Deep dives
President Biden's poll numbers show a new low
According to a recent NBC News poll, President Biden's approval rating has hit a new low. The poll shows that former President Donald Trump would beat Biden in a head-to-head matchup. This is the first time Trump has polled higher than Biden in this poll.
The Israel-Hamas war negatively affects Biden's popularity
President Biden's handling of the Israel-Hamas war has received poor marks, particularly among younger voters. The poll shows that Democratic support for Biden's handling of the war is waning, with many feeling that he has aligned too closely with a right-wing Israeli government. Biden's popularity in foreign policy overall has also suffered.
Nikki Haley gains momentum in the Republican field
Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley is gaining momentum as a potential candidate in the Republican field for the 2024 election. While former President Trump remains the frontrunner, Haley's rise in popularity among Republicans could position her as a strong contender for second place.
Rise in anti-Semitism and hate speech
There has been a concerning rise in anti-Semitic and other hate speech online. The recent endorsement of an anti-Semitic post by Elon Musk on his platform, X, highlights the need for action against hate speech. The issue of hate speech on social media platforms has become a national security concern.
Following reports that Israeli and Hamas negotiators are closing in on a hostage release agreement, Dep. National Security Adv. Jon Finer discusses the potential for a U.S.-brokered deal. Steve Kornacki joins Kristen Welker at the big board with a new NBC News national poll. In exclusive interviews, GOP presidential candidate Chris Christie (R-N.J.) reacts to polling third in New Hampshire and Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) talks partisanship in Congress. Helene Cooper, fmr. Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R-Fla.), fmr. Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-Fla.) and Ryan Nobles join the Meet the Press roundtable.
