favors. tucker: it s pretty sleazy. if you had to rate this in 30 seconds, the likelihood, where would you put it? in the last day or so, apparently the polls have opened up for him a little bit. so it seemed like it was close now, the experts are saying that his lead has widened. but there is a lot of problems with this guy and his opponent bob he again as putting money into ads focusing on menendez s corruption and dirty dealing. so i would say 50/40. tucker: that s amazing the state of new jersey. republicans are hoping to unseat incumbents in missouri and indiana. for the latest on those races, trace gallagher. the fact that president trump made his second visit to indiana in the week, it s a good
but it s not a blowout. it s a little closer for republicans. you see the numbers up there now. it s 49 to 43. july was 50/40. it s not really statistically significant. although, democrats would want to come into the midterm elections with double-digit leads on the generic ballot. but there were a couple other numbers that really struck me in this poll. not only is the president doing better among republicans, but the intensity, the support is as high as it s ever been. more people not only disapprove of the president than approve of him, but the intensity of disapproval has always outnumbered the intensity of approval. that s still the case, but for the first time, we re seeing those numbers really start to tick up among those people who say they support the president, approve of the job he s doing. 29% say they strongly approve of what he s doing. the independent number is the number that i spend a lot of time watching because independents in these last few
the polls in the race have been volatile. a new fox news poll is generating a lot of chatter tonight because it shows doug jones leading roy moore by ten points, 50/40. other recent polls have shown a much tighter race with roy moore ahead by a few points. the prospect of moore arriving in the senate has created something of a crisis of conscience for a lot of his fellow republicans, including the current senior senator from alabama, republican richard shelby. there is a time we call it a tipping point. and i think so many accusations, so many cuts, so many drip-drip-drip, when it got to the 14-year-old story, that was enough for me. i said, i can t vote for roy moore. the state of alabama deserves better. doesn t matter if you re the senior senator or a lifelong republican. notably, shelby was mocked at tonight s steve bannon event for
the question the nbc and wall street journal asked, could you support these candidates? rubio, bush 52% said they could support rubio if they were the nominee. ben carson and carly fiorina got in yesterday and they re lower down. we have a top tier you might draw the line at cruz. cruz paul walker bush rubio. this is a wide-open race. a new iowa poll out tomorrow anderson. interesting to see the state of play in the first caucus state. and how do they do against hillary clinton? i know in that same poll, it talks about that. well, she beats them all. she beats all the leading republicans. if you re a democrat you say, great, right? but these aren t blowouts. clinton versus jeb bush 49/43. clinton versus scott walker a bigger lead 50/40. here s the interesting one, rand paul runs closest among the leading republican candidates
which now dcutting into spring training and preseason. but i think all parties agree that for this to work, whether it be a 50/50 revenue sharing or 50/40 like now, the pie has to grow from 9 billion, again, we haven t seen the book, probably doing my moth to something like 10 billion or 10.5 billion for this to keep working, everyone feel comfortable with the agreement. chris, let me talk about another issue. statement lawmakers in south dakota have introduced legislation that would require all rez debsidents over the age1 to purchase a firearm. this is a stunt to protest the health insurance mandate. it helped me think of a small town in georgia that did this. kennesaw in 2008 passed this ordinance by unanimous decision. pete, we were talking about guns last week. what do you think about this? oh, this is obviously it s a stunt because they re trying to bring attention to the
