neil: and it's not just republicans, right, doug schoen? jason fuhrman, economic svengali from barack obama sort of pooh-poohed it, kind of gimmicking and "the washington post" looked like a desperate pitch. to noelle's point when i heard her laying out the stuff she was laying out and you and joe biden have been in there three and a half years bemoaning the high prices and now blaming them on grocery stores gouging folks. it just didn't seem to resonate. what do you think? >> well, neil, what i would say is presidential elections are frequently about gimmicks, about symbolism, and about messaging that is responsive to people's concerns and while e j york times, and noelle's concern, the real fear people have about the economy is the cost of living and prices. joe biden's approach of saying things are getting better just hasn't worked so i think as a short-term palliative for the election, this is probably a step that will help kamala even if, as i believe and many believe, it's not good policy. neil: so, noelle, obviously, trump's strategy

let's bring in democratic pollster and former clinton advisor doug schoen.g, good to the see you again. >> thank you. paul: so you saw the convention and the speech. do do you -- what were the democrats trying to do here, and did they succeed? if. >> well, i think what they were trying to do was for tray vice president harris -- portray vice president as a non-ideological centrist when is about a unity and conciliation to make it clear she was tough on crime, favored a strong policy that a protects the border and understood voters' concerns about inflation and prices and had at least the beginnings of a policy, however populist, to address it. did it succeed? i think in the short term almost certainly it will, paul. i think the polls will go up. but whether this will address the longer term challenges that the democrats and kamala harris face on issues like inflation, the southern border and crime is anyone's guess. it isn't clear to me. paul: yeah. well, it's interesting, doug, i mean, there was very little substance in her speech. i mean, the biggest singl

here to react to one of her latest flip-flops is democratic strategist doug schoen. good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. >> steve: so over the last week or. so we have seen, you know, shamelessly, what she is doing, what kamala harris' campaign is doing. they are leaking to the "new york times" saying all that stuff that she used to stand for, she has changed her mind because she can't get elected if she stands for that and she is getting away with it. >> that's exactly right. because there is so much controversy about trump and what he is saying and j.d. vance and what he has said in the past. that she has managed to avoid much scrutiny and certainly a great deal of criticism until now. >> steve: yeah. to your point. about so many questions about what's going on with donald trump. donald trump a couple of days ago was at the national association of black journalists in chicago. and his comments about kamala got a lot of air play. yesterday, a cnn reporter asked j.d. vance down along the border about the comments and here is what he had to say. listen to this

neil: it's anyone's guess but, doug schoen, i'm reminded of bill clinton, of course, and when he was president in 1992. we argued he's -- he argued it's about the economy, stupid. the irony was when he was running against george her bet walker bush -- herbert walker bush, the economy was turning around and coming out of that recession in the fall of that year. but it was deemed too little, too late for average americans and voters to appreciate it, and he ended up losing. the only reason why i mention that is perception does become reality. and for the markets to punctuate the perception that a lot of average folks have had, that could be very courageous. what do you think? -- very dangerous. what do you think? >> i think it could be dangerous. in this environment we're starting with a public mood that is hostile to the incumbent party and the incumbent president. if we get the kind of turbulence we saw yesterday on a sustained basis, i think even though a recession is very, very different than inflation, the opposite, the two together will suggest instability which is, as a julia sa

doug schoen, former advisor to president clinton, democratic strategist and pollster with me, doug, goodbit. good afternoon. here is the "washington examiner" on this whole story be a democrat in vp nominee tim walz on at least five occasions as governor of minnesota hosted a muslim cleric who celebrated hamas' attack last year and promoted this film among neo-nazis that glorifies adolf hitler. what do you know of this and how do you think this is being received? >> it is being received very badly, neil, in the jewish community. there are already serious doubts about kamala harris and her commitment to the state of israel for sympathy for the palestinians over the state of israel. this plays into those fears. walz has received praise already from the squad, from ilhan omar, and the doubts and the jewish community, both what i hear and in our polling, will be reinforced by his ties to this, whose views are antithetical to everything i think we stand for and that jews believe in. >> bill: here is a muslim american society on this. it says it reaffirms its unwavering support for the palesti

and doug schoen democratic pollster and strategist former adviser to president bill clinton.you, bahaa abu al-ata, on this. because this has been the vibe campaign. the good feeling. this is like the joy luck club. we're joyful and hope we are lucky enough to make it through the election. this is still the number one issue. and, yet, kamala harris doesn't really want to talk substantively about it. >> yeah. in fact, robert kailey who does the polling plus podcast with me we finished a round of polling of all the swing states. can i give you good news for republicans the draw for president trump has not been anywhere as significant as is showing up in these national polls. the one thing we did learn is exactly what you are saying, laura, is the economy is now the number one issue. border has dropped down a bit. in fact only 50% knew or confirmed that she was the border czar. so that is not as big an issue right now. the economy is big right now. that is going to be a deciding point. i would say if i were the trump campaign, i would move those ads about the border and bring in

fox news political analyst, former clinton adviser doug schoen and marc thiessen, "the faulkner focusnk you, harris, see you in a few moments. dangerous airways up and down the east coast dealing with very frustrated passengers. what's new, been a rough summer, jonathan, jonathan live in atlanta from what is happening there. >> hi, bill, airlines have been working overtime booking trips for passengers whose plans were disrupted over the weekend. on sunday more than 1300 plates with in or out of the u.s. were canceled according to the online tracking service, flights near laguardia lead with one in three inbound and outbound flights canceled. take a listen. >> they think it's out of their control that it's whether they can pay for a hotel and they cannot pay for like food or anything. it's because we cannot even get the bag. they told us the bag is not h here. >> even though hurricane ernesto has stayed well out to see it's been creating dangerous surf around the east coast. capturing images of north carolina beach homes getting battered by the waves and in south carolina two man appar

cassie former rnc deputy communications director and doug schoen former clinton advisor.e you both. cassie, i will start with doug. is it too late to replace tim walz? it would look chaotic for democrats. >> i don't think it is practical, harris, to replace tim walz. i do think what van jones said needs to be taken very seriously. if i were the democrats and i was running the campaign i would send walz out to apologize, clean up the statement make it clear what he has done and move on. the american people forgive but if he does not do that, harris, this will be a steady drumbeat throughout the campaign. >> harris: look, i'm flinching on that. a lot of the criticism is coming from military veterans in his home state of minnesota, which would mean he owed them an apology for a long time. i don't know if that cleans it up and why i kind of, you know, leaned back on that. it is interesting. cassie. >> he has carried this lie through a lot of campaigns. getting back to what you were just outlining of can he help deliver the votes that kamala harris needs to win? we're not sure

joining me now doug schoen, pollster and former adviser to president bill clinton and sean duffy, co-hostess. sean, there was some news that's been breaking and it's on the issue of abortion this evening. and we're going to get to trump and some of the comments that he made on the trail. but i want to first play sophia bush from one tree hill for all my millennials out a pro-family party and work to ban ivf. none of this makes any sense. it's al and power. and if you can't win on policy, you certainly shouldn't be trying to win on killing half of the american population. >> kayleigh: sean, she is a surrogate for the democrats. republicans want to kill half the population and take away ivf which donald trump just says he wants paid for ivf this evening. >> guaranteed conch for ivf is what donald trump has said. again, to run on policy. we haven't heard any policy from kamala harris. what is she talking about. and by the way she is talking about a democrat party that had very seq. tommorow's free at the dnc and abortions at the dnc. >> this is the most antifamily party that has ever existed

doug schoen is here, former clinton advisor and cassie a former deputy commune indications director. will she rise to the occasion in this interview? >> not much she will have to rise to. you can predict what the questions will be. you memorize answers in advance. and so i think this is sort of a check the boxes interview so she can say oh, i've done an interview with cnn as a means of getting some of the pressure off her back about hiding for the last month or so. so i think it is a low bar for her. i think it will be relatively easy for her to answer most of the questions. >> sandra: that would be assuming she will be challenged on the recent flip-flops? >> right. i think what doug outlined is the exact harris playbook. they have a friendly media outlet to execute it for them to have a very barely bump in the road of crack on the sidewalk tough interview quote, unquote to say she did it. she won't be pressed on any of these flip-flops. she won't be pressed on just her positions she hasn't flip-flopped on. she won't be pressed on any of the issues of her day the biden-harris adminis

doug schoen, a former clinton advisor and democratic pollster.aybe first to you, doug, the battle ground states, the rust belt states, michigan and others that have fairs and some don't, all tight as a tick and all of a sudden in play each and every one of them. what do you make of that. >> i make that the races tightened two to four points since kamala harris got in the race and had a bump and i think it's certainly the case that that's happened neil, but it would be an overstatement to say that she's jumped out to anything approaching a substantial or a commanding lead. her lead in the real clear average nationally is about 1 1/2, 2 points and the battle ground states as i go through them are effectively within the margin of error. and my call on the race it's effectively a dead heat and we know that donald trump tends to underpoll his actual vote. neil: how do you see it, dustin. >> i agree with doug, it's a heat. the race is tight. no question about that. and harris had an effect and gravity was headed to the trump direction, but definitely i

let's talk to the people who actually crunch the numbers here, tom bevan real clear politics and doug schoenocratic strategist and former adviser to president bill clinton. tom, right now in the real clear politics average. r.f.k. jr. takes about 5 force of the national vote. the "new york post" reporting tonight that in key states where it matters, that support that r.f.k. has could make a decision can't difference. what are your thoughts. >> did an analysis of the big seven battleground states and r.f.k.'s role there and when he is added to the ballot. it actually helps harris in michigan michigan. helps trump in nevada and georgia. three states where it actually matters the most in arizona and minnesota. leads just 0.2% right now. r.f.k.'s presence on the ballot would actually tip that state in favor of harris. and north carolina where trump has a small lead about 1 point. that race becomes tied. removing r.f.k. from the ballot will boost trump most likely boost trump in those states. now, the trump campaign also there d. their own analysis they just release it earlier today they show acc

in our observe experts, the author of the new book "the politics of life" democrat pollster doug schoenntributor lisa boothement these are actual of my favorites. you know what i love about doug? doug, you called it balls and strikes the way you see them. after that interview last night, and what happened -- is that going to make a difference? does that push people one direction or another or does it lock them in a little bit more? >> i think it has no impact at all. this was a check the box interview for kamala harris. so she could say, yeah, no i did an interview. to me the real question, in a race that is effectively tied and deadlocked, is can the republicans and donald trump make the case that you eight been making and others on fox have been making that she has flip-flopped and she doesn't have consistent positions, pause what she did last night was say that she's a centrist moderate, which obviously goes against the record, but so far the republicans have not compellingly made that case and hence she is tied in both the swing states and nationally. >> jason: lisa, at least for me

joining us now, tom bevan, here, cleategisresident of real clear politics, and doug schoen, democratic strategist and former adviserformeradvisera president bill clinton. tom, right now in the real clear politics, average rfk jr takes about 5% of thethat i national vote. the new york post reporting mate that in key states where it matters that, support that rfk has could make a significantld k difference for trump. what are your thoughts tonight, given what we're seeindecisiongh >> yeah, we just did an analysis of the big seven battleground states and rfk is roll and when he's added to the ballot, it actually helps harris in michigan and wisconsin. it actually helps trump inthreet nevada and georgia. but the three states where it actually matters the most in and pennsylvania, where trump has leads that are just 0.2% right now, rfk presence on the ballot would actually tip that state in favor of harris har and north carolina, where trump has a small lead, about one point. f that race becomes tied. so removin theg rfk from the bae will boost trump. most likely boost trump in those states

and there is some collision of ideas on how much they matter politically doug schoen who you know ast of the clinton administration, and the advisory, was on with me yesterday and said they don't need that number of voters outside protesting, they can win without them. that's what he says it democrats, doing some calculus of how to deal with them but what they have signs to say to kill their own candidate, but they don't. and president biden took off very fast after he spoke, 12 hours ago he had not started yet, he was about to speak at 12 hours ago at the dnc and now he is two-time zones away and when he was in chicago, he told reporters over and over that there is no bad blood with the push to drop out of reelection. >> he claims you are pushed out of the top of the ticket, and what you make of those claims? >> stability is still going through. >> and the honor of my lifetime i love my job but i love my country more. and all those talk about how i am angry at all of the people who said i should step down, it's not true. >> harris: this is true, they delayed them over and over last

doug schoen, former clinton advisors with me now and focus and doug, here we are in chicago and we are finally seeing all of this come together and vice president kamala harris is being greeted by i guess you could say it was predictable, but are you surprised at how many potentially could be here? >> i am surprised at the vehemence and the numbers, harris. i also participated in what was called a celebratory '96 convention" that helped my clients at bill clinton when, and 68 that played a singular role in the defeat of hubert humphrey in that year's election, so this could be decisive, harris, and i will say what alderman lopez said reflects the broad feeling of much, not all, but much of the democratic party and what mayor johnson said, frankly goes well beyond the first amendment to encouraging a level of protest and discord that i think it is not helpful and not constructive. >> harris: what is the point of courting that as part of the party? when you look percentage-wise, can democrats win without them is the question and the other is can you ever really satiate them or be enough

earlier democratic pollster doug schoen on fox handicapped that debate. >> will donald trump be ableo get under her skin and vice versa? will she get under donald trump skin? i would say to the former president stick to the issues it. i would say to kamala harris this new persona you have developed has worked very well for you. do not go back to the old one. >> highly anticipated first debates will be held on september 10. >> countdown to that everyone will be watching. lucas thomason thanks so much live at the white house force. former president trump with about-face after angering pro-life activists with his comments about a florida ballot measure on abortion. david spent reports. >> yesterday it was a busy day for the former president. he held two events one in pennsylvania the other here and our nation's capitol but for president trump made news during a fox news interview before the pennsylvania rally when he said he would vote no on an amendment in his home state of florida which would allow abortions after six weeks. trump said despite disagreeing with the six week timetable h

joining us now is matt towery, political analyst and pollster, and doug schoen, democratic pollster.pollstndand former advisor to pi bill clinton. let'ths with you, matt, on this, because this has been the vibee. campaign, the good feelings and this is like the joy luck club where georgia, we're joyful. e l >> we hope we're lucky enoughe to make it through the election. but this is still the number one issue. and yet kamala harris doesn'tt want to talk substantively about it . >> yeah. in fact, robert kay, what he fis does, the polling plus podcast with me, we justhe a round of polling, all of the swing states and i can give you some good newoo fors fd republicans. the the drop for president trump hatrump has notn anywhere as significant as it's showing up in these national polls g we. laura, the one thing we did learn i is exactly what you're saying, laura, and that is the economy is now the number one issue. border has dropped down a biint in. fact only 50% knew that or confirmed that sheboso tha wasem the borders are. so that that's not as big an issue right now but the economii b

the cost escalation can be treated to the administration's measures flies in the face of the david schoen commits or cost escalation in every developed the con is the sect although may we could unpack that. we had a more gradual level how it's affecting your particular region or want to work with project sponsor in louisiana to build on the successes that have happened with lake charles i can come that your guest as you infrastructure to $10 million that came to your district and the heirs would have been ferries and other areas well reason has been successful that we want every state to succeed as vice as possible and getting those projects done that might not happen otherwise. i won't claim to have a magic solution on the highway trust fund but but i join you in g concerned about it. by the time the 2026 vote on a future or potential vote on a future reauthorization that question what will he come to a head. congress you decide whether the user pays principle is the future of whether to continue turning to other sources of funding to fund our roads. >> before i jump back i just want to
