. >>> my next guest predicted this senate setback teamed up with joel bennenson a poster for barack obama, together they did a research project that warned democrats they are misjudging which issues voters care most about, especially independent voters. just before the election, they found the issues that independents care most about, the economy, inflation, jobs, immigration, and border security, and covid-19, the pandemic recovery and they warned that the number of independents who said the country was headed in the wrong direction was 70%. what does this mean for democrats in next year's midterms, neil newhouse joins me now, the cofounder of the republican polling firm, republican opinion strategies. welcome back. james carville said certain among us, they need detox from wokeness, one narrative that's come out of virginia is that this was all explained as a rejection of wokeness. is it that simple? >> no, it's never that simple. this is -- it's a typical kind of midterm election where voters respond to the party in power. i think the message they sent. joe manchin was right about the

obama and i were like hiding out, cooked all this up and then got south africa -- it's nuts. >> nobody believes just one conspiracy theory. you got to collect them all. >> what's so damaging about this, too, beyond the multiple falsehoods in that one tweet is that he does have the title of doctor. doctors, nurses, medical professionals are broadly, widely regarded as they are trusted by the public. there's a reason why earlier this year or some time last year republicans -- the republican doctors caucus did kind of a psa add encouraging people to get vaccinated because the public trusts doctors. when you have that additional title on top of elected official, on much to politician, it's egregious for him to be spreading these conspiracy theories. >> beyond obviously the falsehoods in that tweet, what it seems he's trying to do here are sort of hone in on two things. one, you know, voter fraud which we know not to be true. in 2020. but what we're seeing from republicans as they think this motivates the base. we're seeing him sort of go after that. and then also there's clearly an exhaust

obama or donald trump. neither of them ever went below 20. biden is at 15. so, why? well, one reason many americans are unhappy with the president according to the poll is the economy. 58% don't believe that he is paying attention to the nation's most important problems, and the biggest of those? well, you know, it's the economy. that's according to more than a third of americans, and that is -- they say it's a bigger problem than any other single issue, including coronavirus, including immigration, economy. nothing else bigger. so, what is president biden doing about it? well, according to biden himself, one remedy is the bipartisan infrastructure bill that finally passed the house on friday after months of democratic infighting and negotiations. >> we did something that's long overdue, that long has been talked about in washington but never actually been done. there'll be jobs in every part of the country. >> yet, as of tonight, nearly three days after the house finally passed the bill, the president stil

there was a list of jews who worked for barack obama. this is an era of political violence so our leaders have to bring the temperature down. and i blame mr. trump first and now mr. mccarthy. they are not bringing the temperature down and condemning violence and they have to do that because people are getting hurt. >> really quick, let me just say, kinzinger also just voted in favor with cheney. so two republicans. >> that gets you to -- >> not surprised. >> a lot of these republicans ran for the hills when donald trump would tweet something offensive. and they didn't want to talk about it, much less censure him or say he was wrong or anything like that. so they're not going to censure gosar because there's another excuse. there's always another excuse. and i think that's what we're seeing and i agree with you because what's very sad about all of this is that this is what we're in for. you change political parties now. it's going to be an eye for an eye. and everything will become elevated to a degree that it really shouldn't be. maybe i
