you as the user, you are the little guy. otherwise share their first-hand experience. >> there are a lot of regulatory items we have to address. clearly it's one of the reasons we want to be here on the hill. in admission is to bring that affordable access to the masses and also be able to provide services about safety, military, government usage and nongovernment usage to the benefit of the population a general. >> our hope would be that wireless can be treated

differently in terms of net neutrality. recognize that it is a serious resource. it is not exactly same as data floating over a fiber network. it needs careful consideration. >> monday night at 8:00 eastern on "the communicators" on c-span 2. >> coming up next on c-span prime minister's questions. then a look at the 2016 presidential election and the views of potential voters. that is followed by rick perry talking about ways to create better economic opportunities for minorities. this week in the british house of commons, prime minister david cameron talked about the rising death toll of british nationals killed in terror attacks. he took questions about the use of islamic state to describe extremist costs -- extremist groups, and reducing costs.

told me i've got to go, too. i will be going there pretty shortly. >> order. questions to the prime minister. angela crawley. >> the prime minister's plan for english -- question one. >> turn one. under the whole house will wish to join with me indeed the whole house in congratulating the football team on reaching some of finals of the world cup in canada and washington will for the match against japan this evening. mr. speaker, this morning i had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others, and in addition to my duties in this house, i shall have further such meetings later today. >> angela crawley. >> the prime minister's plans for english -- reduce my rate hundreds of others --

[shouting] >> order, order. the honorable lady must and will be heard. angela crawley. >> the prime minister splines for english -- to reduce my rates and rates of other scottish mps in the house of commons. but the real issue is my at the to protect the interests of my constituents. will the prime minister guarantee today under his plans a bill that has a direct or indirect fix on scotland's budget -- simek spearmon let me welcome the honorable lady to replace. what i would say is we will publish our proposals. parliament will have time to consider and vote on them but let me be very clear. we are not creating a system of two cheers for mps. all in these will still vote on all bills but what we're saying is laws which only applied in england should only pass if they

are supported by a majority of english mps. that seems to me -- were scottish mps can determine their own future on health, housing and increasing number of subjects fairness across our united kingdom. >> tran one. yesterday the national audit office called for the introduction of a fair school funding formula so that at the quote is related more closely the people's needs and less affected by where they lived. can be prime minister can from today from the dispatch box that the additional and very welcome 390 million pounds last year as a first step towards a more fair funding system will be incorporated into the baseline for future years of? >> i can say we will implement the pledges in our manifesto on this issue because we do need to

make funding more fair across the country. if you look at the figures today it is clearly unfair that a school in one part of the country can receive over 50% more funding than identical school in another part of the country. we've already made some progress on this but it want us to go further. >> harriet harman. >> could i join the prime minister in his congratulations to england's women football team? with only a fraction of the resources that men get. they are showing commend how it's done. sadly, mr. speaker, we now know that 22 british citizens have been confirmed dead into tunisia attack. our thoughts are with the bereaved and injured come and help day and the families will need. those life-changing injuries will need long-term practical and emotional support. the experience after 77 was that to really help those affected families, there needs to be

quarter nation across departments and agencies to will be established a dedicated task force reporting to a minister to support those who have suffered in this terrible attack? >> yes, i can give it the right honorable lady that assurance. let me update the house because i'm sad to say that the confirmed number of british citizens killed in this appalling attack is now 27. we do expect it to rise still further. today we are repatriating eight bodies from tunisia on an raf c-17 plane. it will land at the airport this afternoon for every family of a victim now has a dedicated liaison officer but i confirmed what she asked and i've asked of the cabinet sector for vice on creating a minister to me to ensure that work is coordinated right across government to provide all the support the victims of this attack deserts and also to make sure that as a nation we market can rate this event a properly.

>> i think that's a really important step that he is taking and we fully support it and think those are going to be working in that respect. reports unless they suggest it wasn't just a lone gunman but an organized cell. following the home secretaries -- and the deployment of 50 british police officers can me update us on the progress being made to identify the perpetrators and bring them to justice? >> on this specific issue there still a lot of work to be done to identify all of the circumstances this appalling attack in the support this gunman received. as we get information come from as we can confirm that information i will make sure the house is updated. in terms of the discussions between my right honorable friend the home secretary at the tunisia and i can confirm they wanted and were successful. this is looking at everything from the protective security in hotels and resorts all the way through to intelligence cooperation at the highest

levels between britain and tunisia so we can help with the capacity to combat appalling events like this. is going to get a lot of long-term work between our two countries but we have the french and germans and americans also willing to help also willing to and we need to coordinate between ourselves how best to support this country on its road to democracy. >> the prime minister has rightly said that this was an attack on our values and everything we stand for and there is radicalization in this country, too. last november the intelligence and security committee said that the present program had not been given sufficient priority and that counterradicalization programs are not working. today a new statutory duty to challenge radicalization comes into affect. wildebeest sufficient training and support for those covered by the duty? will he look again at the concern that the present program hasn't sufficiently focused on engaging with the community's?

>> the right of a lady raises the important issues and let me add to trek as again. personal incomes of prevent we have now put more money and resources into that program. her second point about the statutory duty on public sector bodies i think this is important because we are saying to schools and universities and local authorities and others to have a duty to do with radicalization and confront extremism because this is an effort that's not just for the police and security services or for the government come isn't covered for us all. in terms of her specific question which goes back to whether it was right to split the prevent work into work that is done to deal with extremism under the aegis of the home office and then programs to encourage integration which will be done by the department of communities of local government, i maintain that was the right decision. it followed a review in 2011 who found and i quote there have been cases where groups who we would now consider to support an

extremist ideology have received funding. it's important as we discussed in this house on monday that that doesn't happen. yes, we should work with communities groups but not those that encourage an extremist narrative. >> i think it's important the prime minister doesn't just defend the decisions he's made a continues to reflect on this and really try to make absolutely sure that he gets it right. if he does that come then we will strongly, strongly support him on that. with all party support the prime minister if i can turn to another issue, with all party support the prime minister commission the davis reporter look at the question of airport capacity. now that the commission has recommended a third runway at heathrow does he agree with us that subject to key environmental testing met, there should be no further delay and they should go ahead? is he going to take that forward now? >> first of all let us all think

davis and the team for the thorough piece of work they do and i think there's a lot of common ground across all sites of the house, or almost all sides of the house about is the need for additional airport capacity in the southeast of england, not least to making this country's competitiveness. it is important now there's a very detailed report that we study. i'm very clear about the legal position that if we see anything now before studying the report, actually you could endanger whatever decision is made. what they guarantee i can give is that a decision will be made by the end of the year. >> well, he says there's common ground and there is common ground across the house. the worry is the lack of common ground on his side. and he says he says there will be come he gives the impression there's going to be a proper process but there's something different coming out of number 10 because they're briefing is not going to happen. it looks like the prime minister

has been overruled by the member for oxbridge and he should tell them come he should tell them he's not the leader of the tory party yet. he should tell him that. so cannot ask the prime minister, we'll be stand up for britain's interests or will they just be bullied by boris? >> i would have thought with all the years i've experienced the right honorable lady would know not with everything that she rates in her morning newspapers. it would probably be good for her blood pressure is good for mine if you didn't, but let me give the mildest warnings of jumping to a conclusion before seeing the results. with a classic example of it last week when the shadow health secretary warned the government that the poverty figures would make us all hang our heads in shame. that was before the poverty figures were published showing the relative poverty was at its lowest level since the 1980s. [shouting]

>> he thinks it would be keen to get off the issue of airport but it seems like he's in a holding pattern above heathrow and that boris won't let him land. mr. speaker, our economic infrastructure is essential for future jobs for growth and our productivity. but this week we've seen the government pull the plug on electrification of the railways, and seriously undermined the renewable energy sector. and now they are backing off over airport. and risking losing the opportunity of britain being at the heart of the global economy. if he makes a swift decision on the davis report we will support him and will be a majority in the house. so will he put britain's national interest first? >> well first of all it's an interesting day when the leader of the conservative party wants to talk about child poverty in the lead of the opposition wants to talk about an airport report that none of us have yet had time to read.

[shouting] i seem to remember that the last leader of the labour party although we've been churning through a few recently added to a different position on airports than the one that she is now putting forward. what i can say is we will all read this report and a decision will be made by the end of the year. >> mr. speaker my constituents -- broadband health and education, agriculture and business. will they commit the government to do all they can with the resources to ensure that the hole is filled as quickly as possible? >> let me welcome my honorable friend to his seat. before community was a very successful district council in area unfamiliar with what he help to achieve a second lowest council tax in the country and i'm sure he will bring that sense of good housekeeping to

this place. he's absolutely right to raise the ship superfast broadband and how we fill in the last five and 10% of homes particularly in rural areas. we are providing action fun and look at all the different sorts of technology that can help to deliver this. >> i associate myself and the scottish national party with all the tribute and condolences to the families and friends everyone caught up in the tragedy in tunisia. mr. speaker, because of the way the united kingdom is structured decision on health, education and much english legislation has an effect on the scottish budget. will the prime minister confirmed he plans to exclude scottish mps from parts of the democratic process of westminster that will have an impact on scotland's? >> the point i would make to the honorable gentleman is mps from english mps are entirely excluded from any discussion of scottish health or scottish housing or of scottish education. what we are proposing is

actually a very measured and sensible step which says wind is a bill that only affects for instant england, the committee stage should be of english mps but then the whole house will vote at report stage and ended at third reading state. what this is going to introduce as it were is a system for making sure that the wishes of english mps cannot be overruled. that i think is only fair a system when the scottish parliament and the welsh part and to be the northern ireland parliament have increased powers powers. >> on overruling, very interesting, because on the scotland build it the eight of 15 and scottish mps have voted for the legislation to be strengthened and the event outvoted by english -- [shouting] not content -- elected on a

mandate to strengthen the scotland bill. now it's going to introduce second class status for mps elected from scotland on issues which can impact on the scottish -- even planned to make the membership of the scottish affairs select committee on minority pursued for a scottish mp. isn't this what the prime minister means when he says he will respect of the agenda of? >> i'll tell him what i mean every single thing portsmouth represent in terms of welfare has gone into the bill. and isn't it interesting that he objects to a vote in the uk parliament on a uk issue which is what has happened. let me say this again. instead of endlessly talking about the process, isn't it time the snp started to talk what are they going to use these powers? why don't you start your telescopes which benefits they want to put up bucks which attacks as they want to increase? why don't you start to tell us what this debate.

i know none of scotland's 59 mps are arguing that the state pension chevy cobalt. in other words the principle of sharing our resources across the united kingdom which i believe in is apparently shared i the scottish national party. >> thank you, mr. speaker. my constituents showed great courage in the massacre last week by helping save a life of an injured victim with first aid skills he learned in the army. can the prime minister secretary powell measures and extremism that will tackle extremists and stand up for our values for democracy, equality free speech and respect for minority's? >> first of all let me take the opportunity of praising her constituent and the skills we use on that dreadful day in tunisia. what our bill will do is reinforce the work we have done to increase funding into

counterterrorism and counterterrorism police income to make sure we have this duty on public authorities to combat radicalization but then they go after the speech of the fact that our groups and individuals who are very clever at endorsing extremism but stopping one step short of actually condoning terrorism. that's what these new banning orders we're looking at our aim to achieve your because we are clear to people that support the extremism narrative, they've got no place in our public debate. >> given regional wage -- many families in the north of ireland was identified with the concerned from the commissioners today on tax credits. further to heeding those warnings, with the prime minister have the chancellor take particular care to ensure that no supposedly more targeted changes to child benefit or tax credits would end up in

misdirected against natural, everyday, cross-border working families and my constituencies? >> first of all, let me say we talk about cross-border working families. it is still the case of welfare arrangements in the united kingdom are far more generous than what is available in the republic of ireland. but look our view is clear. the right answer is to create jobs, to cut taxes to raise living standards and to reduce welfare i want an economy that is high pay low taxes and low welfare instead of low pay, high taxes and high welfare. let me just share with the house when statistic which i think is important. under the last government, under the last labour government the number of working -- i know you want to talk about the last labour government. under the less the government come under the last government inequality fell. right. [shouting] right. now for the history lesson.

let's go back to the last labour government. under labour the number of working age people in in work poverty rates by around 20%. now that was at the same time that welfare spending on people in work with up from 6 billion pounds to 28 billion pounds. what this shows is the labour model of taking money off people in tax come recycling back in tax credits hasn't worked. it's time for a new approach of creating jobs, cutting taxes and having businesses that agree to the livelihoods that we need. >> thank you, mr. speaker. having led a campaign and offered a letter by -- signed over 100 members of parliament from across the house to the prime minister into the bbc not -- not to call the islamic state isil i said. the issue remains by calling

isil. candi prime minister lead the way by officially calling daesh as france turkey and other countries in the least of which is acceptable to muslims around the world's? >> i think he is spoken about this what has making a very strong point of document i would make is islamic state is inappropriate because of this is neither islamic in the true meaning of the word nor indeed is a state. it is a bunch of terrorist bugs. i'm happy for people to just daesh. i think isil as an alternative because it doesn't come confirm such authority and i'm pleased the bbc seems to move their position because yesterday they were calling islamic state and it looks like they will change their approach had a really welcome that. >> given the importance the final importance of parliament and members of all sides of the house and from all parts of united kingdom able to hold properly and effectively incumbent of the day can the prime minister confirm whether he intends to try to reduce the

size of the next house of commons to 600 members of? >> i'm committed to what is in the conservative manifesto which is to complete the work that should have been done in the last parliament so that we have equal sides constituencies with a small house of commons and cut the cost of politics. [shouting] >> doo doo ongoing issues around the post offices horizon software accounting system i believe many honest decent hard-working postmasters and post-mistresses have lost the reputations and livelihoods savings and in the worst cases their liberty. this is a national disgrace. will my right honorable friend consider the request from mbs across this house for an inquiry into this matter and bring it to a conclusion? >> my right honorable friend has been a real service and campaigning on this issue and i know he has led a debate as well. the post offices answers to say

they set up this independent inquiry which hasn't of evidence of wrongdoing that clearly this is not satisfied many members on all sides of the house who have seen individual constituency cases and want to find better answers. what i think needs to happen is for my right honorable friend at the business department will convene a meeting involving members of this house, the post office representatives of sub postmaster to discuss their concerns and see what should happen next. i would hope it would not be necessary to have a full independent inquiry to get to the bottom of this issue by get to the bottom of the issue we must. >> question five, closed question. >> number five mr. speaker. >> i reflect on prime minister's question with cabinet colleagues and others. for all its thoughts, and our many -- faults, i would say there are two important points. it was the prime minister on the spot to the public but it also i would say put the government on the spot to the prime minister as it is an important mechanism

of accountability needing to the issues right across every department before coming to the house at 12:00 on a wednesday. >> given that parliament may be moving out of this place in 2020 with the prime minister take this opportunity to share the joys of prime minister's question just just outlined and federal parliament by convening it in each of the nations of united kingdom and thereby symbolized this government and as part of its commitment to both the union and the devolution? >> as i've said in an earlier and i'm committed to try to cut the cost of politics and i'm not sure that would help her i think it is important that we take our politics and issues to all the different regions of the country that is something the government is very committed to do, not least with original economic plans for every region of our country.

as for the future of this house of commons and where we stand and when we debate, that is a matter for the house of commons but i have to say i have a slight emotional attachment to this place, this one specifically. [shouting] >> -- worn paperthin by this went on the palms of prime minister's and ministers come and is a visual example of parliament to accountability. while our constituents rightly feel that the time this session is a little absurd, does my right honorable friend agree that it would be a great beauty of senior members were not held to account in that way of? >> i agree with my honorable friend. i remember taking some constituents on a tour when it first became a member of parliament entering for the first on something i had to know which, of course, when this chamber was born, some of the most important speeches in parliamentary occasions winston churchill actually took place in the other place rather than

here. but if you want to start a complete fight between both houses i think i believe that at-bat. >> dutchmen leave it at that. [inaudible] his plans to exclude scottish mps from decisions that will directly and indirectly impact on scotland's budget and my constituents. will he finally tells his house and the people of scotland whether it is right to create a second class status for scottish mps, or is he content to press ahead with plans to bring about the breakup -- [shouting] >> i have to say i'm quite baffled about the whole point of the snp is they wanted to exclude themselves from the uk parliament for ever. i thought that was the whole point. action will be putting in place is a fair and balanced system that is fair to all parts of our united kingdom.

>> turn one. -- thank you, mr. speaker over the past five years increasing numbers of people in the east midlands and across the uk have been deciding to take the courageous and important step of setting up their own businesses and becoming self-employed. what steps will the prime minister and the government take in the future to further support these entrepreneurs in my constituency and beyond to represent and personify aspiration and hard work? >> first of all let me welcome my honorable friend to his place and agree with them that actually people taking a step to become self-employed, to start up their own business has been a very big part of the java enterprise revolution that has been seen in a crunch over the last five years. things like startup loans have made a difference and that's why we're increasing than in the parliament. i think it's important women look at helping self-employed people to look all the aspects of being self-employed, how you

interact with pensions and benefits and maternity leave and public authorities and rolls over and social housing. that's what i'm asking for found a fantastic cambridge statue company and among self-employed people can achieve great things to l for the government carried. >> thank you mr. speaker. given the prime minister's commitment, will he respect the decision made by the council this week rejecting fracking? >> these are decisions that must be made by local authorities in the proper way under the planning regimes that we had. personally, i hope that over time, there will be unconventional gas site that will go ahead. whether in lancashire or elsewhere. i want to see our country exploit all of the natural resources that we have. i have ordered to keep energy

bills down. i want to be part of the revolution that can create thousands of jobs and i want to make sure that where we can exploit our own desk reserves rather than ship gas from the other side of the world, which has a higher carbon footprint, we should do that as well. if the labour party once to paint itself into a background of not wanting any unconventional test at all, i think they should say so. >> thank you mr. speaker. we recently received a damning report for not doing enough to help struggling schools. can you tell us what the government intends to do to help systems that are systemically failing. >> i think you are absolutely right to raise this. frankly, one extra term in a failing school is too long for our children. in the past, governments have been too tolerant of allowing

schools to continue to fail year after year. this government has set very high standards. we are going to do similar things to schools that could be defined as ghosting, that could be defined as able to do better. you can see the model where an academy takes is over, changes the leadership, put into place necessary things and you can see radical increases in the results. that is what we want today. we are talking about how we tackle poverty in the long run. tackling education is vital to our children. >> mr. speaker after many opportunities he still has not answer the question. can the prime minister finally assure the people of my constituency that an elected mp

and moreover, [indiscernible] we are very grateful because we have the gist of it. >> the honorable gentleman has had a very clear answer. maybe the snp does not like the answer. the proposal that we discussed at great length in the last parliament to solve this issue will now be introduced. the key point i would make is that if in some future parliament, there is disagreement between english mps who want one thing, and house of commons as a whole that was another thing, there would have to be a way of resolving the deadlock. this is effectively a block for english mps. it is not the ability to legislate. he should know that. if he reads the manifesto. >> thank you mr. speaker.

does the prime minister feel comfortable that a conservative government has implemented us bending target on foreign income but we are not committed to 2% of gnp on defense? does he realize this is damaging the relationship with the united states and ruining our credibility with our native allies. >> i know my honorable friend cares deeply about this issue. and in his cuts -- constituency has some of the was important defensive industrial elements in our country. in the european union, many countries do not meet 1% of investing in defense. the commitment we have already make is to invest 160 billion pounds across 10 years into our equipment program with real increases every year. the aircraft carriers, the c-17's, the new planes, all will be coming forward.

we will honestly make final spending decisions and the spending review this autumn. >> for a man seemingly is never away from europe, why is it that he has never taken the opportunity, when he has been there, to put in a claim for state aid to save british miners jobs. during the campaign, he masqueraded as the workers champion. he does not have the guts to help those minors. [indiscernible] >> [shouting] >> it is very good to see the

labour party in full voice cheering on traffic part. -- jurassic park. there is a serious point here. this government has offered 20 million pounds to keep that cholerae going. we are prepared to put money forward and unlike the other government, we have been prepared to make ministerial direction because we have courage regarding the things. >> there is a very strong sentiment -- the commission that began three years ago. 20 million pounds backing up that conclusion. the prime minister is going to have to make a decision on the back of his recommendation shortly. what assurance can he give the millions of affected that he will engage in real arguments. >> let me pay tribute to the

honorable gentleman for how strongly he campaigns on this issue. i know how strongly he cares about this and how strongly his can the joints feel about it. the promise i can give him is that this thorough report that landed on my desk yesterday afternoon is going to get properly study. it really does matter. if you make a precipitous description or roll out one particular option, you make the decision that you would like to make impossible to achieve a cousin of judicial review. we may not like this in the south but those are the facts. >> the nhs mental health shop that serves my constituency is refusing to publish the alexander report. the report which i have seen raising serious questions about patients safety and care due to cuts. does the prime minister agree with me that the tebow -- that it should apply equally to nhs

management, will he join me. >> let me welcome the honorable gentlemen to this house. i make no apology for the rigorous inspection regime. i would argue the two things that we need is to uncover that practice and turn it around and then back that up with the resources that the nhs needs including those recommended by the stevens plan. as things stand, it is only this party that is backing the extra 8 million pounds for the nhs and not the party opposite. >> you're been watching prime minister's questions at the british house of commons. weston time is live wednesdays at 7:00 p.m. on c-span two. you can also watch anytime at c-span.org.

i will let the rest of our colleagues join us in progress. thank you for coming. i am david cook from the monitor. our guest this morning our stand greenberg and page carter. stan is chairman and ceo of greenberg and research. he founded the company in 1980 after teaching at yelp where he won a guggenheim scholarship. he has a bachelor's degree from miami university and a doctorate from harvard. he has been a polling adviser to president clinton, tony blair, and nelson mandela, just to drop a few names this morning. he is cofounder of democracy corporation. [laughter] page gardner is our guest from the past as well. she is founder and president of

the voter participation center formerly known as women's voice a woman's vote. the organization's goal is to increase the participation of unmarried women and other historically underrepresented groups in the electric. she has a high honors degree from do. so much for the biography. now for the process. -- now for the process portion of our program. we are on the record here. please, no live blogging or tweeting. to give us time to actually listen to what our guests say. there is no embargo on that when the session ends. we will e-mail several pictures of the session to all reporters here as soon as the breakfast and. if you like to answer -- if you'd like to ask a question, send me a nonthreatening signal.

we are going to start out by offering our guests the chance to offer some opening comments. since our guest are representing the results of a poll, the opening remarks will be somewhat longer than usual. thanks again for doing this. page: thank you for letting us share our research here. we are here to talk about, in part, the rising american electorate. millennials, people of color and unmarried, particularly unmarried women, and they will be central to 2016 and the election cycle upcoming. they are the majority of people who can vote. in the past, they have not been the majority of people who do vote. in 2016, for the first time, they will be the majority of people who can vote. the new american majority will set the new american agenda and this research points that out. in addition to the horse race in

terms of congressional candidates, we see three under lying races. women and family issues, and an overall agenda race. enthusiasm and one of the challenges presented to us as the rising american electorate looks to 2016, they are less enthusiastic. 48% scored 10 on a sliding scale of 1-10. very interested, versus those who score -- that is a challenge. the women's and issues agenda, this will be one way to make sure the rise of the american electorate becomes more enthusiastic. paid sick, equal pay, affordable childcare.

these kinds of issues begin to excite particularly unmarried women and get them more enthusiastic. finally, there is a broader agenda we will discuss today including things like college affordability, infrastructure, and jobs. this broader agenda combined with elements of reform one is government reform. is the government working for you? the other is money and politics reform. you have got two pieces of the reform agenda central to combining with an overall economic agenda. as we go into the race, we see the horse figures from the horse race, and we also seeing these underlying agenda items. stan: thank you very much. thank you to the monitor for the long tradition of inviting us to share in real time.

everything is published. you can have access to all questions, it is all part of it. one of the things page has been great about is believing transparency added to the credibility of it. a lot of polls where you struggle. this is not one of those polls. this is completed before last week. we assume the president's standing will rise. even in this poll, it rises. we are focused on the much bigger picture here. this is an electorate in which the republican brand has become

so toxic, led by the leaders of congress. you will see they hit their low -- low point. that combined with a cultural shift reflected in other polls in terms of the number of people who call themselves conservative in the country. it is producing an electorate courtesy big margins for democrats and bigger margins congressionally, bigger than we have had before and in some time. there is a huge enthusiasm gap in the poll. that is stunning in degree given what happened, even though we do not expect to happen what happened in 2014, there is no doubt republicans are engaged in fighting trends in the country that engage them, that is still evident in this poll.

you will see the results in here. when you do focus groups, from the political class come along with working-class voters generally, you will see the political class operating its own interests, dominated by money, gridlock, which we believe significantly contributes to the sense the country is on the wrong track, pessimism, that sets up, that tilts us back toward the republicans, despite being poor is -- poised against what we are talking about. the third poll confirming a trend we have just not taken

that is that the democrat progressives get hurt when reform of government and politics is central to the message. as you will see here, there is a significant shift in enthusiasm amongst unmarried women, white and unmarried women, that comes as a consequence of an agenda, a very broad agenda with activist government combined with going after money and politics and making government worth it for people who are struggling. we do not view it -- we do not believe progressives should be cautious in changing government. they will not win unless they voted for change. voting for change also means changing the way government operates. let me just highlight some of

that with a few graphs. i will not present all of these. you have the full set. if you go to graph seven, this is a line where we track the parties. at the bottom right, you can see the term for republicans in congress, it is the change that is the biggest in this poll. we look at the favorability thermometer ratings for barack obama, to hillary clinton, to the republican party, minus nine, to the republican congress, then you get to the leaders, john boehner and mitch mcconnell. who have staggering numbers in terms of how negative the perceptions are.

slide nine, you can see it is the second lowest point since we have pulled, the lowest point for mcconnell. they are clearly driving the republican brand. negative territory, which is setting up a strong vote congressionally. when you look at focused strips, you can see it is a combination of gridlock for the wealthy. this is a huge change in the

perception that the republican party is up for sale, that money is playing a huge part of that that permeates congress, both great rock and who therefore. the other thing going on is hold back from conservatives. you look at graph 11 and you see that red is the percentage who identify as conservative. it is now at 35% in our poll. liberals have moved up steadily even through 2014. you have seen a steady trend. after 2014, driven both by the presidential campaign and by congress. you can see our thermometer tracking for pro-life groups undocumented immigrants, all that we track, everyone of them is on a more level trend than they have seen in other polls. these choices are taking place in that context. this is obamacare before the supreme court decision. we have watched a slow the rise

in its standing. it is the first pull we have had in which the negatives and positives are almost equal after it has been sharply negative i a -- by a lot. whole range of things appear to be moving in a way that is creating a fairly positive environment. you then have an election in which 16 were hillary clinton lead is stable from our poll. impressive given you will see her personal ratings have gotten more negative but it has not translated into a vote. what defines her position is

overwhelming support amongst unmarried women and minority voters, secular voters. democratic voters are voting for her in big numbers. keep in mind, they will be 55% of the electorate in 2016. in a presidential electorate. if you include the people on top of that, you're talking about 63% of the electorate. when you talk about these kinds of numbers with groups forming a big majority of the electric, it is possible to win unless you have an enthusiasm problem that i will talk about. past that, you can look at the actual votes. the most important thing to look at is the challenge, which is the enthusiasm measure when you

are interested in what is happening. you see a huge gap from democrats and republicans. seniors are very high. two thirds, giving the highest ratings participation paired you go down to minority voters unmarried women, 46%, and millennial's a 35%. that base of the democratic party begins quite negatively. the issue is going to be how you get them engaged. you look at 25 and you can see some of the focused group results on how much politics have dominated by money, how distant it is for average people. i will let you read this quote.

there is a reason why, even though they're giving democrats big numbers, the lack of enthusiasm is grounded in an analysis the way the political system operates. you can look at whether the country is in the right direction or not, unmarried women are 55% the wrong track. a democratic president. voting in large numbers for democrats to succeed. nonetheless think the country is in trouble or unmarried women are 25% of the electorate and will be for sure. and they high proportion of democrats. them having those attitudes is quite critical. how do you change that is move the agenda. a combination of taking on the way politics happens and taking on the way government operates

and who the government works for. at the beginning of any subject, they think this is the money they believe politicians are lining their pockets. we tested and rotated whether

you began with reform first or the economic agenda. >> you are on page 33. you can see the huge report, and all these agenda items have gotten bigger and bigger. making sure working with them to get equal pay same as worth, and the company starts opening up opportunities to women of all levels. don't raise the retirement age seniors depend on checks to survive. each one of these are bigger. you can see in 34 that the ones who drive the vote and the agenda or favor democrats on the economy are dealing with work and family issues, dealing with pay. these policies are 10 points stronger than all republican -- there is a huge difference between the parties. and then on 38, you can see two pieces that open up the political process. transparency on money and limits on donations, empowering small

donations, what is interesting because people have always viewed these things as not things really people vote on, we put them into the lists on the other issues on the agenda, they are in the middle or the upper part attacking the way politics are done. the last thing on page 40 is the form of government. it is probably a little bit stronger than things that get subsidies for the rich out of what they're doing. they are strong for unmarried women. i will go to the end of the deck, 45. what you see, and again, here we are looking at your level of

enthusiasm. you see at the end of this, you push up -- a significant push up on the agenda and it is more for democrats than for republicans as the agenda moves toward greater enthusiasm. and it is greater for the women. let me stop there. i'm happy to go through any part of this. given the structural advantages, which seem to have grown, they will translate, but whether they are deep enough and broad enough, and also bring the congressional along, requires looking at this in a much more fundamental way then bringing the agendas that address reform

and policy. unmarried women and the unmarried electorate, enabling you to win at a big enough level to really affect. let me ask one or two dozen then we go around the table. given what you have just said, this might not the -- this would be a better climate for bernie sanders than for hillary clinton, right? [laughter] stan: no. >> why not? stan: she did make, before this, she did make one of her key pillars of her election dealing with campaign money and raise the issue of the constitutional amendment in the context o
