NBC’s Meet the Press October 19, 2014
CHUCK TODD: And welcome back, the panel is still here. We’ve got our new NBC News/Wall Street Journal Annenberg weekly tracking survey, Andrea Mitchell. Generic ballot among the likely voters, the biggest lead we’ve reported yet for generically for the Republicans. In the Annenberg one, 49-44, this is the NBC/Wall Street Journal, earlier in the week among registered voters, it also had 45-43, but among the likely, it went up to five. Here’s what I can tell you. All Democrats agree, it was a bad week for them. The question is, is it holding?
ANDREA MITCHELL: It’s a bad week for Democrats. The White House has been under fire. At the same time, Neil Newhouse, our Republican former partner in polling has said that it’s the get out the vote effort, and that Democrats do a whole lot better at getting out the vote. And it’s going to come down to a ground game. I think that a ground game, I think that Texas Supreme Court decision on Saturday morning is going to be really telling, if there are more voter restrictions placed in some of those states, it’s going to be really hard for Democrats.
Restrictions? Voter ID is a restriction?
Question- why is procuring an ID any harder for democrats than for Republicans?
