guess it's gonna be this guy. >> my question is in those instances when there is so much dislike, this being the second time around, how close is abc tracking enthusiasm? because how many those people are just going to sit out? certainly among younger people who are becoming discouraged, and i think some of the numbers they noted were about people who supported biden last time around, and his approval being soft among people under 30, people living in cities, that sort of thing. how much is they're tracking how likable they are to ultimately vote, to make a pick? >> yeah, this is something i've looked at for a long period time, which is trying to understand how enthusiasm converts into actually voting, right. and what we know from the poll data we've seen so far, there is this cornell college poll come out, done by and selzer, done in march, i believe, and what it actually showed is that biden voters were about as likely to say they were to vote as trump voters back in 2020. despite the fact we've had
we will see fiery speeches from democrats today. then the focus will no cause back to biden's infrastructure plan. that is what's on the white house again do you, not voting right. the president is headed to scrantop this afternoon to talk about the agenda on the social and physical infrastructure. even as democrats are pairing down his bill. we're going to have the very latest on what's in and what's out. at least for the moment. that will come up later in the show. the awkward reality is that amid this erosion of democracy, president biden is struggling politically. his polar rating continues to slide, down to 37% in a couple national polls, one is quinnipiac, you may have scenttism scenttism, it's at 37% from grinnell and selzer.
and the political reporter for the associated press in des moines, iowa. thanks to both of you for being with us. steve, let me go with you first. in terms of the meaning and significance of this poll there's been all this talk for a while now that warren has momentum and is climbing. now here is a poll, a quality poll showing her in the lead in the first in the nation caucus state. i guess here's the skeptical question to ask you. is she peaking too soon? >> well, that is a great question. the des moines register poll is the gold standard in iowa and selzer has been the gold standard pollster there for a couple decades. the caucuses are in early february. they are a long way away. she wouldn't be the first person who opened up a lead however small in this case, a statistical tie essentially with joe biden, she wouldn't be the first candidate to open up a lead in the fall leading up to the caucuses and see that lead not hold up by the time you got to caucus time. there's a lot of campaigning to
did. if i saw a 5-year-old drinking a can of soda, i might say that's not so good but if i saw them drinking a juice box or smoothie, something with organic label perhaps, i might be like that's all right. they're five. so are all sugars created equal? how do you make the choices? some kids are not going to drink water and some kids are not going to drink milk and they have to drink something. >> for me we do things like fizzy water like selzer water and things like that. it's interesting to the children. it can have some flavoring and zero calories. my daughter is very health conscious and she likes organic foods and organic type drinks. i think it's fine to be fruit joyces but they need to have no added sugar and that's important to remember. jenna: when folks say it should be a treat, what are we talking about? once a month? once a week maybe? what is acceptable? >> you know, i think everything in moderation just like how much i know the staff there at fox
nbc/wall street journal poll. so in that respect, it could be an outlier. one of the reasons for that when we look at it, even though else is selzer is a great pollster, she's considered the gold standard of polling in iowa, one reason when you look at some of this, that 33% of the respondents were nonwhite. now, normally you usually see about 27 to 28% in a national sample. so you know that, could account for maybe six-point difference or so. it might be a four to six-point lead for the president. so it's probably not 13 points. it's probably something a bit smaller. but you know, still a good pollster, but it may be a slightly narrower margin. >> thank you, domenico for talking about this breaking news. greatly appreciate it. now to egypt where reports on the health of hosni mubarak are complicating a tense situation
