| 0:00.0 | hosts in an instant now back to the mark simone show on w o r well you know you got all these uh public polls |
| 0:10.4 | all these junk polls these college polls media but forget all that here's the finest pollster in the |
| 0:16.5 | world in fact i'm looking at on the tv screen there Trump meeting Netanyahu. Two of his clients right there. |
| 0:22.2 | But he's the biggest, best pollster of all, John McLaughlin. |
| 0:26.1 | You can go to his website, McLaughlin Online.com. |
| 0:30.4 | He's with us right now. |
| 0:31.6 | John McLaughlin, how you doing? |
| 0:34.2 | Hello, Mark. |
| 0:34.9 | I saw you enjoyed being at the Rider Cup over the weekend. No, I hate the Rider Cup. You weren't on Long Island with that? Actually, I was in Long Island, but I was more at the Americana and the new R.H. store that opened there. I didn't get to the Rider Cup, though. Oh, so you missed out. You know, I thought you were Bruce Blakeman or something. Oh, actually, we were at the Americana. We were not at the Rider Cup. Oh, that's good. I saw him after the Ryder Cup. That's good. It was a successful event for Nassau County. No, it's a great thing. Bruce got, you know, he was saying that it's over $160 million in economic funds coming into the county, tourism funds coming into the county. So that's great. But President Trump was out there, so it was great. Yeah, and he got cheered and applauded like crazy. Hey, now, let me ask you, if Eric Adams drops out of the race, if you drop out of the race and you only got seven points, does that really make a difference? Does that mean anything? |
| 1:31.9 | Well, it might help, it might help Cuomo a little bit because they're more likely to be Democrats. But, you know, looking at these, there's a more fundamental problem. |
| 1:41.0 | Looking at the most recent polls in New York City, and I've been saying this for |
| 1:44.5 | months, is unless Mondami's unfaerables go over 50% towards 60, the Democrats aren't going to |
| 1:51.3 | leave them. And there was a Suffolk University poll that was done. And by the way, when you |
| 1:58.0 | talk about good polls versus bad polls you know they're |
| 2:01.4 | polling and they're asking likely voters these media polls now which is what we |
| 2:05.5 | do in our national polls because if you if you're not gonna vote why ball on us |
| 2:09.8 | but but if they're voting so Suffolk University had 500 likely voters and they |
| 2:15.4 | had Mondami plus 20 points favorable 53 to 33 nobody's laying a |
| 2:19.7 | glove on him and what was interesting in the internals of that poll you had a question do they think |
| 2:26.5 | he's an anti-semit and two-thirds of new york city likely voters said no they don't think he's an |
| 2:31.3 | anti-semit do you think he's going to raise taxes? |
| 2:34.4 | The majority of New York City voters said no. |
