against republican orthodox. is this validation that the president's message has cut through and it's become a really important issue? >> i'll tell you one of the reasons why the poll says it is. if you do the deep dive, 66% of the respondents in the poll were moderate to very labor rale. only 28% of those polled were in some sort of conservative category. you've got a majority liberal poll that is polling immigration, taxes and second amendment, that's a republican year. >> absolutely. >> would your prediction be that 2018 is going to be better for republicans? >> it's going to be race by race, region by region. nobody can take anything for granted. but that poll tends to say that trump's view and his agenda is the one that people are tuned in to. >> if you read the rest of the poll, it's exactly the opposite in that poll. that poll makes it very clear that as we're sitting here right now, it very much favors the democrats. i don't know if that will hold up but that is what that poll is about.
