when you see voters respond they don t know a lot in the race besides warren and sanders. we ll see. i think this third debate will be key when we see front-runners. here is tim ryan to reacting to not ending up on the stage this morning, watch. obviously you want on. we re doing it the old-fashioned way. i m on the ground, meeting people, going to churches, shaking hands. i have to say i ve been critical of dnc, last go-round, four debates, hidden, really difficult for other candidates outside hillary clinton and joe biden to break through. this time around, i think dnc has had a fair and open process. they are going to have 12 debates during the primary. it s really hard because there s 24 people in the race. that s really what s happening.
ahead of warren and senator bernie sanders. but it is 20 points less than his popularity in january 2018. that is before he got into the race. not surprising. as he goes from standing above the political fray to entering it. pollsters are warning the numbers might foreshadow a general election similar to the last go round. two mostly unpopular nominees duking it out. joel payne for hillary clinton s 2016 and ant ton, founder and ceo of blueprint strategy, a democratic strategist. so, gentlemen, if you re the biden campaign, you worry about those or brushing it off? i m not worried at all. we have to remember the one thing that the vp has been able to demonstrate, he has had the ability to take the heat and not miss a beat. and while these polls indicate one thing, particularly national polls, what i look at are the state polls.
break position with trump. he is surrounded by yes men and trump loyalists. you see what attorney general barr has done in that role. you guys stick around. we will come back to you in a few minutes. thank you much for that. after the break, one day now until the second democratic debate. it is sure to touch on race. one of the top contenders seemed to struggle with last go round. what does joe biden need to do now? that s next. at does joe biden no now? that s next. this is the story of john smith. not this john smith or this john smith. or any of the other hundreds of john smiths that are humana medicare advantage members. no, it s this john smith, who met with humana
warren and kamala harris and south bend, indiana mayor pete buttigieg. during the first debate biden received a lot of attention after busing by senator harris. and fox news asked biden if he s ready for round two. what did you mean when you said you re not going to be as polite in the next debate? we ll see. biden said the time limits candidates face on the stage make it difficult to explain their positions and neil, we ll watch closely to see what happens this week. neil: thank you, mark, very much. mark meredith in washington. with us, we ll see, we ve got fox nation s kat. and the pressure is on biden to be at least a little sharper than the last go round. it won t be hard for him to do. it won t be harder for him to be sharper. it was pretty bad.
last three years to get a grassroots movement to impeach the president, it impacts 2020 presidential candidates who have to decide if they are going to be for impeachment or not. because it determines where money and volunteers go. harris: david part 2, because there are two david s onset. i think the reality is they make this 2020 election about impeachment, that will make them lose. look at bill clinton if you thought impeaching bill clinton was the wrong thing to do, you should think that impeaching donald trump is the wrong thing to do. the reality is that it backfired on republicans to try to push that in the last go round. harris: but i have to do is talk to newt gingrich, who joins us on outnumbered in the center seat tomorrow, about the political lessons of what happens when you go after a president. democratic primary voters in iowa and new hampshire are no different than the ones in san francisco. over 50% of democrats want the president impeached. it is a major i
