Biden Offers to Help Where Obama Isn’t Popular; Claims Public Agrees with Obama

BOLDUAN: "What do you say to fellow Senate Democrats who have made it pretty clear that they don't want the President anywhere near their state this election cycle -- and he jokingly kind of said, 'ok, I'll stay out of it.' What do you say to them?"
BIDEN: "Well, first of all that's not universally true. In the states we lost -- in the states where we lost the presidential race that may be the case. I know I've been invited to go into well over 128 races so far. And so there's some places the president is considerably more popular than I am, but there's some places where I can go in and the president can't. There's some places where it makes no sense for me to go in when the president can go in. So look, the reason why, Kate, I am truly optimistic about this year's race is, no matter what the polls say, one thing they say on every major issue, the public agrees between 51- and 70 percent with the position taken by the president of the United States and the Democratic party. You give me a chance to have all the issues my way or have popularity at the moment, I'll take the issues. That's what's going to win."
