you see ron desantis within the margin of error where he was in october. nikki haley, she is stable. this is an over 30 point advantage with trump getting a majority of the vote. i want to put this in historic context for you. just how large trump s lead is. folks polled h45% or greater. mondale in 84, bush 2000, gore 2000, historic 2016, and now we see trump at 2024. i would note in fact trump is the only one to actually be at greater than 50% of the vote. the rest were at 50% or lower. trump is the strongest frontrunner in iowa in polling history. history? history. which may give people a window into why nikki haley said this last night. i trust every single one of you. you know how to do this. you know iowa starts it. you know that you correct it. you know that you continue to go [ applause ] there were a lot of people
that he didn t mention by name but is he polling at 2%. steve: i don t think joe biden is the nominee, i don t think cory booker is probably going to be his vice president. cory booker also in iowa yesterday said every election since before carter never had anybody leading this far in the polls went onto the president of the united states. so, in other words, joe biden, according to cory booker s metric will not be president of the united states. he might be the safe choice but he is not going to win according to him. brian: joe concha weighed in the safe choice traditionally isn t really the choice. the safe choice never wins. let s just look back the last couple presidential elections, hillary clinton safe choice, 2016, lost. mitt romney safe choice, 2012, lost. john kerry in 04 lost. gore 2,000 lost. bob dole 1996 lost. all chosen by the establishment. all the safe choice and the best chance to beat the
the truth if that s a promise he can keep or whether it s his version of read my lips or i ll close gitmo. this evening with presidential politic, and a focus on key battleground states. president obama is in iowa tonight. six electoral votes but a hotly contested tossup state at a wind turbine plant in newton, iowa, the president said he understood times are tough but he argues the republican agenda isn t the answer. when you hear somebody say, we should cut more taxes, especially for the wealthiest americans, well, newton, you ve been there and you ve done that. we did that. 2000, 2001, 2003. when you hear people say that we should cut back more on the rules we put in place for banks and financial institutions to avoid another taxpayer bailout. well, we tried that. that s the president in iowa just moments ago. republican challenger mitt romney has his eyes today on pennsylvania s 20 electoral college votes, encountering some democratic protests as he made his case on
advisor to the gore 2000 campaign and the kerry/edwards campaign in 2004. he is now a professor at new york university. you say in this may be a week where the president earns his presidency. what do you mean? well, he has to earn it. he has to deal with the saudis, he has to help the japanese, and they did a brilliant job yesterday in terms of supporting the japanese so that the yen doesn t get out of control and the flows can continue, and then libya, you know, he took a lot of criticism for being too passive. and i think john kerry was right, john mccain from the beginning, we should have a no-fly zone. but what he s achieved is remarkable. the arab league has called for it, we got china and russia not to veto it. this is one of the first times the u.n. security council s ever worked the way franklin roosevelt thought it was supposed to work. and i think now we re going to see real burden sharing with the french and british carrying a lot of the weight here. jon: you don t think i
the uk and other european allies is really vital to the global effort. our thanks to the british ambassador who has been up all night following election results. this does remind us of bush/gore 2000 but the result will not be decided by a supreme court but by negotiations between your political parties to try to come up with a prime minister and prime minister gordon brown remains in power, badly politically damaged but remains in power until this is resolved. absolutely. we ve got a different system from yours. ours is a parliamentary system so you need a prime minister who can command the majority in the house of commons which is our house of representatives. that s why at the moment there is an effort going on by the leader of the conservative party who has the largest number of seats in our new parliament to work with others to see if he can form that majority and then put that proposal to the queen. thank you very much.
