71% of democrats call it a top issue. 37% of republicans is a sso. but as you know, president trump has been talking up immigration in the closing days here, and it is working in terms of rising as an important issue for republicans and their vote. it s the most important issue for republicans, 64% of them say so. 44% of democrats say so. and if you look at the easy of president trump, the third biggest issue that people say are out there and this is how it splits. 37 70% of people saying it s a trump election, that split was fascinating. and 39% approval in our latest poll among all adults. we ve seen other polls, 40%. he sing anning ohanging out in in approval. but donald trump has defied history before about this. as we look very closely at a president s approval rating and what that means for how his
so do voters act on the economy, which is a signature achievement for this economy, or do they act on his tone? and his tenor, and how he conducts himself in office? if you look at the numbers in the suburbs, where a lot of those competitive house districts are, it seems like especially college-educated women, younger people, if they vote, african-americans and latinos, if they defy midterm history and vote, they re voting as much on the president s tone. and if that happens, he s in trouble. you mentioned, you hit on the house and whether or not that how much, potentially, the republicans may lose by. but what about the senate? that to me seems like the real variable. and how many seats would democrats need to take it back? and let s do that in the context of what you just heard the president say. if the republicans add seats, mr. president, you get some credit for that. we will give you credit for that. we can criticize your tone, we can say you re race baiting, when you go out
scott mcclain. thank you, in nevada. think about it both ways. in minutes, president trump will headline the first of his three rallies on this election eve. he will start off in cleveland and late tonight in missouri. and in this final hours, he is sending a bit of a mixed message, because for months and months, you know, he s been saying to rallygoers, a vote for his candidate of choice is a vote for him. a vote for marcia is really a vote for me. a vote for morrissey is a vote for me. a vote for steve is a vote for me. a vote for david is a vote for me. and a vote for cindy is a vote for me. but, today, with he is ca casting doubt that tomorrow s vote is a referendum on him entirely. this is what he said in a conference call today. the election tomorrow is very vital, because it really is summing up what we ve dope, it s going to show confidence for what we ve done.
any moment now, president trump will be energizing those voters at one of three rallies set for today. the final push before what both parties call the most consequential midterm election ever. the latest early vote number seems to back up just how important tomorrow is, at least 31 million votes have already been cast, just smashing totals from the 2014 midterms. up for grabs tomorrow, the governorship in 36 states. 35 senate seats and all 435 house seats. and a new cnn poll shows that is where we could be seeing the biggs upheavals p. we ll get into that in a moment. just a short time ago, before leaving for ohio, the president spoke about how he is sensing these midterms could be different. there s a great electricity in the air, like we haven t seen, in my opinion, since the 16 election, so something s happening. we ll see, but i think we re
some of those red state democrats and they don t think they are. they think they re still in trouble? not necessarily that they re still in trouble, but they still have to see what miss ford says, what she says next week, how it s received. they don t believe that just this scuttlebutt this week takes them off the hook. i think a lot of progressive democrats obviously feel differently but those democrats that are on the griddle in those trump states don t feel like they have a free pass. let s talk about those in new york and l.a., it seems to me 5% of democratic women support this. there s a larger african-american vote for trump. i mean, 5%. what do you think of this? chris, if you look at republican women, they ve increased their support of kavanaugh from july, to august to where it currently stands now. so while you may democratic women, what have
