center attacks but if you watch the mainstream media at all maybe you have noticed as the folks at pew research certainly have coverage of the afghanistan war is limited to say the least and according to pew more than violence or events on the ground it is policy decisions in washington they create spikes in coverage so this would explain why in late two thousand and nine when obama announced he would be sending thirty thousand more troops to afghanistan covered spight it captured twenty seven percent of the mainstream media's attention in what was an anomaly and it also explains why we haven't heard as much sense when afghanistan has made it into the top five stories that pew research tracks on the mainstream media it captures three to five percent of their attention and that's when it registers at all and iraq i mean iraq's not even mentioned it doesn't even appear to be registering much of a blip at all anymore so for more or less ignoring the ten years of war that the us has been involved in and trying to make up for it in one day of coverage on the anniversary of the attacks that were terr

. >> oh, he certainly does because there is a new pew research poll out and matches up president obama against the generic republican opponent. and it ain't good for president obama. >> no. as a matter of fact, you look back to may where he had probably an 11-point difference over the republican generic candidate, which as the pew research people say is not really an indicative of anything except for the fact it's informative. but that's dropped down to three points. it was about a point difference a month ago. still among independent voters the key is there are about 1 in 4 independent voters who haven't decided to swing either way. that is where the battle probably is going to be fought. yes, the president needs to get his base up but he need to be looking at independent voters. that keeps raising the prospect of a third party candidate. there's been more and more talk about that and i think that will be interesting to watch over the next several weeks and months, carol. >> we'll see. tim farley, many thanks to you, host of "morning briefing" on sirius/xm radio. >> thank you. >>> wom

according to pew research center the median net wealth for black households is just about $5,700 comparedlds where the median net wealth is just over $113,000. so you think about the value of the house you own, you think about your main assets in life, michael, and there's still a tremendous -- i mean, there's a bigger gap certainly than income right now. income is getting much closer than wealth. >> yeah, the income is still a great disparity, but the wealth gap is stunning. >> it's tragic. >> it's a travesty of economic justice. and it shows you that the crisis in housing really led to the greatest bleed-off of black wealth in the history of this nation. and again, the question is will the obama administration respond as americans? african-american people, after all, are american citizens. so we understand the reluctance to target african-americans because of fear that the right wing will exploit any attention paid to african-american people as somehow some racial gerrymandering. but i think the reality is that 16.7% unemployment and this wealth gap suggests that there are targeted prog

. >>> meanwhile, according to a new poll out this week from the pew research center, 52% of american muslims believe members of their faith are singled out by the government for terrorist surveillance. and more than 40% said they personally experienced harassment in the past year. but despite that, the survey found no indication of increased alienation among muslim americans. a majority, 52%, said they are satisfied with the current direction of the country, compared to only 23% of the general public. >>>en years after 9/11, relations between muslims and non-muslims in the u.s. rema complicated. in many areas, tensions have been on the rise. there has been sharp controversy surrounding a proposed islamic center near ground zero. and, according to pew, proposed mosques in 36 other locations have also encountered community resistance. there's also been a growing debate over islamic religious law, or shariah. measures to restrict or ban the use of shariah have been introduced in nearly two dozen states. yet in other areas, the last ten yearsave brought a new spirit of dialogue and coope

too bad he's not running in israel but i think i think that there are you should contrast to a pew research center poll in the united states just last week which showed that among democratic voters fifty i think it was fifty seven percent or something like a democratic voters want the palestinians to act their state and only eighteen percent of democratic voters said no so i mean i think that you've got fertile ground among voters to essentially argue for justice for the palestinians however within the party system party system crew spits resources. lobbies lobby groups and interest groups that are extraordinarily pro posting it so are you saying that today isn't that the way the system is set up here in the united states that president obama just had no other option in terms of this isn't right and you know it's come as no surprise that those in favor of the security council approving the statehood you know bed say that the major reason that it should get done is because much of the world already recognizes palestine as a country of course many in israel say that the recognition of stateho

white households in america is twenty times greater than that of black households according to a pew research study in two thousand and nine white households own on average about one hundred thirteen thousand dollars worth of wealth mostly in housing and savings like one households on the other hand only about five and a half thousand dollars that's twenty to one a staggering wealth inequality strictly along racial lines and for hispanics it's not much better their average household wealth is one eight hundred that of whites and this inequality has actually gotten worse over the last twenty five years not better not only that blacks still are in about fifty seven cents of every dollar that whites are for hispanics and fifty nine cents and there's a variation on this called male privilege most women in the workplace can tell you all about and again white men are generally unaware of or totally in denial of. based on this data if the college republicans really wanted to show reality is that holding a bake sale with arbitrarily rigged prices they should sell muffins and pay their workers based o

and people aren't that upset anymore i mean to pew research shows that fifty four percent of people say it's not necessary to give up civil liberties in order to curb terrorism but that's not necessarily an overwhelming majority is this a new norm that people just accept in a post nine eleven world you know i hope not but you know a lot of those polls are misleading and by the way the reason that some of these rights are in our constitution is because they can't be taken away by a poll or even an election majority cannot decide to take away not only minorities race but even their own rights if it's in trying in the constitution and our founding fathers were incredibly smart about that unfortunately the fact your current leaders in the government where there was a bush administration or the obama administration of simply just de facto taking away some of those rights such is our right to be free of warrantless surveillance which is a fourth amendment but you know i'm afraid as as you're alluding to this some people growing up in this era don't get that you're not supposed to do warrantle

it's a pew research "washington post" poll showing americans have mixed feelings. 42% said the u.s. should recognize it as an independent nation. i point that out wondering what the republicans are doing jumping into this and wondering if they should stay out of it. what do you think? >> willie, obviously, the republicans sense weakness. the president's relation with israel have not been good. and i have, again, on this show, i have been critical of the way the president has handled america's relationship with israelis over the past 2 1/2 years. and i think for good reason. i think the republicans are overreaching and they're stepping into something they should be stepping into at this particular time. >> they certainly see a political opening. but what rick perry said, richard, that the president is giving equal sympathy to the palestinians and israelis, is there any fairness in that statement? >> no, i think it's made clear that there will be veto. the administration has created problems for itself. the initial of the emphasis just on trying to stop israeli settlement activity. ye

. >> here are the numbers just released by the pew research centers, internet and american life project at 2,277 online adults who are social media users between the ages of 18 and 39. 65% of those adults use online media, but what's really amazing is when you break it down by specific ethnicity, african-americans at the top of the use scale, 69%. hispanics and latinos come in a close second at 66%. what do these numbers say? what do they represent? >> i think what they represent is a kind of entrepreneurship in our public discourse. so one way to think of this is that as these demographics are changing in the country, as you have a more majority-minority population, then these voices that haven't had sort of the traditional routes into, for example, cable television news or radio, they use social media as a way to be entrepreneurial in news discussions, in arts and culture discussions. it's a way of being in control of one's own media sources. >> i would imagine there's also a certain appeal to the fact that, you know, that it's anonymous as well. >> well, i think what's beautiful abou

. >> i want to show our viewers a poll that was done by pew research. this is among israelis.question was do you approve or disapprove of president obama's handling of the israeli-palestinian conflict. not necessarily the u.n. only 29% of israelis approved of how the president's handling this. 64% of israelis disapprove of how the president is handling israeli-palestinian conflict. which side are you on, and why do 64% of israelis disapprove of the president of the united states? has he not been a huge ally? lots of money, lots of sharing of intelligence. right now he's standing between you and the u.n. why is it that israelis don't see him as helping? >> we've have some tactical differences about how to get to the two-state solution, but they've been tactical differences. those make a lot of press in israel and they make a lot of press here. but the fact of the matter is we're very much on the same page about where we need to get to. we need to get to a two-state solution based on a palestinian state living side by side with a jewish state in perm negligent and mutual peace a

>> well, actually, a study came out from the pew research center about a week and a half ago.ttom line is that most muslim-americans believe that there is no support for extremism with their community. more non-muslim-americans believe there is. clearly a chasm. >> muslim-americans believe there's no support for radical islam. very little support with the community. >> right. >>ed perception is there is? >> exactly. moreover, most muslim-americans are working tightly and very well with law enforcement agencies. so there is already one divide in terms of perception that needs to be bridged. i think the bigger issue here actually dylan is that since 9/11, even more so than in the days immediately following that horrible moment, fear has increased. and i think fear, not just among non-muslims towards muslims, but really especially among liberals on both sides. here's what i mean. liberal non-muslim, often afraid to ask questions about islam, because they fear being labeled islamfolds or bigots or racists for doing so. liberal muslims, like myself, are often afraid to just openly

a new study by the pew research center is showing that nearly one in three americans who grew up in the slipped down the income ladder as an adult. and those who were most vulnerable to this downward mobility shared some common qualities. personal finance expert and author of "the real cost of living" carmen wong ulrich is here to talk about this. a recent pew study now showing that the middle class upbringing doesn't really guarantee the same status over a lifetime. what do you think that the study came back with this data is showing in the larger picture? >> really interesting that the segment you just had on before really shined a light on it tremendously, after seeing where the job growth is. it's in fields that require an education. and it's more than the skills that were just required in a high school degree that was required in generations past. we had a solid middle class built on folks who had the high school degree. now the middle class is all about having that college degree. there's a huge gap. so we've seen a big drop and a lot of it based on education. >> when you use the

take a look at this poll done by pew research.ecurity is in this country. has social security been good or bad for the country? good or very good? 87%. you can't get people in this country to agree on what day it is by 87% to 11%. the question for candidate perry is, will he decide that he has to clean up his language a little bit? will he decide that he's got to back track a little bit? after all, as you point out, the language was strong and ponzi scheme unconstitutional. does he become a candidate who looks less awe thendic. that is how he is trying to sell himself does he continue to hope that the demographics are working to his advantage and younger voters will agree with him that social security is a lie and ought to be replaced with something else? they want their social security checks. let's not forget how important the elderly vote is. they vote in higher percentages in states where i am like florida or iowa. the younger voters and here's the question. monday night. nobody knows what's going to happen. will mitt romney g

social security, look at the recent poll done by the pew research center back in june.od or bad for the country? 87% think it's either been very good or good for the country. only a tiny number, 8% think it's been bad. 3% very bad. social security is very, very popular. people are concerned about the long time health of social security. they understand there are going to have to be some changes, some reforms. by and large, people deeply appreciate social security. mitt romney's got an issue he thinks he can play with going against rick perry who is arguably the front runner. if rick perry were to get the republican nomination, you got to believe that the president of the united states would salivate thinking he'll have an issue like social security to go after rick perry on in a general election down the road. this may have been a setback for rick perry, a, in his bid for the republican nomination, and b, if he does get the republican nomination, in a general election. he'll have a chance to fix the image he left last night and the image he left in his book monday night

a recent pew research poll found that 69 percent of pakistanis polled saw the u.s. as their enemy. u.s. defense officials tell us that they have presented evidence to the pakistanis that their intelligence service, the isi, was supporting the haqqani network, there were telephones found in the building from which insurgents attacked the u.s. embassy on september 13th with information on the phones that proved the link to the isi, we're told. the double game goes back to 2007 when major larry baugess was killed by a pakistani assassin while brokering a meeting in pakistan's tribal areas at the time, the u.s. military didn't make an issue of it because it didn't want to embarrass the pakistan government and harm relations. >> for him not to be here on this earth is very painful. and it's painful personally for us, but it's a shame, really, because, you know, the 82nd lost a great leader and the army lost a great soldier and the world lost a great man. >>e'll be tpofrd scared by one event that occurred and that was the assassination, and i don't have a better expression for it, of maj

households is 20 times that of black households and 18 times that of hispanic households according to a pew researchis of newly government available data from 2009. these lop-sided wealth ratios are the largest since the government began publishing such data in 1984 and roughly twice the size of the ratios that had prevailed between these three groups for the two decades prior to the great recession that supposedly ended in 2009. the median wealth of white u.s. households in 2009 was $113,149. compared to $5,677 for blacks and $6,325 for hispanics. the percentage of african-americans with no wealth has increased, about 35% of black households and 31% of hispanic households had zero or negative net worth in 2009 compared with 15% of white households. so while unemployment and the housing crisis similar pacting everyone, it is hitting minority communities the hardest. that is why we must continue to push. i'm so pleased that the president presented a huge opportunity to focus on job creation and so now the devil is in the details. it must be targeted. the public policies must take into consideration,

according to research from pew, they are less religious, less likely to have served in the military and could be the most educated generation in american history. but is this new tech-savvy generation cut out to compete in this rough job market? back with us, tamara draut, author of "strapped." and jean twangy, an author of "generation me." jean, wow, these kids are confident, entitled, raised in a fast-paced, rewards-based environment. are they cut out for this new job market? >> the good news is, of course, some of them are, some are hardworking and have realistic expectations. there is a reasonably large segment who grew up in this time of plenty when, you know, for their childhood they would just show p up and they got a trophy just for participating. they've really come to have these high expectations. what we found in the research, you look at baby boomers, general xors and the gen me, the biggest attitude difference is gen me says, i don't want to work, i want a job with vacation and overtime. they say they want the status and prestige and money. that's the problem. that's where

. -- a recent pew research poll. does this show a contradiction in u.s. policy?uest: i think it shows how they ask a question. you gotta polling that shows just about everything you want to get. i would have difficulty answering the question. if somebody says do you want a palestinian state. yes, i do, but i wanted to be negotiated between the peoples themselves, the israelis and palestinians. the united states and others can have a role in it, but circumventing the process, going to the u.n. and doing it unilaterally, that i would oppose. and i think if you ask the question that way and explain it completely you might get a different answer than the poll. host: also this poll showing that the public in america sympathize more with the israelis and palestinians. 40% say they sympathize war -- more with israel and just 10% sympathize more with the palestinians and 21% supplies with neither side and the rest express no opinion. guest: in some ways the tables would sound inconsistent. if you are considering the israelis are 40 to 10 with the palestinians and then on

the pull from the pew research center says that 97% of the american people, 97% can tell you where they were and what they were doing to with a first of the september 11 terrorist attack on the united states. people my age that a certain vintage can even remember december 7th, 1941 the day that the japanese attacked pearl harbor the assassination of president john f. kennedy is another one of those clear critical moments in american history. it is often said that 9/11 changed everything. maybe that is a bit of an exaggeration but it changed a lot. it was a defining moment in american history. most of you learn about 9/11 from television, radio and perhaps the telephone call of a parent or a friend alerting you'd the fact something dreadful has just happened in new york turn on your tv set it when you did you probably saw an anchor in part in some of the information and telling you what's been happening to read in a moment of national crisis and importance, the anchor helps knit the country together to creating a sense of shared experience, the one that dan rather once said who holds the

you can -- that's the -- pew research poll you were talking about, david. >> good, good.ee? you have written opinion pieces taking a more traditional view why our government is broken. >> right. absolutely. i'm not about to disagree with my friend and former professor. i think he has it exactly right. not just about getting government you deserve but the government you will tolerate and when you have this kind of gridlock, if there isn't a price to be paid for it, if you don't start replacing members of congress or taking it out of their hide, they are going to continue on their way and you are going to get exactly what you put up with. i think there are also other reasons that this comes to the forefront and there is this sort of mixed message, i think, people send to members of congress. on the one hand they say they want them to compromise. you can get a good pummeling out there if you are seen as too soft and too willing to compromise. look at the grief president obama is getting from the left because hay is seen as too quick to cave in to republicans, too quick to co

using that study that i have, and we have it to put up, pew, whatever the name of that research center is, the 2001, 2003 tax cuts responsible for $1.7 trillion. the iraq wars, apparently the stimulus and all that was only responsible for $700 billion of that. it's hard to listen to those folks and take them seriously because what it sounds like they're saying, "we need to stop spending when democrats are in charge, but when prince are in charge, we need to just do whatever we do." >> after 9/11, i forgot this and somebody sent me a copy. i went to the national press club on behalf of the administration and said, look how much spending was cut. if we're going to be in the war, then other priorities ought to be postponed for a while, and that's what harry truman did when we went into korea, what f.d.r. did when we went into world war ii, and it's very fair to say, republicans were in congress, i got nowhere with that argument. you're quite correct. the costs were added on. i'm just saying that when you look forward at the problems that alarm me, and i really believe should alarm every a

and according to the pew research study released in 2009, 1/3 of all nations containing 70% of the world's population severely restrict religious freedom. madam chair, i have more and i will just revise and extend. i want to thank, again, ms. ros-lehtinen and mr. berman and my good friend, mr. smith, and their staffs. i don't know what we would say to the christian community around the world and the baha'is and those concerned about the anti-semitism and buddhist community in tibet and the uighurs in china. they would say what's taking place in washington? why is this no longer an issue that this congress and this administration cares about? so i hope we would pass it. i think we should have a roll call vote. every member should stand up and explain what they are going to do. with that i thank the gentleman. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the gentleman from california. mr. berman: madam speaker, i have no further requests for time. if the other side is -- has other witnesses, i'll reserve the balance of my ti

a pole from the pew research center says that 97% of american people can tell you where they were and they first heard of the september 11 terrorist attacks on the united states. people my age, of a certain vintage, can even remember it december 7, 1941, the day that the japanese attacked pearl harbor. the assassination of president john f. kennedy is another one of those clear, critical moments in american history. it is often said that 9/11 changed everything. maybe that is a bit of an exaggeration, but it changed a lot. was a defining moment in american history. most of you learn about 9/11 from television, radio, or perhaps a telephone call alerting you to the fact that something dreadful had just happened in new york's, and to turn on your tv set. when you get, you probably saw an anchor importing some of the information and telling you what has been happening. in a moment of national crisis or importance, the anchor helps knit the country together, creating a moment of shared experience. dan rather once said the one who sourced through this hurricane of fact, rumor, misinformati

new research by the pew center and gallup shows the president's standing among latino voters is in steephigher taxes on millionaires, a democratic strategist who helped president clinton says that obama risks smashing apart that coalition from 2008. antonio villaraigosa is the mayor of los angeles and mark penn is the democratic strategist who sees huge risks in the president's calls for tax increase. mr. mayor, if we look back at the gallup poll, february 2009, the president had a 75% approval rating among latinos. a sky high number there. it is at the moment 48%. we talked to a member of the democratic national assembly. he says, "the president's challenge is credibility. he made promises about immigration and other issues that he didn't act on. he'll have to engage the latino community and convince them to give him another chance. he's got to get out of washington and into town hall meetings." in california maybe the president has a margin, but if we looked at nevada, colorado, florida, there are some states where latino voters could decide yea or nay in 2012. how steep is the preside

the first was that the pew research center which does all sorts of interesting survey is about anythingnder the sun did a survey of african-americans. varied toward the end of this survey finding was the following question and response. thirty-seven percentage of the black americans who were interviewed by pugh said they no longer believed black americans could be thought of as a single race. i said, wow, that is a really we're finding. there was no kind of backup to say check what that meant, but i said to my you know, that seems to fit into what i have been thinking, and a think it is probably -- i think it means something, but that on budget what it means. second thing that happened was that a group of black publishing executives from the african-american press run the country or in washington for a meeting, and there were invited here, invited to the "washington post" for reception. i was asked to deliver a few remarks at this reception, kind of a drive by greeting, five minutes, hello, how are you, welcome to washington. you can guess the charlie outside. see you later. so i went d

research. we had cooperation from your friends at pew as well as mike's former company. but the generational cycles that we have used to predict the outcome of the 2008 election when we wrote a book in 2007 are just as applicable to how they change society. every 80 years, we have this enormous debate, one we're in the middle of right now, that tears the country apart about what kind of government we should have, what civic ethos we should have. in every case from the revolutionary war to the civil war to the new deal this kind of generation has come along and provided the country the directional guidance it needs. amongst this generation we're going to see people as powerful in their adulthood as the founding fathers, some of our founding fathers and members of the g.i.generation. >> woodruff: that's quite a prediction. in my case, what about voting behavior and their view of politics? we know this generation went overwhelmingly for the democrat, barack obama in 2008. what does it look like they're thinking now? >> they are still leaning democratic. maybe not quite as s
