poll that went back and looked at a gallup poll -- went back to look to a gallup poll before we intervened in afghanistan. this is a war broadly supported after 9/11 -- >> a poll after -- >> after 9/11 in november of 2001. so when president bush had a broad consensus in support of the invasion, and 80% said yes 18% said no. but then gallup went underneath the numbers and of that 81%, 22% were reluctant warriors, and they found those -- they classified them that way because they said they would not have supported intervention had 9/11 not happened. so, combine the 22% with the 18%, you're already up, even at the moment when americans were most interventionist, you have 40% who are either doves or reluctant warriors, and then when you took apart the rest there were only 22%, they found, who were consistent hawks, who would have been willing to intervene before. so, you know, i think that when we look at american opinion, there is this deep underlying reluctance to intervene, even in circumstances when most americans have a gut sympathy for the intervention. and one other point to go to your

i know it is early on to tell but a gallup poll is showing the rate is 13%. how would you judge the beginning of obamacare? >> there are three things they wanted to do, increase access, improve quality, decrease costs. clearly on increasing access it has been successful. it is successful at the medicaid level. it is successful at the larger . around quality, there are now penalties for medicare for payments to hospitals around hospital-acquired infections and reed readmissions and as a resu qu is up. financially, we see the rate of increase in what we have been paying for health care as a nation, that rate of increase is slowing. so that's a good thing. those who favored this law suggest that the law had something to do with it. there are many explanations why the rate is decreasing that may not relate to the aca. >> such as? >> well, copays are larger, deductibles are larger and people are using less care because they can't afford it. >> if there is one thing tukd tweak what would it be? there are many things. >> limit it to one or two. >> one thing is addre

a new gallup poll said the share of americans without health insurance dips below 13% at the end of last year. a steep drop for more than 17% the year before. in the meantime just today, as of january 1, 6.6 million people selected a health plan through healthcare.gov marketplace. >>> good news about small business hiring. the national federation of independent businesses. picked up in december and new workers. >> another area that's expected to see a lot of growth during the next year is franchising. kate rogers more on the outlook for 2015. >> reporter: for the first year in a row, american franchisees are on a winning streak. it's the solid year of growth despite regulatory hurdles that are hampering the model. the international franchise association, the largest global trade group for the industry said the sector is set to grow by 5% this year. this means cash to be made and jobs created. more than 12,000 franchise locations in the u.s. will create more than 247,000 jobs. th will also see increased economic output in 2015 to the tune of 889 billion according to steve, the president.

we saw the gallup poll numbers and the numbers are higher than bill clinton's were at this time.e scalise thing. scalise was taking donations from this same man that introduced him to the white supremacist group. that's not jeremiah wright this please. >> obama was meeting with wright going into -- >> you know it was far more complex. >> let's not talk about that. >> i'm not going to -- >> they're not parallel. >> i want to move on what was talked about. are the approval ratings that the president is getting toward the end of the year here. you're alluding to those, angela. i'll go to you, chris, on the numbers. does that mean that congress has to deal with the more popular president coming into 2015 here and we'll see more things happen because they'll be willing to come to the table >>well as low as they have gotten i don't think they're going anywhere but up. i'm actually -- i mean that sincerely sincerely. i'm hopeful there are opportunities for the president and congress to come together and fix some of the issues that have not been dealt with over the last couple of years.

then gallup went underneath the numbers and of that 81%, 22% were reluctant warriors and they found those -- they classified them that way because they said they would not have supported intervention had 9/11 not happened. so combine the 22% with the 18%, you're already up, even at the moment when americans were most interventionist, you have 40% who are either doves or reluctant warriors and then when you took apart the rest, there were only 22% they found, who were consistent hawks, who would have been willing to intervene before. so i think that when we look at american opinion, there is this deep underlying reluctance to intervene, even in circumstances when most americans have a gut sympathy for the intervention. and one other point to go to your original question, should we fly which of these comes close to your view 22% s.a.t. said flatly we're unlikely to defeat isis but this is where iraq comes in. 56% said the u.s. can defeat isis but they will not -- but they will return only 20% thought we could permanently defeat isis so that the war i think, the iraq war has created a kind o

the latest gallup tracking poll approval rating at 50%.e has hit that mark in a gallup polling. he reach add term low approveal of 38% in september, two months before democrats lost control of the senate. so. >> during that -- 50%. a lot of people around the white house who didn't think they were going to see that again. >> and they're jubilant. >> yeah. they are riding high. we saw that in the state of the union last week in terms of the president's bra vaud p's bravado. i was going to use another football term. riding high didn't expect this and are going to ride it out as long as they can. >> and nick we've been sitting around the table, and said the president delivering this speech that he delivered may not be good for the state of the union, may not be good for compromise. may not be good for getting things done in washington, d.c., but it was good politically. we said that in realtime. good politically for barack obama. these numbers seem to bear that out? >> right. it he's entering the stage of his presidency where he can do what he

. >> gallup poll and americans think that ronald reagan is the greatest american president. clinton. and then fourth and fifth we have jfk and we have washington. >> so washington comes in fifth. >> he came in fifth. >> that's probably the editorial comment from me the lack of history. >> they probably haven't all read "killing lincoln." >> when you're in school you should know of the achievements of a guy like lincoln, jefferson, franklin delano roosevelt. i think that piece that you just put on illustrates kind of like that. jesse water, everybody. again thanks for watching us tonight. i'm bill o'reilly. always remember that the spin stops right here. we're definitely looking out for you. >>> the calendar may have flipped to a new year but old rivals continue to come to nature the foreign policy crisis coming fast and furious for president obama in 2015. this is "special report." >>> good evening and happy new year. i'm ed henry in for bret baier. fireworks lit the sky to bring in 2015 while foreign policy hot spots continue to smolder around the world. jennifer griffin lo

with the stronger agenda that the american people strongly supported in the midterm election and the gallup poll want this more stronger robust republican platform to go forward. >> 15 votes. >> he probably won't. >> there are so many people who want -- that this #fire boehner they just want him out. i hate to say this it's probably not go to happen bockb's probably right, if they get ten or 11 dissenting votes. however, i think just having this discussion, is at least a heads -- it should be at least a heads up to john boehner and some of the other -- you want to call them centrist republicans that there is a voice on the right that needs to be heard and maybe just the fact that wire having this discussion will wake him up. >> and the people who even have a chance to be successful and be in this position with a larger majority is because john boehner raised $100 million for candidates all across america and increased the majority. >> greg is right, he's an adult, he knows what he's doing he knows how to play politics right. and it underscores how tiny the right is. >> there a feel who come

well, for the first time in gallup's polling history, they named the government as the top one, including, the president and congress. the economy dropped down to number two in 2014 after seven years after americans top kern s concerns. greg do you think this is a good development? >> basically you're saying government is number one, number two, number three, number four. overregulation, and the overtaxization and the intrusiveness in all areas of your life. in a sense, this poll says is pleading with the government to get behind us not to get in front of us. not to block our path, but to push us forward. >> are you surprised at all, eric, that the messaging that i don't think -- if you just 4ru6r7 the economy and the jobs here you're up to 32%. the interesting part of the survey, something we talk a lot about, race is only 3%. it's near the bottom. terrorism is only 2%. yet we talk a lot about those too. health care came in fourth or so, this year or the employer mandate kicks in by the end of this year, that's going to have an affect on jobs and the economy. >> bob if you are planning a

lou: gallup is an outlier in this there are some solid improvements and also some tremendous overhangsing anxiety for investors and traders and small businessmen and women to multinationals as well. >> it's no question that the market is volatile and having said that it depends on the people who were polled. a lot of folks are not doing better, the economy is not better and the hispanic community a lot of folks are doing better either. >> holding on a minute, if we are talking about the -- this has nothing to do with -- >> i'm sure that you have seen this and you have looked at the methodology, these are the mainstream polling operations and you all might have some different interpretations, but these are professional polls. and i'm not saying that they are not. >> ihde said for the average american, especially for my community that the economy is not better jobs are not better. that is the only point that i am making. >> turning to loretto -- as she said that illegal immigrants have as much right to work as american citizens. >> this was not artful, but otherwise well-prepared and a l

i mean he's come up even in the daily tracking poll on gallup. >> that's direct economy to how peopleut the economy. they feel better about the economy whether they rightly or wrongly feel about that, they do. president gets too much credit for bad economies and good economies. right now, historically, when the economy is pretty good, the president's numbers are better. lou: and right now, mitt romney seems to be the favorite dog in the republican hunt, if you look at these polls. >> he obviously has the name id, having had the nominee. there's a lot of backlash. people saying, thank you very much. we were for you last time, we won't be for you this time. he's drawn a lot of unfavorable attention early on. i'm not sure he'll the number final go around here. lou: donald trump is holding fourth. a lot of people take him seriously. do you? >> i don't take him seriously. certainly, he's a builder and has been successful in business. not as a serious presidential candidate. you know it's all part of the circus that goes on early on. it will get down to four or five serious people. we have

in conclusion, nearly four decades after letting 76, the year when george gallup junior announced theyear of the evangelical and when jimmy carter won office the potential relevance was no longer taken for granted. among the chattering classes all signs suddenly pointed to decline, markers ranged from the sale of the iconic crystal cathedral mega church to the increasing number of americans who consider themselves spiritual not religious. on the political side, the understanding that the evangelical vote is a king making vote is now dead. few then dared except in the case of 2008 imagine the evangelical left would ever become the democratic party version of the christian right. the obama presidency promised a new twist on the old story of american a in politics. and obama first american address he spoke of the nation of believers. and religion which it been so often defined in evangelical terms had a special place in the pantheon of american worldviews but not an exclusive waste. many of the issues that our the evangelical right's rise has not run their course. the issue of abortion e

cheryl: move onto other issues that americans are concerned about, i was looking at the recent "gallup poll," the top concerns of the american people for 2014. government leadership. economy. unemployment health care. health care not really listing in the top space anymore, and at the same time, government leadership is. do we need to see more bipartisanship? >> there will be more bipartisanship. the chaos was not just by the president and house republicans being the different party. now a collective congress they will work together, and pass good legislation, and the president can either veto it or get on board. my sense is it won't be acrimonious with harry reid on one side and john boehner on the other side. republicans need to know to make this all work. cheryl: karen do you think the republicans know to once again repeal obamacare maybe a hopeless cause. i can't see the president backing down on that? >> the president isn't going to back down on anything. the idea he is going to work with congress is pointless. he said look there's three things he's going to draw a line in the red

john: a "gallup poll" says a third of americans believe in astrology. times square it seemed like most did. >> i love astrology. i'm a big believer yeah. >> rational to believe in astrology? >> absolutely absolutely. everything happens from the stars. >> yeah, i'm deep into it. john: why? by what logic would the position of stars and the moon at the time of your birth govern your personality. let alone predict what will happen to you? it's not reasonable. i once paid a famous astrologier to do a clart on this man, she created a 25 page horoscope based on his date and time. kemper is a serial murderer who murdered six hitchhikers, his grandparents and mother. we gathered their birth dates before and said don't look at your neighbor's copy. this is personal, your 24 page horoscope. the students read the same 25 pages and said things like wow! i didn't believe in astrology before, but this is amazing. no one could have known all these things about me. i'm a believer. why would they think kemper's horoscope was theirs? because aastrologers and psychics and

part of that is republicans quite frankly according to gallup polling has been 8, 10% approving a year. he's already lost the audience he's going to lose. i don't think he's terribly concerned about getting a big spike. >> the crowd he's going to face on tuesday is a little different in make up. he said today he's going to be on offense in the next two years but i don't know any president who said i'm going to be on defense in the next two years. do you think he actually want to get anything done or just fight? >> his offense will be an aggressive defense. >> offensive. >> vetoing anything that actually gets on his desk that's a major proposal, but we'll continue to see a very aggressive effort in terms of executive powers, including overseas. i think his big legacy items that he's focused on now is not really dealing with isis. he knows he's going to pass that on to his successor he will do the bear minimum. it's a big deal with iran, and as a big deal like be cuba. >> the additional things that he's mentioned so far, we know that the white house sort of dribbled out a little bit of t

let me get to this gallup poll talking about sucking us all dry, because if you take a look at theses a politician. >> as government/politicians, the number one problem to the american people which to me and pat and doug -- >> are politicians in government? >> well, yes. the three of us have been harping on this all along, and this will tell you how smart the average voter is, that they have correctly diagnosed what the ruining this country, are these jerks in washington who have subverted the system for themselves. they're out for the american people. >> let me jump in here, look that 18% the first time since the end of the year, people have been asked and that came from the voters, they were given a list. when you look at what americans feel about their government one they're angry that it doesn't work, and secondly, they're alienated from it, they feel that the country does not work for them but works for special interests, whether it's on the left or the right and they are basically getting screwed. and those numbers are in the 80 and 9 0 percentile. look at the republicans, 90%

gallup went underneath the numbers and of that 81% 22% were reluctant warriors and they found those,them that way because they said they would not have supported intervention had 9/11 not happened. combine the 22% with the 18% and you're up even at the moment where americans were most interventionist and you have 40% who were either doves or reluctant warriors. took apart the rest, there were only 22%, they found who were consistent hawks who would have been willing to intervene before. so i think when we look at american opinion there is this deep, underlying reluctance to intervene even in circumstances when most americans have a gut sympathy for the intervention and one other point to go to your original question if you remember shibly's slide and which comes closest to your review and this is where iraq really comes in. 57% said the u.s. can defeat isis and only 20% thought we could perfectly defeat isis so that the war, i think, the iraq war has created a pessimism about the possible -- or let's put it another way. there is no longer an excessive optimism about what american pow

they tend to gallup along the bottom of lakes and rivers. >> i think they came across the wrong hipporter: mike operates a tour operation where the fishermen were clients. if the hippo caught them -- >> it wouldn't bitten straight through the boat. no doubt. if the boat hadn't moved, it would have bitten the boat in half. >> reporter: you thought jaws had powerful journalist s-- powerful jaws so do hippos. don't fall for the cartoon image, beguiling eyes game -- ♪ >> reporter: this one wasn't hungry hungry. seemed angry, angry. the hip so considered to be the most dangerous animal in africa. said to kill almost 3,000 humans a year. at least the boat got away intact. beats having a bull elephant sit on your car while you're in it and then stand on it. authorities in thailand blame mating season. though mounting a silver sedan seems counter-reproductive. the bull even kicked around the bumper but no one was hurt. i plead guilty. guilty of being clueness about how unpredictable and aggressive hippos can be. first i lost my heart to a hippo, then i almost lost my arm. it was 18 years ago

if this economy keeps going the way it is what's really striking in that gallup poll is that some ofbama's biggest gains are among the youngest voters, under 30s. there has been a little bit of weakening in that group. that group may not vote in midterm elections, but they do vote in presidential elections. and so that's good for obama, but it also could have -- it could be really good for the democrats. >> thank you both for joining me tonight. >>> coming up federal agents uncovered some real russian spies here in the united states. not quite the way they're being portrayed on "the americans," that tv series about russian spies. >>> also coming up the details about the real american sniper that are not in the big box office movie. >>> and in the "rewrite" tonight, what i think about during blizzards. recently, a 1954 mercedes-benz grand prix race car made history when it sold for a record price of just under $30 million. and now, another mercedes-benz makes history selling at just over $30,000. and to think this one actually has a surround-sound stereo. the 2015 cla. see your author

on average, "gallup" approval rating has consistently fallen by 1% the week after his address.much in such thing. so is that the public's state of the union fatigue or simply obama fatigue. the president doesn't offer up a whole lot new in his talks and delivery it isn't very peppy. >> we should continue the work of fixing our broken immigration system. >> i strongly believe that we should take on once and for all, the issue of illegal immigration. >> i believe as strongly afrz we should take on illegal immigration. >> the time has come to pass comprehensive immigration reform. >> time to heed the call of business leaders, labor leaders, faith leaders, law enforcement and fix our broken immigration system. lou: and tonight, well our lame-duck president ramps up warfare class rhetoric as well. i expect him to keep his rather tiresome tone. >> the best thing we could do on taxes for all americans is simplify the individual tax code. >> we need to change our tax code so people like me, and awful lot of members of congress, pay our fair share of taxes. >> now is our best chance for

. >> a gallup poll was conducted, i'm sure you're aware, earlier this week if not late last week foundedtizenry wants congress to deal with this was issue 33. less than 3% of the american population say that abortion is something that they want lawmakers to tinker with right now. what's your response to that? >> well we deal with issues up here all the time that aren't necessarily in the top five. now -- >> we have been dealing with the top 20. >> dealing with those and economic issues like heroes act. passed the key styne pipeline bill that gets right to the heart of our economic efforts in this country. so we are passing economic bills that go right to the heart of what people want. but people also want us to do something about the fact that america's one of a handful of countries that april lew people to have abortions after 20 weeks, even pro-choice people want us to pass this legislation. we're going to get this one part right, bring it back pass it and do the right thing. >> you will acknowledge, though that the types of abortions you're talking about, these 20-week abortions, thes

and of course we also have a lot of data from gallup and others toward islamist extremism.what do we know and what do we know about that counternarrative maybe not driven by the u.s. government but maybe driven by others. >> yeah. it is a really good question. let me just quickly address the earlier questions with susan, the world view issue i think is something that needs to be probed. that is something that i start with because i think there's something always there that is just covered when you're just focused on the issues. you have to look at these packages. it goes down to -- it relates also to what gary asked about, so what is the prism through which democrats or republicans view as issues or at least the american public. obviously a multiple prism. but i just want to note one thing on the poll that you refer to you're right about democrats attempt to see it mostly through human rights. certainly the israel-palestine question mostly through human rights prism. but the republicans actually don't see it necessarily through a u.s. interest prism either. they actually se
