As they see it. a lot of my family members are still behind donald trump and they say you guys are all after him and he gave us gorsuch. >> he has a lot of running room for his core base. the essence of his politics is the fight. it is the rage. i think that when we, on this set when were angry at something he does or we complain or the media complains and even when there are headlines saying washington is in chaos, things cant get done, i think among his core support, thats all a good thing. >>...

Costs of pulling out of the paris climate accord is minimal. if you look not just at the core base, but voters in general, most voters dont care that much about climate policy. i think the president is doing something that he may see as an act of political theater and political theater that may bring real political benefit. i dont see the evidence in that or looking at the data in climate policy. >> except the numbers show that republicans and americans overall, thought that we should stay in th...

Are right now in columbus, ohio? >> yeah. i think the conversation about the russian investigation and the feelings that people have about that investigation very often overlap with how people feel about the media. i often find when folks talk about russia, they say theres a distrust of the media and feeling that the media is being unfair to president trump. its really difficult to untangle those two sentiments. i will say that if were talking about trumps base, we have to keep in mind two separ...

State. donald trump won it by 21 points back in november. so, democrats definitely succeeded at chipping into that 21 points. they took about two-thirds of the margin off it looks like, from 21, they knocked it down to 7 points. still, democrats were hoping especially with that last-minute controversy last night, they were hoping to do better than 7 points. so, what happened? how did it come to this tonight? lets take a quick look at the map and some of the things we can tell you. some of the cl...

Board of directors, whatever, trump is used to getting his way when he says it. washington doesnt work like that. >> reporter: thats the bottom line. folks dont see the russia investigation or bob mueller news as directly impacting their life. even the democrats frankly said they want to see the president get a little bit of space and a little bit of patience, they still want to see if he can deliver on some of his other promises. this is not issue number one here and certainly not eroded suppor...

Hes nominated, you can be sure there will be confirmation fireworks. >> dooirn, i waiane, one thing o is talk to trump and hillary supporters to find how things are playing with them. this last week, i dont know if its been a tipping point, but certainly an unusual week for president trump in terms of firing the fbi director and everything that came after that and all the other stories, sharing classified information with the russians. >> it was a long list. >> and then, of course, this comey me...

What do you think this says about trumps core base of supporters? >> we saw this on the campaign trail when we talked to voters during the campaign and this speaks to some bernie sanders supporters. the fear of change, the idea the lifestyle people had that was possible is no longer possible for their children or grandchildren, that we would be the first generation in history to not see the next generation move forward this is something we saw on the campaign trail last year. we didnt realize ho...

Ranked as discriminatory or racist or divisive in any way. but i dont see him reaching across the aisle to other voters if he can secure his core base. but there are elements of his core base which are insecure as well. those workers in pennsylvania and elsewhere are looking to see where the jobs are going to come back in their communities, and currently they dont see it. >> to get that kind of success on the job front as well, you need legislative action. its all been about executive orders. ho...

And we are back. "data download" time. there was a lot of talk this week on tax reform. and we still dont know exactly what the trump tax bill will look like. a lot of the criticism though has centered around how the plan appears to benefit the wealthiest americans, doing away with the estate tax but it could also help many people in the presidents core base of supporters. more than 1,800 counties that voted for president trump had a median household income of less than $45,000 per year. toe the...
