let me go to luke. luke, you've done a held of a job in introducing us to congress. it's amazing the personalities we've gotten to know. the faces that they've seen, they don't seem to like. i was surprised at the 82% kis approval number. these numbers are historic, who don't they like on the hill? pelosi, cantor, boehner? >> reporter: the last congress which many folks thought was the most productive congress in 30 years had historic disapproval numbers. that's carried into this new one. what you've seen is a continual wave of changing, changing, we don't like the status quo. we want to get rid of them. i would argue the point if you were to poll any of those folks, pelosi, boehner, cantor they would have more of a disapproval than an approval. the last time around nancy pelosi had 80% approval amongst independents. if possible if speaker boehner could get there? certainly by this congress terrible if these numbers go forward. i think what people are upset about is this one specifically looks -- it appears to be doing nothing. what you're going to see from this cong

luke russert joins us from capitol hill. luke, people all over the country are probably saying, again? what are they thinking? >> reporter: that's right, andrea. and all this week leading up to this there were statements from eric cantor and john boehner saying we don't want a government shut down. we went through that road. that was hurtful for them, if you saur our own poll, 82% disapproval of congress a lot of people feel that's because there's this talk of shutdown. when john boehner said on this issue, he lost 48 republicans on a government funding bill, that is very normal. he put blame on democrats, i thought i had a bipartisan deal and democrats would vote for this. democrats did not like this particular bill because it cut 1.5 from president obama's green jobs car initiative. for the first time they came together as a collective whole and kind of checkmated the republicans and said, if you want to go to a shutdown over fema funding, which is that green jobs program as an offset of that, we're more than happy to do i

nbc's luke russert joins us from the hill. there was a vote and it went down. luke, harry reid is now saying perhaps we'll go back to it on monday and have a cooling off period over the weekend. >> reporter: that was harry reid's message just a few minutes ago saying that he himself, mitch mcconnell, as well as nancy pelosi and john boehner should meet over the weekend to figure out a bipartisan solution to what is this impasse and really it has to do with this offset. the government runs out of money on september 30th. congress is slated to go home after today's business. the jewish new year starts on wednesday. a lot of these congressman have trips they have planned and fundraisers and none of them want to come here on monday but that looks to be what will happen specifically why? there's an offset in the house bill to fund the government for more disaster relief funding that would hurt a jobs program that democrats see as very important which is a loan to car companies to develop green technology from the federal government. that's what's holding this up. re

luke russert joining me from capitol hill. luke, what's going to happen here?'s quite an amazing story here, greg. around 2:00 p.m. the senate committee that's in charge of how the post office operates is going to hear some testimony from the postmaster general. he's expected to say look if it goes at the current rate of the u.s. postal service they won't be able to operate much past the winter and the summer months. they have a $9.2 billion deficit on their hands. much of the reason because of such new technology that's taken over. email has taken a lot of business away from the u.s. postal service and some things they need to do. there's some changes they want to put forward. end saturday delivery, slash up to 120,000 jobs, close up to 3700 branchs. it's interesting a lot of people think that the government runs the postal service. the government gives no money to the postal service. the government has some laws in place about how the postal service has to operate. a lot of small state rural state senators want the postal service to be able to operate within

and who could blame them. >> first of all, we head to nbc's luke russert on capitol hill. the president's disapproval rating has 51%, congress even worse. 82% disapproval. what kind of resounding message is this going to send to the rested members of congress who are now back from their vacation? >> reporter: i also think with this poll, thomas, the most amazing number in there is that over 50% of americans would vote to replace every single member of congress. all 535 of them. that is something, talking to folks here on capitol hill, is resonating to a degree. now there is a line to go to for a lot of members of congress saying, americans hate congress in a collective poll but love their individual congressmen. proving not to be necessarily so true as we saw wave elections from '06 all the way through 2010. now, as far as what congress needs to garner a better approval rating. the idea, honestly, thomas, put some way of looking like they're working together. politically, that's not -- that's not tangible plt best in congress, a lame duck session where they looked like the

joining me is luke russert, and luke, i'm curious how -- i guess that the members of the senate are processingheir work that really needs to be done. i mean, these numbers could not be more clear. >> they couldn't, tamron. and one thing that is popular up here on capitol hill is that members will say, well, that folks around the country, they hate congress, but they love the individual member of congress, and that last stat that you mentioned says that is not true, and this is going on with the wave we are seeing in 2006 which is really much this get the bums out mentality. it does resonate here in both houses of capitol hill, and especially the folks in the swing districts and can go either way, and the lowest approval rating for congress taken in the poll history is 82% of the americans disapproved of the job that congress is doing. the main question to be answered in november, tamron, is the house gop approach of stopping the obama agenda entire ly and putting up a brick wall there means that the congress is the least productive in getting legislation through both bodies and it is that we w

. >> luke russert joins us live from capitol hill. what are the sticking points on the house bill for the democrats who control the senate? >> reporter: all right, here. take the people through this process, tom. essentially, the government runs out of money september 30th. congress needs to appropriate money to get congress from september 30th to november 18th. in order to do that, they're not fighting about how much money the government's going to spend, like there is in the past. they're fighting now specifically about disaster relief, and how much will go into funds to replenish accounts that fema so desperately needs. fema runs out of money monday evening, is expected to. in order to have the funds put in fema's k9, republicans want an yuf set. take off about a billion dollars a green jobs loan program, that costs about a billion, as i mentioned. democrats say, no, no, no. that's a job creator. we don't want to do that. we should not be paying politics with fema money. that's what the fight is over now. republicans holding up a g
