The 1st populated area where it has, it doesnt have running water, it doesnt have electricity, but at least it does have occasional wi fi and the migrants can stop for a while, there was an old post to help a Health Office very, very small. The places at full of mud people are coming here theyve been, theyre desperate in fact because they were roberts with the majority of the people in the to the you see here were rob. A few women were raped, things are getting more and more dangerous, more difficult here in this passage through that, that in gap on the attempted trip. Cuz United States, but still the people just keep coming us house of representatives as post a stop gap measure that could is that the government shut down the vote for the 45 day funding bill came in. The republican controlled house, the silence before the current funding did expires. So it is now voting on the bill if possible, go to present binding for his signature to avoid a shot down. The plan does not include additional funding for ukraine, and this is what the senate wanted to do was focused on ukraine in front of america. I understand our responsibilities, but im going to put america 1st. If theres a moment in time, we need to have a discussion about that. We will have a discussion completely about that. But i think the administration has to make the case for record of victory. And ive asked the administration to come down and talk to a members of our senior government officials in cost of, of told us here that said the, it has withdrawal. And some of its troops on the board that is when a sharp rise intentions and majority ethnic sub regions in northern cost of the us area of 1. 00 set, the tentative measures for what it describes as an unprecedented truth built up on the cost of a boulder. Building marks has more from the cost of those capital at 0. 15 a day, the government, the cost of, of insisted it was prepared to defend its territory. The integrity following what it called, the deployment of serbian forces. Thousands of military installations alongside the border between the 2 countries. President alex on the village of serbian, says that he was not prepared to cross the border into kosovo with his forces because of his home, his countrys hopes, of joining the european union. Thatd been calls from both the e u and the United States for the escalation in the situation. And following that, the Prime Ministers Office here in kosovo telling al jazeera, they have now confirmed that has been a partial roll down of some sub in forces. O s. The medians are fleeing, theyre going to colorado, but most are heading to on media. Fearing of persecution, of the i was about zone took control of and quite the government in your event and says more than 100000 people have crushed into its territory. Its not what else can you repeat in union for help . I, are you an instruction to deliver a to hundreds of thousands of suit in these refugees . Its costing to duff or the chad besides the rainy season is making a difficult journey. Even more challenging because roads of flooded results in them all of these show that opposition candidate. I mean, these is on cost when the president ial run of well hes favors close to ties to china at a time when india has been fixing its economic clout in the movies, this challenge of the incumbents that i sent him so that i was favored in india, 1st approach and so back here, whats a tight contest between pro west and then the pro russian punch is that the results show the positive form of less disappointment as to what fee cause and believe it when it will lead coalition thoughts on forming the next government and vote counting is finished and as pertaining author fridays parliamentary elections, 59. 00 states, and as though a house up for grabs, but they Political Parties allowed to participate for its excited votes. Was a sham. Theres a headlines monique, out there, off to the bottom by the a. Hi, im Steve Clements and i have a question. How worried or American Voters about a president ial election with a choices between one candidate is getting up there a little bit, an age, and then other who might be convicted of crimes before election day. Lets get to the bottom line. The with us president ial elections about a year away, all signs point to a rematch between President Joe Biden and former president donald trump. But along the way, a lot of stuff could happen. Congress is investigating whether binding benefited from his familys business dealings. Is it a fishing expedition or could it lead to is impeachment . Meanwhile, trump balances from one legal proceeding to another in 3 different states. And a 4th trial here in the nations capital, which is technically not a state. And besides the personal challenges of the parties leading candidates, how about the most pressing issues facing americans today, like Violent Crime or like trying to get by in this economy . To find out more about where the American People stand these days, were talking to 2 leading pollsters. Jeff, forward of heart research, which does research for the Democratic Party and mike roberts of Public Opinion, strategies, which does research for the Republican Party. Gentleman is great to have you or i always love the shows where i can get a snapshot and take the temperature of all americans by talking to folks like yourself. Let me start with you, mike, and ask how thrilled are americans with this choice of joe biden . And donald trump, which i know is not solidified yet, but thats where things look right now. Well, its great to be on and i would just say americans arent looking forward to that match up more or less. People are saying that thats not the kind of uh, candidates, uh, candid matchup that they want. Although um, you know, that is, that does seem to be where things are headed. And people have made up their minds about those 2 candidates fairly in the large portion because theyre so well known and they get to compare what a president the presidency under trump looks like versus what a presidency under under binding looks like. And so theres a lot that people understand about these 2 candidates know about them, but a lot of the calling says that people arent too excited about that match up. So let me ask you a question. Why is the system so stuck that only these 2 to whats the, what is happening in the us political system that were ending up with 2 non optimal choices that the nation is looking at. I mean, how, how do your republican can you know, conversational to see it as well, in terms of why were stuck in this choice . One of the main reasons is because of for better for worse, donald trump is the kind of the, the, the center of gravity of american politics. And we asked a question in this poll about, or are you voting me or for donald trump or against joe biden . Among truck motors and we asked the same thing and then bind orders. We said, are you voting more for a for binding or against the truck . In both instances the plurality said, oh no, this is a way more about truck for me than it is about buying. So even among bidens voters, this is a referendum on trump. He is continue to be the center of, of the economic, im sorry, of the political conversation. And even as there is, you know, theres only one president at a time. And in america, he has kind of gotten enough of the limelight that this, this is for one conclusion that were talking about is a lot because of the coverage that he continues to get. And mostly negative coverage from january 6 from is multiple indictments. And just from just being a newsworthy, uh, figure, an individual that that news outlets honestly wants to cover because of the ratings that they get. So thats where we, thats part of the problem of the, of the well problem. Thats part of the system. Systematic structure here thats keeping this locked into this kind of less than optimal choice for voters. Just let me ask you the same question, but you know, as you kind of look at the democratic side, one of the things that surprising to me candidly, would love you to comment are the polls out there that right now that said if the election were held tomorrow trump would get about 43 percent of the vote by and we get about 43 percent. Theres still about 14 percent out there sorting it out. And i am surprised by that because, you know, i think if i honestly were wanting to run a guess present trumpet. So maybe independents are a little bit worried about the guy. Maybe these convictions matter to some americans, it would look like a slam dunk for the democrats. So what is going on on your side of the equation of the people youre talking to . Yeah, so steve, but 2020 election never ended. Mm hm. We and this is not, we are not living through a normal time. This is not what donald trump keeps saying. You never know what and, and, and, and hes the reason why. And the Republican Party is the reason why it never ended. We have not been in a situation where the losing candidate and election refused to accept the results lied to january 6th and, and, and that is fundamentally different than anything weve ever experienced. And so mike is quite right, this question. Weve asked us up and its a really important question is whats your vote about . And we have access to other times when there was an incumbent president in 2004 at George W Bush and in 2012 at brock obama, both times a majority of voters that this, thisll actually my choice is about the incumbent president. Thats not what is happening now and, and that is a really important point is that donald trump did not fade away after the election, which most losing candidates, do he still front and center . And thats what this of election about thats between 20 election was about a majority of binding voters when asked who about why my voting is to get donald trump out of office. Were still in effect, reside of getting that election. And thats what is fundamentally differential with mike is saying that donald trump, this is all about trump, you mean hes, hes got a strong point. There is a very strong point, and thats where the debate tonight is going to be about trump, even though hes not in there where he wont be there. And so thats what fundamentally is different about this election. And id take your point about the democratic or concerns on the democratic side. I mean, let me just just jumping to ensure your graphic here for, you know, a 2nd about concerns about President Bidens age and, and the, and the fact is around and we get in that for a minute. But when we see that, you know, when, when uh, nbc newsboy, all says that when it comes to physical and Mental Health concerns about joe biden, with binding its 74 percent with trump is 47 percent. Theyre only 3 years apart, right . Ones in his high seventys the others and his low eightys. So whats going on there and why is age hitting one so much more significantly than the other . Yeah. So i think like the, the there are we have, we have a majority of have Major Concerns about about, about bidens house. And also majority are concerned about trump and his and the trials and what that will mean for the, for, for the, for him and his ability to serve as, as, as president if he were elected. The important thing about these concerns is that theyre not all equal. So the yes people are concerned about bidens age. But if you look at people who are, are Major Concerns about them, theyre still a good chunk of those voters, almost the one and 5 who are voting for advice for president. Thats not the same for those who have Major Concerns about trump and the ends trials, january 6th and his involvement there. Its a fundamentally different level of concern. So if you ask concern that doesnt necessarily mean theyre not there, theyre gonna, theyre not voting for by them because those are 2 very different issues. The question for voters is, do you want . What has happened over these last few years with joe biden . And Campbell Harris administration, where it is a more confident focus demetrius and get us out of carpet or do you want to return to the chaos and division and are really messy and, and even response to cobra id, which i think most americans dont want. And thats, thats rep proof in our, in our paul mike, another factor out there thats, you know, getting tossed into the soup of all of this are, you know, issues about impeachment inquiries and, you know, the, the efforts, you know, tied into issues of funding. The government, the government shut down or is an impeachment inquiry into the behavior of joe biden. Lets listen to this clip from congressman matt gates. Id love to get your thoughts. Joe biden deserves impeachment for converting the vice presidency into an atm machine for virtually his entire family. So mike and thats also in the mix. And what im trying to figure out is how americans are hearing this. Do they do . They think theres something there, do they think this is a, you know, in solvent fishing expedition . Will it have any traction, politically, from your point of view right now, or was it too early to tell . And i think americans are much more concerned about what their own atm looks like then about that kind of comment about about buying right now because of jeff. Talked about the kind of contrast that americans are making between these 2 candidates. And of course, you know, theres not, its not, there hasnt been a single vote cast yet. So we talked a lot about trump, but the culture of the other contract, so they can make between these 2. Can this is what the economy looked like under uh, President Trump compared to what is looked like over the last few years. And that is a, that isnt a really important contrast when we were doing the cnbc 4, which is a quarterly pulled. And i do as well with the heart, with the talented folks that are research um during the trip years, it was record after record, after record of High Economic confidence, people felt like things were finally uh, the economy is finally moving forward. Um cobit hits and it got very messy to, to, to just point. But since then, you know, inflation has taken a real hit and a real chunk out of out of peoples economic confidence. And now for the last couple years, what weve seen is record low record, low record, low confidence over and over and over. And weve been measuring that all of these things since the great recession. And were even seeing lower confidence on so many measures compared to even the midst of the great recession. And so talked about contrast, i think in this pull, an important contrast that people are made is for the 1st time actually for the highest margin, for republicans in terms of this basic thing. Who do you trust more to take care of and handle the economy . Republicans have a 21 point advantage is the highest weve measured in the nbc, poland going back 30 years. So we can have a conversation about contrast and these 2 administrations. But i think an important part of that is the economic realities people are facing. Well, its an out, i mean, just, mike, let me just drill down a little bit further with you on that. Um, you know, not too long ago, joe biden, and his team is economic advisor, janet yellen here at bernstein others in the economics bure. A bible land came out said, this is how great vide nomics is the named economics after this president. Is that a loser from your perspective, given the anxieties americans are feeling . Well, lets just look at what the president is promising. Hes promising Economic Growth from the middle out and bottom up. And if you look at the data over the last 2 years, who gets crushed . Whos getting crush the bottom of the economic scale and the middle class . Again, in this pull, we found a 2 point margin for democrats having an advantage, the Democratic Party having an advantage on handling and looking out for the middle class. We see record low and measures of your economic satisfaction in your personal economic satisfaction. And so both of those things tell me that that messages not penetrating. Yes, he asked to go out and talk about this because its a, thats a gaping hole in a weakness and his, and his re election bit. But the idea that by the nomics right now is a net positive for this president is really a base play. I dont think many people outside of you know, the core core. The vitamin motor is hearing that and believes it. Because again, hes making a promise that doesnt actually isnt being reflected right out. Right. Jeff is, is by nomics a winning bumper sticker. And let me just add an element. The president , the United States, went out and, and went to a store, you know, strike with united off auto workers. Went to a picket line. And you know, a lot of those strike are, you know, the folks that are striking at United Auto Workers in this labor dispute with General Motors are out there. Because if theyre concerned about elect electric vehicles and about Renewable Energy and about a guy and about various things that the by the administration has champion. So heres the press, the United States striking in some ways against the policies he brought to this economy. How is this playing with, with people youre talking to . Well, its important if you say youre going to be the most pro Union President in history, you need to show up when the, when the labor event is under attack. I know because the car is that right thats, thats that, that, that is a part of whats going on here. But if use and then you have to show up, hes showing up here and he is delivering on what he promised much like is delivering on the economy. And yes, im getting them and now pump some of these things, some it well, and its important. Its also important to remember that uh, you know, the term obamacare when the Affordable Care act was passed was, was at the beginning, was it was not a popular term and tell president obama embrace. So you said, yeah, its a obama care if im gonna get people on Health Insurance and save peoples lives and make a difference for people. Yeah, im
