FOREIGN A NEW LOOK AT THE
MARQUETTE POLL.
CHARLES FRANKLIN JOINS US NOW
FOR RESULTS AND ANALYSIS.
SO NEWS OUT OF THE IMPEACHMENT
HEARINGS IN WASHINGTON IS
DIZZYING, BUT YOU ASKED ABOUT
THIS.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT HOW
WISCONSIN IS RESPONDING
ACCORDING TO YOUR POLLING.
46% OF THOSE SURVEYED SAYS THERE
IS ENOUGH CAUSE TO HOLD THE
HEARINGS.
49% SAYS THERE IS NOT ENOUGH
CAUSE.
5% SAYING THEY DON'T KNOW.
BUT THERE HAS BEEN A DEFINITE
UPTICK SINCE YOU POLLED ON THIS
IN APRIL.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
IN APRIL, WE WERE IN THE CONTEXT
OF THE END OF THE MUELLER REPORT
AND SUPPORT WAS 17 POINTS LOWER
FOR HOLDING HEARINGS THEN THAN
IT IS NOW.
SO THAT'S BEEN A BIG CHANGE.
AND THE CONTEXT OF WHAT THE
SUBJECT MATTER IS HAS SHIFTED
FROM THE MUELLER INVESTIGATION
TO THE UKRAINE SITUATION, THE
PHONE CALL AND SO ON.
AND THE KIND OF EVIDENCE THAT'S
ALREADY PUBLIC ON UKRAINE
INCLUDES THE WHITE HOUSE
TRANSCRIPT OF THE PHONE CALL
BETWEEN PRESIDENT TRUMP AND THE
PRESIDENT OF UKRAINE.
>> STILL ONLY 46% OF THOSE
SURVEYED SAYS THERE IS ENOUGH
CAUSE NOTWITHSTANDING TO WALL TO
WALL COVERAGE.
>> DEMOCRATS ARE POSITIVE ABOUT
HEARINGS, REPUBLICANS NOT SO
MUCH.
SO I THINK IT'S EARLY IN THE
PROCESS.
I THINK ONE POINT ABOUT THE
HEARINGS BEING BEHIND CLOSED
DOORS IS THAT WHILE WE HAVE
HEARD BITS AND PIECES FROM
OPENING STATEMENTS AND THINGS
LIKE THAT, THE PUBLIC REALLY HAS
NOT SEEN THE SORT OF PACKAGE OF
THOSE THINGS.
REPUBLICANS SAY THEY ARE
UNCONVINCING.
DEMOCRATS SAY THEY'RE UTTERLY
CONVINCING.
I THINK WE NEED TO SEE THAT LAID
OUT FOR THE PUBLIC TO SEE THE
EVIDENCE AND PRESUMABLY THAT'S
COMING FAIRLY SOON.
>> ON INTERNATIONAL FAIRS IT
DOES SEEM THE PRESIDENT IS
UPSIDE DOWN ON THIS MATTER.
ACCORDING TO YOUR POLL, 59%
DISAPPROVE OF PRESIDENT TRUMP'S
HANDLING OF FOREIGN POLICY,
WHILE 30% APPROVE.
IN YOUR MIND, DID THE
ADMINISTRATION'S PULL-OUT OF
TROOPS FROM NORTHEASTERN SYRIA
TIP THE SCALES ON THIS?
>> I THINK THAT'S PART OF THIS.
THIS IS ALSO WHERE THE UKRAINE
MATTER INCLUDES SOME FOREIGN
POLICY OF HOW ARE WE DEALING
WITH AN ALLY, AS WELL AS A THE
SYRIAN SITUATION OF HOW DO WE
NEED WITH THE KURDS, WHO HAVE
BEEN SUCH A STRONG ALLY IN THE
FIGHT AGAINST ISIS.
AND YOU'VE SEEN REPUBLICAN
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS PUSH BACK IN
THE SYRIAN SITUATION WITH THE
KURDS.
IT MEANS THERE'S A SET OF ISSUES
NOW WHICH THE PRESIDENT IS
UNIQUELY RESPONSIBLE FOR AND
ACTIVE IN EACH OF THESE
DECISIONS.
AND THAT'S QUITE DIFFERENT FROM
THINGS LIKE BUILDING THE BORDER
WALL TO THE EXTENT THAT THAT'S A
BIG POLICY DIFFERENCE, BUT IT'S
BEEN THERE FROM THE BEGINNING OF
HIS ADMINISTRATION.
THIS IS NEW MATERIAL.
>> ON THE HONESTY OF THE
PRESIDENT, YOUR POLLING SAYS
THAT 65% OF THE RESPONDENTS SAY
TRUMP IS SOMEONE THAT IS NOT
HONEST OR HONESTY DOES NOT
DESCRIBE HIM, WHILE 30% SAY IT
DOES DESCRIBE THEM.
IN JUNE THOSE NUMBERS WERE
BETTER.
WHAT'S HAPPENED?
>> THEY'RE A LITTLE BETTER.
HE'S MAYBE COME DOWN FIVE POINTS
OR FOUR POINTS ON THE HONESTY,
SO IT'S NOT A BIG CHANGE.
BUT MAYBE A LITTLE BIT LOWER.
BUT THAT'S AN EXAMPLE OF I THINK
-- PRESIDENT TRUMP'S HONESTY
RATINGS WERE PRETTY LOW, VERY
LOW, IN 2016 BEFORE THE ELECTION
AS WELL.
BUT THAT WAS A CASE WHERE
HILLARY CLINTON ACTUALLY GOT
LOWER RATINGS ON HONESTY THAN HE
DID.
THIS IS A PER EPTION IS OF THE
PRESIDENT -- PERCEPTION OF THE
PRESIDENT THAT'S BEEN BAKED IN
FROM THE BEGINNING AND YOU
EITHER LIKE HIM REGARDLESS OF
THAT OR YOU DISLIKE HIM BECAUSE
OF IT.
BUT IT HASN'T CHANGED.
AGAIN, THAT'S WHAT'S SO
DIFFERENT WITH UKRAINE AND
SYRIA.
THESE ARE NEW DEVELOPMENTS THAT
HE'S RESPONSIBLE FOR AS OPPOSED
TO THE KIND OF PERSON HE IS AND
PEOPLE HAVEN'T CHANGED THEIR
PERCEPTION ON THOSE GROUNDS.
>> LET'S TALK ABOUT THE
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES RUNNING
FOR PRESIDENT.
POLL LIKES BIDEN MORE.
THOSE THREE ARE AHEAD OF TRUMP
IN THE CASE OF SANDERS AND
WARREN.
WHERE DOES TRUMP STAND IN
COMPARISON TO THESE PEOPLE?
>> JOE BIDEN HAS A SIX-POINT
LEAD OVER TRUMP, BUT ALL ARE
INSIDE THE MARGIN OF ERROR.
FOR WARREN AND SANDERS, THEIR
NUMBERS MOVE JUST A LITTLE
BETWEEN THE AUGUST POLL AND NOW.
BIDEN IS NOW THREE POINTS FROM A
NINE-POINT LEAD IN AUGUST.
I WOULD STRESS THESE ARE SMALL
MOVES.
>> SUPER QUICKLY, YOU ADDED PETE
BUTTIGIEG.
WHY?
HE'S BEEN POLLING IN FOURTH
PLACE IN NATIONAL POLLS.
WE ASKED ABOUT KAMALA HARRIS,
BUT SHE HAS SLIPPED DOWN INTO
FIFTH PLACE IN NATIONAL.
SO WE TRIED HIM THIS TIME.
>> LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT GOVERNOR
EVERS'S POLLING.
JOB APPROVAL NUMBERS, 52%
APPROVE, 34% DISAPPROVE, 13% NO
OPINION.
HE CITES YOUR POLLING ON HIS
SPECIAL SESSION.
DO YOU THINK THAT'S GOING TO
HELP OR HURT HIM HERE?
>> I DON'T THINK THE POLLS HAVE
MUCH TO DO WITH HOW LEGISLATORS
REACT TO OUR PROPOSALS.
EVERS IS NET POPULAR.
HE WAS PLUS 20 IN AUGUST, UP
FROM PLUS TEN BEFORE THE BUDGET
IN THE SPRING.
BUT THINGS LIKE GUNS ARE A BIG
RANGE.
SO YOU GET A BIG MAJORITY THAT
THE GOVERNOR LIKES TO CITE FOR
BACKGROUND CHECKS AND RED FLAG
LAWS, OVER 80%.
AND OVER 70% OF REPUBLICANS
SUPPORT THOSE ON.
BUT THERE ARE MORE THAN
CONTROVERSIAL GUN PROPOSALS,
LIKE MANDATORY BUYBACKS OF
ASSAULT WEAPONS.
ONLY 13% OF REPUBLICANS SUPPORT,
70 SOMETHING OF DEMS DO, AND NET
MAJORITY OPPOSE THAT.
GUNS ARE NOT A SINGLE ISSUE AND
THEY DIVIDE THE PARTIES IN
DIFFERENT WAYS ON DIFFERENT
ASPECTS OF THE GUN ISSUE.
>> ALL
