>> jamie: scott rasmussen is an independent pollster. great to see you. how big a change was this? change at all. a week ago the president's job approval was 56%. the peak of his post-election bounce was 58%. so it's easing back to a more normal range right now. you got to keep it in context. first off, the job approval right now is higher than it was for most of his first term. the numbers break down like this. nine out of ten democrats say he's doing a great job. eight out of ten republicans disapprove. the unaffiliated voters, they're split down the middle. what we'll be watching for the next few weeks is the impact of the payroll tax cut and other concerns about the economy. if the economy starts to head south, the president's numbers will probable will he head down, too. >> gregg: let's talk about one of the president's cabinet next, jack lew, not exactly a household name, is he? >> not at all. three out of four people have no idea who he is. while 10% offer a favorable opinion, only 1% really have a strongly favorable view of him. we did not ask about his signature. this is t

this according to a rasmussen poll, a visit. 36% are in favor of legalizing and regulating marijuanaut michael shure. >> it makes perfect sense to me, that's the trend. >> cenk: you're against this. >> i'm in the 36%. >> cenk: you don't think that-- >> no, i think they should be able allowed to do that--i think in colorado--that club looked, with all respect to our guest who is coming up here, maybe that wasn't their busy nights. >> cenk: people are a little concerned in the beginning. >> i would imagine so. i think they should be able to open the club. it passed there, it's the law. i have no problem with the club. i have a problem with the law. >> cenk: ana, if you're in denver, do you stop by? >> yes. >> cenk: that took awhile to answer. >> yes, why not. it's historical. >> $30 membership. >> i'm into it. i love freedom. this is freedom. no one is doing anything wrong by smoking marijuana. those people did not look violent. >> i'm not sure of the social nature of getting in a club when you're smoking. i don't smoke, but when you're in a social nature, it opens people up to talk to

. >> right leaning rasmussen did a poll on the tea party. tea party is almost obsolete. 8% claim tea party membership in the poll. that's a tiny little number. >> cenk: right, the approval rating is actually 30% which is, i've seen other polls near 20%, one near half. to be fair to them, their approval rating fluctuates, right and sometimes it's ok and sometimes it's disastrous. only 8% of the country saying their part of the tea party. it's almost irrelevant. >> in 2010, they were 24%. in less than two years they've gone from 24 to eight. >> it's hard to keep your numbers up when they're not getting to the places to be polled. >> cenk: they have outlived their usefulness to the guys who have all the money who brought all the messages to the tea party, go support super rich people and corporate america. don't let them reform health care. we're making so much money out of it. give us more and more and more. did they send any buses to do protests to the bailouts which is what the tea party was for? none, they didn't do that. now that the tea p

when rasmussen polling was asked how they felt about the u.s.oming a communist country, 11% said they would approve. you were at multiple points in the tenure, you were less popular than communism, there was a theory in their effort to grind the u.s. to a halt, in making congress a destructive force. it was the american voters who blamed the parties in charge of the white house, leading to president obama's clear and overwhelming defeat. yet republicans were so mistrusted by the end, that despite the two years of the government, and a weak economy, obama was reelected by a 5 million votes, and democrats won more votes in the house than republicans. but unfortunately, the polarization in congress are probably long-term political trends, and there is no evidence that they will lift any time soon, so the 112th congress was surely one of the most broken and dysfunctional in our history. while we are happy they are gone, the worst may be yet to come. joining me now is thomas mann, and norm orenstein, also the co-authors of the book "it is even worse
