Live on Bloomberg TV

00:00SELTZER: -- AFTER SELZER -- >> WE DO NOT ELECT PRESIDENTS BASED ON NATIONAL ELECTIONS ARE YOU FOR HIM TO END UP WITH ONE OUT OF FOUR PEOPLE SAYING THAT HE IS THE FIRST CHOICE, THAT IS MEANINGFUL. DAVID: DO WE HAVE US -- TO HAVE A SENSE OF WHAT IS ATTRACTIVE ABOUT VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN? >> IT COULD BE THAT HE IS THE ONE NOT RUNNING SO HE HAS NOT BEEN IN THE SPOTLIGHT AND ALL OF THAT. WHAT I THOUGHT WAS INTERESTING IS THAT THERE IS NOT THAT MUCH DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS IN THEIR WISH FOR HIM TO GET IN. BETWEEN 40% AND 50% SAYING THEY WISH HE WOULD RUN. THEY ARE SAYING YOU'D BE GOOD FOR THE RACE. REPUBLICANS MIGHT THINK HE COULD BEAT HILLARY CLINTON AND THINK SHE IS MORE FORMIDABLE. DEMOCRATS MIGHT THINK HE IS A GOOD GUY. DAVID: A CROWDED FIELD OF REPUBLICANS WITH 15. IT COULD BE A CROWDED FIELD OF DEMOCRATS WITH THREE. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE BASIS FOR THESE CANDIDATES, HILLARY CLINTON STILL POLLING WELL WITH WOMEN VOTERS. DR. SELZER: HER BASE WITH WOMEN IS ACTUALLY ERODING. ALMOST EQUAL -- ETHNIC SHE IS FIVE POINTS GREATER SUPPORT AMONG WOMEN THAN AMONG MEN. WHAT SHE USED HAVE IN TERMS OF A BIG GENDER GAP IS NOT THERE AMONG DEMOCRATS SO SHE MAY BE POLLING BETTER ON A GENERAL ELECTION BASIS WITH WOMEN. I THINK BIDEN IS ACROSS THE BOARD THE KIND OF GUY THAT DRAWS ACROSS THE BOARD. BERNIE SANDERS DOES BETTER WITH PEOPLE WHEN PEOPLE -- WHEN ASKED WHAT THEIR RELIGIOUS PREFERENCE IS AND THEY SAY NONE. HE MAY BE FINDING GEOGRAPHICAL POCKETS RATHER THAN HAVING THAT WIDESPREAD APPEAL. I THINK THAT IS WHAT JOE BIDEN MIGHT HAVE GOING FOR HIM. DAVID: SENATOR SANDERS, A LOT OF PEOPLE THOUGHT HE WAS THERE TO SHAKE THINGS UP. IS HIS SUPPORT GROWING? DR. SELZER: THIS POLL DOES NOT SUGGEST THAT THAT IS THE CASE. IN IOWA WE HAVE SEEN HIM CLOSE ON HILLARY CLINTON. WHERE IT MATTERS FOR HIM TO BE MAKING UP GROUND, HE IS. 35% DID NOT KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT HIM TO SAY HEATHER FEELINGS WERE NATIONALLY. HE'S NOT QUITE A NATIONAL FIGURE YET. DAVID: POPE FRANCIS WILL SOON ARRIVE AT THE WHITE HOUSE. PEOPLE ARE GATHERING OUTSIDE ON THE SOUTH LAWN. THIS IS BLOOMBERG SURVEILLANCE.
