Good morning from a very rainy washington. Its the last day of april, april 30, 2014. Im chuck todd. Im jet lagged but i dont know how. I dont know what day it is. Well have the latest on the flooding and the tornadoes in just a few minutes. Right now i want to get to my first read of the morning and its all about the new poll. Theres good news for the president , his poll numbers are better. The bad news, the numbers still arent good. His numbers are the highest in months, but that job rating is still just 44 , well under a number thats likely to make endangered democrats feel secure heading into the midterms. As one pollster puts it, its the difference between going from five rundowns to two. Worse, by the way, for democrats, just 29 of independents approve of the president s job performanc
Good morning. Im melissa harrisperry. Even after all the budget standoff and congressional obstruction in washington, there was one result we were certain election 2012 would bring, comprehensive Immigration Reform. The expeck taxs were so high it was all anyone could talk about. Especially the president ial candidates and their running mates. When it comes to immigration, politics have been put ahead of people for far too long. I will work with republicans and democrats to permanently fix our immigration system. The goal should not be to treat the symptoms of the broken immigration system, but to fix the broken immigration system, so that we have good, legal immigration. What ive said is we need to fix a broken immigration system. And ive done everything that i can on my own and sought cooperation from congress to make sure that we fix the system. They support it, the action taken by the president to lift the cloud of deportation off millions of kids who were brought here. As if theyr
More pain, no gain. Our new poll finds festering frustration over washington and the economy. The midterm vote will steer the final years of the obama white house, but it might not be a wave either way. Meantime as a ceasefire continues to hold, our new numbers also show what the country thinks about the month of fighting in the middle east. Plus this economic anxiety is leading to electoral anxiety for kansas governor Sam Brownback. Believe it or not, he barely pushed back 60 in a primary that wasnt supposed to be competitive. This morning well talk to his democratic opponent who is suddenly the favorite in november. Paul davis. Good morning, its a special edition of the daily rundown here on august 6th, 2014. America is still digging out from the Great Recession in a way that politicians are not understanding. Lets get right to my first read of the morning. Its a new nbc wall street journal poll. Welcome to the summer of our discontent. The country still has not mentally recovered fr
And even i dont know who it is. Let me get started with my first read of the day. Three of americas four corners are voting today. Florida, arizona, and vermont. Governors races are in the spotlight. One of them you know about because its in florida. President ial swing state with a pair of National Names squaring off. The other, you should know about. That one is in arizona, featuring a bunch of candidates you probably havent heard of yet. But its a state that could be a president ial swing state as early as 2016 and it could be an early indication of where the republican partys brand problem thanks to ideological driven primary also drag into november. And in both states well get an idea of whether democrats plans to coalesce the nonwhite vote rick scott, just too shady for the sunshine state. Slick politician. Lousy governor. In every job he has ever had, rick scott has docked the treat. Hypocrite Charlie Crist, he is everything you hate about politics. Those are the positive ads. N

Were ready for Election Night on tuesday after my key road trip across key battleground states. I want to get to a poll from three senate races. Right now they bring welcome news for republicans, particularly in states where they were playing some defense. In kentucky, Senate Republican leader Mitch Mcconnell has a ninepoint lead. Hes sitting at 50 . 41 there for alison grimes. Grimes of course the likely candida candidate. In georgia, republican candidate david perdue is clinging to a
