here is a report from washington. >> reporter: in a word, president obama's new poll numbers could be described as dismal. the latest abc post poll finds 53% of americans disapprove of mr. obama's job performance. that is the worst of his presidency. 62% of americans think the president is doing a bad job managing the economy and a whopping 787% think the country is headed on the wrong track. key issue is jobs which is why this is such a pivotal week for the president. he is laying out a new strategy to create jobs and upping attacks on republicans. >> we're going to see if they will put country before party. >> the people that want to replace obama took place in a forum in north carolina. >> this current generation is stealing from generations yet unborn. >> i don't think have ever seen an administration gone further afield of the constitution. >> perry skipped the forum. he is dealing with wildfires in his state. the plain spoken record of the governor's talk on job but he is facing new scrutiny when he was democrat. he co-shared al gore's presidential campaign. >> i just don't unde

americans say the 9-11 attacks, the biggest event in their lifetime, that according to a brand-new fox news poll, and at the same time, many americans seem to be more pessimistic than ever about the future. according to a new rasmussen poll, just 16% say the united states is heading in the right direction, while 76% say the united states is on the wrong track. are the two connected or is 9-11 an excuse for the administration that lacks the confidence of the american people? fox news legal analyst peter johnson, jr. joins us. you're nodding as i'm saying

it turns out in the fox news poll, there's some very useful information that they should check before they, you know, make those plane reservations to new york. the fox news poll says the trump endorsement -- of the trump endorsement, 6% say they would be more likely to vote for a trump endorsed candidate. and 31% say that would make them less likely to vote for that candidate. so, it basically costs you 25% of the electorate if you go up there and beg donald for his attention. >> well, a couple things, lawrence. first of all, that 6% are all -- have all been on "the apprentice," so that's number one. number two, donald trump sort of stands in extreme form for a lot of the kind of rich guy republicans in and around the metropolitan new york area who are pining away for chris christie. chris christie made his bones as an anti-union guy in new jersey. which takes some guts in new jersey. and when christie went out to speak at the ronald reagan library, he talked eloquently in his speech about how reagan's great moment in speech is when he went against the air traffic controllers strike.

from the moment he entered the race, he has had the wind at his back and an abc news poll, a brand new one shows it. i want to bring in "good morning america" anchor george stephanopoulos. george? >> reporter: he's been in less than a month, diane, but this has been a month of perry surging right to the top of the republican field. look at these numbers right now. look at the numbers right now. he is ahead of mitt romney and ahead of michele bachmann who's really collapsed in the wake of the perry surge. her support has been cut in half. what's happened here is that rick perry has consolidated tea party and conservative support and that's really stopped bachmann in her tracks. >> and what does it shoho about up against obama, one-on-one? >> reporter: one-on-one, perry very competitive. he's getting the support of true believers. right now, republicans think that perry is best able to beat president obama. 30% believe perry can beat obama. only 20% say that for mitt romney. that is a huge shift. it was 32% to 6% back in july. now, when you put them up against president obama, both romne

new polls indicate what's really happening in the u.s. first of all, according to a "washington post"-abc news poll, president obama's support among african-americans is dropping dramatically. five months ago, 83% of blacks had a strongly favorable opinion of the president. that's down to 58% today. to be fair, 86% of black voters still view the president somewhat favorably. the problem for african-americans is the 16.7 unemployment rate compared to the overall number of 9.1%. again to be fair to mr. obama, black employment is not his fault. it's an educational thing that's been going on forever. among americans with college degrees, the unemployment rate is just 4.3%. that says it all. if you're educated, you'll find a job. if not, life is harder. now, there is little president obama can do about the public education system in america. the government's funding it a record levels. more than $10,000 for each pupil each year. but still the system, especially in poor precincts is on the decline. that's because the family unit is on the decli

we'll talk about the surprising results of a a new poll. ahead on "news nation." >>> rick perry is the new top gun in the republican race overtaking mitt romney in a new poll. will romney take perry on tonight? former congressman vin weber is a special advisor on economic policy to the romney campaign and joins me now. we heard mike allen say that rick perry was going to show up with his mitt kickers. is mitt romney going to hit back? >> first of all, i don't know for sure that either of those analysis are right. i'm not sure that either candidate is determined to punch the other one out. we lieblg to preview the debate that way and the viewers might think that's a lot of fun. i'm not sure that that's the right tone. governor romney outlined a 59-point economic program. he's going to walk want to talk about his economic program. he's going to want to talk about the economy. everything we see in this polling that shows that polling is volatile and the president's down and rick perry surges into the race, people are really reacting to extreme

the latest poll, i want to put it up, is not good news for michelle bachman at all. this is a usa today gallup. good poll. historically good poll, small sample, 439 republicans, republican leaners. romney, 7. ron paul, 13. and that's a very hard core vote, 13. but michelle bachman sliding all the way down to 5%. why do you think she slid? >> i think rick perry. the bottom line here is she's the best candidate in this field. i watched a lot of candidates over my 40 years in politics. she's an enormous candidate and very, very strong on the stump. she won the straw poll which no one expected her to do. she's a great retail politics. our game plan was always to win iowa. >> bill: then why, if she's so good and i agree with you, i've always said she waged very, very good campaign. her personally. then why did perry destroy her support? she's down more than 50%. >> it's not over yet. i think when you look at a national poll, it basically indicates people from all over the country. when you throw texas into a national poll, it's 10% of the population. so a guy that's from t

according to a new poll, only 55% of americans think president obama is intelligent. yeah. that may not sound impressive but it's up 55% over the last president, so -- this is interesting. a new study found a mother's diet effects her baby's allergies. which can only mean one thing -- my mom ate cats. this is not good. a truck in california carrying 35,000 pounds of beer overturned on the highway. instead of a roadside flashing delays ahead, it just said, dude, seriously love you, guys. you're my best friends. >> tonight jimmy welcomes will arnett, richard branson, and the band girls. that's "late night with jimmy fallon" weeknights at 12:35, 11:35 central time on your local nbc station. >>> it is time for your "first look" at entertainment news. madonna still hates hydrangeas, but at least she's showing a sense of humor about it now. after being caught at the venice film festival saying how much she loathed the flower, madonna released a youtube video including a heart-felt apology to one of the flowers and then threw it on the floor, stomped on it and reaffirmed her disli

and what the american people are clearly saying in our new nbc news poll debuting here tonight. >>> at risk. medical news just out. a new warning about pregnancy, miscarriages and some big-name pain relievers. >>> and look who's talking? here's all you need to know about the internet icon, the canine sensation, mishka. she talks and she talks to nbc news. >>> plus, it may soon be possible. imagine flying without taking your shoes off. "nightly news" begins now. captions paid for by nbc-universal television >>> good evening. we've got a big problem tonight in the state of texas. it has destroyed lives and property and has people on the run and it's large enough to be seen from space. problem is wildfires. 33 separate fires burning tonight, all fed by record drought. this fire outbreak has burned 118,000 acres, but look at this stat. so far this fire season, it has rampaged through a record 3.5 million acres of lone star state countryside. most immediately, loss of 1,000 homes and the fire-related deaths of four people. that's where we begin with jay gray. he's just outside austin, texas

he's sinking every time there is a new poll, he goes down further in job approval. goes down further in economic management. every poll shows that. so while maybe the fringe base, the loud base likes him, clearly the people who are independent and the center left democrats don't like him. and i think that he's going to get clobbered if he runs to the left. >> you've got me in the unnatural position of defending obama. i'm trying to understand his logic and his logic is that unless i get the base energized, we're now 14 months out, unless i get that, i have no chance. i expect that by the end of the campaign after the summer next year, with a few weeks left, he'll try a pivot to the center. but right now he wants to strengthen himself with the special interest groups, particularly the unions whom he's alienated and the left as a way to get some source of energy behind him. will it work? i don't know. i don't think so. but for obama, it is simply unnatural to pretend to be the kind of centrist that clinton was who won reelection. >> bill: that's what we said in the ta

and the latest fox news poll is 26% are going for perry. 18% for romney. all other candidates, including michelle bachman and ron paul come in at ten points or less in all the polls. let's bring in the best man to make accepts of the polling, karl rove who joins us from austin. everyone thought -- i shouldn't say everyone. i thought and some other people that this was going to be perry, bachman, and then the winner of that matchup was the person who ultimately took the fight to the more moderate, mitt romney. does this mean that michelle bachman with these polls, this early, this far out is kind of marginalized herself out of this race? >> she could be, but let's not call it over before it's over. we got a long way to go. sent, october, november, december, january and we start voting in february. but you're right. rick perry is now the front runner, as you said, he leads 26 over o romney's 18 and everybody else is in single digits. here is the cautionary note. let's remember that in 2008 at exactly this time, the front runner was rudy guiliani with 30. foll

michele bachmann's poll numbers are plunging in a fox news poll but bachmann says she is in this race the long run. take a listen. >> i'm the only woman to have ever won a straw poll, since then i went two weeks actively campaigning in south carolina, another four days in florida, i was in iowa meeting with businessmen and women this week, talking about their concerns. i'm actively campaigning. this is a mayor thought, not a sprint, and i'll very confident that we're doing all the right things to be the republican nom fee for 2012. >> anda tantoras and jim newgreen, president women's media center, they join me to talk about this. thank you for joining me on this laker day. >> happy labor day. >> so bachmann laboring away to get those votes needed. andrea, the first comment before we take a look at the latest poll numbers. on her statement, do you agree this is a marathon not a sprint? >> she's absolutely right, even a day in politics can seem like a lifetime, but she does have momentum. stkhe win the straw poll, and she's tied right now, real clear politics showed her tied with romney

polls. is he going to be able to recover? >> i doubt it. he's come up with this new gun ad.play golf. he shoots his gun instead. it's almost as if he is not the guy that met with the brothers and had all those billionaires and millionaires say, hey, if you'll be our boy, mr. perry, we'll stand behind you and give you millions of dollars. he's a fraud and he'll continue to fall in the polls. unfortunately the republicans will put him up there anyway. >> so you think he'll get the nomination? >> i think so. they can't help themselves. he represents what the new republican party is. >> what about the news today that chris christie -- george w. bush, nancy reagan, henry kissinger, what about all that? they want him to jump in. >> you hear fox carry the story. this is very interesting. fox carries the story that they think that chris christie is too heavy and too big to be president. what they're really doing is they're trying to can him right now -- they're trying to say -- it's code talk that he's too unhealthy to be the president. he's a 5'10", 320-pounder that might look like

tonight from new york, herman cain moving in the polls and he thinks the vast majority of black americans are brainwashed to vote for democrats? they're not brainwashed. they're voting for the party that stands up for them. i've got a lot to say about that. this is "the ed show." let's get to work. >>> many african-americans have been brainwashed into not being open minded, not even considering a conservative point of view. >> tonight, congresswoman maxine waters responds to herman cain's insult to african-american democrats. >>> rick perry is trying to stop his slide by squeezing off a few rounds. >>> and mitt romney is flip-flopping on his flip-flops. ring of fire radio host mike papantonio is here. >> 47% of all americans don't pay any taxes. >> 43% of households don't bay any federal tax. >> where does this end? >> david k johnston helps us expose the disgraceful right wing attack on low income americans. >>> and the real-life impact of the republican war on the post office. tonight, we'll talk to a small business owner who stands to have her business crushed if someone doesn't act. g

the president, and that is former new york mayor rudy giuliani who leads president obama by 7 percent. he's the only one who beats him in a head to head matchup in the poll. let's bring in tucker karlson, editor of the daily caller, also a fox news contributor, and alan coomes, host of the alan coomes show. gentlemen, good morning, welcome, good to have you. >> hello martha. martha: so what do you make of the numbers? tucker, let's start with you and we'll go to alan. it seems to show there's a lot of momentum against the president and in particular with independents which we'll show the folks in a second. >> well, if 49 percent of voters say they would definitely not vote for you, not just they don't prefer you but they have made up their minds to vote affirmtively against you, that is almost as bad as it could get. 50 percent would be worse! but it's -- it leaves a very small pool of getable voters. this is actually a disaster for the president. i think the rest of the numbers are interesting, they show a lot of fluffs on the republican side, governor palin's numbers are remarkable. this is a bit of an outlier poll but the fact that she leads obama on

alisyn: i want to show you munich more poll, the new marist poll, a question they asked was among independents and what it showed was major erosion among independents with 53 percent of them now saying they would definitely vote for someone else. they would not vote for president obama. can he win, monica, without those 53 percent of independents? >> he cannot. if those numbers stay the way they are, he's going to lose reelection next year. anything could happen, we're still over a year away from this election and now we're in politics -- and that's an eternity -- eternity in politics, the vast sea of independents, those are the folks he needs and if the economy doesn't turn around, as dan points out, then he is really sunk. with the personal popularity, which i think -- i agree with you, i think this is a perception that he is weak, that he is not a strong leader, and americans keep going over and over again, saying why do we keep hearing the same song and dance from this president? why is he banging the same drum again, whether it's spending, whether it's high taxes, you name it, when clearl

that new poll was taken in mid august, and of course i meant next weekend on the anniversary of 9/11 toy anew book on al qaeda with key levelation on the raid of osama bin laden's compound. joining us from washington is eric schmidt, a "new york times" reporter and co-author of counterstrike,en told story. good morning. >> good morning. >> do you fn the navy seals brought back information suggesting that an al qaeda planned attack may be imminent on the tenth anniversary of 9/11 next week? >> currently the information that the s.e.a.l. is did collect, there were clear indication that is osama bin laden was trying to organize some type of attack geared around the tenth anniversary coming up next weekend. it's unclear how far that plot ever really got along. senior intelligence and counterterrorism officials that i spoke to this week said they did not believe it was along very far, but clearly law enforcement, intelligence officials are gearing up their preparations just in case the anniversary this next weekend. >> eric, talk about the tangible intelligence, if you will, that was brou

to think about it. >> kelly: the reaction that we had here to that comment about polls, quite a bit of a chuckle in the newstand. great stuff. the polls notwithstanding, in all sincerity, sarah palin can do whatever she decides to do. right? if she wants to announce -- >> absolutely. she's got tremendous ability to capture the press' attention and the imagination of tea partiers and conservative republicans. were she to enter the race, we have a good idea to some of the things she has to think and say about other candidates. today she talked about the problems of a permanent professional political class. that was a not so veiled slam at rick perry, who has been in public office virtually since he got out of the military and started a family, he began his life in politics more than 30 years ago. she has talked critically about mitt romney's record on social issues as the governor of massachusetts. much more moderate on other issues. she's been critical of mitt romney's health care reform law in massachusetts that he signed as governor when he was the chief executive of the bay state. she has not really criti

poll. here's a new low. when it comes to job approval, the best number can you have, just 44% approve's how he's handling his job as president. 51%, now a majority, disapprove. also a personal low when it comes to his handling of the economy. no surprise. 59% disapprove. 54% think he's facing a long-term setback unlikely to get better. a number of pollsters say it's dangerous for him. like the number for president george w. bush after katrina. one positive note for the president, and i'm not sure i believe this one. 70% of the american people, seven in ten of us, say they still like him personally. to john heilemann who wrote "game change" starting with the obama situation. looks to me like president obama is in serious trouble of the american people beginning, if they haven't already to change their minds about him. >> well, yeah, chris, i think that's right and i think the fact is that president obama has been personally popular throughout the time that he's been in office, and as the economy has stayed ba
