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.

back in the presidency? i think it's a very powerful -- that's a very, very powerful argument, and i think it will play with at least a subset of undecided, swing voters. >> well, it certainly should. a critical question to be answered by those undecided voters over the next six months. thanks so much, charlie. thank you to the "washington post"'s jackie alemany for your great reporting, as always. greatly appreciate it. >> great to have you all this morning. one of the throughlines to what we've been discussing is the notion of character. it is really going to be playing out in the trial we'll be watching this week. joining us is a woman who worked for the 41st president, jean becker, author of "character matters: and other life lessons from george h.w. bush." it is great to have you on the show, jean. i love the timing for this book. i feel like it is going to

remind people of the greatest parts of public service, whether you're a democrat or republican. i think it is fair to say. george h.w. bush, character mattered to him in his administration. >> good morning. i'm so honored to be with you all this morning. boy, timing is everything. i've been sitting here trying to figure out how i can make this book mandatory reading for every single person in washington, d.c. if you all have any good ideas, i would love to hear them. but the book is all about character and president bush's leadership skills. one of my favorite quotes in the book is from former british prime minister major, who said working with george bush was like taking a master class in leadership. >> and his relationships, he worked on them. whether he needed them or not, whether they were timely or not,

where are they from? middle eastern students, middle eastern civilians or immigrants in new york or agitators like we have seen before? >> more the latter. the kind of thing we saw during occupy wall street, saw a lot of it after the george floyd incident in 2020. what happened here is that the pro-palestinian cause has very cleverly allied themselves with other groups and they managed to leverage all these groups on the left so they are getting funding and organization. that's why all the tents look the same and why they are getting buses. for them that really works. the problem here is that it is segueing into a trouble sew area. yelling we are hamas. every day will be october 7th. a quote from one of them. you are getting to a point where you would open cases on these folks. the problem is because it hits this wide swath of progressive activists, you start opening

Countdown to Iowa

president. what iowa does often produce is surprises. it has always been that way. in 1972, george mcgovern was a long shot senator from south dakota who used his second place finish in iowa to propel him to the democratic nomination. in 1980, ronald reagan was considered such a lock that he skipped the last debate. the winner of the republican caucus that year turned out to be george h.w. bush, getting him enough attention to land him a spot on the ticket as vice president. in 2004, howard dean's fall from early front runner to third place prompted this infamous scream in des moines right after he lost the caucuses. he was trying to keep his disappointed supporters fired up. >> we're going to washington, d.c. to take back the white house! >> the flip side of that story would be jimmy carter, who actually got fewer votes than people who chose uncommitted, but he used iowa as a spring

domestically?" if you have one policy that doesn't go well, you're projected as showing weakness for america abroad. joe biden has an appreciation for the fact that history will look kindly on him for the degree of difficulty of running, right now, two hot wars in two of the most important regions on earth, and doing it extremely well. but in terms of his domestic politics, in terms of his re-election in 2024, i think it will, you know, with that and about ten bucks, you could get him a nice starbucks vete latte. there's no political upside in this for joe biden. >> as richard haass said a couple weeks ago, the one thing he learned about -- from george h.w. bush's presidency when he was working with george h.w. bush, is when it came to foreign policy, doing the right thing all the time and being great at

ask george h.w. bush about being a good foreign policy president. i guess in iowa right now among republicans, foreign policy is just not on their mind, is it? >> no. i mean, the extent it is on anybody's mind, there's the part of the party in this party, the democratic party, and those that cater to it want to retreat from the world stage. they have the isolationist tendency. we see it in both parties. when it pops up in domestic politics, we see it. but you're right, it is a thankless part of being president of the united states. you basically get no political credit for all the things, as you made that list, because there is a presumption on the part of a lot of americans that that's what america's role should be in the world. creating peace through strength, keeping markets open, doing those things, it's, like, "thank you very much. what have you done for me lately

but you have ground game versus momentum. we're going to see, especially with this weather, whether haley's momentum converting some democrats and independents into polls and voters i've talked to, can see desantis and the conservative caucus we used to think of as the base of the republican party, a base that is now dominated by the conservative populists that are supporting donald trump. >> all right. david drucker, thank you so much. >> thank you, david. >> i love the way you framed that. i'm going to go to chris about it, but it is ground game versus momentum. i mean, chris, he just puts it perfectly. you and i both know, adrienne certainly knows it, anybody that has been in politics knows, there's nothing like what george h.w. bush called big mo, you know, big momentum. you know, people just sense when
