>> julie: tonight the mission to honor their son's selfless commitment to our freedom. just 23 days remain until a mid term election, that could tip the balance of power in washington or as some political watchers have suggested, at least give republicans more control than congress. both the g.o.p. and democrats now stepping up their efforts to convince voters they must head to the polls or risk some serious consequences. today, vice-president obama and joe biden did that for the democrats. headlining a national committee rally in philadelphia. if evening, president obama calling the crowd and the work they started in back in 2008 is far from over. >> the only they think that the election did, was it gave us a chance to make change happen. it made each of you a shareholder in the mission of rebuilding our country and reclaiming our future. and philly, i'm back here two

years later because our job is not yet done as a success of our mission is at stake right now. >> the democrats hoping to close what some have called an enthusiasm gap, along voters and their parties. mike emanuel is travelling with the president, live in philadelphia tonight. mike, what about that enthusiasm gap? how does president obama handle that. >> reporter: well, essentially he called on the traditionally democratic audience, inner city philadelphia to be as fired up and enthusiastic as they were when they elected him president and shouldn't believe what they hear on television or what they hear in the newspapers, take a listen. >> well, philadelphia, i think the pundits are wrong, i think we are going to win, but you're going to prove them wrong. >> reporter: and the key is obviously, trying to get these people to go out to the polls and get them to encourage the neighbors to go to the polls and obviously, 23 days to go we expect to see the president on the road a good amount more

between now and then, julie. >> julie: today the president brought the vice-president along with him and what did he say about that? >> well, there was a lot of red meat for a democratic crowd here, essentially pointing the finger at the president and virs time president obama and vice-president biden appeared at a rally in the election cycle and designed to get people here fired up and trying to send a message across the country that there is some democratic enthusiasm despite what the polls say, julie. >> julie: what about the crowd there aside from the streaker that i understand made an appearance. >> reporter: and family show, we decided know the to show that guy. take my word for it, i saw him, it wasn't pretty. there was a city official here who estimated the crowd size at 18,50 ooh and a police officer said maximum 11,000 and somebody pointed out crowd size is an art not a science, but seemed to be enthusiastic,

it was a beautiful day here and the importance is whether democrats around the country get the message, julie. >> julie: mike emanuel, thank you very much. well, you just heard from the president, reminding voters their work is only getting started and now we're hearing from americans, and a new poll shows they have a lot more concerns with the government now than they did a decade ago. "the washington post" releasing a new poll, asking thousands of voters for their take on government. the bottom line, people have a more negative view on the economy now than they did ten years ago. and that shouldn't come as much of a surprise though, but many of them giving flunking grades to members of congress. with election day just weeks away, that doesn't bode well for democrats. here is house minority lead republican, with republican eric cantor on fox news sunday with bret baier. >> we've got a sense across the country with unemployment hovering around 10%, 86% of the country knowing someone who is out of a job. people want things to get

better. >> julie: but some of the poll findings are a bit contradictory suggesting it may not be all bad for the majority party. jennifer griffin is live with more. >> hi, julie, the american electorate is sending a mixed, often contradictory signal to washington right now. while voters say they're anti-washington they still seem to want the government to solve the current economic problems with large government programs, medicare and social security remains popular and almost 60% in this washington post poll say they want their representatives to fight for more government money to get jobs in their home districts. this is a turnabout from september 1994 when republicans rode the discontent to take control of congress and 53% of americans polled said they wanted their representative to battle against spending, but there is still no denying the discontent. 59% of americans say the country is seriously on the redwing track, up a dozen percentage points from the

summer of 2000. meanwhile, support for the tea party movement split with 21% supporting and 22% opposing. 49% neither support nor opposed the movement which now threatens to take from incumbent republicans and democrats. >> the republicans offer more failed policy of the past and strangle holds when it came to tax cutting policy and focus on the wealthy, a 5.6 trillion dollar surplus to 1.3 trillion dollar deficit and now they want the keys to the car back. compared to the 2008 presidential election, 29% of those polled said they were more interested in the upcoming elections than they were in the election two years ago, which means turnout could be high with voters feeling there is so much at stake. julie. >> jennifer griffin, thank you. i know you've been back to fox and i believe this is the fuhrs on ffirst on fox weekend

giannoulias charging kirk with false claims about military record and fiscal conservative. >> this is a fundamental policy difference between myself and congress militia kirk and he says you're a fiscal hawk and the congressman has told some whoppers. >> and that's ironic for my opponent to criticize my record on fiscal conservativism. in front of the chicago tribune, name one spending bill you would actually name to cut. and he couldn't name one and when the chicago tribune said when they endorsed me, it was painful to watch. >> when kirk accused the family bargaining for making loans to the mob, he said they didn't know the extent of the activity and called kirk's charge offensive and misleading. sitting side by side both senate hopefuls calmly accused each other with lying weeks before voters in illinois decide who to believe.

>> intriguing new report about american mortgages. up to four states now looking into the flawed mortgage mess that led several bank essentially to freeze foreclosures. evidence is now surfacing that mortgage lenders may have been using flawed court papers to evict home owners and the feds are looking into the mess with a potential hearing on the issue being talked about for november. adam shapiro from the fox business network is here. what about the foreclosure moratorium. we have been talking a lot about this weekend. what about those of us who are not in trouble? >> a lot of people are not in trouble. take a look at numbers. there are 52 million outstanding mortgages in the united states. roughly 2.3 million are in foreclosure. what you have is 49 million people who are not in foreclosure, the moratorium actually slows down the

process of selling your house, maybe even, you know, moving to a new city and the concern is that by not clearing out the inventory of foreclosed homes we're now going to delay everybody, the 42 million others and take a look at the other graphic i've prepared for you. 11.6 month supply of homes on the market and in august the national association of realtors, 34% of the homes we sold were distressed properties, foreclosure properties. and with the moratorium in place, those aren't sold. and the inventory is brought down because you have the distressed properties not being cleared and we need the properties to be cleared through the system so we can get on to the recovery and selling the homes. >> julie: so this basically slows down the economic recovery? >> it slows down the housing recovery. >> julie: the housing. >> very well could slow down the economic recovery. you could easily-- >> the two sort of go hand in hand and without consumer confidence and slowing down the housing market, obviously, our economic recovery is going

to be slower than expected. >> it creates a lot of trouble going forward. now, congress, members of congress calling for a nationwide moratorium and we are going to have a hearing in november, senator dodd is going to have a hearing on the issue. at the end of the day, none of this is about helping the 2.3 million people who are being foreclosed and they're going to wind up possibly more likely losing the homes, and it's a horrible situation to be in and what it's doing is slowing down, gumming up the works, they have to follow the law. >> right. >> and you have foreclosures taking place, with documentation that isn't accurate so the banks have to get that accurate because the problem there isn't necessarily for the person being foreclosed, if you buy the foreclosed property, but it was sold to you with faulty documentation, you're exposed later on down the road to who knows what if someone should come after you. >> we've got pretty good bad jobs numbers on friday and i guess the market is closed up. how in the world could that be? >> well, it's very simple. the bad economic news for wall

street means that the federal reserve at least they're betting the federal reserve is going to make money easy to obtain of the they're going to take steps, keep interest rates very low at the november meeting and may start doing it this term you're going to hear a lot of quantitative easing, a fancy phrase, the fed is going to start buying more-- 1.7 trillion worth of-- the end result of that, it devalues the dollar and makes money cheap and makes people want to invest in case they get a better return. wall street. >> adam shapiro from the fox business network, good to see you, thank you so much. don't miss a special series by the way coming up on the fox business network this week, it's called the burning your money and look at who is to really be blamed for the deficit, for the latest business updates you go to fox business.com. and more money concern for millions of people who rely on social security. the government expected to announce this week that more than 58 million social security recipients will not

they say with the help of the other dog ziggy, he's starting to act less like a soldier and more like a puppy. >> and we tackle each day and to us it's like jason died yesterday. to gunner, whatever happened to him it's probably like it happened yesterday. and we get up each day and we find a new way to get through the day, realizing that, jason's not here. and we have to pass that on to gunner. >> and this is a truly inspiring story, you know, when most pet owners talk about their vet it refers to the animal doctor, but the dunham's vet is a four-legged animal of war. >> julie: that's a cute story. thanks, peter. there's a new team in college football because of pretty good big losses. we'll break it down for you, still looking for the family pumpkin, well, how about this one? probably not going it fit on the front porch though, it will make a massive ja jack-o-lantern, can you guess
