what gallup asked is, are you paying a lot of attention to this election and are you really motivated say yes to those questions than democrats. >> in fact, since -- hang on. let me pop the poll up on the screen. basically, this gallup poll from last week found that voters are less engaged in this year's midterm than 2010 and 2006. only 33% responding said that they were giving at least some thought to the upcoming midterms compared to 46%, again in 2010 and 42% in 2006 and it's even more troubling, david, for democrats. republicans held a 12 point advantage when those paying some attention were broken down by party. so take it away, david. >> so what that would suggest is that the republicans are -- they smell victory. and so they're more motivated to get out there and vote to be a part of a -- to be on the winning side. now that doesn't always translate until -- until they're actually going to the polls on november 4th and voting. you know, mitt romney knows that as well as anybody else. plenty of polls two years ago that made it look as though mitt romney might win the popular vote

his gallup polls fell faster than any other president in history overnight. >> gerald ford? >> yes, it fell from before until after the pardon. you have to remember that we have to re-create the mood of the country. the country had been through two years of hell. it'd been almost a year during which he had to watch every word he said, lest he inadvertently give the impression that he not follow the oaths of the oval office. >> did this testimony before the committee deflate the desire to go after neck the -- after nixon? >> there had been this long. of time where one after another after another where suddenly there was this breath of fresh air, and for a month or so, things seemed to be directly different. more open, more open, more trustworthy. and then to the surprise and shock of some people, there have been no preparation for this. on a sunday morning, americans wake up as either president on tv, pardoning his predecessor. it would have been a surprise if that had not been his reaction. the committee wanted credible assurances that there was in fact no deal. that overwhe

>> this man had already made history in many ways and made ways.y in more unwelcome his gallup poll rating fell more dramatically overnight than any other president in history. it went from 71% before the pardon to 49% right after the pardon. it isve to remember difficult 40 years later to re-create the mood of the country, which had been through two years of hell. ford had been through almost a year during which he had to t heh every word he said les inadvertently give the impression he was part of an effort to push nixon out of office. >> was their suspicion in the country there was some sort of deal between gerald ford and president nixon? did this testimony before the committee deflate that? >> that was the immediate reaction. no doubt about it. that was the immediate reaction on the part of some, not all. but again, you had been through this long period of time in which one incident after another inbined to undermine trust the executive branch of government. suddenly, there was this breath of fresh air in august of 1974. for a month or so, things seemed to be dramatically different. m

and according to the latest gallup daily tracking poll, they are not improving. lady michelle own trying to do what president can't, hitting campaign trail herself for senate democrats in colorado, iowa this week, scheduled to appear with mark uwill du-- udall who decided top his own fundraiser because he would have had to be seen with president obama. it may be too little to late for democrats, a poll reveals voters like 3 cast ballots favor a republican-led congress, those are long odds now against the democratic party, and its candidates. >> which brings up our quotation of the evening, i was thinking about an old practice line from my high school typing class. more than just a few years ago. i.i couldn't remember who the author of the line was, it was patrick henry, he said, true today as it was then. now, you may remember these words with me, is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country. the original may have said, party. but i prefer country in these difficult times, don't you? up next, bubba, the first lady, hillary clinton auto campaig

okay, a.b., you look at that gallup poll, what message does that send to you?t's not going to be like 2010 because all those seats are won by republicans there are not that many win again. if you look at the senate which is where they pick up the majority again. all year and particularly through the summer senate democrats represent states where mitt romney easily won in 2012 against president obama, those candidates held leads through the summer which was pretty significant. all of the durability of those leads is disappearing and the republican candidates, the challengers are now taking a good solid lead. that's a very bad i sign because what it says when president obama when those very red states points less pop laffer than he was when he was reelectside that democrats are not going to get vote. you see that in the polls, they're not motivated. they are all scared and anxious that vote is going to be depressed. charles. >> you can imagining if you are a democratic candidate running in a tight race and your one great theme is i'm not obama and trying to make

for many years now, the gallup poll has septemb-- broad range counseling and interventions and one of the opportunities we can address is that issue i mentioned earlier, patients not taking their medications as prescribed, if you go back to the statement i made earlier, that about half of all americans suffer from chronic disease, and most chronic diseases are dreeted with some type of drug therapy, and this is where the statistics start getting alarming, because one out of three patients who start a maintenance prescription will dpe side to discontinue medication before their first refill is even due. more than one-half of patients take their doses prescribed by their physicians and three out of four people will stop taking medication within the first year of beginning therapy for a newly diagnosed disease. i mentioned earlier, as mitch as 2,300 -- obviously, solving this medication adherence epidemic, it presents a huge opportunity to improve health and at the same time lower costs. we have a solution, we call it pharmacy advisor. and it's a portfolio of -- it connects patients with

look at recent "gallup poll," margin of 49-40, americans belief the republicans are better able to keep americans prosperous than democrats. that is one point better than in 2010, which of course was a tsunami in favor of the republicans. interestingly enough, also that same "gallup poll" found by 55-32 margin, americans felt the republicans were better able to deal with threats to protect the country against threats of terrorism and military threats which, obviously with isis, this issue has zoomed up the scale of importance this year in the elections. shannon: all right. part of the principles that are being offered talk about our country should value the traditions of family, life, religious liberty and hard work. that may not be the thing that drives the mtv generation out to the polls but you know, they're not usually showing up in these midterms anyway. sound like kind of language to traditional older voter that would very much ascribe to those particular values and value set. the ones who would get out and vote in an election like this one? >> i would be careful about that. what

i thought it was interesting, the president is in the same shape as he was in 2010, in a gallup. 22%the people said they want to send a message of sport to the president. this year -- 30% in 2010 said they wanted to send a message of opposition. 32% this year. >> why is hay hangen -- as we come down the final stages, three recent polls now have it as a 2 has one reelection. they're barely above -- here's how close it is. in the early voting, democrats lead by 548 early voters. and they won the senate racily 300,000 votes. >>> karl also gave us a list of republicans, because there are some republican seats which are in jeopardy. let's put those up on the screen. these are from most likely to least likely that republicans could lose -- kansas, georgia and kentucky. let's focus on kansas, where gorman has a small lead over incumbent pat roberts. they also have a debate this week. >> i've tried both parties and like kansasens i've been disappointed. >> he doesn't want to answer the tough questions. if he can't answer them here, how is he going to answer them in washington? >> joe, if we

gallup started keeping track. this law is working and it's leaving republicans with nothing to say. >> there's a reason fewer republicans, you hear them running around about obamacare, because while good, affordable health care might seem like a threat to the american people on fox news, it turns out it's working pretty well in the real world. >> the health care law is working. the economy is growing, and those are the facts for voters to think about when we head into the mid term elections. joining me now is former massachusetts congressman bonnie franks. mr. chairman, thank you for being here. >> thank you, al. >> how important is it that the president is addressing the gops misinformation about health care and the economy head on? >> well, it's important, first of all, because we have an election coming up. and in fact, our economy has been not only improving, but improving at a better rate than any comparable country. you know, there are realities that affect everybody and we're in an international world. when

in a few gallup poll only one in five thought they, themselves, might become infected. but you said, there is new concern about these thousands of soldiers we are sending to west africa. the pentagon says just over two dozen of the 4,000 soldiers headed to africa will have direct contact with blood samples being tested for ebola. >> there is their primary skill. this is not a, you know, medical guys trained to do this. this is what they do for a living. >> reporter: the cdc reports there is progress in africa. in some areas the outbreak is nearly contained. >> people learn about ebola. they learn the risks. they change their behaviors. >> infection control is still a problem. now there is word critical burial teams in sierra leone are on strike because they haven't been paid. >> maybe two, three in one grief. >> reporter: back here, thomas duncan is now on dialysis and a ventilator in dallas him by now the nearly 50 people who had contact with him could be getting sick testimony cdc says none have shown any symptoms. >> we should not panic and start running from africa.

according to gallup -- only 35% -- that's about a third say the two parties were adequately representing the public. that is the lowest percentage since 2008. what do you think of that? >> i think there's an absolute lack of trust among the american population. you see that in the rise of chris christie and hillary clinton is more aggressive. taking advantage of that. people have an appetite for change but there is real sense of disenfranchisement and disconnection from politics. >> talks on both houses on how the voters feel. >> you can't go wrong. >> there'll be a choice and vote for one of other. >> you can't go wrong with that. on both sides. question, on balance, who was projected for -- more believable the row si scenario or the down beat scenario of professor gordon? >> gordon and samuelson are on the mark. >> the realistic assessment and automatic a look at where we are, we're a heck of a lot better. hoot brought this economy back. >> i would disagree with it awe -- expectations that congress is going to do things which is -- they have to do that so i think it's very overly optim

the strongest response measured by gallup on this question in the last 16 years. it's higher than the percentage that wish to express their opposition to president bush in 2006 when republicans got killed in the midterms or even president clinton in 1998. chris stirewalt fox news digital editor. i'll never forget being on the set when the democrats won the house and the senate and they were jubilant with the arms up in the air. and yore telling me now gallup is telling us now that the electorate feels more strongly about sending a disapproving message to president obama than those voters did to p. george w. bush. >> oh, yeah. it's not a statistically difference, but the factor is enormous. it's the largest. i know you guys aren't totally bound -- >> i get it. >> exactly. i know you guys -- >> pretty laid back. but around here the freak out is on. and democrats really understand it. this is the point in the electoral cycle where the president is sharp diverging, the president saying don't worry my policies are on the ballot. make no mistake. >> why isn't is he sayi

ronald reagan in 1986, gallup poll approval rating was 86%, won reelection by a landslide and went tound 13 states around this time in october that year and yet the results was the republicans lost control of the senate, lost five seats in the house. if that's sort of the acid test of what a popular president can do, the les-popular presidents have a harder time. >> ifill: let's go back to more recently, george w. bush. did the same thing happen thoim? >> yes, his gallup poll approval rating was about 38%, not very different from president obama's, lost both houses of congress. there was great anger because the war in iraq was going very unwell. there were other reasons for dissatisfaction with george bush, and the voters tended to take it out on his party. >> gwen, i went back yesterday and looked through some old clips from 2006, and found a piece di, almost literally this week, eight years ago, about george w.s about spuive not being welcome on the campaign trail and the limited number of places he could go. >> and that could have been written yesterday about president obama. >> if

i think some of these recent polls, the fox poll, gallup, other polls have found that the president's approval rating is at an all-time low. and it has continued to drop amid problems he's had dealing with foreign policy crises, the ebola crisis in america, immigration reform controversies. all these things have caused voters to have less faith in the job that the president is doing. and it's really coming at just a very important time for how voters decide who they're going to pick in november. the election is a week from tuesday. so oftentimes when you look at polling throughout the year, you see lots of undecideds. that number is getting smaller and smaller. people are making up their minds and making up their minds in favor of the gop because of the president's approval ratings, particularly in the key swing states where he is very unpopular. >> with that in mind, give us the tick tock on colorado, let's say? >> that's an interesting case. mark udall was a safe democrat for the most part. then as the president's approval rating started to drop, udall's numbers started to drop also

reason they are doing that, if everybody votes like they did in 2012 against president obama -- >> gallup did some interesting time sentiments about obama and the impact on the midterm. what they found is that the negative associations with obama sort of drive behavior much more than the positive associations and they look at obama's numbers the second time around and they are really compare rabl. >> the second time for bush was in 2006, which was the huge sweep year. the president doesn't hide it. listen to him hearsay, republicans have stopped bad-mouthing him on economic issues, to a degree, and the president wishes democrats would say this. >> there's a reason fewer republicans are preaching doom on the deficits. it's because the deficits have come down at almost a record's pace and they are now manageable. there's a reason that you see few republicans run around and talk about obamacare because while good, affordable health care might seem like a threat to the freedom of the american people on fox news, it turns out it's working pretty well in the real world. >> that's what he wishes

. >>> a gallup poll out this week shows most teachers in schools where the common core standards are already being taught have come to like them. and while most states agree to them, there have been a lot of protests against them among those who see it as a giant federal government overreach in the effort to build better students. but far from all that in the evening hours right about now in fact at kitchen tables across this country there's a different complaint from parents about the homework their kids bring home. our report tonight from our chief education correspondent rehema ellis. >> reporter: sue has been introducing math to students for 14 years. >> we do counting. >> subtraction and addition. >> one, two, three, four, five. >> reporter: but now the first grade teacher has a new lesson plan following the new common core standards. >> teaching is different, but it is still good basic teaching. >> reporter: what is two plus three? >> easy, five. >> reporter: but for some common core is creating common confusion. take 34 minus 9. many would say that's relatively simple, carry t

that from a recent gallup pole. yesterday at the daily news briefing, josh earnest was pressed by abc white house correspondent about the role president obama is playing take a look. [video clip] any examination of the present schedule over the next eight days in advance of the midterm election would indicate a serious effort by the president to support democratic candidates on the ballot >> are in how many democratic senate candidates as he campaigned with? >> there are a number of democratic senators with whom he has appeared. he's looking for to an event with mr. peterson on saturday in michigan, i know he traveled with senator franken where they are expecting issues important with middle-class voters in minnesota, i don't think there are campaign events associated with that specific trip, but what you have seen the president do is dedicate his time to doing what he can to support democratic candidates. he spent a lot of time raising money for them and that reflects a significant commitment of this president's ti

in a recent gallup poll, that was the second most important issue. there are concerns among women and men that our administration isn't showing the competency dealing with very complicated issues whether it's threat to terrorist organizations or public health outbreaks. we see that security is an issue not just economically speaking but across the board, national security also. also high importance is jobs and job creation. all these issues come in among the front runners. >> bill snyder in the craft in the way we do politics in this country, is it even rational to look at women as a discrete block of voters? they are so many different kinds of americans in so many different places and circumstances. is there a set of issues? are there questions that you could ask them that would unite them around interests? >> well, women have tended to support democrats ever since ronald reagan became president in 1981. the reason is democrats have made an issue of protecting the safety net. women are inclined to favor strong safety net more than men. men tend to b

isis, lower down the list according to new gallup numbers.or republican voters, take a look at this. isis has now jumped to the number two priority. even if gop attacks on the president's foreign policy don't persuade many voters, they can certainly strike a chord with the republican base in midterm elections usually depend, of course, on mobilizing that voice. brian is here to handicap the strategy for the new republicans. how are you? >> i'm fine. >> what do you think of that starting point where people say, are you going to move anyone over to this issue? maybe not. but we've seen isis shoot up for republican voters and does that bring them to the polls? >> i guess it could. republicans have to walk a fine line because i'm not sure what the polling says but i can't imagine support among republican constituencies is in favor -- >> let me jump in. the polling does not say there's an alternative to the president's strategy. it just says republicans, who are predisposed to be critical of this president, now think this is the number two issue.

. >> schieffer: gallup poll has a poll out recently that shows those numbers more people are turning out to vote against the president than for him match the way people knelt advance of the 2010 election as you might remember that was a very bad night for the president and his party. >> and that is also why you don't see the president out on the campaign trail now. democrats say he will make an appearance or two by november 4th but as of right now, they won't tell us where he is going or when, when you do see himn't out on the campaign trail is mitt romney, republicans all across the country asking him to come in and vote for them and work for them. >> but, you know, when we were at an event in colorado this past week, mitt romney was treated like a rock star, people were chanting run, it in, run. >> schieffer: i mean, i said early on, it seemed to me like he was sort of testing the waters here and might actually run. will let's just go around the table, do you think he is going to run? >> i am skeptical he does but looking closely at jeb bush and chris christie i talked to him this

a new gallup poll says that sentiment is shared by the same proportion of men and women.nother top issue equal opportunity for advancement at work far surpassing treatment in the office or balancing parenthood with work. equal pay is resonating with voters, as well. becoming one of the top issues in the midterm election. guys, back to you. >> thank you. >>> if you've got a pile of personal paperwork you need to get rid of, we have an event just for you. nbc 10 and telemundo 62 have teamed up for the great shredder event. partnering with allstate to shred all your documents to keep you safe from identity theft. bring up to five boxes and mark your calendars this saturday at the wells fargo center. it is rain or shine, but i think we're going to be just fine. we'll find out from bill henley. >>> oh, yeah, those documents don't shred well in the rain. we'll keep it nice and dry and sunny for the entire weekend, how about that? for today, some areas of fog and some clouds overhead. we're getting a much warmer start. right now it is 65 degrees at 5:26. katty zachary has traffi

. >>> according to gallup, what people fear most nowadays is not assaults or thefts but having theirsonal data ripped off by virtual bad guys. 69% of those surveyed say they worry about hackers making off with their credit card information from stores. the second most feared crime is having a phone or computer hacked. the two crimes are far more worrying than home burglaries, car break-ins or muggings, according to this survey. one out of four people say they or a member of their household had their credit card information stolen from a store. that's what they worry about the most. >> it's happened to most of us. >>> b.a.r.t. is asking for your feedback on how to improve two of its most overcrowded stations. workers were at the embarcadero station passing out survey cards, asking riders what b.a.r.t.'s biggest priority should be. they are considering redesigning the embarcadero and montgomery street stations in order to keep up with the increase in ridership. >> i think the crowds around the escalators, elevators, but there are ways to manage that operation. it will take some effort.

>> if you look today at the gallup poll that came out that looked at the top five issues people are considering when they're heading into the midterm, in the top five, for éñq?e ebola into their thinking as to who would do a better job of governing and does the president need some sort of a checks and balance system like divided government, will that lead them, the few independents left, will that -- i don't have a picture but i'll try to put it on my facebook page. remember i did that fund-raiser for the african-american academy, they're in like beer yarks they've got this mirror, the school is shut down by order of the government. they're trying to do everything they can, a faith based organization to keep everybody safe in the middle of this epidemic, where people are dying every day. i understand in america, it's serious, but people want to realize that these are living on the line that they are -- that is happening as we speak and they dofbl have anything that we have. they don't have equipment, they don't have any way to feed themselves. those countries are d disintegrating and i think th

whatever gallup says is fine, but if you look at what campaigns are doing and outside interest groups are doing, they're talking to people about climate change, clean air, clean water, and oil security. the report just had this analysis that came out on friday so that those topics are the number one topic of all political ads. host: the impact of those topics are having on the economic issue, will the president's climate action plan, will it result in job losses? guest: just the opposite. there's already analysis that shows that the president's clean power plan, which would require power plants for the first time ever to reduce their carbon pollution would actually create jobs. why? because power companies would have to invest in new cleaner technologies, whether that's helping people's homes become more energy efficient, whether it's helping businesses become more energy efficient, whether it's installing solar panels or building wind turbines. all of those efforts require people to do work. and in fact, investments in clean energy create about three times as many jobs as investments

southern governors, were for him, and because a plurality of democrat inge voters manifested in the gallup poll were for him, almost surely would have been a democratic nominee anyway. now, what about humphrey who was vice president and his boss lyndon johnson, the president, who remember at the end of march had withdrawn from the election. well, john sson withdrew but at minimum hoped somehow he would be asked. remember, that convention was scheduled originally to coincide with johnson's birthday at the end of august. and johnson had this sort of lingering hope that he would be able to have a breakthrough in the negotiations with north vietnam and somehow bring peace to that war, or, a breakthrough in negotiations with the soviet union and be able to go to that convention on the evening of his birthday and announce peace and have the convention stampede in his favor. now that was an unrealized dream. but i don't think it's one that johnson ever abandoned. and for that reason, until well after the convention, because it took him a while to get over the fact that it didn't happen. until wel

. >> the gallup recently just did a poll back in april, young adults cite college costs as their top money problem. i'm wondering, and this has sparked a debate in our country. is college worth it? how do you answer that question, dr. linder? >> well, i think the university of nebraska regents and our state legislature have had access and affordability among its priorities for many years even before the recent discussions on costs. and we believe in nebraska that college is worth it. really, the opportunity to educate the next generation of nebraskans, that go out and form companies, service businesses, and have degrees that can support higher technology is really a central for both a growing economy and having an informed citizenry. >> how much majors are available at the university of nebraska? >> wow, that's a stump the president sort of question. you know, we have -- we have many colleges and many degree programs, some of which actually lead to a b.s., then of course graduate programs and certificate programs. it probably exceeds 100 in total and that includes both online educati

jokers whoa tough stuff and a growing number of polls says, yes -- according to gallup 32 percent ofe going to choose a candidate (?) at the voting booth. that sends a message of opposition to the obama agenda compared to only 20 percent who will vote for a candidate that supports the obama agenda. the margin is similar to 2010, when democrats lost control of the house. how much trouble is mr. obama in here? the obama is doing so poorly that even saturday live is taking shouts at him. >> mr. president, thank you for joining me. obama: it's great to be here, steve. >> is it? obama: not particular no. >> now, mr. president much has been made about the coalition you've assembled, but it sounds like america is bearing the brunt of this campaign. >> steve, that's how we roll, we roll slow and deliberately. almost like we have no idea where we're rolling to. lou: it's far too early for a celebration, but the time seems right for at least a modest hope for a lot of change. a slight g.o.p. grin would be in order. up next, you've seen international turmoil from the break up of yeugz to the wa

. >> this is an ap poll that's similar to a gallup one, do you think this is built up over time, though, in your experience? >> yeah, that's one of the things i think we ought to keep in mind here, the unraveling of the trust in government began in the johnson years, obviously nixon in watergate. the last one that probably got through it already is eisenhower achkd maybe kennedy until he was killed. let's remember that roosevelt started a lot of programs. johnson did the great society. and this is a liberal talking. i have said this many times and i will repeat it again. they were all well intentioned, but we bred generations of dependent people. i think the lack of trust in government goes not to the state, you see the local government was very well trusted. it's not anymore. it used to be local anchors and tv stations most trusted. unions are not trusted, corporations are not trusted. what does that tell you about organizations in general? leave aside the government, obama and all the scandals, but this is something that's gone on for decades now and it's only going to get worse. >> d

according to gallup 33 percent prefer men. 20 percent said women.f course it makes no difference . despite the results, and i want you to explain may be why there's a difference from what we thought it was because that is a much bigger number. are we moving in the right direction? >> the sad thing about this is that right now we are not really moving the needle in the right direction. there might be some hope. we are looking toward the millenniums. when you start today again to the numbers millenniums entering the workforce, and they really are coming in at more equal salaries. so even though today there is still a pretty wide gap, women are not being paid with their male counterparts are being paid we are hoping that maybe the millenniums can also help. charles: a millennial and someone who just wrote a book. in your book you did not seem as offended by the wage gap. >> i'm not really offended by the wage gap. there's a difference between men and women, a difference at home, in the bedroom, and also in the office place. as this survey is showing to

a gallup poll released last --th showed 60% of americans should we send in boots on the ground? now in is going on right the middle east is a direct result of president obama's lack of clarity and lack of real reform policy. when he came to office he decided he was going to pull back america from the world stage. he did not wanted to be the world's superpower that we are. when you step accu leave a vacuum. in that vacuum is chaos. -- step back you leave a vacuum. when president obama said syria did not use chemical weapons against its people and they did, the world watched and said this guy does not keep his word, he is weak. putin walk into the ukraine and that is what is happening in the middle east right now. hillary clinton also said it was a mistake by not acting quicker. leon panetta said it, henry kissinger said it. there has been a lack of leadership from president obama that has caused this problem. >> thank you a supplement. compass, 30 second rebuttal. is a serious threat not only to everyone in this nation but to everyone around the globe. this is one of those disagr

i said earlier, this president is profoundly unpopular. 55% disapproval rating in the most recent gallupl, tracking poll. what's going to determine the outcome? women, independents, who? >> well, he has such high negative ratings in every poll i've seen. in fact, 55% is low for the approval. i saw one with 59%. and then if you take up the people who are undecided you really lie realize 25% of the population. that's why he can't win -- everybody else is definitely not going to vote for him or very likely not going to vote for him. they see what's happening in the country. >> happening abroad, whether the islamic state, negotiations with iran. on two levels, first would permit a nuclear weapon for the iranians and secondly would do so with an agreement that would not be ratified by our senate. it's extraordinary. >> well the reason, of course, they don't want it to be ratified by the senate, because the senate wouldn't ratify a deal like that. it's silly. what is sad about this administration, and it really makes me dismayed by it, is that they want the appearance of something. not the sub

. >> if you look at the broader landscape it's clear -- gallup saying only 33 percent of people are going to show up that's much lower than 2010 and prior to that. what's very interesting, it's not just a lack of perhaps choices as you refer to it is a lack of motivation to go to the polls and obama has said it himself, if it is 2010 type turn out it will be -- david: i big enough she lacking for the republicans to take the senate? >> i'm not sure if this issue combined with others. possibly, yes, but to gerri's point.

. >> mara is right, the daily gallup tracking poll, he's up a little bit from where he was a few weekst certainly when you look at this broad set of issues that we're talking about, a lot of it reflects poorly on the president. some of it doesn't. i don't think it's fair to say that president obama is responsible for the ebola crisis. it adds to the sense that things are out of control. but it's not president obama's fault. >> but potentially security moms who have played in elections past may feel this angst -- >> right, exactly. >> on what the world is doing. >> i think -- remember, when barack obama came into office, on his first day, he issued an executive order in which he said his goal, his objective, was to restore faith in government because without restorred faith in government, he couldn't impment the kinds of changes that he wanted to make. and he was also very clear before he was elected and again running for re-election in 2012, if he wanted to be a transformative president, that he wanted to do big things, that he wanted to change the attitude of americans towards their g
