ed henry at the white house. outcome of a possible debt deal involves more than huge numbers. could be a game changer politically especially as the cam papes for next year's elections heat up. who will be the political winners and the political losers? here to break it down with us, john fund, the senior editor for "the american spectator." we heard ed talking about twitter specifically. the president lost 36,000 followers on twitter as a result of this. his overall numbers about a 40% approval rate. who really is going to win or lose in the battle. begin first with the house. >> whenever washington has a big fight both sides lose in the it short term. the presidents it numbers have gone down to 40% approval. the numbers for congressional republicans have gone down. people don't like conflict and they respond negatively to that. in addition, you are probably going to add on to this a compromise deal that is going to make both conservatives and liberals unhappy. i think dissatisfaction is going to go up all the wa

at the moment. >> finally. >> shepard: ed henry at the white house. as lawmakers continue to bicker or whatever they do the stock market continues to slide and so too does the value of 401(k) and other assets, the dow jones industrial average off for the fifth straight day off 62 today. the s&p down for the fourth straight day. the nasdaq posted a 1 point game. with us from fox business shibani. if -- what does this mean for us. >> it is something we need to care about. we have to say that the likelihood of this happening is very remote. because we can't rule it out, we have to talk about it credit sweeps one of the biggest banking giants on the globe predicts if we do see a default we will see a doomsday scenario where we see the stock market plunge more than 30% in a six month period. that means your pension, your retirement funds are also going to go down right along with it already seeing a lot of uneasiness in the stock market, shep, as you mentioned. the dow has fallen the last five days, down more than 480 points. >> shepard: of course, our sou

alternatives there are, if that's what it comes down to, laura. >> laura: alan, looking at the poll numbers, we talked to edry and james rosen about this earlier. the president, gallup has him at his lowest point 40% approval. and losing ground among generic matchup with generic republican candidate. this is not maybe helping the republicans this debate but also not helping the president. >> hurting the republicans more. of the problem the republicans have when they actually name a candidate that's when they are in trouble. the president will do well -- especially if he takes strong action and if he has continue to vehicle the 14th amendment, i think people will see this. most people want this involved. they want it done. they want a deal. and if the republicans are going to be seen as the ones this boehner bill it's a big waste of time. dead in the senate. never be signed by the president. true ofly an exercise in getting john boehner trying to keep his job. that's what it this saul about. >> laura: job boehner to keep his job. i think what we saw was an actually plan. not one plan but two plans arrived at

ed henry at the white house for us. mike emanuel on capitol hill. start with you because the white house has just released a statement on the passing of the debt ceiling increase in the house. what does it say? >> that's right, harris. it basically says what we have known for some time which they thought this was a pointless exercise because even though it's gotten through the house, it's very unlikely to get through the senate. the key is moving forward what the president wants. the press secretary says here basically, quote, he urges democrats and republicans in the senate to find common ground on a plan that can get support from both parties in the house. a plan the president can sign by tuesday. because that's a key point. once the senate passes something, presumably different from the boehner bill, that's got to go back to the house yet. there is lot more legislative maneuvering to go if you will. they are actually slightly autopsy mystic at the white house despite all the regular signs that have there have been moderate republicans in the senat

what happened when our new white house chief correspondent ed henry and jay carney at the wednesday briefing. >> okay, that's what speaker boehner. >> as chuck said yesterday, how have the senator introduce it as an actual bill, we're six days away. >> chuck-- i mean, ed, you know, the speaker walked away from this deal. >> yeah, but, a deal put it out there and let the american people-- i think i've answered the question. >> i know you're creating for fox-- >> that's not what i'm doing, you know better than that. >> well, is that welcome to the white house? i guess? >> i'm sure it's not welcome to jay carney, but it's good journalism, you don't let somebody give a pat answer to a real question, and if they won't answer, you go back and you ask it again, or a second time or a third time or a fourth time. >> most transparent white house in history, so they claim, has yet to produce a budget. >> the minute you make a dig like that, the minute you're not going to answer a kwechlt you stick to what the issue is and you know you're both playing equal, but the fact he has to make a dig at him as i

ed, thank you very much. this is a look aton the off chance we'll see lawmakers that may want to stop by, or the speaker. karl cameron has reaction. carl, there's been firm stances from some of the candidates out on the trail. >> yeah. if you got to give anybody bachmann. it's rare that candidates from the u.s. presidency from the house get a lot of attention. inlllly fact, there hasn't anye member elected as president since garfield. having that ed, michele bachmann has been very, very loud in raising the opposition to the debt ceiling, and been one of the tea party republicans, although not a freshman, that's been a pain in the neck for speaker boehner in resisting all of this, and aggressive in doing so. the rest of the presidential candidates have largely disagreed and opposed raising the deb debt limit, but not as d as about. mitt romney is actually promoting himself as someone who has the business savvy and know-how to right the country's economy, and put hi its fiscal budget in order. only jon huntsman has come out and

what i am looking at, ed, is a reality that the democrats appear to be incredibly energized for thesethe republicans, not so much. >> and there's some other news out of wisconsin, the state senate, john. republicans passed their redistricting plan. what do they have up their sleeve. what does this mean? >> well, this is ugly stuff, ed. look, they are rushing redistricting. they are violating the law. the law says that municipal pats, local communities redistrict first. they are pushing it at the state level at super charged rate for two reasons. number one, confuse the voters. redraw the lines so you don't know where things are. also, they're scared. they are trying to rush through a new set of lines before democrats retake the state senate. i don't think it will sit well with people in wisconsin. >> how much money flows in wisconsin between now and august 9th? >> serious analysts say when these elections are done, we finished the first tonight, something in the range of $20 million will be spent. we already have some races over in western wisconsin and in milwaukee area that are into

at the white house. we've done them with democrats and republicans. and i can tell you, edying the right things. they're talking about making america and made in america. but what we haven't got them to do yet is, you know, get beyond that photo op at the factory floor and really get down to it. they need to pass some legislation to lower our trade deficit. >> that is one of the things in the poll that i found interesting. the made in america, buy american is gaining strength. >> it is. in fact, it is surging. people thought made in america was great last year. they think it's incredible this year. it's like mom, apple pie and made in the usa. we saw a 44% increase, a 44 point increase in favorability on made in america folks who feel very strongly about it. so clearly, people are desperate for american made products for an american made manufacturing policy. >> how come it's not annish knew 2012? >> it's going to be. you saw mitt romney hitting president obama on china yesterday. mitt romney doesn't have much ground to stand on on china. but you'll see it become an issue,
