country. he doesn t necessarily have a lot of goodwill to lose, and he s spent a lot of maybe what he came in, because things have not gone well. chris cillizza, one of the most striking if not the most striking part of this new poll is the truth level that americans have. do you truth what you hear coming from the white house, was the. only 24% said yes. that is just so striking even republicans say they re not believing the white house messaging. it s at though people have just kind of accept that you re not going to be able to believe what sort of comes out of the white house. and i would argue that a lot of people accepted that in the election and voted for donald trump. if you look at in 2016 exit polling, if you look at that
even question the president s faith and why christians would support him. trump who identifies as a presbyterian has demonstrated a basic lack of understanding about the christian faith, including what constitutes evangelical, but as christian supporters are unfazed. exit polling from the presidential race showed 81% of self identified evangelicals voted for president trump. let me start with this. there are black terraces across america. i don t get it, who thinks that it s not a good idea? armani says in god we trust, why wouldn t we pray for our leader? mark: on the left particularly, there are secular elites it s creeped out by ostentatious displays of faith, so a little residual episcopalian is him is okay, but when you ve got laying on hands, that s way too much.
1,000% right. just to add, donald trump seems to believe that lines do not exist for him. right? he s not he doesn t take a step over a line. he wipes it out and then says, if you say there was line, that s ridiculous. there s no line there, even if you can see the line. it worked for him in a political setting, because he ran against political convention, to your point, chris, that people hated so much, they were willing to accept a flawed messenger, which they acknowledged he was. look at his favorable receiptings even when he won in the exit polling. they didn t like him. they liked what he represented. the problem with that is, just because you succeeded in wiping out some political conventions that should rightly be questioned, doesn t mean to david s point, that you can take basic human decency, how we treat one another outside of political calculus and say, ah, that s out the window, too. i got rid of everything. the media said i was wrong.
it seems it s constitutional. eboni: i don t know if i agree, eric. lisa boothe, your take on it. lisa: could move further to the right. that was the smartest thing president trump did in the election was released a list of potential supreme court nominees he would choose because this is what galvanized the republican base for him. if you look at the exit polling, one fifth of the voters had the supreme court was the number one issue. 57-40%, it s a huge issue during the campaign. in regard to the travel pause, it s a big win for the presiden president. eboni: i like that. travel pause. lisa: president trump has couched this as a national security issue and it seems that serene court agrees with him, in part the statement they said that tips in favor of the government compelling to provide for the nation s national security. seems like they agree with
close, it still shows republicans those that were in districts that clinton won and modern districts and suburban districts i think that s what we re going to hear tonight. when we look ahead to tonight, i think it is important. not everybody lives in georgia. this race is not going to affect the daily lives of all of us necessarily from a local perspective. so, if you re watching msnbc tonight, our special coverage, what are you going to be listening for? what is the thing you re looking for an hour after the polls close to tell you which way you think this thing is going? we just saw over in the uk in their elections that made a big difference in the outcome. i think it s something that is always a challenge to mobilize young voters. i think that s one thing i m curious to see how many young people are voting. i m looking for two things. i don t know exit polling and data on these people. i want to know how much was
