the president's own standing in that quinnipiac poll. 37% approval. 56% disapprove.81% support among republicans. that's good, but it's down from 91% two weeks ago. so that, if you are the president, and you didn't win the popular vote and you know your coalition is to keep your base together, if you are donald trump and his political team you have to look at that number and say, whoa, we need a win. >> big time. more importantly, they can't afford to lose. and a lose of such monumental proportion as the key promise that swept republicans into -- into the mairmgity in the house starting back in the tea party, you know, fight of 2010 and then on and on and on until the white house now. obviously there were lots of other factors but the promise to do this was front and center. the problem is that you have, as we were talking about the freedom caucus who were in the white house right now, then you have ileana rossalaten in from south florida. i saw her yesterday. any chance you can change? no. the only regret she has is that she can only vote no once because she's so mu

and you see the evidence of that in the quinnipiac poll.believe he would have gotten -- if he had gotten rid of his tweets and just tried to stick to the truth with a lot of humility, i think his popularity now would be much higher, and i think he would have health care in a breeze tomorrow. but i do think his lack of credibility now is beginning to cut into his capacity to get other things done. >> this quinnipiac poll about his honesty -- dishonesty, 60%. >> that's an astonishing number. >> jack, did you -- >> yeah. i just want to point out some of the previous presidents, okay, not only can you keep usual own health care plan, which we knew to be a lie. president obama said 90% of the budget deficit due to george w. bush's policies. the day after -- >> which is a lie. >> yeah, it is a lie. this is all pretty pinocchio fact check. the day after benghazi happened, i acknowledged that this was an act of terrorism. he did not do that. i did not call the islamic state the j.v. team. this is barack obama. over the past eight years, no foreign

look at the quinnipiac poll. 17% approve of the gop plan. disapprove, 56%.would have wanted. changing it again and more uncertainty is even less popular. that is the bottom line politic politically. >> 56% disapproving of the replacement plan. more than 60% disapprove of how donald trump is handling it all together. people are frustrated. including people who voted for donald trump with what they see him doing to what they think is take away their health care. >> greg, when i hear conservatives talk about republican welfare expansion, what is it the ultra conservatives want to see about het health care in america? what is the view? >> the ultra conservatives don't want government involved in health care. they would like to cut way back. they have a long history of demanding 99% of what they want. it's a major reason why john boehner is now retired. they are so rigid and inflexible. the next story we will talk about, all four of us, is the debt ceiling. they will not vote to raise the debt ceiling and we will have a crisis on that. there are very, very i intr

new quinnipiac poll shows 66% support for an independent commission investigating possible trump camp-russia ties. now eli, i know that white house staff spends their day trying to tell the news media how smart they are off the record. but it seems that their position has not yet outsmarted the american public. 2/3 of which want what the white house doesn't want. >> right. and remember back to last friday, donald trump was livid and yelled at his senior staffers after jeff sessions recused himself. well, polling today showed that americans wanted jeff sessions to recuse himself. they don't trust the trump administration's justice department, and they don't trust these very partisan republicans on the intelligence committees on capitol hill to carry out an independent investigation. and that's partly the fault of this white house that thought it was a good idea to employ devon nunes as sort of a surrogate when fbi director comey couldn come to thr defense and speak publicly, they trottedutunes saying this is a good idea. he can speak to this. he has been briefed. and it shows the degree to wh

and eli, our next segment is about health care and the backdrop to our next segment is the new quinnipiac poll tonight. this president is at 37% popularity. >> that's the lowest since he's taken office. correct? i mean, this is not going well. and i think they can try to paper over it as much as they want, but there is some awareness. they won't let on publicly but they know this is not going well. they're trying to do everything they can to sell the health care bill to get the votes to get it through the house. we'll talk about that coming up. everything that is a heavy lift feels like it's that much heavier because this administration can't get out of its own way. donald trump can't not wake up in the morning and tweet something that turns into a month-long, perhaps months-long problem and investigatn. they're just creating more messes for themselves. what they're realizing is even without doing that, governing is pretty difficult. >> as we said, another break. >>> when we come back, we will talk about what sean spicer said today. no plan "b." just this health care bill. he vowed the pr

the release from quinnipiac, which says "american voters disapprove 56-17 with the health plan with 26% undecided". so to your point, it all depends, perhaps, if you believe the polling that's out there, who do these members want to face more? an angry president or their angry constituents? >> well, that's a good point. and, of course, the characteristics of this american health care act are such that they would hit very hard. a lot of the core trump voters. so look, the safe vote for any member of congress on something highly controversial, especially something that is being whipped together at the last minute, they don't have a score on, the safe vote is always to vote no. because then you're not going to be responsible for what happens. so i would guess that in the end they put it up for a vote and it goes down. they say they want to vote before members have to go home for the weekend. so if that's the case, i think the prospects are difficult. now, you know, we'll see. how -- what do they have to give away to get the votes and can they still get to 215? i think it is doubtful at

37% approval rating in the quinnipiac. do people on the hill start saying i'm going to take care of myself. i have to run in two years. >> to me this is the conundrum that i think everybody's in, inside that house republican conference right now. i think there is a chance voting against him is a fatal blow. there is a chance that pushing this bill through is a fatal blow in a different way. this is pick your political poison. what is going to be harder to explain to your constituents. charlie dent's answer, a moderate from pennsylvania, may be different than mark meadows answer, a conservative from north carolina, and that's what i do think we may see, even with this vote if it does go through, which is every member has to do what's in their own best interests for their constituents, and guess what? that may be different. >> if you're in the freedom caucus how do you ignore the cbo's score, shows this would save half as much money in deficit reduction. . >> the new change they made -- >> worse. >> -- it it wipes out any de

. >>> newly released quinnipiac university poll find majority of the voters disagree with president trump's claims that certain news organizations are the enemy of the american people. of those surveyed 58 percent of americans voters disagree with the president, 39 percent agree, when asked who they trust more to tell the truth about important issues, 53 percent of voters said they trusted media, 37 percent said they trusted president trump. >>> housing and urban development secretary ben carson is clarifying his comments on slavery and immigration. he made the original comments in his first address to hud employees. >> other immigrants who came here in the bottom of the slave ships worked even longer , harder for less. >> that remark drew a lot of criticism, one historian called doctor carson's comments quote inappropriate and wildly inaccurate. later carson clarified his remarks on armstrong williams radio talk show. >> when are legal or illegal you come from outside or inside you are a immigrant. slaves came here as involuntary immigrants, but they still had to have the strength to hold

the quinnipiac poll showing -- to a certain extent, this thing was dead on arrival even before they pulled the vote on friday. >> what does it tell us about the president's ability to govern at this stage, whether he has managed at this point to put together, if you like, a coalition that allows him to get things done. one of the things that was most striking is -- that he really didn't understand that making deals in real estate was going to be different than making political deals. really. who knew? very few presidents are defeated on their signature piece of legislation right out of the box. i would think that republicans are looking around and the daggers are all out. one of the things they have to realize is that donald trump's deal-making skills are perhaps not transferrable that he was not the closer when it came to the big promise that they've been making for seven years. >> in terms of getting everything done, for every concession made to the hard line freedom caucus, it then pushed away moderates. here's what paul ryan said friday. >> moving to an opposition party -- we're feelin

. >> let's look at the poll from quinnipiac university, only 37% approve of his job performance, compared to 56% that disapprove. and then this morning he goes on the attack on the members of the freedom caucus, with that low of an approval rating, is that smart? >> he needs to have some sort of letting tiff victory, or some other situation that takes the focus off of this failure. the problem for him is that he's expended so much of his political capital trying to get the american health care act passed and it failed. now when he calls members personally, when he invites them to the white house residence, brings them to the oval office in the next legislative battle, it will be less effective because he's done it before and he wasn't able to get that legislation into the end zone. now they're going on to something that should be easier, tax reform, giving tax cuts to american families, you would think that would be an easier sell to senate republicans, and that's going to be an even more difficult battle because his clout on the hill has been diluted by this loss. >> and tax reform was s

. >> quinnipiac has in the latest poll he's at about 60% of people not believing he's true. professor, it takes us to the same point. michael's interview is illustrative of a proposition. trump does this because he thinks it works for him. in fact, it has worked up to this point. when he was doing birtherism, it wasn't because he wanted to be president, it played on pep's want for conspiracy. it made him relevant. he's doing the same thing now. what does history suggest this leads to? >> what it suggests is that the press has over estimated him. many people thought once he became president, he would pivot, change, recognize the sheer power of being in the oval office and be able to get real intelligence information. he didn't have to just play on intuition and whim. alas he's been unable to modify himself. candidate trump is president trump. these miss stapts catch up with you. this week he said the ryan care plan is going to pass, he's got the votes. we're going to find out today, tomorrow morning. we'll be talking about whether the earlier comment this week was true or not

americans are charged with perjury at times, lying before congress much, much safer. 2007 article from quinnipiact no one is prosecuted for lying to congress. senior editorf slate and christina greer at fordham university, political science. let's start with the reason. it is harder to prove perjury than just a note that someone said something false. >> well, i think you -- it goes to the core that you said at the very beginning. we have been kind of defining truth down with lightning speed. and i think now there's this real question of intent. and even for a perjury charge or for "the new york times" alleging that someone lied, the question is, if we can't prove that someone intended to lie, then it's not a lie. and i think that more and more we're living in a world where we can never show intent. the popular rhetoric is we don't know what's in his head, in his heart. and so nobody lies. >> you put that so interestingly. you were describing, very precisely, the costanza defense. >> right. i think i'm even describing -- you may remember last week when folks were being called upon to defend donald

quinnipiac university poll find 63 percent of voters believe the level of the hatred has increased in the country since november 8th. 2 percent said level has decreased. 32 percent believe level of hatred and prejudice remained unchanged since the election of president trump. >>> congressional leaders asked justice department to send them evidence that might support president trump's claim that president obama ordered wiretaps at trump tower during the presidential campaign. the president is pressuring congress to look into his allegations as part of their investigation into russia. republican senator lindsey graham and democratic senator shell den whitehouse teamed up for more information, they have asked fbi director james comey to hand over any warrant applications and court order related to wiretaps of president trump, trump campaign or trump tower. >> if there is no warrant, that is something we need to know. if there was a warrant, i need to understand why one was issued. president trump has alleged something very seriously. we will get to the bottom of it. >> reporter: spokesme

. >> what's remarkable in this hyperpartisan era, only 17% of americans in the quinnipiac poll said theyt today repeal obamacare. there was actually, you know, consensus around the country that it would be worse to repeal obamacare. and certainly planned parenthood, 80% once they learned the money doesn't go to abortion, they support planned parenthood which was the funding was eliminated in their bill. the american people overall approve of obamacare. and it's not -- 2017 has been the year where there's been this tremendous reversal. in 2009 they were chasing democrats around, including me, yelling about obamacare. in 2017, they're saying huh-uh. do not repeal it. let's fix it. >> do you think there's a public expectation of some sort of government run healthcare? >> well, i do think that we should have a public option, a medicare-like plan that people could buy in places where there's only one insurer or insurer don't want to be so there actually would be a plan. i personally, i am for medicare for all kind of system. i think it would be the most efficient. maybe sometime we'll get the

and new quinnipiac university poll shows the republican plan is unpopular with the majority of the voters, 56 percent say they disapprove of the health care reform bill, 17 percent approve, and 26 percent, remain undecided. >>> this photo from the white house staffer shows conservative republicans giving president trump a standing ovation but the health care deal isn't done just yet. >> the president was very gracious, but nothing new came out. >> reporter: president trump is working on winning votes for g.o.p. plan to repeal and replace obama care from the house freedom caucus. they want change that is will decrease cost of health care premiums, by rolling back coverage on emergency room visits, maternity care, prescription drugs, and mental health care, and that is pushing some moderate republicans, to vote against the bill. without any support from democrats, the house g.o.p. leadership can only afford so many republican defectses, they postponed a morning meeting and media briefing for more negotiating. lawmakers stayed up late and went home wednesday night without locking down a time

. >> there's a new poll out in quinnipiac this week saying only 19% of the country believes him. do you believe him? >> whether i believe him or not, i believe the facts and we are a nation of laws and we have to follow those laws. you can get all the polls in the world but at the end of the day, what really matters is right and wrong. >> congressman billy tart are. >> coming up, there's the huddle in the house happening right now. you saw kasie huntout side. we'll check back in to see if there are any developments from that. we' we're. >> early morning raids arrests isis, claiming responsibility, all of it relating to that attack in london. we have new information we'll bring to you after the break. for lower back pain sufferers, the search for relief often leads... here... here... or here. today, there's another option. drug-free aleve direct therapy. a tens device with high intensity power that uses technology once only available in doctors' offices. its wireless remote lets you control the intensity, and helps you get back to things like this... this... or this. and back to b

honest, if he was going to come back and lobby for this gop trumpcare bill, 17% favorability by the quinnipiacl. jesus could have come back and would not have gotten this -- and i say that -- jesus is about caring and compassion and jesus would have never lob bbied for this in the first place. jared kushner has limited contacts with the members of congress, has no history of being on the hill. i don't know what he could have done. to me, this is more about donald trump lashing out and not taking responsibility the way he'd lash out at democrats in the presser right after this didn't pass. he blamed the democrats. zero republicans voted for obamacare in the house. zero. the problem, donald trump could not get republicans to rr rally around his signature bill, jared being there or not doesn't matter for this. >> i don't think he's blaming jared. the white house denied this, by the way. also, we know people are intentionally leaking things to try to make the trump administration look bad or contentious. >> did president trump take responsibility for the bill's failure? >> absolutely. i think he r

in addition to that, the most recent poll quinnipiac yesterday said that 56% of americans polled thinkto defeat this republican bill as opposed to 17% who think we ought to pass it. that's a 3:1 margin. so the conclusion that i have reached that this is a bad bill, that we ought to go back to the drawing board. we need to have bipartisan discussions to make the affordable care act work properly. do what trump said he wants to do. if president trump offers a bill that gives every american health insurance that they can afford with better quality, i'm gonna vote for it. he has offered no such bill. all he's offered is rhetoric. >> dana: that poll said 56% of people did not like this particular bill, the american healthcare act, but for different reasons. some people want it to go for left, some people more right. do you have a political preference for this bill today to pass or to fail? if it fails then some republicans are saying this is still the democrats fault. if you're unhappy with obamacare, it's not our fault, it's the democrats. do you have a preference? >> let me tell you somet

kathleen: i'd like to welcome our bloomberg television and radio audience to the quinnipiac student investment. seventh annual event with a very, very special speaker today. jim bullard is president of the federal reserve bank of st. louis. a position he's held since 2008. and he's here today to share his thoughts on the economy and the fed at a time when the fed is seeming to go into a very interesting mode, jim. seems to me that the majority, the consensus on the f 1 c has not moved to maybe so many heights. but we're definitely going to do three rate hikes if not four. you have been in a camp, smaller, one this year i don't care if you do two. but not much more for the next few years. what do you see that the rest the rest of the f 1 c doesn't? jim: i would say the u.s. economy is in a slow growth mode as it has been for the last two years. in 2015 the economy grew just a little under 2%. in 2016 the economy grew i guess we got the number yesterday, 2.1%. first quarter tracking estimates are now down below 1%. at an annual rate for first quarter g.d.p. this does not sound like a booming eco
