americans on average are spending one hundred nine dollars a day according to gallup polling that's the highest spending average in nine years and the sixth straight month where daily spending is more than one hundred dollars meanwhile small business owners optimism is at a ten year high they're generally more optimistic about the future than present conditions these phrases coincide with americans confidence in the economy which jumped four points in july on gallup's economic confidence index while an improvement from the past couple of months it's still near the low for twenty seventeen still july marks the ninth straight month americans rated the economy more positively than negatively the longest streak above zero since gallup started tracking it in two thousand and eight. view the current economic conditions more positive with thirty three percent describing it as excellent or good and only twenty two percent saying it's poor but looking ahead more americans see the economy as getting worse rather than getting better so we know what americans think but is that really the case is th

these phrases coincide with americans confidence in the economy which jumped four points in july on gallup's economic confidence in. next while an improvement from the past couple of months it's still near the low for twenty seventeen still july marks the ninth straight month americans rated the economy more positively than negatively the longest streak above zero since gallup started tracking it in two thousand and eight. view the current economic conditions more positive with thirty three percent describing it as excellent or good and only twenty two percent saying it's poor but looking ahead more americans see the economy as getting worse rather than getting better so we know what americans think but is that really the case is the us economy headed for a downturn the data tells us different things some analysts think the confidence in expectation or end up being greater than the reality let's see what marshall our back thinks the research associate at levy economics institute marshall in a recent interview the c.e.o. of chanting global gina sanchez she said she thinks there are several si

i think it was a gallup poll from a year or so ago. it is almost like those numbers don't matter. as always emotions, the statue of liberty and so forth. meanwhile, other polls are being floated by the media today, the cnn poll, will put it up on the screen, certain qualities, please state whether you think each one applies or doesn't apply to donald trump. "is honest and trustworthy," does not apply, you see the numbers. these polls are put out there for what reason, do you think? i thought to myself, well, those are the samples that had hillary winning significantly. >> the president got it wrong, and he's been right, they have been wrong, but there is no doubt, there are segments of the extreme media, and i wouldn't call it mainstream, it is extreme to want to have unlimited cheap migration. these are extreme positions. the extreme media is going to do whatever they can to tear down this president, but as long as the people stand for what they want and what they believe, we are going to keep winning. >> laura: the populist movement, which, of course, donald trump is really the

with the gallup and other polls that they think is the hoax. but that was close to half a century ago. but on the other hand, it is the biggest that humans have ever achieved. with the enormous amount of money. one hundred times more powerful than your cellphone. but yet it was so long ago. >> and with those different aspects. >> it is critical is the government:so the budget soared during the apollo bin surge quickly. and equally discouraging with the federal budget so that has to do more with less with the technologies but now there were all those new players. and some are funded by billionaires' but i think in the aggregate clearly day rival the budget. >> are they cooperating with each other?. >> with nasa i think there is some frustration it was by a retired so some of the companies wanted to do their own thing. so there was suddenly a rivalry but until recently there was cooperation with these private space companies they aren't a business model yet. with those multibillion-dollar contracts putting astronauts up into orbit and the money i

the gallup is more. this shows the trajectory is going in the wrong direction. >> yeah. >> it's going down. it's not what he wants. we saw in the poll among republicans, he's at 76% approval. that, i mean, obviously, that's a good number in a vacuum, but among republicans, you would expect a republican president to be well in the northern part of the 80s and 90s. 76% approval in your own party shows there's been some diminishing of support from your own partisans. >> you have that. you also have some maybe acknowledgement from the white house. the counselor to the president, kellyanne conway, remember, she is a pollster at heart. she knows the numbers and mechanics. she said on the sunday shows they have work to do. listen to this. >> i would note, too, in some of the polling, which i scour daily on behalf of the president. his approval rating among republicans and conservative and trump voters is down slightly. it needs to go up. they are telling him, just enact your program, don't worry about a congres

gallup did a giant study.they studied people who have been out of college at lease for five years and they asked them, are you happy with the direction of your career? i called up the group said yes and then they joked down and found that they had in common gallup him they had two things in common. they had an internship somewhere along the way and they had a mentor who took an interest in their hopes and dreams. they are such a message in a bottle. their profile in this book most big retail companies today their h.r. policies or to leave people out. apply for old navy or walmart. they give millions of applications a year. they are overwhelmed so the interface between them and the job applicant. do you know how to fold a shirt and you know how to deal with the customer and if you pass that test that weeds out thousands of people. if you go to their web site you'll notice in the upper right corner are a smiley face button. call the coach button. i listed all the questions. coach would away where it's my job? co

the president did slightly better in two other polls out yesterday. 36% approval in a new gallup poll. 38% in the latest rasmussen survey. >>> he wait six days, but president trump is finally or has finally signed a bill imposing new sanctions against russia. the law gives congress veto power to block the president from easing or removing the sanctions. mr. trump not happy about it. he says he signed the measure for the sake of national unity. >> afterward, he released a statement saying, "the bill remains seriously flawed, particularly because it enkroechs on the executive branch -- encroaches on the executive branch's authority to negotiate congress could not even negotiate a health care bill after seven years of talking. by limiting the executives' flexibility, this bill makes it harder for the united states to strike good deals for the american people and will drive china, russia, and north korea much closer together." john mccain, who plans to return to the senate next month, despite starting radiation and chemotherapy treatments for brain cancer, was quick to criticize the presi

they don't -- >> by the way much better out come than gallup.a at 36 media approval rating, same as donald trump. depend who you look at. when you say there isn't hatred in the media, have early on how fashion industry that donald trump is won, because they much rather dress hillary clinton then melania trump. that was a true story. >> i read everything. i don't know what you're talking about. >> true, fashion section, excuse me, let me. fashion section of "new york times." i read it because every section of "new york times" -- >> i clear live don't read fashion section. >> maybe you should. every section of "the new york times" has indulged in this anti-trump venomous coverage. it has been relentless. i think you know, i think he tried in the beginning. he sat down with the editorial board of "the new york times," "wall street journal," et cetera. connell: -- >> all consult its say believe me and nobody else -- cult its. pretty soon winter is coming with russia. he doesn't want anybody to believe. what mitch mcconnell wind up saying about i am

there has been tension between the fact that in gallup and other polls 7% to 10% of americans don't think we did it. they think it was a hoax. setting aside that so many americans were not alive when it happens, close to half a century, cultural memory. it is fading from view. on the other hand, it is the most stunning technical achievement humans have ever achieved, hundreds of thousands of scientists and engineers, thousands of companies, enormous amount of money, with computers that were so primitive, 100 times less powerful than your cell phone computer to get to the moon, an extraordinary achievement but it was so long ago. of the 19 how does nasa fit in with all the different aspects of potential space exploration? >> guest: nasa is still critical because it is the government space agency. they had a hard time. there budget sword during apollo and then retrenched quickly after the vietnam war was starting up and we couldn't afford spending that much on nasa. equally discouraging for space acolytes, nasa's budget has done down as a fraction of the federal budget by a factor of two in

disciplines, rainers, which are horses that do a pattern based on cowboy moves so that the horse might gallupo the stadium and 40 miles an hour slide to a stop and do a rollback, go to the other end, slide to a stop, come to the middle, slide back up and do four turns to the right and four turns to the left and fast circles, slow circle, change, fast, change lead, come to a stop. that's one pattern. now you practice and practice and practice. so you got to be in good shape. >> yeah. >> so i love this. i love that competition. i love to get on these horses who are olympic athletes trained by danny, a genius at training and i love to fulfill the promise, the potential of the horse and not get in its way, his or her way. >> yeah. >> i got to be physically adaptive. i got to have stamina. i got to have balance in order to do that, i got to work out and keep trim and be careful and that may very well be a reason that i'm as healthy as i am. >> the horses have kept you young? >> yes. >> yeah. the description of that activity alone could wear somebody out. actually sitting on the horse while that's

but gallup's final pre-election numbers 36% favorable, 61% unfavorable.ill won. so our friend steve kornacki wrote a piece published today -- not so fast, which looks why we should look at the numbers in a different way. steve, i'm sorry i'm a little cotton-mouthed hribal now. i muffled up your intro. when i say don't look at the poll numbers. he still won. >> i think there's a challenge here for the media, for people who analyze these things, for anybody who wants to talk about the policy number. one is i think it's okay and healthy for us to admit we don't know what these numbers mean. we have a pretty good sense looking back at a clinten or reagan. we can compare between them, you know, those presidencies were one thing. this is a very different presidency. you think there are a lot of different possibilities here. there are possibilities they numbers are as catastrophic as they look, but maybe we have to grapple with the possibilities they're not fearly as -- >> i think we will find out, though. like we're going to check evidence, certainly over 18, 2

he got 46% of the vote, down to 34% in the gallup poll. we've trump voters who've gone back to. the first time in the interviews, we found trump voters saying i still approve of him but i'm concerned about this, i still approve of him but why did relose on healthcare? for the first time we've seen the beginning of concerns and caveats ton part of solid trump voters from before and i think they felt they needed to run the ad. >> yang: tomorrow a special election in alabama to fill the seat jeff sessions left. it's a crowded republican primary. both mitch mcconnell and president trump have endorsed one of the candidates and you would think that would be the end of it but that candidate, luther strange, the senator appointed to fill the seat, is having trouble just staying in second place to make it to a runoff. what the going on, amy? >> this is a contest now in alabama between who can love donald trump the most and hate mitch mcconnell the most and hate leadership in the establishment the most. so luther training has the strange combination of being supported by the insider and t

poll showed not once did the american public majority of americans into gallup polls said the country was in the right direction. a very sour and fiber to be governing in. only 11% of americans were happy with the countries direction. he had this phenomena where hope and change ended up preside over an area of paralysis and polarization. essentially, something as undeniably positive as hunting down and finally dispatching osama bin laden only produce a very short-lived sense of unity and consensus from the country. i guess partly because the economic recovery hold us back from the abyss and to produce millions of jobs, cut unemployment in half, but also left many people feeling behind and resentful. clearly there was a sense that he is not represented a significant portion of the population as they saw their needs in government. he became instead of the change agent to many americans, part of washington. i think it's interesting in a lot of ways but he's not the first president to come into office promising unity, only to become a polarizer. all three presidents i covered before presi

now the latest gallup tracking poll is even lower.just 34%, the lowest of his administration so far. back now with the panel. i mean, at what point do key republicans start to, you know, just look at these numbers and back away? >> well, the truth is the country is so divided that there are a lot of republicans who just happen to be in places where trump is very popular, right? so a lot of the senators that might be running next year in red states where this national poll doesn't actually matter. but historically, it's really rare for a president to be that low this early. >> right. >> i think barack obama never actually reached 34% in gallup. it took george w. bush to the very end of his term when the iraq war was very unpopular after katrina, a very, very low point in george w. bush's term to get to that point. so the fact that halfway through the first year, he's hit that point? often when presidents hit that low, they don't really recover. so historically, that's a tough place to be. but because of the sort of structural advantage

once but the american public in the majority of americans in gallup poll say they thought the country was in the right direction. at the. only 11% of americans were happy with the country's direction. he had this phenomenon where the current -- it says something about that. that even something as undeniably positive as hunting down and dispatching osama bin laden only was a short-lived sense of unity and consensus from the country. i think partly because the an economic recovery brought us back from the abyss and it cut unemployment in half but it also left many people feeling behind and resentful. there clearly was a sense that he had not represented a significant portion of the population as they saw their needs and governments. he became, instead of a change agent to many americans part of washington. i think it's interesting in a lot of ways because he's not the first president to come into office promising unity only to become a polarizer. all the presidents basically shared that aspiration. present clinton is a phrase the repair of the briefs as isaiah said and by that he meant

it's down around 34% right now in the latest gallup poll. how do you think this is playing with the trump voter who maybe voted for him for economic reasons or other reasons besides these racist issues that obviously did attract for some reason people? >> one of the things to remember is among the polling that we're seeing, the base isn't being moved a whole lot. it's the people who are fringe trump supporters. they've gone pretty quiet over the last couple of days quite frankly. how it plays with candidates will be interesting to see. here's the reason. trump was never a republican per se. he was a populist. he utilized the republican party as a vehicle to get to the presidency. he didn't have tremendous loyalty in congress by a lot of the republicans. listen to lindsey graham. lindsey graham has no time for donald trump. frankly even during the campaign, when asked about trump's international views, he called it gibberish. so he hasn't come very far to accepting president trump. so i think that's going to be worth watching. who follows rep

the lowest point ever in a gallup poll and 61% of americans say they disapprove of the job the president is doing. that is also a new low for that poll. the survey was conducted during a three-day period that ended sunday as the president came under fire for his response for the incident there. the white house former communications director anthony scaramucci has some tough words for chief white house strategist steve bannon. in an appearance on late show with stephen colbert scaramucci called bannon a leaker and said if it were up to him he'd fire him. and he reiterated his criticism of president trump's initial statement on charlottesville. >> let's be fair to him today, though. he did condemn the nazis today. in two days later. does he order his spine on amazon prime? why did it take so long? >> i said yesterday and i maintain that he's got to be tougher on that stuff if he wants his legislative agenda to pass, he has moderate direction and appeal to people that are independents and moderates that possibly voted for him to help him ascend to the pressey. >> what is going on? >> intere

. -- that is the lowest in the gallup poll since he has taken office. it is the lowest since he has been for quite some time. we are always away from the 2020 , bution from the midterms you can bet that every challenger is going to try to link republican incumbents to this white house. >> and kevin, what do we expect from the president today? >> you notice the heavy security since he-- presence has become president. he will be signing executive action later this afternoon between 3:00 and 4:00 on infrastructure. details are not many, but according to the white house he will sign action that will essentially establish disciplinary and accountability in the process for infrastructure projects. we will have all the latest details later this afternoon. >> thank you both very much. >> let check in now on the first word news. >> north korea may be signaling it once to -- kim said he would watch what he calls the foolish and stupid conduct of the yankees before deciding to go ahead with the launch. the president directed the u.s. trade representative to look a

might be able to learn from what happened today as president trump's unfavorables go up according to gallupy: the challenger is supposed to do pretty well, s candidate will probably make the cut off. we hadmportant to know significantly positive economic reports. expectations -- beat expectations. it does look positive on the u.s. economy whether it is donald trump's fault or not. it does not hurt him to see those numbers come out. schee: thanks to marty nker. let us check in on the first word news. emma: president trump will sign an executive order to speed up the process for getting permits the public works process -- projects. therson familiar with matter said there will be a two-year goal. in south korea, the president has made it clear his country will not stay quite well tensions rise. moon is asserting the right to veto any military action. the british government is preparing to complete the cell of its green investment bank this week. groupp led by australia's agreed to pay $3 billion for it. the deal will be finalized on friday. 2012.nk was set up in in germany, the latest news on

gallup polling company traces trump support from january 20th until now and we have seen loss in republicans, democrats 5%. 11% of independents. a quarter of his support that he did have and now he doesn't have. there in lies the tale of what we might expect. the 37 alone is not enough if you just look at republicans. and he is losing those independent votes. if this continues, he could be in trouble. when, it is hard to tell. >> and what are the chances of the knew sheriff in town, new chief of staff can reign the president in. >> we can all learn. but you have a 71-year-old man who is used to doing things his own way and from what we can tell successfully, why should he change. he likes people coming to him and of course john kelly wants to keep people from coming from him. >> he are goiwe are going to co track. click on the trump administration link to find more information. >>> just weeks after hayward formally declared itself a sanctuary city, the neighborhood is crying foul. i.c.e. telling us that neither man has ever been lawfully admitted to the united states. they say their database

news poll and gallup polls the president has an approval rating between thirty six and thirty seven percent fifty eight to fifty nine percent of americans disapprove of the president's performance the president responded today telling the american people not to pay attention to the fake news polls for more on this we go to our political panel this evening partner at the pistorius group read bellman joins us and former colorado state senator ted harvey gentlemen great to have you with us tonight well the biggest news out there is what the president of the united states said today i want to play that for you right now to get your response here it is. and as i said they will be met with fire fury and frankly power the likes of which this world has never see before. bread bellman or we go into world war three. i don't know if we're going to world war three i thought that what we did see on display today was a man who clearly does not understand what it means to be a tough guy a guy who thinks that being a tough guy is about issuing threats and bluster and talking over other people and i mean do

but if you look at gallup and polling they have shown we have seen a spike throughout the duration in the past three years. why have we seen this continued increase in racial tensions in this country? >> i would go back to the current mayor of chicago rahm emanuel who said never let a crisis go to waste. you have this violent group called antifa out there who say they are against fascists, yet you saw them take together streets at the university of berkeley in a vie excellent manner opposing any conservative coming to that university to speak. when you look at the black lives matter movement who say they are against white supremacists. one of the biggest white supremacists this country has known was margaret sanger and they don't talk about the organization she founded, planned parenthood. and then george soros worked with nazis against his own people in world war ii yet they accept his money to finance their efforts. lisa: i want to ask you, you mentioned antifa, we have seen articles in pun cases across the country. i want to make sure i get this right. it's titled, unmask the antif

a gallup poll taken a few months before bush versus gore included 62% of our people believed the court was doing a very good job. today the number is 45%. some suggest with plausibility that this decreased public admiration for the court is a attributable at least in part to the much lower views the public now has of government as a whole. if they're right and the court is primarily a victim of the greater disfunction in and contempt for government in general it only connects more intimately the trends i've noted. but one thing i'm sure, chief justice burger would be alarmed. and here is how in my view what i've said so far comes together. and would come together for the chief justice. against the backdrop of a growing nuance in complexity and the emergence of a coliseum society, he would argue that the court, especially the court, must stand even stronger as a testament to the power of thought and reason. and make no mistake about it. he would emphasize that the court derives enormous moral power from the honesty and transparency of the process seen in its published work. sometimes we

when you look at independent polling over the last couple of days, if you look at gallup, president trumppproval rating to did to around -- dipped around 34%. his team around him has tried to focus on the economy, but president trump, less than 24 seeing policee vehicles. i just want to say this. we are seeing an increase of police presence where a growing crowd of protesters had gathered chanting against president trump. that is something that i think many outlets will be monitoring throughout the next several hours. to conclude my thought, i would note that this is something that while the president, trying to focus on economic issues, and if you look at what he tweeted, criticizing ceos, and even at the press conference, criticizing the ceos who left the business council as well as criticizing senator john mccain on the issue of health care, this is a president really feels that going after his critics will help him reach legislative goals. so far, he has yet to have a major legislative accomplishment on health care, infrastructure, tax policy. if you look at the month of september, he

that is the way i read it, i say, you know people are feeling good about stock market, there is a gallupoll folks saying -- by a big majority now is the time to look for a job, that says that people feel they have turned corner. >> that is right, you look at employers they are having trouble finding employees to match skill levels. gerri: i know you want to talk about apple. >> apple. gerri: one of your big stocks, spending a billion on content. tell me what you make of that. >> a couple of weeks ago we spoke about disney leaving netflix, apple they have to do it. think about itune they charge $1.45 for one movie. apple is saying we'll put join the party, and see where we can go with this. gerri: this is my question, this is pairly a dent in their balance sheet -- barely's dent in their balance sheet, is it enough to make a difference in the business? will it give them enough money to really play. >> it shows a commitment, i know 1 billion out of 260 billion does not seem like a lot, it is pretty big, it all about content. content is killer right now. gerri: they are really hiring. >> i

new poll from gallup shows 16% of republicans approve of the job congress is doing, down from 50% inruary. mark steyn, talked about arbitrary timelines. isn't seven years a nice, healthy timeline? >> mark: i would like to wrap up the two great issues. i would like to drop mitch mcconnell on the presidential palace in pyongyang and i would like whoever it was running kim jong-un's nuclear program to be the senate majority leader because he gets things done in leaps and bounds. that's the kind of guy. people are sick of hearing from the republican side where nothing can be done. it is not like that when the democrats are in control. >> eboni: people felt like president obama, his first two years, a democrat-controlled house, senate, and he's in the white house. not a ton got done. he saw what obstruction look like in the last six years of his presidency. president trump has it all right now and why is not more getting done? >> mike: it was put on the gas. mcconnell, takes a lot of stones to go home after taking august off and saying these things take time. it's the audacity of taking a

." >> jon: new pulling from gallup on the president's approval rating.tesville violence continues to flame emotion. the president turning toward infrastructure today, we'll have that for you. also, california sues over its sanctuary cities. that and much more ahead, happening now. >> gillian: elizabeth warren slamming clinton era policies and proclaiming that liberals have taken control of the democratic party following hillary clinton's failed presidential campaign. she spoke at a gathering of thousands over the past weekend. >> we are not the crashers of today's democratic party. we are not a wing of today's democratic party, we are the heart and soul of the democratic party. >> gillian: throughout her speech, she didn't shy away as this prospect from a 22 and a run, in fact, she took the opportunity to outline her vision for the party in the future of the party. >> we are going to be the people who leave the democratic party back from the wilderness and lead our country out of this dark time. we can't waste energy arguing about whose issue matters mor

trump's approval rating has hit a new low, 34% according to gallup. but strong currents of support still throw through the republican electric -- electorate of alabama. in north carolina, here is james, democrat. caller: how are you today? host: fine, thank you. go ahead. caller: i'm trying to keep it short and to the point. i am literally shocked by the amountort i'm hearing -- of support i am hearing for confederacy and slavery and preserving a heritage of hate. i'm shocked by the people azis and theon right to speak. but i'm hearing all the hate from people on the right and on the television show this morning, and it is racism. you can say you are not racist, but if you support trump, you are racist. this man has given safe harbor s, the kkk, and white to premises. this man has equated these people to people protesting against hate. i'm completely blown away. host: let me ask you about the concept of statues. what do you think should be done with the statues that have come into question? what is the best thing for them. in north live here carolina,

gallup has him at 34%. >> dana: he was back to 36. >> juan: thank you for the news.said historic lows, now is time to pump things up. i don't understand, is of the case that just by saying i don't like cnn, i don't like the news, you somehow reassure your base that you're okay despite all the problems? >> greg: your matching the assumptions of an audience that a belief they can't trust a certain group of people, they are being told that they are idiots. cnn and other networks do make people feel like the decisions that they've made are bad. were with you, were not with them. >> kimberly: could steve bannon be next to go? mr. trump addressed the rumors about his age day who are these people? the energy conscious people among us say small actions can add up to something... humongous. a little thing here. a little thing there. starts to feel like a badge maybe millions can wear. who are all these caretakers, advocates too? turns out, it's californians it's me and it's you. don't stop now, it's easy to add to the routine. join energy upgrade california and do your thing.

gallup has him at 34 percent. >> 36. >> back to 36, thank you for the news. back to 36. for a president. he needs to pump things up. i don't understand, he can't say, i don't like cnn or the news and you reassure your base that everything is okay despite all the problems? >> your back to the assumption of an audience that they can't trust a certain group and they turn on the tv and being told they're idiots. cnn and other networks make people feel like the decisions they've made are bad. i think that's what that add is sayi -- ad is saying. >> top positions in the white house could see bannon next to go. trump made comments about him today. that's next. e. it's fine. because i get a safe driving bonus check every six months i'm accident free. because i don't use my cellphone when i'm driving. even though my family does, and leaves me all alone. here's something else... i don't share it with mom. i don't. right, mom? i have a brand new putter you don't even know about! it's awesome. safe driving bonus checks, only from allstate. sometimes i leave the seat up on purpose. s

so there's a gallup poll that came out a year or two ago that asked all working age americans that question, and 51% of them said they didn't think they would see a penny from social security. you can interpret that several different ways but it's shocking to see how little faith people have when they're planning for their own retirement how much they get. whether they actually believe that or symbolizing their lack of faith or mistrust the political system is up for questions. it was shocking to me it was that high a fig and i think that brings us to the excuse we'll have here today and look at social security's long-term sustainability and the financing structure, and how we do make a sustainable for the long run so it will be there in some shape or form, probably with modifications for when you all are in need and ready to claim benefit is. so i just wanted to start very brief live by letting everyone know about a commission we had at the bipartisan policy center that was called the commission on retirement security and personal savings. it was co-chaired by former senator kent conrad an

he's at 38% job approval rating in the latest gallup poll that came out today. in the president's tweets, he prefers to focus on crowd sizes at rallies like the one in west virginia, which was an area he won overwhelmingly. he focuses on those when the poll numbers aren't reflecting so greatly. >> thank you very much. we appreciate it. there's a lot to dissect. we are joined by our panel. alice, to you, what do you make of kellyanne conway say this? this is a very intelligent woman. she says, yes, the president's poll numbers are down in his party and we need to get them up? >> certainly, they can't deny the numbers, a lot of times they look at the bigger picture and the things on their agenda and what they are working on. clearly, foreign policy is taking center stage for this administration and for many in the world. they are looking at what they are able to do right now, which is, obviously, as we heard from nikki haley, joining the u.n. and sanctions on north korea, the president signing the legislation or signing on with congress to oppose sanctions with ru
