now, compare governor bashir's popularity to the fortunes of a fellow southern governor, bobby jindal. not only did jindal not set up a state insurance exchange and refused medicaid expansion, his state is actually suing moveon.org because it had thenerty to point out an buildboard that jindal is, in fact, blocking the medicaid expansion for 242,000 people. the state is claiming a violation of trademark rules, because the billboard cheekily uses louisiana's tourism logo. governor bobby jindal's approval rating stands at a very limp 40%. and in that very same state, louisiana, a state that president obama lost by 17 points, a state that is no friend to liberals, senator mary landrieu, thought to be one of the most threatened democratic incumbents of this election cycle, holds a commanding lead over her likely opponent, congressman bill cassidy. in fact, leads all her opponents' polling numbers combined. in an interview yesterday, landrieu said she would campaign aggressively against those who would repeal obamacare. i have to say, i am now increasingly convinced we have finally arrived

most voters approve of arkansas governor mike bebee and kentucky governor steve bashir.ut republican north carolina governor pat mccory and bobby jindal of louisiana who fought it are in much worst shapes. now these are all southern states, so what does this show us, susan? >> well, i think that people, you know, people have had problems with the law, either they have problems with it ideologically or the technological rollout wasn't very good, but i think a lot of people don't understand why their governors would just turn down free money from the feds to provide health care to poor people, which not only helps those people, but ends up helping everybody else, because they are not going to the emergency room and, you know, not paying bills and then the rest of us end up paying for it, so i think that is starting to come home to roost for a lot of these governors. i also think it makes a weaker argument in november in the senate races. i don't think it's a function of the health care law, i think it's a function of the seats up, the retirements and so forth, but i think

governor bashir, thanks for joining us tonight.i was so eager to talk to you today really because of that clip we showed at the beginning from jimmy kimmel's show. that's something that's really fascinated me as the debate over this progressed, when you describe the individual components of this law to people, you find the individual components by in large are very popular. when you call it the affordable care act, people are a lot more likely to say they support it than obamacare. now, you know, you have the example in your state where so many people are clearly benefiting from this. we just cited the statistics and yet you take a poll in your state and a plurality says let's get rid of obamacare. >> you know, steve, there's a lot in language, i guess, but what kentuckians did do on october 1st, they started finding out for themselves . there was this avalanche of misinformation put out by the opponents of the affordable care act. credit to kentuckians, they decided, hey, let's find out what this is all about, and look what's happ

they let martin bashir make those comments before they denounced him. they have a history of not condemning offensive behavior. why would they condemn this? >> the one thing i'll say is he's gotten away with a lot of stuff but not just because you have obama in the white house. when the republicans were in the white house, crown heights -- >> isn't it just the opposite? >> that guy has been in the white house more than the decorator. it's amazing. >> a lot more. >> all i'm saying is that a lot of al sharpton's history has gone back through administrations and he continues to get away with it. >> well, he intimidates everyone. there's always a threat of an action, a rally, and his rallies often turn ugly. you've got freddie's fashion mart. the guy that burned that place to the ground was one of the people at the sharpton protest and will killed seven people, including the guy who set the place on fire. nobody wants to deal with that presence in front of their business so they just give him money. >> you've got to ask, what do they see on msnbc management

governor bashir. the fact that the people have health care after all this time and mitch mcconnell did everything he could to stop them from getting health care. that's got to be a factor here. you are going to see this all over the country. you are seeing this all over the country. a poll, folks suggested on the offensive. proud we supported it, it is in fact providing people with health care. and nobody knows that better than the people of kentucky. this was a poor state. lot of people uninsured. lot of the people have insurance. not going to help mitch mcconnell. >> yeah, i think 40% of kentucky's uninsured population has now been insured through the exchanges. >> extraordinary. medicaid. >> patrick. want to go to you more on the question of, money and getting primary. because what mcconnell/grimes race would point to is fundamental problem in the republican party which is the far, far right-wing of the republican party. mitch mcconnell is burning through cash to defeat a primary challenge from mat

it's a compliment to governor bashir in the state when asked, the law isn't perfect and does need to be fixed. something democrats and republicans should put together and the affordable care act. there seems to be such a disconnect here. arguably it is working better in kentucky than any other state. this is a democratic president and democratic congress and the candidate for the senate by all indications doesn't want to talk about it. >> well, first, steve, the poll you cite was taken before the -- most of the publicity about the success of connect or kentucky obamacare. we haven't measured since the last surge in enrollments which is now approaching 400,000. so it's a little early to say there's a disconnect. and, of course, alison grimes didn't have to vote on obamacarobam obamacare. mary landrieu did. they have different approaches. the success of the law here will boost democratic chances, some s say. but that remains to be seen. i'm kind of doubtful about that. first, the people who got insurance under obamacare are a lower demographic, they're less likely to vote. second, peop
