heritage poll was a pseudo poll conducted by a conservative polling firm, a push poll with loaded questions in mostly republican districts in order to get the answer heritage wants. here's an example of the way they asked the question. check this out. this is how the heritage poll asked respondents if they'd support republicans shutting down the government to defund obama care. this is how they worded the question. in order to get president obama to agree to at least have a time-out on implementing the health care law and its full effects, would you approve or disapprove of a temporary slowdown in nonessential federal government operations which still left all essential government services running? slightly different from do you support government shutdown to defund obama care? the other aspect of this poll that heritage has been trying to sell is that this poll represents america as a whole. this isn't just a poll of the republican base. this is a representative of all americans. right? so they explain that they polled people in ten different congressional districts. and, okay, yes, six of

his poll numbers, according to the latest nbc news poll, down a little bit. heck, even matt damon's criticizing him overseas. what could be worse than that. what does the president need to do when he comes back to turn it around? >> well, you know, i don't think there's like a mammic bullet that makes everything in washington better, joe, to tell you the truth, and i don't think he thinks that either. i think he, at this point, is resigned to the fact it's going to be a bit of a slog. he's going to keep working on his major priorities and he's also, frankly, going to have an eye on 2014. >> boy, and gene, gene, could you follow up on what ed said too. no president, republican or democrat, liberal or conservative, ever has a day off? >> absolutely. >> yesterday, when thurston clarke came on said he was in the middle of all of these personal crises, when somebody came up and basically asked him to green light the assassination of dim and caroline was having a rough couple days and pulling at him and he goes, yeah, sure, basically. couple days later he says what

so far, that gender gap has not appeared in polls. >> as the polls move around, bill de blasio, christine quinn the top-tier candidates. we do have a phone line for new york city voters. bill de blasio is the public advocate. his ads include his children, including his teenage son. hundreds of thousands of new yorkers who have never experienced stop and frisk. some day, he will be stopped. parents all over the city are having that conversation with their kids. >> the only candidate to end the stop and frisk era that targets minorities. the only one. >> i wish everyone could see through the eyes of every parent. these are all our children. >> i want you to tell you a little bit -- i want to tell you a little bit about bill de blasio. the only one who will raise taxes on the rich. he has the boldest plan to develop urban housing. will be the mayor for every new yorker. i say that -- i would say that even if you were not my dad. at that ad, is that the sharpest attack aimed at michael bloomberg? >> absolutely.

these polls are stunning. record, 74%. three out of four voters tell fox news they think americans rely too much on the government and not enough on themselves. bill: stuart varney, host of "varney & company" fox business network. good morning to you. take inside the numbers and tell us what they say. >> look deeply inside the food stamp program. 53% of the respondents think government makes it too easy to get food stamps. 57% think people are taking advantage of the food stamp program. there is overwhelmingly negative view of this particular form of handout, welfare entitlement. bill: a lot of people think there is abuse in this. 14 million more americans since 2009. >> yep. bill: up more than a million in the last year alone? >> that is correct. and the government is still advertising to bring more people into the food stamp program. and by the way, bill, the cost of that program has gone up dramatically. 78 billion-dollars per year as of now. up 25 billion a year since 2009. bill: we found almost 3/4 of americans in the

so with this poll, we will be able to poll each individual member to have their individual voices heard on behalf of their constituency. >> so for people what want to get involved, because we know where the governor rick scott feels on this, what is your hope for other young people like yourself that want to look at this law and feel that it needs to be reviewed and for those seeking some type of resolution or solution to feel that their voices are heard what do you suggest? >> they have developed a website for that. we have www.dreamdefenders.org/have the debate. this has a way for floridaians to look up their local legislator, their senator and their representative. they will have the phone number and contact information for that representative. and it will also have talking points so they can lobby on behalf of their own communities and letting them know -- letting their legislators know they want the special session to happen. >> so we all know the t-shirt you're wearing i believe it says can we dream? we can see the can we at the top but can't see the dream part because the shot bu

the poll going on to get a goal completing the rout 4-0. the first game of the bundesliga for him was on friday and got off to a winning start with a home victory. they took the lead after just 12 minutes and the french got it for 1-0. they then doubled the lead a few minutes later. the croatian was on hand to convert that one. he had tkpweufpb the visitors open with a goal before the penalty was missed and another chance as you saw there. this time the australian international put the game to bed. 3-1 was the final score. in england manchester united took the community shield against second tier wigan sunda. they kicked off the era as he scots man takes up the rapes from sir alex ferguson. we move to tennis. rafael nadal beat raofrpb 6-2, 6-2. a confidence boost for the spaniard ahead of the u.s. open that starts later it month. this is his first tournament since that shocking opening round loss at wimbledon and looking close to his best after that win over novak djokovic beating raonic in just over an hour. this is his eighth a.t.p. title

they polled them individually and they polled them collectively.aditional way through the traditional pollsters they had and through their own calling as they were able to call thousands of people every night and build up huge samples so they could, in essence, try to look at specific segments of the population to see what ways they might tweak their strength with the groups to eke out more of an advantage. we are going to see a lot of that along with the analytics and modelling that the obama campaign was so skillful at. >> i want to open up to our panel here in new york. heather, you worked on a campaign. itis shocking and dramatic how quickly the process of campaigns changed between 2004, 2008 and 2012 and now 2016. the metrics we will use to measure voters likelihood of pulling the lever of their candidate of choice or the pollsters candidate of choice. are we capable of learning big lessons? i would really put it on the republicans given the fact they lost. do you think that there is even enough of a sort of open mind, i mean demographics, one

because there was a student, a college student who was a poll watcher at that polling station. and what did he do? he got out his -- i don't think he had a blackberry like i did, but he had a camera phone, and he got out, and he took video of it. we would never have known that happened if the republicans in philadelphia had not had a poll-watching program in place. the other thing candidates should do is before you run a campaign, before you start doing that, work on being sure that in your particular state and county they're putting in things like voter id and other things that will improve the integrity of the election. >> [inaudible] >> [inaudible] >> oh, yeah, in indiana. yeah, yeah, it was, like i said, it was also a college student there. and that's because, i'll until you, local authorities are not very good at finding voter fraud cases. and even when they do, often they don't want to president -- prosecute them. particularly local das, most of them are elected. right in they run in partisan elections. and no matter who they prosecute for voter fraud, they're going to up

the sinking poll is the least of this guy's problem. so clearly grow up. hold on. i should grow up. you're right. you're right. so clearly anthony weiner's campaign is in danger, not just that it's in carlos danger. ♪ danger >> john: and tragically this is just more bad news. for the guy who has a campaign that won't quit. >> this morning weiner's dealing with yet another blow to his struggling efforts. >> his top advisor announced he was throwing in the towel. >> john: actually i happen to have that towel right here. it must have been under weiner's bed. must have been under his bed. yes, do you like that? is that a mature enough joke for you? are you not entertained? why on earth would weiner's campaign manager resign? does it have anything to do with the fact that he spent the whole last week sucking on the everlasting stopper of embarrassing revelations. >> the new york daily news is now reporting when he was a congressman weiner, he paid a private investigator $45,000 in campaign cash to investigate the hacking of his twitter accou

it has never been, and look at the polls. you kand fican't find a poll wh people like it. >> congressman, we don't have much more time, but i want to ask your opinion if you think that the suicide and you don't think they will, but if the republican party succeeds in shutting down the government in the fall, will it have repercussion repercussions in 2014? >> yes, i have always been a proponent to shut down the government and you have an obligation to govern and when you have a majority, you have an obligation to get it done. we have a divide government as we do now, you have an obligation to try to reach across the aisle to work with the other side where you can. >> cooler heads, let them prevail. congressman tom cole from oklahoma's fourth district, and thank you for your time and good luck in the town halls. >>> coming up, he graduated from princeton and harvard law, and argued before the supreme court nine times and yet his senate colleagues have called him a schoolyard bully and a whacko bird. and now ted cruz is on the

partyent robert mugabe's has a huge lead in zimbabwe's parliamentary poll. the opposition threatens to take to the streets. a thriving black market in so-called abortion pills has health experts worried. >> tensions are running high in egypt's capital as supporters of mohamed morsi clash with police. tear gas was fired at loyalists, who rallied in front of a media complex in southern cairo. this is a scene where thousands of demonstrators have been camped out for weeks. defying the government's call to disburse. they say they will continue until morsi is reinstated. picking up, are thousands of people have been gathering and at least 15 cities across the country. human rights watch is warning that any attempts to clear the city could end in a bloodbath. >> the crowd may be smaller than -- but the resolve is just as strong. people telling us this is no longer about reinstating mohamed morsi, it is about protecting revolutionn -- the that began in january of 2011. that is what they believe is at stake. they're are also trying to protect the square. this area w

i ended up almost twenty percent in front in the opinion poll so i think polls change and usually the change in our favor what will change the polls well as people get more information about this about the concept of the opportunity of independents than the yes how do we know this because if you poll the people who say we have enough information and we already understand the issues then by majority these people are voting yes so as we get more information out to the public of scotland then the train will be there yes direction and would love to be twenty percent from here. probably would do i think we're going to win the referendum yes we will think so absolutely we're not talking about the positive sides in case scotland gets independence it would actually hold ninety five percent of you case current oil and gas reserves that is of course if that's divide it geometrically by marriage and from the british while the powers that be in london the old guard would ever allow that to happen but i believe that seriously contested the there's no choice basically because the rest of the north

why did you decide to do the poll at this time? >> this is an ongoing poll.een polling hundreds of thousands of people now for the better part of 18 months. we try to ask questions that are driven after the news. after the zimmerman trial an acquittal down in florida and the remarks by the president we thought it would be interesting to ask americans how much do they -- how many time do they spend and how close are they to people who don't look like them. these are types of questions we ask routinely to try and gauge the pulse of the american public. >> your poll raises a lot of questions. we appreciate your coming onto talk with us. in thank you. >>> some other stories. if you buy nail polish remover at cvs you'll have to show your id. the store is requiring customers to show identification when they purchase items with acetone. the concern is it's an ingredient used to make meth. cvs is restricting the amount a customer can buy. >>> now to a new test that can spot early on dementia for people 40. some of those many the study already had early stages of this

we found a poll -- a pew poll from march, and what is interesting about this poll, is just how unpopularis outside of syria. in fact the only people outside of syria, and the majority who support him are the shiite in lebanon. even in russia he is not popular. the numbers in russia are actually -- only a fairly small number of russians support him. only in the 30s, i believe. but it is one of the few things that the israels -- 27% support him in russia. so the level of popularity is absolutely minimal. >> that's true. >> so how do you survive? >> that's what is interesting? if there's so much unity against awe assad why don't they act in unison with the europe -- european union -- >> i think the arab union has called for him to step up. >> everybody has asked for him to step down, but the regime is very important so they can send arms to hezbollah. it's crucial. >> all right. we'll see what the next few days bring. we appreciate you both being here. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. >> a county clerk single handedly makes gay marriage legal in one area of new mexico. our producer is fi

take a look at this new gallup poll.y 35%, one in three say they approve the job the president is doing on the economy. that's down seven points since june. 62% disapprove. those numbers don't bode well for a white house girding for budget battles with republicans in congress come fall. we'll be right back. >>> welcome back to "hardball." a foreign policy disaster for the u.s. that's how nbc first read characterized the ongoing violence in egypt. with more than 600 people now dead after clashes between security forces and protesters supporting ousted president mohamed morsi, the egyptian military declared a state of emergency and imposed a nightly curfew. today, protesters burned government buildings and reuters reports several churches around the country have been attacked. in response to the violence this morning president obama announced we are canceling joint military exercises with the egyptians that were scheduled for next month. >> the united states strongly condemns the steps that have been taken by egypt's inter

in this new poll, it's 52%.y first time there's ever been a majority saying that racial discrimination in our country could end. why is that happening? >> because it's happening. (laughs) i mean, the truth of it is university of georgia elected a black student government president, as did university of alabama a few years ago. >> and mississippi. >> and mississippi state. to me the hope of dealing with racism is in the south because we've been struggling with it for several hundred years and we really are making progress. >> pelley: we have a photograph of a young julian bond and a young marian wright in the crowd. what's happening in that moment? >> we are singing. ♪ we shall overcome someday ♪ oh, deep in my heart i do believe we shall overcome someday ♪ >> "we shall overcome" had become the anthem of the civil rights movement. people are leaving, going home and we're standing there hand in hand singing "we shall overcome." >> pelley: and if you said to a young person "if you don't take anything else away from

couple of questions, chip, why is christie so strong, not only in that poll but a bunch of national pollsand secondly, has rubio been hurt that badly by his support for comprehensive immigration reform? >> i don't think there is any question it's been hurt. from iowa it south carolina and really all over the country. this is the issue that everybody -- they thought rubio would be in kind of new republican that would lead us to the white house in 2016. get up there and trying it start making deals, this is the problem we've all got. we've got to get something done. it hurts you in the national polls. >> what about chris christie? he is the hot hand at the national level. if you take it down to the microcosm in the primary states, not so much. he is doing well with independence and regular republicans but with the right hand of the party, he is not so popular. >> i want to ask you both about the news conference and his reaction from the threat of some republicans to shut down the government if obama care is not defunded. take a look. >> the idea that you would should down the government unl

the party plummeted in opinion polls. the pirates have become like germany's established political parties and that spelled trouble for fledgling political movements in the past. >> one small piece of business news. germany is experiencing an ice cream boom. one of the country's biggest producers is selling as much in one day as it normally does in a month. >> temperatures are at 36 celsius with another sweltering weekend on the way. anyway of cooling down is welcome. perhaps with the park which is a safe place to store your ice cream at minus three degrees. >> that is all from us. x keep watching >> keep watchin.

this is not a fox news poll. it's the president's approval rate on the economy is 35%. >> this president has ignored the reality that obama care is depressing the economy. he's ignored the fact that overregulation is costing jobs. he's ignored the fact that people are walking away from being part of the workforce. we have the lowest percentage of our workforce with jobs in decades. this president does not understand that one of his principle responsibilities is to do the things that really do create jobs. and i'm afraid he's going to continue to be indifferent to the economy. even though he said about a week ago he was pivoting back to the economy. we have a devastation of small business and in particular in my state, small business and the tourist industry are being devastated by obama care. all of a sudden, people are beginning to understand that when obama care causes a problem to a business, it causes a problem to their job. it causes a problem in terms of the amount of money that's available to pay wages. an

they are required to provide bilingual and had them at no polling places.said let's keep a galling referendum off the ballot & the large turn out of african/american and latinos can stimulate discrimination. ful once the latino population grew the county officials made sure they would not be on county commission. did costsa a lot of money and takes years thi don't have time and rey sources to stop the lawsuits. of the. >> states have rights to regulate elections. wil elections most laws are administratorrered across the nation. here in the united states, the problem is we want officials they do it to benefit themselves to stay in office. >> let's get a reaction from you. >> we don't need deviation the section five represented. if he is successful the department of justice might join against north carolina reform. if he doesn't prove racial discrimination, it is even stroker show that section 5 is no longer needed. >> what does it mean for people trying to go to the polls? ... s ... >> welcome back. you're watching inside story. martin luther king supporters

poll has booker with a 40-point lead. he's a fundraising juggernaut with already $8 million. more worried about what kind of senator he will be. some say he's more worried about ambitions and celebrity friendships than serving constituents. oprah winfrey held a fundraiser, eva longoria toured the state with him yesterday. >> i said, cory, do you want to be president of the united states? and he said, eva, i want to change the world, and i will do that from whatever position i hold. >> in an exclusive interview with nbc's casey hunt, booker says he plans to be a workhorse, no the a show horse in the senate. >> i'm not one of these fire brands that throws molotov cocktails at people and the like. if anything my record is finding unique ways to bring people together and disrupting broken systems, disrupting status quo. >> booker has also been dogged about questions about his finances. yesterday he defended his stake in a video company called way wire. he amend his filing last month to reflect a $1 million to $5 million interest in that company. >> i believed in the idea, it was

so i don't think science is open to polls.nk we got to stick to what independent groups -- not even regulatory groups, the american academy for the advancement of science, the german groups, the french groups, the brazilian groups, every major organization says we have evaluated this. there are hundreds of independent studies. it's safe, and they have all come out against labeling, because they know that labels will in some way scare people and -- and lead to the kind of disinformation campaigns. these people are perfectly willing to hype and scare people and create fear and a sense that the science is somehow undecided. if you don't believe in the national academy of sciences and the american medical association, and the world health organization, then you are anti-science. >> patty i have got to give you the last word. please go ahead. >> there's so much there. i'm not sure where to start. we are not anti-science. we think the science has been politicized in this case, and there are thousands of examples where that happens.

support here but when you look professional polls for example the polls are few kid businesses ninety percent of them continue supporting the membership the british chambre of commerce just recently released their annual survey that found that again it is overwhelmingly large firms that seem to ban if if from this globalization and trading with emerging markets but small and medium sized businesses still see the ear as their best oppurtunities for x. growth again it looks like on one hand you you may be the opponent of local is but on the other hand the policies that you favor seem to be. primarily benefiting big businesses and big government rather than you know this average joe. or so you've got to almost one hundred eighty degrees the wrong way round there is quite a lot of support for e.u. membership from the very large multinational corporations they invest a lot of time and a lot of money in lobbying to get the regulations that they like and very often those regulations are explicitly designed to put the smaller competitors out of business and thereby to give them a more monopol

this i would like to see a poll taken after the gas attack to have a fair comparison.s obviously the reason the president is giving for thinking about going. in but, you know, all this raises to me a very interesting possibility. if i were the russians and the iranians and the syrian government thinking about how to get out of this mess, i would propose some gesture. some peace conference. some offer of conciliation or talks or negotiated solution. i would just sort of throw that into the mix right now. because what better way to mobilize or give the people who are -- have second thoughts and misgivings about this something to hang on. and certainly it would give the president, you know, if he is looking for one, some sort of concession that he can point to, some way out to say he got some results without having to fire a shot. >> bret: here is senator ted cruz on hannity last night. well, no, he is not there but i will tell you what he said. u.s. national security interests is the touch stone that the president should be explaining and the united states armed forces d

thep on the big lead in polls. speculation,hs of the day seemed set. australians would go on the seventh. >> this with the people could decide who they trust best to navigate the way through. have their best shot at maintaining living standards and prosperity. his party offers hope, his opponents, he says: negativity. >> the people of australia began to be subjected to an absolute bar raj of negative political advertising. his advertising campaign will be massive, funded by the massive war chest that he has amassed. not least, the tobacco companies. the next month or so is going to be a rough one, i think. >> the opposition leaders said he was ready for the fight. >> right now what i want to do is directly address the people of australia about the choice that now faces our country. the choice is yours. it is not the choice of the caucus, it is not the choice of the cyclist, it is your choice minister andprime government have. the choice could not be clearer. the choice is between the positive plans of the coalition and more of the same under the austra

very early polls in new hampshire show troubling signs for marco rubio. for president be over even before it began? and when we come back here, we'll, of course, huddle around the cooler. stephen colbert hiked up about minimum wage. how the happy meal plays foo his line of thinking. mine was earned in djibouti, africa. 2004. vietnam in 1972. [ all ] fort benning, georgia in 1999.

. >> reporter: when voters go to the polls in 2016, they have to show a government issued id, unless opponents stop the law signed by the governor monday afternoon, a bill he announced with a youtube video. >> photo id has become part of our everyday life. you need photo id to board an airplane, to cash a check, or apply for most government benefits. in fact, just recently democrats and republicans joined together to require a valid government issued photo id to buy sudafed at your local corner drugstore. >> reporter: there were no reporters or cameras to record the governor signing the measures which he calls a common sense way to prevent rampant, undetected voter fraud. changes require voters to present photo ids at polls, shorten early voting to ten days, and end same day registration, requiring voters to register, update their address or make other changes at least 25 days ahead of any election. >> this bill is not about voter id, it is 57 pages of regress i have, unconstitutional acts to rig voting suppression. >> reporter: they filed lawsuits, calling the measure a disaster and

so you see, and that's a different poll, you got -- the unpopular ones.me b-6 here at the end. then all of a sudden paul ryan wins at 68.7, and then a whole bunch of other folks. and that goes to the polarization. republicans are like, no, chris christie is the most moderate. >> one thing did it to him. which a lot of conservatives -- when he went near obama after hurricane sandy, people said what is he doing? and that's what is going to come back to him. pictures on campaign ads against him in primaries. it will be flooded. now for clear minded people they would go that sounds like a normal person to me. but not for a certain segment of our voting population. >> that's interesting, because when you look back, mccain and romney were the last two winners of republican primaries and even bush -- and all three of them painted themselves as the more moderate candidates. >> no, mccain and romney both made themselves seem more conservative than they really were. they had to adjust for the complain. look at romney, there were pictures of him at a planned parenth

not only reflected in the polls, but clearly reflected in the vote.k we picked up 56, it was a historic republican sweep. and if the left is deathly afraid we're in a repeat here. because there is a narrative here. it's a meta-narrative. we have people who don't trust the government on nsa spying. we have people that don't trust the government with the irs declining conservative organizations. we have benghazi, which we don't hear enough about. and now we're going to have the irs implement obama care. it's not defunding obama care. obama care hasn't been funded. so the real question is will we vote to fund obama care or not, not defund. and it's certainly not the republicans who would shut the government down. it would be president clinton -- president obama. of course i don't think it would get to his desk. but by virtue of him not signing or vetoing the budget. that would shut the government down. >> let me show you something, congressman pittenger took a defiant approach to attendees who asked to vote to defund obama care even though he tried to ex
