financial literacy that other families. have we have to increase that so [inaudible] it s dire. tara, what s your reaction to republicans plans to cut social spending? i think that it s something that s been part of the republican platform for decades. fiscal responsibility was the hallmark of the republican party and i was there in the 90s when the republicans ran up the contract with america one of the tenants there was about welfare reform and trying to fix some of those unfunded mandates and the programs that didn t work. waste fraud and abuse, those types of things. and the democrats, to james, point democrats president clinton signed bipartisan legislation. that made a big difference. that would be great if more republican sounded like james robert jurors. i agree with him. social security has been a third rail in politics for so long because of the fact that
didn t look like a bunker. looked like a french country kitchen that his decorator put together. hope he s stockpiling low-carb pasta, because it could be a dark tomorrow. he s advising biden on extremism. quote, if you vote republican, your children will be arrested and killed. ha-ha-ha! that s his campaign slogan. it s not quite as reassuring as a chicken in every pot, or even hope and change. but at this point democrats are out of hope. above all, they fear change. they want things to s stay exacy the way they are. unfortunately blake masters may bring change to washington. we hope he does. he s running for senate for the state of arizona. we re honored to have him join us now. blake masters, thanks for coming on. you tend to say exactly what you think. maybe that s why they re so horrified. how do you assess an entire
of election cycles, they are paying attention. if you look at 2020 or 2016, donald trump made inroads with a number of hispanic communities in border congressional districts. that argument from obama pollsters circa 2012 about the coalition of the ascendants, that has fallen apart. republicans increasingly making arguments specifically to hispanic and latino communities that they are the best on the economic issue. and if we see the gop clean up in some of these races that i just mentioned, you know, blake masters or the texas congressional districts, at that point democrats will have to take notice and they will go back to the drawing board instead of just relying on these constituencies. neil: thanks, phil. phil wegmann from real clear politics. want to alert you here that a judge in ft. lauderdale florida has formally sentenced nikolas
midterm elections. the only two times in modern history that a white house party has actually picked up seats in midterm elections was bill clinton in 98, george w.h. bush in 92. their approval rates were well above 60%. biden in this range have typically lost seats. this is the generic ballot, which party would you like to see control congress. you see republicans in our poll with a two-point advantage on this question. statistically not much different than the 46-46 tie we found back in may. we ve seen this in a number of other polls recently, too. a tightening of that generic ballot. if you think back to the republican landslide year in the 2010 midterm elections when barack obama was president, by this point republicans were starting to run away with the generic ballot. we re not seeing that yet in the polling. although in 2014 another good midterm year for republicans, barack obama s second midterm. at this point democrats were
30% citing that. this does add up to a generic ballot here. other polls have showed it two or even closer and one thing i look at here is think of the last two mid-term elections that were really big mid-term elections for republicans, democratic president barack obama 2010, 2014, business mid-term elections for republicans. in 2010 at this same point on average, republicans were running six points ahead in the general eric ballot. generic ballot. they were on their way clearly in the polling at this point in 2010. they are not clearly on their way right now. what complicates this and gets to the complexity of the question you re asking is 2014, which ended up being a really good mid term year for republicans, at this point democrats led in the average by 1.5 points. it was democrats who were ahead
