46.4 to 46.4 when you average all of the polls together. again, it has been more than 20 years since a democrat was within single digits in a senate race in alabama. so this is one where, look, if you re a democrat, if you re ever going to win a senate election in alabama, it s got to be this one. if you re roy moore, you say, hopefully the storm has sort of passed and if this is the bottoming out point, maybe you can still get a victory from that one wildcard. we should tell you, there s a third candidate, a potential write-in candidate named lee busby who says he s a republican, seems like he s interested in getting republicans who don t want to vote for a democrat, may not be comfortable with moore, not a lot of indications he s going to get a lot of money or attention here but if he got 1 or 2%, you can see in a race like this, that could make a difference. remember, when we say this is a red state, this is what we mean. the last time a democrat won a senate race in alabama, 1992,
obamacare, securing the border. he made great strides with his appointment of neil gorsuch on the supreme court. this should be a wake-up call. i think they can take this opportunity to say let s focus on the issues that are important to the american people. but if you look at this, because the president tweeted today, he tweeted about this poll. he said the abc/ washington post poll even though almost 40% is not bad at this time was just about the most inaccurate poll around election time. okay. but as i mentioned, 36 pefrs an patriotic six months. i just saw john king do a fact check on this basically saying that the president was inaccurate and what he tweeted. so as far as the assertion that the poll was inaccurate around election time, the final estimate from the washington post /abc tracking poll was 47% for clinton, 43% for trump compared with a final of 48.5 for clinton and 46.4 for trump, given a 2.5 percentage point margin of error, it s definitely
just about the most inaccurate poll around election time. okay. but as i mentioned, 36% in approximately six months. i just saw john king do a fact check on this, right? basically saying that the president was inaccurate in what he tweeted. so as far as the assertion that the poll was inaccurate around election time, the final estimate from the washington post /abc tracking poll was 47% for clinton, 43% for trump compared with a final of 48.5 for clinton and 46.4 for trump, given a 2.5 percentage point margin of error, it s definitely not inaccurate. why is he still going there saying that this is not that this poll is inaccurate? karine? well, here s the thing. this is a president who lost the popular vote by 3 million, and he just became more unpopular as
46.4 for donald trump. a two point gap there, four point gap there. the poll point was off a bit but if you take the margin of error they had the vote total about right. the president s wrong yes, he won the electoral ledge and presidency but if you understand this poll, the president pointing that anderson, again wrong. thanks again. that s not great news of how people see the democrats. do you think the democratic party stands for something or stands against the president. 37% say it stands for something, 52% say it only stands against the president. back now with the panel. all the excitement of democrats that little poll numbers for the president. 52% say you don t stand for anything but president that s not good. no matter if you re a rené or democrat you have to stand for something. if you don t do that if you make
ross perot involved. clinton won. poll numbers started low. compared to clinton and ford, trump s in the ballpark. look at president nixon, president bush, ronald reagan. president obama. nearly six in ten approved of h them at this point. the other point made, the washington post abc news poll was so inaccurate around the election. look at the last abc news/ washington post tracking poll. 47-43. clinton. trump, 43%. last preelection poll. look what happened election day. 48.5, hillary clinton. 46.4 donald trump. off a little but if you think about the stickle margins of error in pollen, it s actually pretty close. so the president s attacking these poll numbers, however, they re bleak, and they re scientifically okay. and one number that was particularly, should be concerning to the white house is there s a 48% of voters
