economy ever, and even though it wasn't the greatest economy ever, it had an impact on consumer confidence, poll numbers and the like. biden is trying to instill that same confidence in the people who still don't quite feel what he's telling them, right, that they may feel their own economic situation is unsettled. he's trying to tell them things are better, things will get better, and trying to get through them in a way he hasn't been successful so far. not going to happen in

if you look at the numbers, there is a poll from quinnipiac university that shows that more than 50%believed that it was time to move on. and also, if you look at president trump's role in all of this, just under 50% of americans believe he committed a crime, but around the same amount thought that no crime was committed. so are you concerned about charges here, and a trial if a significant percentage of americans say it is time to move on? and we don't think that president trump did something criminal? prosecutors and the rule of law don't don't rely on public opinion polls. if the prosecutor believes that he has evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that a crime was committed, then he needs to proceed no matter what the current public opinion is. if you ask people, do you believe in the rule of law? i would say probably a vast majority of americans would say yes. and that's really what the question is. beyond public opinion, we've seen the speaker of the house commenting on the fact that the former president received a target letter from the special counsel saying that this is another

according latest quinnipiac poll — trump leads the republican field by 29 points with 54% of republicansantis, nikki haley and former vice president mike pence. however — there are concerns about the prospect of a second trump presidency — even among some conservatives. i spoke with trump white house whistle—blower, miles taylor, former chief of staff for the department of homeland security and author of the book "blowback." thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us. now, your new book is titled blowback — a warning to save democracy from the next trump. why do you think that us democracy could be threatened by a politician like donald trump? well, i mean, people like me who went into the trump administration made a pretty catastrophic error. we assumed that donald trump was an aberration, that he was an anomaly, and that he was not representative of the republican party. now, over the course of four years and since then, we've seen something very different transpire, which is instead of trump being the anomaly of the republican party, all of the republicans that led the par

a poll from quinnipiac university released late last month saw the former president receive 49% supportvania. florida governor ron desantis came in second, receiving 25% support. in the critical state iowa, voters are also expressing strong support for trump. in the last hour, i spoke to marc caputo, from the messenger. great to have you on the show. so you have written an article about how the indictments against the former president could help him win iowa and the gop nomination. why do you think these cases against him could give him a boost? for think these cases against him could give him a boost?- could give him a boost? for a lona could give him a boost? for a longtime. — could give him a boost? for a long time, the _ could give him a boost? for a long time, the republican - could give him a boost? for a l long time, the republican party has been animated by the idea that the media is out to get them. the democrats are out to get them. the department of justice is out to get donald trump. and and behold, he got indicted by the department of justice. in the old days, we came up wi

the support that donald trump has among republican primary caucus vors, if you look at the latest quinnipiacrsity poll, look at the trend, as it goes from february until july, he has gained ground, is it only that he is indicted that is contributing to the fact that he is doing so well the polls? of course not. but the fact that the indictments didn't go down employment says everything about the point you're trying to make. >> it might be a different story, it likely will in the general election. but in the short term it has helped him, one of the things that donald trump has done is really back to his political opponents into a corner, he has framed this as if you attack me, you are siding with the westernized joe biden justice department, is not a place were candace want to be, they have not shown an appetite to take on trump despite a willingness to move on from donald trump, stuck in a position where they feel like their hands are tied behind their back and he is punching full steam ahead.>> if you think about it, although it's a political context, he's been on trial twice before, the im

recently, desantis is losing ground, among college educated white votersm look at the numbers from quinnipiacsince july -- or since february, he has lost 22 points from college educated white voters and trump has gained 12% and haley and scott has also gained. what going on here. >> this speaks to the problem of ron desantis's campaign and who he wants to be. the anti-trump vote within the gop is in the middle and it is among college graduates. yet ron desantis wanted to rub run a campaign further and further to the right alienating those that are anti-trump and we've seen in the polling numbers, you know, part of this is trump is going up because of the indictments and some rallying around the base. but it also speaks to the fact that ron desantis has become less well loved. there is these -- this very favorable number if you look across an aggregate of polls, it was near 50%. that is how many republicans have a favorable view of ron desantis at the beginning of the year. now the number has dropped into the mid-30s. so it is not just that trump is becoming better likes, it is that desantis i

yesterday there was a quinnipiac national poll. donald trump is 54% next was desantis, 25%, and then nikki haley 4%. so nationally he's still doing very well. we looked at some fund-raising numbers, in early march, trump was bringing in about $80,000 a day. when that new york indictment came in, around those days, $4 million. >> a day? >> not a day, but in the days surrounding it. >> after that. >> there was a big bump. >> and evan, sources telling cnn that prosecutors are trying to set up interviews with other witnesses. so could they vote, theoretically on charges now and still continue to interview other witnesses, the grand jury? >> they can. especially if they charge donald trump only in one indictment and then tackle some of the other parts of the conspiracy. they can do that at a later time. i mean, everyone is cognizant of the calendar. the justice department is very much aware, jake, of the calendar. >> tikck tock man. >> we have a few weeks before the first debate in the republican primary. everyone is aware. i'll say thi

quinnipiac asked voters if they would consider a third party candidate. 47% said they would. 47% said what are you afraid of? >> we're not afraid of anything. i like joe lieberman a lot. i served with him and he is my friend. we just think this is too risky of an effort and we hope that we can help convince no labels to back this down and not do it. if these were normal times, we would have no problem with this. these are not normal times. we just went through an election that was valid by a whisker only because mike pence and 6 or 7 state republican election officials stood up against tremendous pressure and did the right thing and saved the election from being seen as stolen and rigged by millions of americans. the person who really tried to overthrow the government and that election is running for president. and as liz cheney said, we can't have him back in the white house again. so the no labels effort you just know from looking at all the polling information, including no labels polling, would siphon so many votes away from joe biden and take them to trump if those are the two ca

and the latest quinnipiac poll shows kennedy at 14%.bles is on capitol hill following this for us. also with me, msnbc contributor and author of the old goats news letter and author of the book, his very best, jimmy carter, a life. so ryan, what happened at this hearing, obviously there was some -- well, more than one or two politically charged moments. >> yeah, you could say that, chris, i think it certainly lived up to the potential of being a circus. much of what we've seen on capitol hill, in this version of congress, listen, the thing about robert f. kennedy jr. is that part of the reason he was called to testify before this committee on the topic of censorship is because of so many of the outrageous things that he has said and the attempts by some social media companies to try and quell a bit of the information that he pedals online. it led, as you rightly point out, chris, to a number of heated moments as democrats tried to get him to explain some of those controversial stances. here's one of the moments with congresswoman debbie

i want to point you to this quinnipiac poll taken last month of pennsylvania registered voters., this is a hypothetical match-up between current president and the former president. and if to you take a look at numbers here, this is a toss-up. you've got former president trump at 47%, joe biden at 46%. al, i will begin with you, how much does this concern you? >> not really much at all. i think that we have, we are in good position. it's a long way away. president obama polling in 2011 didn't look so good. in -- i mean, looked bad in 2011, wasn't so bad in 2012 when he won reelection. i think a similar dynamic will play out here. frankly, i'd love nothing more than the president to get to run against donald trump. his troubles are only getting worse in the court, so that would be a great match-up on our side. alicia: but as you know, the former president's troubles with the court, with every indictment his popularity has been increasing. garrett, i'll give you a chance. >> i think we would both agree that donald trump is completely dominating. he's up 30 points in your fox news p

a recent quinnipiac poll found that just 30% of registered voters approve of the court and 59% -- joiningsenior correspondent at fox and noah bookbinder, president of citizens for responsibility and ethics in washington, also known as crew. ian, you penned a great piece and -- quite contemptuous of those who criticize their rulings and -- the wall street journal interview. and roberts scolded his -- student debt relief opinion. one such disdain? what does the disdain tell you for pushback? >> well. look the courts goal is to present the notion that they are law guys, who just interpret law that's written down somewhere in the ether. that there is no politics going on here. and certainly, there's no corruption going on anywhere here. and, honestly, i think it's good that the corruption is being exposed. because this court has been hinting up political decisions, then hitting out ideological decisions, constantly over and over again. and the reason why we got these decisions isn't because anything changed in the law, affirmative action has been legal at least in limited circumstances for 45

>> we've seen a quinnipiac poll that came out this week that shows 50% of american voters do not wantmatch of biden and trump. they're disenchanted with a rematch idea. so, that does open the door and the possibility for a potentially third-party ticket. the challenge is that the no labels organization has a hefty mountain to climb in terms of getting on the ballot in each of these states. so, that will be very difficult. clearly, if it's manchin, it should be a concern for democrats. >> alice stewart, bakari se sellers, thank you. >>> just ahead, the former trump national security adviser turned harsh critic of the former president. john bolton joins us to discuss the possibility of a third trump indictment and what he calls the worst outcome of potential trump acquittal appear ider was good e. now whwhat?... you'll talk? you call this “watching sports,” do you?u? ♪ you deserve better. so much in life is a compromise. directv never is. now get out of here — the game's on. call 1-800-directv for a $200 reward card. get directv with or without a satellite.

the most quinnipiac poll, 62% of americans think the doj's case against trump in the classified documents. that includes 65% of republicans and, frankly, nearly 30% of democrats, which is more than some might expect. how big of a problem is this, congresswoman for the doj and the fbi? >> well, it's meant to undercut the rule of law and really our system of government. the republicans are more interested in what they consider a win than protecting the constitution and civil order. it's very distressing. i mean, the witness that they called in, and we had the transcripts, testified four times that there was ample probable cause to issue the search warrant and the director confirmed that today. in fact, if the fbi is anything, they're too differential to the ex-president. for example, we had a newspaper article i put into the record indicating the fbi wanted to just call the whole thing off when the president's lawyer asserted that a diligent search had been done and everything had been found. obviously that wasn't the case. the ex-president was busy showing classified documents to other peo

in the latest quinnipiac poll he's among 14% among democrats and likely democratic voters. quite difficult for him as he takes on president biden in the democratic primary, phil. >> let's bring in cnn's senior legal analyst elie honig and national political reporter for "associated press," michelle price. republicans seem hell bent on elevating rfk jr. that seems the takeaway from this hearing, not just because of the censorship accusations, but just politically. that 14% that eva was talking about, a lot of is name recognit a lot of that is nostalgia among demoats for the kennedy name, but this is someone who has this long history of outlandish, dangerous, uninformed statements, and he's being elevated by republicans because he might hurt biden. >> yeah, it's unclear what political benefit there is to fw giving him this platform. the entire hearing purpose of this hearing was to examine censorship on these tech platforms. his message sfis getting out there. at the end of the ta the hearing did not examine what the tech policies were. it was an examination of rfk's comments

and the quinnipiac poll shows that in a theoretical rematch of 2020 right now, president biden enjoys a 5 point lead over former president donald trump. back to you. >> chris pallone, thanks. >>> we're giving you a live look outside in oakland. clear skies, perhaps for now. clear yesterday, but hazy skies had taken over the oakland hills early on. this, as an air quality advisory remains in effect as wildfire smoke drifts down from oregon. meteorologist kari hall had told us about that wildfire smoke from oregon yesterday. how are things looking today? >> we're starting out clear, so as we take a live look outside in san francisco, it will be another hazy day. we're going to still see drifts of smoke coming down from that fire. what's happening is we have this northerly wind so all of the smoke that's been gathering in southwestern oregon from the flat fire is coming in directly into the bay area. we're going to see more of that where we see the greens that indicate moderate air quality, and then as we see it turn yellow and red, that's unhealthy for people who are especially sensitiv

in a new poll from quinnipiac university, kennedy's favorability rating among republicans and independentsared to his rank within his own party. joining me right now with me for a "sunday morning futures" exclusive is the man himself, robert f. kennedy jr. good to have you this morning. >> very, very good to be here. maria: thank you so much. what went on in that hearing? censorship has been an issue for several years now. we talk about it every day on this program and on my program on fox business. what should be done about it? what can you do to stop it? >> i mean, this should not be a partisan, this needs to be bipartisan. the democratic party has always fought very hard, my father, my uncle throughout his history, the word liberal means freedom and applies specifically to freedom of speech. we can't have a democracy if we don't have freedom of speech. it is the cornerstone of our democracy. that's why the framers put it in the first amendment. it is, as i side -- said, it's the sunlight, it's the water, it's the soil of democracy. without free speech, democracy will wither and die, and

this is a quinnipiac bowl looking at those most important to voters when picking pa president. lead here at 31% preserving democracy at 26% and then things kind of drop off there, abortion, gun violence. caroline, i want to check with you, how you believe the former president, how he would approach the economy and what he can do for those hurting out there? >> most definitely. this is the ultimate priority and just like top priority in his previous term he ignited the might of our economy and military and unleashed the potential of our domestic energy production. you never heard the word inflation during trump's administration and now joe biden's reckless spending led to record high inflation rates, record high gas prices hurting american families every day. donald trump, this is part of the reason he decided to step into the arena and run again. it's to revamp our economy, to revamp our energy industry. just yesterday he put forth a proposal to revitalize the american auto industry. he's one of the few candidates in this race that have detailed policy plans if you can to his w

and the latest quinnipiac poll also shows in a theoretical head-to-head matchup, a rematch of 2020, right now president biden leads former president trump by five points. >> chris, thanks. >>> we're going to turn back here locally, taking a live look at oakland this friday morning. by the way, a spare the air alert has been issued for today and it's because of that smoke in the air. check out this smoky sunset from yesterday caused by wildfire smoke drifting down from oregon. it does create a beautiful sight, but it's because of the pollution, right? >> uh-huh, yeah, it's the smoke and particulate matter being scattered by the sunlight. it gives us orange hues. it looks nice but thaen it's not nice to breathe in. it's definitely dangerous for people who have asthma and it will add to the ozone as well. when we talk about our air quality today, the most unhealthy of the air quality will be in the inland east bay and santa clara valley. we're seeing a measure of particulate matter over 100, which is not good for long periods of time. then we also have been talking a lot about this flat fire

pollsters say the results do not suggest voters are interested in a third party but a new quinnipiacl out this week shows nearly half of americans are. the question now, who has the winning strategy. >> there's not any candace in this race that's criticizing donald trump. we need people that are not afraid of donald trump. >> former congressman will hurd is on a media spree blasting trump, urging others to do the same. but that's not tone vivek ramaswamy is taking in new hampshire today. >> i'm not running against anybody. i'm running for this country. and so i should respect the heck out of the other candidates including president trump who was an outstanding president in my opinion. >> the positive alternative platform is paying off big time for senator tim scott. and ron desantis taking a softer approach sitting down with wife casey as he tries to re-set his campaign. >> i would describe him as the love of my life, the father of my 6, 5, and 3-year-old and the fighter that we need to turn this country around. >> it was nice to see both of those two together. gillian, if you are wo

man, in the latest quinnipiac university survey, the former president holds a 29-point lead over floridacandidates in the poll are under 5%. former vice president mike pence and former south carolina governor nikki haley fairing the best of the group, at least so for. meanwhile, though, trump is getting increasingly frustrated with arkansas governor sarah huckabee sanders, as the governor remains neutral in the gop presidential race. according to people familiar with the discussions, sanders' team has told trump's campaign she won't endorse any candidate until her first legislative session ends. she took office back in january. well, that session ended in may, and sanders has yet to make an announcement. she, of course, was trump's press secretary, and he endorsed her the very day she launched her gubernatorial campaign back a couple years ago. joining us now, national political correspondent for "axios," alex thompson. he is the one who had this reporting first on trump and huckabee sanders. so walk us through it here. what's the reasoning from the new governor of arkansas for staying n

the most recent quinnipiac poll has him at 14% among democratic voters and likely democratic voters stillresident biden in the democratic primary. >> eva, thank you very much. from washington tonight where those hearings took place. out front now david axelrod, senior adviser to president obama. david, let me start just start he is not a racist or conspiracy theorist. he said and quote last week at a fund-raiser in new york. covid-19 is targeted to attack caucasians and black people. the most immune are ashkenazi jews and chinese. how can he say that and then say he's not racist and anti-semitic. >> you are looking at an ashkenazi jew who had covid twice, i either didn't get the benefit or someone lied to me about my heritage. those are blatant, racist tropes. he also compared the protocols for vaccines and covid to nazi germany and enslavement and he is very free and easy with those kinds of phrases and he's become the darling of conspiracy theorists and afficionados of those and of the far right. you know, he got a very warm welcome today from jim jordan. he's been embraced by tucker ca

well, a quinnipiac university poll found that 78% of americans are opposed to proposals that would raise the full retirement age for social security benefits from 67 to 70, opposition remain firm even when respondents were asked whether they would support raising the retirement age, it meant benefits would last longer. and if you're planning on taking a trip overseas, it may be time to start saving the average international trips. nearly $5,000 going to new research. but that is not stopping travelers conducted by onepoll for delta vacations. a survey found the for international vacations. americans have spent the most time in europe and south america over the past 5 years, in the least time in antarctica and africa. well, after a red-hot start that saw accumulate 100 million users and 5 days threads that's met is alternative to twitter is slowing down daily active users to threads on android devices left a 23 million from 49 million. as for the market researcher, similar web and usage in the u.s. which peaked at 21 minutes on july, 7th with just over 6 minutes on july 14th, from the nas

i think the latest quinnipiac had it, like, 71-14%. clearly not a threat yet -- >> that's traction?st give -- but obviously drawing some attention. >> i don't think that's traction, with all due respect. i think he's an annoyance, a distraction, if you will. if you listen to his policies, they seem to be rooted in anti-semitism, and he's a conspiracy theorist and what have you. there's 14% because if you ask democratic voters do you want biden to run again, they may not want him to run again because of age and what have you, but if you say if he's on the ball to ott -- ballot against a republican nominee, 9 a 5% of democrats are going to vote for biden. rf fk is going nowhere. griff: do you agree? >> i agree with a lot of what scott said, but here we are once again. democrats don't like the speech, what do they try to do in they try to censor it. they say he should be deplatformed, they even made a move in that committee to take it to executive session -- >> yeah. >> -- so the american people couldn't see it. censorship once again, it's not the answer in america. we all have a right
