how about asa hutchinson, minus 18 points net favorability rating. far more republicans have a unfavorable view than a favorable view. how about mike pence? minus 17 points. will herd wasn't even on the debate stage, even he has a net negative favorability rating at minus 17 points. did you hear the pun intended with the heard and hurd there? so who's gained? who has done well or boosted their favorability? >> who are the two people who have seen the biggest gains in their net favorability ratings? tim scott is really sort of running in his own lane, running on this positive message, not attacking donald trump, but not praising him necessarily either. how about vivek ramaswamy who is basically praying at the cult of donald trump, plus 30 points. so basically, you can't go against trump. you can go down the middle, try not to mention him, or praise him. either one of those pathways work. the other thing i will note, what do republicans want? gop voters, the case trump's rivals should make at debates.
to connect honestly. so how long did desantis have to turn it around and can he finish the primary race, can he beat trump? ground. january is a lifetime in american politics. now it's probably a good time for a shakeup. about a couple things on style yes we know personality matters. we can measure that with favorability ratings. but if you were trying to use on the inauthentic, voters don't respond very well to that. and trump style is well-liked among the gop. it is part of the reason he resonate with voters in 2016. but if you try to emulate that as ron desantis perhaps is and it does not come off genuinely, that can turn into something bad but may be better off sick i am a policy walk and not that great at this a gladhanding political stuff but get me in an executive
we turn now to ned ryan for his reaction in the conservative perspective. he's the ceo of. american majority. ned,e di what do i go? where did i go wrong with the congressman? there? didnell, i mean, he clearly didn't want to answer the question that kamala is clearly incompetent, has no political talent. i mean, the democratic voters in the primary of 2020 made that very clear, that she was taleatic vothe was unrelatable it ,she was cringeworthy. and let's face it, she's not bright. she demonstrated that almost every time she opens her mouth. honestly, i mean, you look at heok r, her favorability ratings, the biden administration would do well to essentiallyon wouldet disappear her, lawrence, and make her disappear and get h her back to neutral and hopes that people forget that shet existsts to get her back to to the neutral and net favorability. utral nebut i think there's a br conundrum that's actually taking place in thisth whole dynamic with kamala, clearly unlikabl kame and biden ailing. and i think it's created a conundrum for those that the
the math there is slightly different. but when you look at the democratic governor who has good ratings, good favorability ratings, the path still is quite narrow, to your point, and when you're appealing to such a small segment of the electorate, your intentionally narrowing your path to the point it becomes impossible. >> 72% of voters oppose banning the 1619 project or other works on slavery and race and don't consider them racially divisive. nearly two in three oppose banning the abortion pill. 76% of u.s. adults favor requirement criminal and mental background checks for those buying guns. 14%, only 14% of u.s. adults think that drag shows should be banned. republicans are picking issue after issue that are super minority issues. they don't even have 50% support for any of the things they're doing. what is the motivation to keep doing them? >> the motivation is to appeal to this base. it's the tooth paste is out of the tube. they don't know how to go back. they lose their base on one
desantis. they are not happy. they know that they're going into a very dark path that they got to go home and be able to now defend in their own districts everything that they just passed this legislative session. and they are digging this hole, but i don't know if you saw today, but 99 of them came out today and endorsed ron desantis. he's holding them hostage because he still hasn't done the budget yet, so he has threatened vetoes of their budget priorities. he's threatened vetoes of their priority pieces of legislation. has threatened to primary them in their next elections. show's holding legislature hostage. this is not who so many of them are. granted, there's going to be a handful that have drank the cool aid and believe in this ideology, but for everybody else, they know that this is a death march and unfortunately they don't know how to peddle backwards until he truly starts to lose ground in key states like iowa and new hampshire and the recognition that he won't be the nominee. >> or in districts like in new york. so you have george santos, his
great long ways to go, it's been 28 months since donald trump left the white house here. he's a hunter sent name recognition, we're seeing 80% favorability ratings. that is still pretty darn good, if you're a candidate in republican primary field right now, lindsey. >> vaughn, thank you. turning now to the border, where border crossings remain elevated. new numbers show border crossings show went down after title 42 is lifted. but shelters and border patrol facilities remain overwhelmed. nbc correspondent read jackson is in el paso, texas. brie, it's good to see, what are you seeing. what did these numbers tell us. >> good afternoon, lindsey. so far today, we haven't seen much action here, standing along the southern border at gate 42, i'm told that this is one of the key areas where migrants crossing from mexico here to el paso. so far, what we're seeing, ever since friday, we're told that 8000 undocumented migrants crossed over the southern border.
besides whether trump needs to work more on his nicknames. i hate the name calling but i will say i don't know if that one is working. we should mention, desantis hasn't even declared that he is running. we have to keep that in mind. but is he at risk of appearing weak if he doesn't respond here? >> well, there is no evidence that any of the attacks trump is leveling whether nicknames or these ridiculous attacks he somehow opposes all social security, there is no evidence that any of this is working. if you look at ron desantis' favorability ratings within the republican party at the state or national levels, they are quite high. and he has virtually no detractors in the party. right now i don't know there is any reason for desantis to have to respond. i think what trump is doing looks weak, desperate, and none of it is really sticking. he is kind of flailing things at the wall. some spaghetti here. it is kind of running down and not sticking up there. i think desantis is okay for now. obviously trump is not going to stop and he'll ultimately have
smarter, i think, to stay focused on whatever issues it is that he thinks are going to help him win the nomination, which is the -- if he decides to run, which, let's face it, he's in iowa in early march, and he lives in florida. he's probably pretty seriously thinking about running for president. that's what he's going to do, then he should just focus more on the issues that he has that excite the base. >> scott, there was reporting today by "politico" about how many of the other republican presidential candidates both declared and undeclared are focused on attacking trump and desantis. they're thinking importantly that there's only one viable lane for the anti-trump vote, and therefore they need to take the fight to desantis. do you agree with that? >> i do. i think in this primary you've got trump, and then there's going to be one other person that emerges, and right now if you look at desantis' favorability ratings and really look at the fact that he has virtually no detractors inside the republican party, every other republican candidate who wants this thing is going to have to find a way to drag him down. i don't know how they're going
on hand. trump, $81 million. and, as you rightfully perfectly stated, scott, desantis hasn't even declared. when you see that, i mean, should trump be worried? >> oh, yeah. he should definitely be worried. if you look at the numbers, desantis and trump in a lot of the polling have very similar favorability ratings, which are quite high. but desantis has virtually no unfavorability number, while trump's un-favs are high. trump is probably the most defined politician in america. he could raise a lot of money. but is a tv commercial going to make you like or dislike him more than you already do? probably not. desantis has room to grow, and he's going to have the war chest to do that. so right now i would be quite worried if i were trump. his best hope honestly may be that this field gets so large and people don't have the good sense to get out of the way. that will work in trump's favor, but desantis has the capacity to be a juggernaut not just on the
