blacks, hispanics and others than ever before. they are actually doing it. you often wonder if the women s march really did precipitate something, joe, because you remember at the time so many people mocked that as a one day hiscy fit. we are seeing this manifest in so many ways, not just women running for congress but also a flip if party i.d., potentially a new coalition forming. i have been going through the numbers, myself, here, not just in bam become but in virginia. what we are seeing is that flip in terms of republican party i.d. dropping. well, that is coming from college-educated white women. some of them who even voted for trump. what we are seeing here, for example, in. have a, in the suburbs of richmond, for the ft. since 1961 that area voting for a democratic governor. my district, where republican barbara com stock won by 13 points there. the democrat ralph northam
people to be voting on, party instead of person. which party do you want controlling the senate? you can see here it is a slight majority for the republicans, 51-43. in a state like alabama, traditionally that number would be much higher. still ahead for the republicans there. then the question of abortion. this is the other issue that moore s people want folks focusing on instead of the scandals. the question of abortion. you see alabama one of the most anti-abortion states in the country, not a surprise to see the majority here, 54%, saying that abortion should be illegal. jones, the democrat, he is running as a pro-choice democrat in one of the most anti-abortion states in the country. so again, this is one of those numbers that jones folks were thinking about during this campaign, chris. let me get back to my tut-tut there. do you think 8 points is slight? i really think that party i.d. thing seemed pretty significant, that number. well, sure. look, if you re looking in the abs

moore s campaign is pink hopes on. in an anti-abortion state, 54% saying abortion should be illegal. 40% saying it should be legal, an issue moore was hoping would benefit him. a bake question of which party do you want controlling the u.s. senate? democrats getting 43%, republicans on this question getting 51%, again that s when moore is hoping they will vote the party more than the person that was something he was happy to see i imagine. what did we get? we asked about not just that but aboutsome bake questions, liberal moderate, conservative. party i.d.. a 43r 37d 27 independent. the 30-47 seemed narrow to me a six-point for the republicans. i expected it to be single digits. that seems lower than i thought. maybe the numbers will change
dropped two points in their party i.d. and democrats gained four from the 2017 election. the result? a race that was supposed to be a nile biter turned into a row for the democrat. this happened in virginia, and it doesn t stay in virginia. an election for democrats next year could actually happen. when we come back, some new reporting on the president s unique tv-watching habits. announcer: coming up, pre-game and post-game brought to you by boeing. i saw the change in rich when we moved into the new house.
