WEBVTT

00:00.882 --> 00:06.689
>> IN TIMES OF UNCERTAINTY, WE

00:06.690 --> 00:08.563
ARE REMINDED WEEPING MAY ENDURE

00:08.598 --> 00:11.633
FOR A NIGHT, BUT JOY COMETH IN

00:11.644 --> 00:12.468
THE MORNING.

00:12.479 --> 00:13.835
>> NBC NATIONAL POLITICAL

00:13.837 --> 00:14.881
CORRESPONDENT STEVE KORNACKI IS

00:14.892 --> 00:16.908
STANDING BY AT THE BIG BOARD

00:16.909 --> 00:18.948
WITH A FINAL NBC NEWS POLL AHEAD

00:18.950 --> 00:19.803
OF THE ELECTION.

00:19.814 --> 00:21.700
STEVE, LAY IT ALL OUT FOR US.

00:21.711 --> 00:23.345
>> WELL, I THINK IT’S ONLY

00:23.346 --> 00:25.169
APPROPRIATE AFTER THIS CAMPAIGN

00:25.170 --> 00:25.832
OF UNPREDICTABILITY,

00:25.833 --> 00:28.341
UNCERTAINTY, WE HAVE A TIE IN

00:28.343 --> 00:29.776
OUR FINAL NBC NEWS NATIONAL POLL

00:29.778 --> 00:30.284
HERE.

00:30.285 --> 00:31.708
49, HARRIS, 49, TRUMP.

00:31.710 --> 00:33.290
WE ALSO HAD A TIE A FEW WEEKS

00:33.301 --> 00:33.724
AGO.

00:33.735 --> 00:35.452
THE TIME BEFORE THIS THAT WE

00:35.463 --> 00:37.032
WERE IN THE FIELD OF THE POLL.

00:37.066 --> 00:38.681
ONE THING TO NOTE ABOUT THIS,

00:38.692 --> 00:40.167
JUST TAKING A STEP BACK, IS IF

00:40.178 --> 00:41.414
YOU THINK TO THE LAST

00:41.415 --> 00:42.602
PRESIDENTIAL RACES, DONALD TRUMP

00:42.613 --> 00:44.249
WAS ON THE BALLOT FOR THE

00:44.260 --> 00:45.695
REPUBLICANS IN EACH OF THOSE.

00:45.696 --> 00:46.801
THE NATIONAL POLLS WERE NEVER

00:46.812 --> 00:48.415
THIS CLOSE IN EITHER ONE OF

00:48.449 --> 00:49.298
THOSE ELECTIONS.

00:49.309 --> 00:50.673
IN 2020, JOE BIDEN LED

00:50.706 --> 00:51.894
CONSISTENTLY, TURNED OUT THERE

00:51.905 --> 00:53.527
WAS A BIT OF A POLLING MISS

00:53.538 --> 00:53.944
THERE.

00:53.955 --> 00:55.313
2016, HILLARY CLINTON LED

00:55.347 --> 00:56.370
CONSISTENTLY AS WELL.

00:56.371 --> 00:57.931
THIS HAS BEEN MUCH CLOSER.

00:57.942 --> 00:59.865
ALL THE WAY THROUGH THIS

00:59.866 --> 01:01.312
ELECTION, THAT TRUMP NUMBER IS

01:01.323 --> 01:02.787
ALWAYS THAT DEBATE OF WHERE THE

01:02.821 --> 01:03.894
CEILING IS FOR DONALD TRUMP.

01:03.895 --> 01:05.667
THE TRUMP NUMBER HAS BEEN

01:05.678 --> 01:06.555
GETTING HIGHER.

01:06.557 --> 01:07.843
INCREMENTALLY HERE, BUT MAYBE

01:07.854 --> 01:08.968
SIGNIFICANTLY IN THE POLLING

01:09.002 --> 01:10.193
THIS ELECTION THAN IT’S BEEN IN

01:10.204 --> 01:10.795
THE PAST.

01:10.829 --> 01:12.003
THE GENDER GAP.

01:12.004 --> 01:14.305
THIS IS EMERGING AS A HUGE STORY

01:14.316 --> 01:15.712
THROUGHOUT THE CAMPAIGN AND

01:15.723 --> 01:16.973
MAYBE A DOMINANT ONE ON ELECTION

01:16.974 --> 01:17.451
NIGHT.

01:17.452 --> 01:19.596
PUT THIS IN SOME PERSPECTIVE.

01:19.607 --> 01:21.947
IN OUR POLL, AMONG MEN, IT’S AN

01:21.982 --> 01:22.842
ABSOLUTE LANDSLIDE FOR DONALD

01:22.843 --> 01:23.303
TRUMP.

01:23.304 --> 01:25.482
HE LEADS HARRIS BY 18 POINTS.

01:25.493 --> 01:28.565
AMONG WOMEN, IT IS A LANDSLIDE

01:28.567 --> 01:30.356
FOR HARRIS OVER TRUMP.

01:30.367 --> 01:32.362
SHE LEADS TRUMP BY 16.

01:32.363 --> 01:33.665
COMBINED, 34-POINT GENDER GAP.

01:33.676 --> 01:35.523
WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT

01:35.525 --> 01:37.805
GENDER GAPS IN PRESIDENTIAL

01:37.816 --> 01:39.850
RACES GOING BACK TO 1980, REAGAN

01:39.861 --> 01:40.931
VERSUS CARTER.

01:40.965 --> 01:43.391
IN ALL THAT TIME, THE HIGHEST

01:43.392 --> 01:45.518
GENDER GAP WE HAVE EVER RECORDED

01:45.529 --> 01:46.736
BEFORE THIS, 24 POINTS.

01:46.770 --> 01:48.942
THAT’S TEN POINTS HIGHER IF THIS

01:48.953 --> 01:50.187
WERE TO HAPPEN IN THE ELECTION

01:50.198 --> 01:51.129
OR ANYTHING LIKE THIS.

01:51.130 --> 01:52.741
MUCH HIGHER THAN THE PREVIOUS

01:52.776 --> 01:54.214
RECORD FOR THE GENDER GAP.

01:54.225 --> 01:55.597
ALSO NOTE HERE, TRUMP IS

01:55.631 --> 01:57.074
ACTUALLY GETTING A LITTLE BIT

01:57.076 --> 01:59.835
MORE IN TERMS OF HIS MARGIN WITH

01:59.836 --> 02:01.674
MEN, A LITTLE BIGGER THAN

02:01.685 --> 02:03.089
HARRIS’ IS AMONG WOMEN.

02:03.090 --> 02:04.260
TRUMP PEOPLE HAVE REALLY

02:04.261 --> 02:05.873
EMPHASIZED THEIR MESSAGE TO MEN,

02:05.884 --> 02:07.447
ESPECIALLY IN THE CLOSING STAGES

02:07.458 --> 02:08.193
OF THIS CAMPAIGN.

02:08.194 --> 02:09.964
THINKING THEY MAY BE ABLE TO

02:09.975 --> 02:11.728
SORT OF TURN THE GENDER GAP,

02:11.762 --> 02:13.131
WHICH IS TRADITIONALLY

02:13.133 --> 02:15.060
UNDERSTOOD AS MAYBE MORE OF A

02:15.061 --> 02:15.965
DEMOCRATIC ADVANTAGE, AROUND IN

02:15.976 --> 02:16.726
THEIR FAVOR.

02:16.727 --> 02:19.331
RUN UP A BIGGER SCORE AMONG MEN

02:19.342 --> 02:21.432
THAN HARRIS DOES AMONG WOMEN.

02:21.466 --> 02:23.608
BUT, THERE ARE ALSO SOME

02:23.619 --> 02:25.056
INDICATIONS THAT HARRIS, EXCUSE

02:25.090 --> 02:27.548
ME, THAT HARRIS WILL GET TO THIS

02:27.559 --> 02:29.153
ONE IN A SECOND, MAY BE

02:29.154 --> 02:30.758
BENEFITTING FROM A SORT OF

02:30.769 --> 02:31.592
SURPRISE FEMALE INTEREST.

02:31.593 --> 02:33.469
I’LL GET TO THAT IN A SECOND.

02:33.480 --> 02:35.276
I WANTED TO SHOW THIS AS WELL.

02:35.287 --> 02:36.411
THE HEAD BP WINDS HARRIS IS UP

02:36.445 --> 02:36.998
AGAINST.

02:36.999 --> 02:38.830
BIDEN WITH A 41% JOB APPROVAL

02:38.841 --> 02:39.214
RATING.

02:39.215 --> 02:40.480
AGAIN, THAT’S BEEN CONSISTENT

02:40.514 --> 02:42.431
FOR A LONG TIME WITH BIDEN.

02:42.433 --> 02:44.079
IT’S A REASON WHY DEMOCRATS,

02:44.080 --> 02:45.977
SOME WANTED HIM OUT OF THE RACE,

02:45.988 --> 02:46.939
WANTED TO REPLACE HIM WITH

02:46.940 --> 02:47.295
HARRIS.

02:47.306 --> 02:48.719
STILL, HARRIS IS PART OF THIS

02:48.753 --> 02:49.289
ADMINISTRATION.

02:49.300 --> 02:51.111
AND THIS IS WHERE THE PRESIDENT

02:51.122 --> 02:51.818
STANDS.

02:51.829 --> 02:54.727
AND SIGNIFICANTLY, WE ASKED

02:54.728 --> 02:56.913
AGAIN RETROSPECTIVELY, DO YOU

02:56.914 --> 02:58.475
APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE OF TRUMP’S

02:58.486 --> 02:59.340
PERFORMANCE WHEN HE WAS

02:59.375 --> 02:59.849
PRESIDENT.

02:59.860 --> 03:02.054
THAT NUMBER, 48% IN OUR POLL,

03:02.088 --> 03:04.251
BETTER THAN TRUMP EVER DID WHEN

03:04.262 --> 03:06.457
HE ACTUALLY WAS PRESIDENT.

03:06.459 --> 03:07.691
AGAIN, HIGHER, SEVEN POINTS

03:07.702 --> 03:09.090
HIGHER THAN BIDEN’S NUMBER.

03:09.124 --> 03:10.806
IS THIS CUTTING AGAINST HARRIS?

03:10.817 --> 03:12.434
IS THIS BOOSTING TRUMP?

03:12.445 --> 03:13.693
AND THEN, THERE IS THE

03:13.704 --> 03:13.984
CURVEBALL.

03:14.019 --> 03:15.595
THIS GETS TO THAT QUESTION OF

03:15.606 --> 03:16.815
THE GENDER GAP THAT I WAS JUST

03:16.826 --> 03:17.420
TALKING ABOUT.

03:17.454 --> 03:18.732
HOW ABOUT THIS?

03:18.743 --> 03:19.772
LOOK AT THE STATE.

03:19.773 --> 03:20.178
IOWA.

03:20.189 --> 03:22.000
WE HAVE NOT BEEN TALKING ABOUT

03:22.001 --> 03:23.275
IOWA THIS ENTIRE CAMPAIGN.

03:23.310 --> 03:24.605
THE PARTIES HAVE NOT BEEN

03:24.616 --> 03:25.638
TALKING ABOUT IOWA.

03:25.649 --> 03:27.079
THE CANDIDATES HAVE NOT BEEN

03:27.080 --> 03:28.300
CAMPAIGNING IN IOWA.

03:28.311 --> 03:30.095
IT’S BEEN THOUGHT TO BE A SAFE

03:30.130 --> 03:31.713
RED TRUMP STATE.

03:31.724 --> 03:34.754
HE WON IT BY NEARLY TEN POINTS

03:34.765 --> 03:36.716
IN BOTH 2016 AND 2020.

03:36.750 --> 03:38.154
ALONG COMES THIS POLL FROM THE

03:38.165 --> 03:40.191
DES MOINES REGISTER, WHICH BY

03:40.202 --> 03:42.694
THE WAY, THIS POLL HAS AN

03:42.695 --> 03:43.730
OUTSTANDING TRACK RECORD WITHIN

03:43.764 --> 03:44.263
IOWA.

03:44.274 --> 03:46.574
IN FACT, IN 2020, IN THE CLOSING

03:46.608 --> 03:48.160
DAYS OF THAT CAMPAIGN, REMEMBER,

03:48.171 --> 03:49.935
ALL THE POLLING AS I WAS SAYING

03:49.969 --> 03:51.402
WAS POINTING TO SOMETHING PRETTY

03:51.413 --> 03:52.854
BIG FOR BIDEN IN 2020.

03:52.865 --> 03:55.683
IT WAS THIS SAME POLL, THE

03:55.694 --> 03:57.306
SATURDAY BEFORE THE ELECTION IN

03:57.340 --> 03:59.317
2020, THAT TRUMP WAS STILL VERY

03:59.318 --> 04:00.680
STRONG IN THE MIDWEST STATES.

04:00.691 --> 04:02.215
VERY STRONG WITH BLUE COLLAR

04:02.226 --> 04:03.829
WHITE VOTERS AND IT ENDED UP

04:03.840 --> 04:05.286
BEING WHY THE ELECTION WAS SO

04:05.287 --> 04:07.035
CLOSE IN 2020.

04:07.069 --> 04:09.151
THIS POLL CAUGHT A PHENOMENON IN

04:09.152 --> 04:10.738
’20 THAT OTHER POLLS WEREN’T,

04:10.749 --> 04:12.334
AND IT’S CATCHING THIS.

04:12.368 --> 04:14.684
HARRIS BY THREE IN A STATE THAT

04:14.695 --> 04:16.174
TRUMP WON BY EIGHT POINTS, A

04:16.209 --> 04:17.241
LITTLE MORE THAN EIGHT POINTS

04:17.252 --> 04:18.130
LAST TIME.

04:18.141 --> 04:20.712
NOW, IS THIS REAL, IS THIS --

04:20.746 --> 04:22.616
POLLS CAN BE, YOU CAN HAVE A

04:22.627 --> 04:24.110
MISS SOMETIMES, A BIG MISS.

04:24.121 --> 04:25.755
THAT’S A BIG QUESTION, BUT

04:25.789 --> 04:27.849
BEHIND THIS IS A MASSIVE GENDER

04:27.851 --> 04:29.544
GAP, MASSIVE HARRIS SUPPORT

04:29.555 --> 04:30.853
AMONG WOMEN, AND PARTICULARLY

04:30.887 --> 04:31.916
AMONG SENIOR WOMEN.

04:31.917 --> 04:33.835
THAT’S WHAT THEY’RE FINDING IN

04:33.846 --> 04:35.645
THIS POLL, IN INDEPENDENT WOMEN.

04:35.680 --> 04:37.292
THE BACKDROP IN IOWA, ABORTION

04:37.303 --> 04:39.400
HAS REALLY TAKEN CENTER STAGE.

04:39.434 --> 04:41.460
A SIX-WEEK ABORTION BAN WENT

04:41.471 --> 04:43.132
INTO EFFECT THIS SUMMER.

04:43.143 --> 04:44.757
THERE ARE ALSO NOT PRESIDENTIAL

04:44.768 --> 04:45.914
CANDIDATES CAMPAIGNING THERE,

04:45.925 --> 04:47.074
BUT THERE ARE HOT CONGRESSIONAL

04:47.075 --> 04:47.507
RACES.

04:47.509 --> 04:49.910
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF ADS

04:49.921 --> 04:51.130
AROUND THE ISSUE OF ABORTION

04:51.141 --> 04:52.688
HAVE BEEN IN THE AIR IN IOWA.

04:52.723 --> 04:55.151
SO IF THIS IS REAL, THE OTHER

04:55.162 --> 04:57.290
QUESTION BECOMES IS IT STATE

04:57.324 --> 04:59.188
SPECIFIC OR IS IT SOMETHING THAT

04:59.199 --> 05:00.652
IS SORT OF IMPORTANT FOR OTHER

05:00.687 --> 05:02.232
MIDWESTERN STATES, FOR OTHER

05:02.233 --> 05:04.085
STATES AROUND THE COUNTRY?

05:04.086 --> 05:05.958
THAT LEADS US JUST QUICKLY HERE,

05:05.969 --> 05:08.079
IT WILL START FILLING UP TUESDAY

05:08.081 --> 05:09.764
NIGHT, BUT IF THAT IOWA POLL IS

05:09.775 --> 05:11.236
SOMETHING THAT SPILLS OVER TO

05:11.247 --> 05:12.518
OTHER STATES, THE MOST LOGICAL

05:12.520 --> 05:14.358
PLACE TO LOOK WOULD BE RIGHT

05:14.369 --> 05:15.938
ACROSS THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER.

05:15.939 --> 05:17.858
IOWA AND WISCONSIN ARE LIKE

05:17.869 --> 05:19.612
POLITICAL COUSINS.

05:19.647 --> 05:21.715
VERY HEAVILY WHITE STATES,

05:21.717 --> 05:23.128
DEMOGRAPHICALLY VERY SIMILAR.

05:23.139 --> 05:25.037
TONS OF BLUE COLLAR AREAS THAT

05:25.038 --> 05:26.277
USED TO VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS.

05:26.311 --> 05:27.789
VOTED FOR DEMOCRATS RIGHT UP

05:27.800 --> 05:28.663
THROUGH OBAMA.

05:28.674 --> 05:30.492
HAVE COME HEAVILY TOWARD TRUMP.

05:30.503 --> 05:32.274
IF YOU’RE SEEING SIGNIFICANT

05:32.308 --> 05:34.495
MOVEMENT IN IOWA THAT IS GOING

05:34.506 --> 05:35.695
TO SPILL OVER ELSEWHERE,

05:35.696 --> 05:36.644
WISCONSIN, A PLACE TO LOOK

05:36.645 --> 05:36.968
THERE.

05:36.970 --> 05:39.350
AND ALSO, THERE IS THAT OTHER

05:39.352 --> 05:40.758
QUESTION WITH IOWA, JUST ARE

05:40.769 --> 05:42.157
THERE OTHER STATES OUTSIDE THE

05:42.191 --> 05:43.317
BATTLEGROUND WE HAVEN’T BEEN

05:43.328 --> 05:44.570
TALKING ABOUT THAT COULD GIVE US

05:44.605 --> 05:45.366
SURPRISES ON TUESDAY?

05:45.377 --> 05:47.277
ONE THAT THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN HAS

05:47.288 --> 05:48.715
BEEN MAKING NOISE ABOUT, THE

05:48.749 --> 05:49.825
POLLING HASN’T NECESSARILY BEEN

05:49.836 --> 05:51.608
THERE FOR THEM YET, BUT WE HAVE

05:51.642 --> 05:53.100
SEEN SURPRISES BEFORE.

05:53.111 --> 05:55.273
WE’LL KEEP AN EYE ON IT, I’LL

05:55.284 --> 05:56.574
FLAG NEW HAMPSHIRE BECAUSE AT

05:56.585 --> 05:59.081
7:00 WE GET A LOT OF RESULTS.

05:59.115 --> 06:01.036
THIS WILL BE ONE OF OUR FIST

06:01.047 --> 06:02.391
READ-OUTS ON ELECTION NIGHT.

06:02.426 --> 06:03.523
IS NEW HAMPSHIRE PERUSING A

06:03.524 --> 06:04.136
SURPRISE?

06:04.137 --> 06:05.971
JD VANCE WAS THERE YESTERDAY.

06:05.982 --> 06:07.329
REMEMBER, BIDEN WON THIS BY

06:07.364 --> 06:08.443
SEVEN, BUT TRUMP NEARLY TOOK

06:08.454 --> 06:09.345
THIS STATE.

06:09.356 --> 06:11.121
HE CAME 3,000 VOTES FROM TAKING

06:11.132 --> 06:12.136
IT IN 2016.

06:12.171 --> 06:13.690
HIS CAMPAIGN AT LEAST IS SAYING

06:13.692 --> 06:15.616
THEY THINK HE CAN PUT THIS KIND

06:15.627 --> 06:16.533
OF COALITION BACK TOGETHER

06:16.534 --> 06:17.010
AGAIN.

06:17.012 --> 06:19.058
THAT WILL BE AN EARLY TEST ON

06:19.069 --> 06:20.558
ELECTION NIGHT IF WHAT THE TRUMP

06:20.569 --> 06:22.103
CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN SAYING IS TRUE

06:22.114 --> 06:23.743
AND MORE BROADLY IF THERE’S MORE

06:23.745 --> 06:24.653
ACTION OUTSIDE OF THE

06:24.688 --> 06:26.735
BATTLEGROUND STATES THAN WE HAVE

06:26.746 --> 06:27.659
BEEN THINKING.

06:27.670 --> 06:29.730
>> STEVE KORNACKI, THANK YOU.

06:29.764 --> 06:32.076
JUST DON’T FORGET NEW HAMPSHIRE,

06:32.077 --> 06:34.506
NOT RIGHT NOW, BUT IT PREVIOUSLY

06:34.517 --> 06:37.577
HAD AN ALL WOMAN DELEGATION.

06:37.578 --> 06:39.945
TWO SENATORS, THE GOVERNOR,

06:39.979 --> 06:40.839
CONGRESS MEMBERS.

06:40.850 --> 06:42.760
SO THEY KNOW HOW TO VOTE FOR

06:42.761 --> 06:44.598
WOMEN IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.

06:44.599 --> 06:46.678
I WANT TO BRING IN CORNELL

06:46.689 --> 06:48.383
BELCHER, MSNBC POLITICAL

06:48.394 --> 06:49.763
ANALYST, POLLSTER, AND

06:49.797 --> 06:51.396
DEMOCRATIC STRATEGIST, AND

06:51.407 --> 06:56.955
CORNELL, WE JUST GOT SOME NEW

06:56.966 --> 06:58.733
RESULTS FROM PBS/NPR/MARIST,

06:58.744 --> 07:00.773
SHOWING HARRIS LEADING TRUMP BY

07:00.808 --> 07:02.858
FOUR POINTS WITHIN THE MARGIN OF

07:02.869 --> 07:04.355
ERROR, TAKING IN CONTEXT WITH

07:04.356 --> 07:06.078
THE NBC POLL, THE IOWA POLL, ALL

07:06.089 --> 07:07.986
THE OTHER POLLS YOU SEE, YOUR

07:07.997 --> 07:09.091
OWN POLLING, CAMPAIGN POLLING,

07:09.102 --> 07:10.780
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS GOING ON?

07:10.791 --> 07:11.952
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS MAKING A

07:11.953 --> 07:12.682
DIFFERENCE?

07:12.717 --> 07:16.095
IS IT THE CLOSING MESSAGES, THE

07:16.097 --> 07:17.438
ANGRY MESSAGE, ANTI-FEMALE

07:17.449 --> 07:20.351
MESSAGE FROM DONALD TRUMP AND

07:20.385 --> 07:22.429
HIS SURROGATES COMPARED, OF

07:22.440 --> 07:24.997
COURSE, TO THE JOY AND OPTIMISM

07:25.008 --> 07:26.329
COMING FROM HARRIS?

07:26.330 --> 07:28.389
>> WELL, THANK YOU, LADIES FOR

07:28.424 --> 07:29.844
THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO YOU.

07:29.855 --> 07:32.983
LOOK, WHAT I TELL PEOPLE ALL THE

07:33.018 --> 07:35.128
TIME NOW, IS STOP RIDING THE

07:35.139 --> 07:36.141
POLLER COASTER.

07:36.175 --> 07:38.393
THEY’RE GOING TO BE ALL OVER THE

07:38.404 --> 07:38.991
PLACE.

07:39.002 --> 07:41.734
DEPENDING ON WHAT UNIVERSE AND

07:41.768 --> 07:43.876
WHAT MODEL UNIVERSE YOU HAVE.

07:43.887 --> 07:45.867
LOOK, YOU LOOK AT THE PBS POLL,

07:45.878 --> 07:47.644
SHE’S AT 51%.

07:47.679 --> 07:49.842
YOU LOOK AT ABC’S POLL, SHE’S AT

07:49.853 --> 07:50.408
51%.

07:50.409 --> 07:52.585
LOOK AT NBC’S POLL, SHE’S AT

07:52.596 --> 07:52.983
49%.

07:53.018 --> 07:55.227
THOSE ARE ALL SORT OF WITHIN THE

07:55.238 --> 07:56.484
MARGIN OF ERROR.

07:56.518 --> 07:57.572
YOU KNOW, THERE’S INTERESTING

07:57.583 --> 07:58.723
THINGS GOING ON.

07:58.734 --> 08:00.697
THE NBC POLL WHERE SHE’S WINNING

08:00.698 --> 08:01.546
INDEPENDENTS BUT NOT PULLING

08:01.547 --> 08:02.148
AHEAD.

08:02.149 --> 08:03.902
IN 2012, WE DIDN’T WIN

08:03.913 --> 08:04.348
INDEPENDENTS.

08:04.349 --> 08:06.180
SO THERE’S A LOT OF THINGS

08:06.181 --> 08:07.253
HAPPENING UNDERNEATH, BUT HERE’S

08:07.254 --> 08:08.410
THE SIGNAL I THINK THAT’S IN THE

08:08.411 --> 08:08.654
NOISE.

08:08.665 --> 08:10.396
YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO FIND THE

08:10.430 --> 08:11.506
SIGNAL IN THE NOISE AND THE

08:11.507 --> 08:11.753
DATA.

08:11.764 --> 08:14.495
I THINK THE SIGNAL IS IF YOU

08:14.496 --> 08:16.512
LOOK AT MOST OF THESE POLLS,

08:16.523 --> 08:18.333
DONALD TRUMP HAS A HARD TIME

08:18.367 --> 08:19.582
GETTING ABOVE 47%, 48%.

08:19.593 --> 08:22.066
WHY IS THAT IMPORTANT?

08:22.077 --> 08:23.755
BECAUSE POLLING ASIDE,

08:23.766 --> 08:24.935
BACK-TO-BACK ELECTION DAYS,

08:24.936 --> 08:26.054
LADIES, WHERE IS DONALD TRUMP

08:26.065 --> 08:26.970
AT?

08:26.981 --> 08:29.055
HE’S USUALLY AT 47%.

08:29.066 --> 08:32.473
SO I THINK PART OF THE SIGNAL IN

08:32.507 --> 08:35.066
THIS NOISE IS, HE’S BEEN UNABLE

08:35.068 --> 08:36.568
TO RAISE HIS CEILING.

08:36.579 --> 08:38.154
AND WITHOUT RAISING HIS CEILING,

08:38.165 --> 08:39.890
ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE STRONG

08:39.891 --> 08:41.603
TURNOUT LIKE IF YOU HAVE TURNOUT

08:41.638 --> 08:43.411
LOOKING ANYTHING LIKE WE SAW IN

08:43.422 --> 08:45.221
2020, HOW DOES HE GET THERE IF

08:45.255 --> 08:46.928
HE’S NOT RAISING HIS CEILING?

08:46.929 --> 08:48.602
I THINK TO THAT POINT, HIS

08:48.604 --> 08:49.839
CLOSING ARGUMENT HAS NOT HELPED

08:49.841 --> 08:51.047
HIM RAISE HIS CEILING.

08:51.058 --> 08:52.800
WHEN YOU CLOSE ON RACISM AND

08:52.834 --> 08:54.238
TELLING WOMEN THAT I’M GOING TO

08:54.249 --> 08:55.829
DO -- I’M GOING TO PROTECT YOU

08:55.864 --> 08:57.745
WHETHER YOU WANT TO BE PROTECTED

08:57.746 --> 08:59.438
OR NOT, ENDING ON SEXISM, IT’S A

08:59.449 --> 09:00.905
TOUGH CLOSE IF YOU’RE GOING TO

09:00.940 --> 09:02.247
TRY TO RAISE YOUR CEILING.

09:02.258 --> 09:05.097
I THINK MORE SO THAN ANYTHING

09:05.098 --> 09:07.325
ELSE IN THE DATA I SEE,

09:07.326 --> 09:08.774
WHOEVER’S POLL WE’RE LOOKING AT,

09:08.775 --> 09:09.942
I’M SEEING DONALD TRUMP

09:09.953 --> 09:11.602
CONSISTENTLY AT A CEILING THAT

09:11.603 --> 09:13.418
HE’S GOT TO GET ABOVE IF TURNOUT

09:13.452 --> 09:14.538
IS STRONG IN ORDER FOR HIM TO

09:14.549 --> 09:15.237
WIN.

09:15.248 --> 09:17.372
>> LOOKING DEEPER INTO THIS,

09:17.383 --> 09:19.148
CORNELL, ONE PIECE OF THIS NEW

09:19.183 --> 09:21.302
POLL THAT STUCK OUT, THIS IS

09:21.313 --> 09:22.940
ACCORDING TO THE PBS WRITE-UP,

09:22.951 --> 09:24.289
8% OF REPUBLICANS SAY THEY’LL

09:24.300 --> 09:25.235
BACK HARRIS.

09:25.269 --> 09:27.834
THAT’S DOUBLE THE NUMBER OF

09:27.836 --> 09:29.812
DEMOCRATS WHO SAY THEY WILL BACK

09:29.813 --> 09:31.028
DONALD TRUMP.

09:31.029 --> 09:32.556
ARE THESE CLOSING PEOPLE?

09:32.567 --> 09:34.325
WHAT DO YOU READ INTO THAT, AND

09:34.327 --> 09:35.676
IS THAT CONSISTENT WITH WHAT YOU

09:35.711 --> 09:36.453
HAVE BEEN SEEING?

09:36.464 --> 09:38.147
>> YEAH.

09:38.181 --> 09:41.127
I THINK, LOOK, THE HARRIS

09:41.138 --> 09:42.814
CAMPAIGN’S STRATEGY OF LEANING

09:42.825 --> 09:44.779
IN, BY THE WAY, IT’S HISTORIC.

09:44.814 --> 09:47.563
NO DEMOCRAT HAS EVER HAD THE

09:47.574 --> 09:48.806
ENDORSEMENT OF DICK CHENEY.

09:48.807 --> 09:49.244
RIGHT?

09:49.255 --> 09:52.693
NO ONE HAS EVER BEEN DOING

09:52.704 --> 09:54.459
CAMPAIGN RALLIES WITH

09:54.470 --> 09:57.745
REPUBLICANS AND WE HAVE NOT HAD

09:57.779 --> 09:59.123
REPUBLICAN LEADERS GET BEHIND

09:59.134 --> 10:00.189
DONALD TRUMP.

10:00.190 --> 10:02.364
SO YOU ARE SEEING A DIFFERENT

10:02.365 --> 10:03.660
KIND OF COALITION.

10:03.671 --> 10:06.890
I THINK SHE IS GOING TO BUILD --

10:06.901 --> 10:08.458
I WORKED FOR OBAMA IN ’08 AND

10:08.469 --> 10:08.760
’12.

10:08.761 --> 10:11.137
I THINK SHE’S GOING TO HAVE A

10:11.139 --> 10:12.488
DIFFERENT COALITION THAN OBAMA

10:12.499 --> 10:13.809
OR BIDEN DID WHEN THEY WON

10:13.811 --> 10:14.112
MAJORITIES.

10:14.113 --> 10:16.220
I THINK HER COALITION IS GOING

10:16.231 --> 10:17.506
TO BE BROADER AND EVEN MORE

10:17.517 --> 10:18.207
DIVERSE.

10:18.208 --> 10:21.759
I TELL YOU, WE WERE NOT POLLING

10:21.761 --> 10:23.863
EIGHT, NINE% OF REPUBLICANS IN

10:23.874 --> 10:25.715
THE LAST ELECTION, BUT ALSO,

10:25.726 --> 10:27.678
HERE’S THE SECRET THING.

10:27.713 --> 10:28.342
WOMEN VOTERS.

10:28.344 --> 10:29.083
RIGHT?

10:29.094 --> 10:31.196
I THINK WE ARE PROBABLY

10:31.197 --> 10:32.754
UNDERESTIMATING HOW TICKED OFF

10:32.755 --> 10:33.747
WOMEN VOTERS ARE.

10:33.748 --> 10:36.244
AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE

10:36.278 --> 10:37.375
REGISTRATION NUMBERS OF HOW

10:37.386 --> 10:39.737
WOMEN HAVE BEEN REGISTERING AND

10:39.771 --> 10:41.248
HOW THEY’RE TURNING OUT, WOMEN

10:41.259 --> 10:43.103
ARE GOING TO HAVE A LOT TO SAY

10:43.104 --> 10:44.099
ON ELECTION NIGHT.

10:44.110 --> 10:46.753
AND I THINK IT’S GOING TO BE

10:46.787 --> 10:47.615
REALLY PROBLEMATIC FOR

10:47.616 --> 10:48.017
REPUBLICANS.

10:48.018 --> 10:49.711
AND RIGHT NOW, IN THAT MARIST

10:49.722 --> 10:51.095
POLL, THE OTHER INTERESTING

10:51.128 --> 10:52.830
THING IS SHE’S AT 45% AMONG

10:52.841 --> 10:53.999
WHITE VOTERS.

10:54.010 --> 10:57.124
THAT WOULD BE A REALLY HIGH

10:57.135 --> 10:58.063
WATER MARK OVER THE LAST TWO
