according to gallup polling, pat, what do you think about this. hillary clinton's camp said she's got an edge. because for the first time, according to this it looks like the nation is about equally and socially liberal as it is socially conservative. does that give hillary clinton an advantage or do you even believe this? >> well i'm not sure i believe it. i think it's still probably more conservative but what is irrefutable, social messages do not matter to voters right now until the press presses republicans to get them on that issue as it serves as outriders of the democratic party. hillary has other problems here. we saw some -- i wouldn't overly describe it as great focus group stuff. but we heard democrats this week on the air in iowa saying well we have to vote for hillary. we can't consider these scandals because republicans might win. we have gone from a country, we have gone from a country there was a melting pot into a country that is tribed. my tribe first, country second. the minute that gets challenged among democrats, the minute th

now, i'm looking at the poll from gallup, it says a vast majority of americans are morally acceptingst majority. a vast majority accept sex before marriage between an unmarried man and an unmarried woman and they are let ter row sexual, i don't even know what the issue is on that. so i think that's a big factor. but i think this poll represents trouble for the republican party because only 5%, bill, identify themselves as very conservative on social issues. so i'm trying to figure out how is it a good business model for all these republican candidates to try to portray themselves as the most conservative candidate in the bunch. >> that's a primary play in iowa. that's an iowa play. but, look, the reason that you are seeing more acceptability of certain behaviors, a decline of religion. it goes hand in hand. >> right. i agree. >> look, my parents' generation and their parents, they were much more religious. and they were much more accepting of the doctrines of this is what you do, this is what you don't do, that's gone. it's gone in most precincts now. so you are seeing corresponding

controversies started of coming up against her back in the 1990s. 18 of the past 21 years according to the gallup pollamericans she is the most admired woman in the world. so what that tells me is that yes these questions looming out here and she will have to handle them as best she could and frankly i think she is doing pretty well. the public is actually able to look beyond that and see her for the quantities that she has. >> i am one of the most admired men in the world you can't go by that. >> congratulations. >> what i'm trying to say maybe that is not a good barometer here. mr. grimaldi i will let you wrap it up. the american public is going to get what they deserve. i don't think they thought out barack obama. i was hoping he would do well. i was one of the 70 percent after he was first elected that said, look, he won fair and square, i wish him well. he hasn't done well by the american worker, the median income is down. it's down significantly. so, if the americans go to the poll and they elect somebody with a 25% trustworthiness, don't they get what they deserve if she wins? >> well, i'm not

the latest gallup poll put it at a8% of parents have a negative view. only 19% favor it. they say it makes though sense, it forces teaching to the test. they say kids are in tears over it. are they wrong? >> common core means a lot of things to different people so they could be right based on what is in front of them. i respect people having a view but the simple fact is we need higher standards. they need to be state driven the federal government should play no role in this either in the creation of standard content or curriculum. >> how are you going to get right with the gop base on this since they feel so overwhelmingly against it. >> i'll tell people what i think which is high standards are better than low standards and show them the record in florida where we led the nation in terms of learning gains because we had -- we ended social promotion. we had the most dynamic school choice programs in the country. >> immigration is another potential sticky issue for you in the gop base. >> that's what i heard. >> and you told our own shannon a long time ago it's not a felon

a recent gallup poll shows that almost 60% of our citizens view foreign trailed as an opportunity. not a threat. and here's the reason: the u.s. market is one of the most open markets in the world. and our environmental and labor standards are among the highest in the world. that's why we actually have so much to gain and nothing to lose by reaching deals that lower barriers and raise the norms of business behavior so that our businesses can actually wind up selling more in other places. now consider that small and medium-sized businesses, which are the backbone of the american economy by the way they face a unique set of challenges when they're trying to increase exports. for example health enterprises in north attleboro massachusetts, ships consumer health care items to more than 60 countries. but it's hurt by bureaucratic issues such as costly re-registration process in the event u. -- e.u. the seattle-based cascade designs company exports outdoor equipment, recreation equipment but it faces high tariffs in tpp countries. an agreement would change that. endisableing both -- enab

a gallup poll recently found the majority of americans disapprove of government surveillance programs. the poll found that 53% of adults nationally felt that the programs went too far, and only about one third of americans felt that the programs were worthwhile. about 10% of americans had no opinion. this broke down on party lines. 40% of democrats disapproved while 49% of approved. for republicans, the split was opposite, the majority believe that the program should be discontinued. our next caller is phoebe from pennsylvania. you believe the program should be ended. caller: the thing is i cannot understand how these people are calling again and saying that if you don't have anything to hide, then it is fine. everybody has some ink to hide let's be honest about it. i think we should get rid of all of these programs, and also the drones flying ahead. host: do you think there's any way to reform the program or rated in? all right, we will move on to joe from columbia, south carolina. you believe the program should be ended, why is that? caller: because i think it could be used as circu

american people are starting to catch on and that's why i'm not surprised that, as i mentioned, the gallup poll that was released just last march concluded -- quote -- "the current level of worry on environmental issues remains at or near record lose. and among those concerns on the environment issue, global warming is second to last. what americans do care about is is," according to the same poll, "is the economy federal spending and the size and power of the federal government." the disintegrating case for climate alarm coupled with the american public that is quickly losing interest does not pan well for the president's climate agenda or his self-acclaimed environmental legacy. climate alarmists have spent just as much energy, if not more convincing the world that it is bad to be a skeptic of what was once referred to as global cooling then became global warming. it is now global climate change. the tenets of the global climate change religion, can't withstand the scrutiny of the merits primarily because it is the result of political design and not scientific revolution. and that's why anyon

gallup has a new poll out, studied the meaning of memorial day in communities across the country. 38%f american house hold have a loved one serving in the armed forces but that jumps in rural communities around bases and counties with large native american populations. there folks are much more likely to focus on remembering fallen service members than spending it outdoors at family gatherings. >>> a lot of folks are firing up the grill for this memorial day holiday. but before you start it the department of agriculture has safety tips to keep in mind. first, never marinade food on the counter. use separate plates and utensils for raw foods and everything that's cooked. when grilling meat use a thermometer to check the internal temperature. chicken and ground meats need to reach 165 degrees. finally, store any leftovers within two hours after you're done. they'll last about four days in the fridge. >>> next at 4:00 the fight to save a local memorial to world war ii soldiers. why a lawsuit was filed to tear it down. there are a lot of channels on your tv but only so many you want to wa

gallup has a poll that took a look in march at americans' thoughts on climate change.hey were asked about their beliefs and if the effect of global warming was already happening. 55% saying the effects had begun. 33% saying never have made the gun or not in the lifetime did they see effects of climate change. comment from richmond, virginia believes severe weather is caused by natural causes. tell us what you think that. caller: north america is not doing what it is supposed to do to help its people. so therefore, my belief is that god is doing this to north america. when we look at all the natural causes around the world -- i'm a great believer and i and a religious person -- we have to change as a nation of people. if we do not change, we will have to look for signs that god already has told us what is going to happen if we do not do what is possible. martin luther king has already said, if we do not live up to our culture of who we are, we as a people will suffer. this is just the beginning. the seasons are the most important thing. god gives you four seasons. now t

and the polling showed at the time -- this is 2002 -- the gel gallup said at that time, of all the environmental keynes, the number one was global. last march there was a poll that came out from gallup and it was next to the last. it was down out of some 20 different environmental concerns. so the people have realized that this largest tax increase in the history of america if it were to take place it's not going to solve a problem and a problem really that doesn't exist to the extent that it's been represented. now today i want to -- there is they're still debating this. i want to bring people up to date on where we are now on the whole -- the fact that climate change is not based on hard evidence and observations but rather a set of wishful beliefs, well-scripted dialogue of president obama and the environmental alarmists intended to scare the american people into accepting this thing that would be so devastating economically to america. the other day a good friend of mine lamar smith from the house -- i like lamar. he and i were elected actually the same day many years ago. lamar is the chair
