point, there have been seemingly conflicting messages coming from it. the new polling show 42% of americans say they re not as well off as they were before biden was president. 16% say they are better off. unemployment is down, jobs are up. are you worried that the biden victory tone on those metrics will not address what you re seeing in those poll numbers? also the idea that people are worried about the price of eggs. it s no longer about gas prices, it s household goods. the fact that the dollar doesn t simply go as far as it used to. people feel that in weekly grocery shopping. that s going to be the challenge. what he s managed to bring with his tone and his personality that he s able to bring to the table and connect with the american public. it s not about the numbers, it s about the delivery at that point. and he has also tied that to the broader sense of stability.
democratic candidates who have made abortion rights a central issue in their campaigns but recent polling show as s aborti behind economy as the top factor for and this is key for likely voters. chris cillizza joins me now. he has a piece on cnn.com titled did democrat place a losing bet on abortion. what does the numbers show on this issue? let me give you two numbers. 214 million. that is how much money democrats are spent in october on ads featuring abortion. it is by far the most money they ve spent. it is about 45% of all of the ads they ve run. second number, 15%. in our cnn poll this week, the economic was the number one issue with 51% of the vote. abortion, 15%. second and way behind it. and think it is worth having the conversation that democrats in the summer and into the early fall really thought that aborg was going to be the issue that
people were supporting boris, meaning anyone were in the so called anyone but rishi camp. probably also thinking if i can get into the final two, maybe the members would vote for me. lots of polling show that penny mourdant was very popular, so from her point of view, she s still wanting to hold her cards close to her chest and see how far she gets. how far she gets. what s your assessment how far she gets. what s your assessment of how far she gets. what s your assessment of it, how far she gets. what s your assessment of it, tony, - how far she gets. what s your assessment of it, tony, in - how far she gets. what s your i assessment of it, tony, in terms how far she gets. what s your - assessment of it, tony, in terms of how many more penny mourdant is likely to get the threshold? i’m likely to get the threshold? i m uuite likely to get the threshold? i m quite cautious to make predictions because because they normally come out to be catastrophically wrong. catastrophi

benefits from this ruling today, and it is mark kelly, the democratic senator running for reelection. the latino vote, for me, somewhat of a frustration, so often we talk about the potential of the latino vote, as a sleeping giant, and i think that latinos are finally waking up and coming into their own, they are not homogeneous, that everybody votes the same way, and supports immigration, that everybody s on the same page when it comes to abortion and that everybody s conservative or a new york liberal, people need to understand that when they think of the latino vote. i want to talk about that, the polling show that democrats have strong support from latino voters losing ground, 56% said
