disagree with the trump administration. >> let me follow up on that. now, the supreme court allowed a constitutional amendment protecting abortion rights, to be included on the november ballot. does biden have a chance of winning florida, given how those referendums have done, since the overturning of roe v wade? >> it certainly helps to put florida in play, and the other thing that is on the ballot in florida is marijuana. this is an untold story, but in ohio, in 2023, it was abortion and marijuana on the ballot, and there was a real interaction of that. the turnout of students on campuses, the margin with younger women, in particular. we could see the same thing happen, in florida. it could make a big difference. >> mark, when asked to voters wanted to be in control of congress, 40%, 47% of republicans and 46% said democrats. publicans held a four point lead in january. what can we learn from this? >> i am glad you asked that
when they said she'd been murdered, he never thought he would outlive his own daughter. >> when they said she had been murdered, i went to the dark side we all have. i wanted to kill myself because i was not there to protect her. >> it was hard for him to know how to move forward but even in death she was a comfort to her family. >> her tattoo that had some 46:5. god is within her and she will not fall. he will help her at break of day. >> it's difficult to imagine why any human would do anything that horrific to another human being. >> the detective look for answers with grim determination.
concerns goodwin joins me for a "meet the press" moment. "meet the press" moment. ch us. we have lived through hard tim >> i feel so positive about what history can teach us. we have lived through hard times before. >> joining me for insight and correspondent andrea mitchell, democratic pollster cornell belcher and republican strategist matt gorman. welcome to sunday, it's "meet the press." good sunday morning. we begin with our new nbc news poll and the headline, president biden is closing the gap with former president trump. trump leads biden by two points in a head-to-head matchup, 46% to 44%. biden has narrowed that deficit
he was at 46%. back in 1992, george h.w. bush, he was at 43%. biden below both of those. the last time biden has been at this level, 46%, go to the start of 2023. the last time he was higher than that, you gotta go back to the summer of 2021, his first year as president. so biden has some work to do on that one. also, troubling for the biden campaign, the erosion of public confidence on a number of critical fronts. we asked voters in this poll about a number of leadership characteristics. there are two -- only two where biden has the edge over trump. we talk about abortion. we talked about this. >> that's a big one. >> that's the biggest advantage. bringing the country together, biden performing better than trump. i think the headline here is you add those two numbers together, you are not close to 100.
little boost, but our poll shows it's murkier than that. >> that's the thing. we show a 46-44 race for donald trump. all those liabilities for biden, trump only ahead two. what the trump folks have been hoping, rfk, gobbles up votes. but, look what happens when we add rfk's name to the mix. suddenly, we have a new leader. joe biden, 39%, donald trump 37%, kennedy getting 13%. in other words, we're seeing by a better than two-to-one margin, it's trump voters who are flipping over to kennedy in the scenario, not biden voters. see it here, 15% of trump voters, when we add rfk's name, they go to rfk. only 7% of biden voters. a big change right there. >> defies conventional wisdom. there's no doubt about that. >> absolutely. we haven't seen this in other polls. one final note is this, the question of enthusiasm. i thought this really jumped out here. the most engaged voters, those who voted in 2020, voted in the midterm elections, those folks
what is he through all of our nbc polling? he's at 46%. right now, 46%. the last election? 46%. his support stays solid. where i'm worried about or where i see you can see growth here is i think donald trump is at a ceiling and biden is close to his floor. where he's off most, he's off most among young voters. the other part about this is enthusiasm, which is really the headline is, if these young voters aren't enthusiastic and they don't show up and break for biden big, that's how trump wins. >> andrea, pick up on that. this is all going on against the backdrop of donald trump in court for his first criminal trial this week. >> the fact is, we don't know how that is going to play. up until now, the legal cases helped him fund-raise, tell people he is a victim, energize his base. so he's risen in the polls with every indictment.
check. this was before the start of his trial in new york city. new york news polling shows trump ahead of biden by two points, 46% over 44%. when the field expands to include third party candidates, biden takes the lead over trump, 39% to 37%. that's because 15% of voters whoous wheevously voted for trump would now vote for kennedy. fascinating. still ahead, what we're hearing about the u.s. sanctioning a combat unit. plus columbia univerity
work with him again. those your headlines again. back over to you. >> lawrence: i used to have a stutter, too. it doesn't impede me. >> brian: doesn't talk to me talk to him other people i talk to talk to him and says is he sharp. >> ainsley: keep in mind is he an actor. >> lawrence: good. >> brian: time for knee read. that's why earn is looking at me. [laughter] a new poll says former president trump is still favored over president biden in a head-to-head matchup. but that lead is getting even narrower. >> will: same poll put biden behind trump mental acuity and ability to handle a crisis. >> ainsley: peter doocy live at the white house with the latest for us. >> peter: the race is tightening. this poll had trump with a 5-point lead. this nbc poll had trump with a 5 point lead in january. now down to 2 points. the numbers are trump 46. biden 44. this is really interesting. biden takes the lead when r.f.k. jr. and others are listed on a five-way ballot. that is a sign that r.f.k. could
be hurting trump more than is he hurting biden. biden is also found in this new survey to be the better candidate on the issues of abortion and unifying the country. but, on every other major issue, he is trailing trump. you've got dealing with inflation, the cost of living. trump 52. biden 30. the necessary mental and physical health to be president. trump 45. biden 26. handling a crisis, trump 46, biden 42. strong record as president, trump 46, biden 39. and then the competent and effective category has trump by 11 points. 47 to 36: the poll finding people very interested in 2024 election is at its lowest point since 2012. that is a sign that turnout could wind out being low, too. back to you. >> ainsley: thank you, peter. >> brian: i mean that, is the one poll. that is the outlier with the r.f.k. taking away from trump
