Now look at those who have gotten the booster. it's less than 20%. obviously the race to get people boosted up has only just begun, but even if you look at the polling -- there's new polling from the kaiser family foundation. what does it show? 53% of adults say they have gotten or will likely get the booster, and that's only a little changed from last month with 50% -- or two months ago, october, 50%. we've got first doses but when it comes to boosters we're a long ways off. >> also break down politically by state, red state/blue state. >> it absolutely does. if you look among those fully vac...

What does it show? 53% of adults say they have gotten or will likely get the booster, and that's only a little changed from last month with 50% -- or two month ago, october, 50%. we've got first doses but when it comes to boosters we're a long ways off. >> also break down politically by state, red state/blue state. >> it absolutely does. if you look among those fully vaccinated, over 50% of republicans are, but with democrats it's significantly higher. and you have about a 0 point gap. now look at the boosters. you see an even wider, this huge partisan gap -- north of 40 percentage points. and...

President obama and wiretapping. that might have brought him down, but you know what, this looks like the campaign did on a good day, donald trump and the race against hillary would be mid-40s, low 40s, he could drop down to the 30s. it looks like in many ways when it comes to public opinion and trump, it's a repeat of the campaign. and this is one thing -- you look at a republican like susan collins, why does she, you know, have a qualified defense of trump? a lot of it is republicans like him. republican voters still very much like him. the complete opposite for democrats. huge partisan gap ...
