Diazbalart. Former white house political director under president george w. Bush, sara fagan. Amy walter and ron fornier of national journal. Welcome to sunday. Its meet the press. Well good sunday morning. Its been another big week in the president ial campaign with donald trump continuing to wreak havoc in the republican race. Well have plenty of that later in the program, including trumps strong numbers in our brandnew polls from iowa and New Hampshire. But were going to start by focusing on the battle for the democratic nomination and those new nbc news surveys out of iowa and New Hampshire. Theres some particularly troubling news for the Hillary Clinton campaign, confirming that there is a negative trend happening here. Her favorability numbers are dismal. Remember iowa and New Hampshire are actual swing states in a general election. In iowa 56 of all voters have an unfavorable view of the former secretary of state. Just 37 view her favorably. Its the same story in New Hampshire.
Democratic congressman Brendan Boyle is the son of an irishborn father. We spoke with him about his views on government, serving constituents, and winning a tough election. This is 25 minutes. Representative Brendan Boyle, pennsylvania, tell us one thing that has surprised you the most since you have been in washington. Mr. Boyle unfortunately, not much has surprised me. I was a state legislature dass legislator before coming here. Most of the things i was familiar with. It has pleasantly surprised me, contrary to everything in here generally, most members i have found get along hurting. I know i am going against the grain is saying that. But i have relationships on both sides of the aisle. Going to the membership gem, it helps not to be too partisan that there.
