good morning to you both. >> good morning. >> i wanted to start with what jake just reported. republicans calling for the economic team to be kicked out of the white house. look at the numbers this morning. a new poll out by the associated press, shows that 56% of americans disapprove of the president's handling of the economy. not terribly surprising. but what is the next set of numbers. the republicans haven't gained anything with the economy. 45% still trust democrats on the economy. 43% trust republicans. why haven't they been able to gain ground here with the president in trouble? >> the interesting thing, when republicans are relatively even, they will usually have a good day at the polls on election day. this is why i think what boehner did was a little dicey. you don't want to get in a washington republican fight versus the president. you want to get in an economic fight versus the president. and the more you bring washington republicans in it, who have lower ratings than the president, it's problematic.

>> seems to be an irony in there somewhere, jake. let me put up that poll number again. because that's really surprising. support of same sex marriage, now 52% in this country. how does it break down republican-democrat? >> reporter: well, in the latest abc news poll, it showed a big partisan divide, about 67% of democrats support same sex marriage. only 32% of republicans. but the key in watching polls, diane, is not the number, but is the trend. where the numbers are going. and for democrats, republicans and independents, they are all moving towards supporting same sex marriage by double digits just in the last four years. >> okay, jake tapper reporting from martha's vineyard tonight. thank you, jake. >>> and "on the money" tonight, all those nerves about housing and jobs weighed on wall street. for the first time in almost two months, the dow closed below 10,000, down 74 points. and now attention is riveted on a major speech tomorrow by federal reserve chairman ben bernanke. some economists are expecting that he will announce new action to help the ailing economy. >>>

jake jacobs. >> hi, my name is jake jacobs. i am a dance instructor. also a musician. i've been doing this for about as long as it's been open, about 16 years. i want to speak to two levels, one an aesthetic level. i want to reinforce what ms. dalton was saying, that there aren't that many venues for latin music and dance. everybody likes latin music and dance. this young lady can attest o'. the crowd that attends, there's very -- rarely any problem i don't think i've ever witnessed a problem either. basically there to dance and they don't drink that much. it's not a very profitable business in some ways. taking that away will hurt many, someone speak in favor for keeping it in open for that reason. on a practical level, the port has made public statements that this is a public safety issue. i don't think it's the port's responsibility to take vengeance upon this tragic death. joey's in a very expansive area. i would say it provides more security now than anybody else. you know, there's no people patroling the parking lot. it can't be responsible for every bit of area

. >> so, let's bring in jake tapper now. he's traveling with the president on martha's vineyard for the vacation. jake, tell us, is he going to go into campaign mode when he gets back on jobs? >> reporter: no, you might think, after a week like this, he would, but no. and there's two reasons for that. one, he has a very busy week with a lot of other top priorities. on sunday, he'll be giving a speech for the fifth anniversary of hurricane katrina. on tuesday, his big speech about iraq, a primetime address commemorating the withdrawal of u.s. combat troops. and then wednesday/thursday, mideast peace process. negotiations between the israelis and palestinians. the administration, the white house, said they know the president needs to say something about the economy, but right now, they're not sure what that would be and the venue it would take. >> but aren't members of his own party saying, go to jobs, get back on jobs? >> reporter: that's right. a lot of pressure from democrats on capitol hill, up for re-election, especially,

jake tapper is with the president on martha's vineyard. good morning, jake.saw wall street react positively from the statements by fed chief, ben bernanke. on wall street and main street, what moves will the president make? >> reporter: that's right. it's not just the anemic growth of gdp, as you mentioned. it's bad news this week, when it comes to jobless claims and home sales. storm clouds brewing up as the president finishes his vacation here in beautiful martha's vineyard. as the president took to the links to golf with new york city mayor mike bloomberg on friday, the two told reporters they spent time in the clubhouse talking about the economy. earlier, the whole financial world was listening to fed chair ben bernanke, in jackson hole, wyoming. he said the economy is slowing. but, quote, at this juncture, the committee has not agreed on specific criteria for triggers for further action. what to do? what tools are still in the government's arsenal? >> it's not like there's any silver bullets. i mean, this thing that every american needs to hear is we hav

preparing to fight the taliban which was then takes up by jihadi website so our afghanistan veteran jake deliberate oh what he thinks of the story and if u.s. troops do come under pressure to hold christian beliefs and is the latest medal of honor a video game is said to be released some people are up in arms the one of the options is to play as the taliban all chat with churchill about this game to see if it is just a game or if it's simply too offensive also we'll tell you about a group of faces discrimination when it comes to employment the transgender community will hear it firsthand from one person about the difficulties the transgender transgenders face in today's society and it's friday so we're doing a mash up of the week's events bill o'reilly takes on jennifer aniston and a new poll shows that americans find an affair more offensive than capital punishment so we're going to get comedian stephen smith two cents on that issue but now let's move on to today's top story. in the world is the world's youth going to be a lost generation all the international labor organization decided

but jake tapper tells us there's mrentdty of reporters to liven things up. >> reporter: the vacationersnd residents of martha's vineyard has welcomed the obamas with giddiness. with banners heralding the president's accomplishments. with t-shirts, yes, we candy and rocky road fudge. and the obamarita. 76% of the folks here on martha's vineyard voted for the president. so, even if he'sar in your neck of the woods, he remains a rock star on this progressive island. the wind and rain swept in sunday and have been relentless. knocking out power in some parts of the island. not to sorry, the president tells us. the first family is safely ensconced at the blue heron farm. an estate that the first family rented, at a cost of up to $50,000 a week. the obamas hit the aptly-named sweet life cafe, where the president had the new pasta appetizer with lobster and tenderloin. >> they're having a great time, actually. the rain has not dampened spirits there. they're playing board games. >> reporter: a customer shot this at a local bookstore. but there's few imageses of the first vacationers. it's almo

[applause] >> i remember then that chair jake mcgoldrick saying to the mayor in an early speech that he jogged every morning under those drives. he said, "do not job under the structure. you never know what could happen." [laughter] we get now to the point here where people are too cold and we need to wrap up quickly, but we still have a couple more speakers. let me very quickly acknowledge, as the mayor said, and echoing his words, the incredible work of the people that are actually delivering this project on the ground. most of them do not freeze because they are actually moving around when they are at the construction site. others are moving around and beating the bushes in other places, particularly finding local and minority-owned, small and disadvantaged businesses. they need to be part of the reality of both the stimulus and the rehabilitation of the entire infrastructure in this country. they are the future. they are the reality today in this project as well. i want to take a quick second to a knowledge paul prendergast and his team, the tremendous job they have done in findi

another new stopping terrorist and stemming the flow of drugs that's what the leaders of afghanistan to jake and pakistan together with russia agreed upon at a summit in sochi but mideast expert james denselow thinks there is a chance that afghanistan could become a source of cooperation between russia and the u.s. . i think russia is strengthening strengthening its presence in the world in the last few years and i think it's interesting that afghanistan a country which for ten years in the one nine hundred eighty s. was a source of conflict between the two is now a source of potential cooperation between ties with a remarkable group between moscow and washington they both have exactly the same issues that whether it's drug trafficking all islamic radicalism so i think it's very much a case of russia leading its own initiative to improve security in its own at least a neighborhood that the u.s. can take enough to support i find it almost incredible to think that the americans say that countering the narcotics in afghanistan isn't part of its mission if we look at the the size of the amount o

frustration that many months provides of having because there doesn't really seem to be in this site jake mentioned the flare ups with the fires that seem to be more firefighters make in advance of the more fires come about and so you have the weather that are that stoking and has started these fires and we don't know when the end is going to calm because the drought is still here there's no rain in the forecast and there's more projections for high temperatures now and it's really not a prediction the big wide open border they wake up this morning in moscow and indeed across all russia all right now many thanks to you both that was also stacy bivins reports from the center for capital for us and. grieves in the mosque a region. but it was so focused now on the situation around that nuclear power station in the town of sod off which jacob mentioned and with me now is said again another call from. the russian state said g company which operates the facility and the local what's been done to secure the site all facilities so that there is no risk to the plods. part well first of all let me

jake, i know you saw this. he says, fortunately, that's not true.s isn't a recovery in any sense that matters. and policymakers should be doing everything they can to change that fact. but, jake, with historic interest rates at all-time lows and that massive stimulus package, what does the white house believe it can do at this point? >> reporter: well, they do believe, david, that what they can do is limit it. there's a $30 billion small business lending initiative that they've been pushing in congress. but there's really only so many days on the congressional schedule, before the end of the year. and so much appetite for new spending programs on congress. they will continue to work for programs such as the small business lending initiative, to get it passed. also, reducing capital gains. eliminating capital gains for alles. and there are people in the white house who are hoping that bernanke's speech today will b blesuresand do what so far the white house has not been able to do. and that is re-instill confidence in the market and the >> all right.

and jake tapper joins us from martha's vineyard, where the president is vacationing. good morning. >> reporter: july was a flatout awful month in home numbers. the worst numbers in 15 years. we learned that sales of existing homes plummeted 27% from june to july. and today, we're expecting more bad news when it comes to the results of sales of new homes. with the tax credit for first-time homebuyers gone, so are buyers. >> it's a terrible number for the housing market. it gives you an accurate reflection of what housing demand looks like when you're not paying people to buy homes. >> reporter: check out this map of pain. in poughkeepsie, a home has lost 25% off its peek. in riverside, california, overall values are down almost 52%. in cleveland, the last time home prices were at this level was 2000. it's as if the last decade never happened. some economists say the era of homes being a sure investment is over. >> there's no iron law that says that home prices have to appreciate. >> reporter: 18 months ago, the president unveiled a housing program he said would help 3
