rasmussen reports, we found at election time, 40% of likely voters wanted repeal and replace, that numberwn to 30%, and in fact, the majority of likely voters want to see obamacare tackled piece by piece, basis by basis because now we are starting to see what the real consequences are for the program. to be fair, the ceo of aetna said that it is in a death of server farm has to happen, but the republican party has not coalesced on executive with that will look like. >> jon: when it is that big and involves a six of the u.s. economy, is it any surprise that even a political party cannot exactly agree on how to dismantle it? >> no, and remember when mitch mcconnell, current majority leader, brought up obamacare, it was stacks and stacks to the ceiling, and democrats want to tell us they had a transparent process, i don't think so. >> it succumbed comes a gated thing, but then again, it speaks to republicans paid they should have been more honest with voters that they were not going to be able to repeal this bill and replace it on day one. it has been seven years, and they had a president wh

aally gave me inspiration and lot of what was said through our program with other guests between rasmussen and him were the same old thing, but right on, young man and young know, that are, you a nking about taking it with lot of importance. host: all right, that is all for today's "washington journal." back tomorrow morning at 7 a.m. eastern time. until then, have a great day. ♪ ♪ >> hillary clinton speaks today at georgetown university's institute for women's peace and security. it is her first speech in washington since the presidential election. she will be presenting the hillary rodham clinton award for women, peace and security. this is scheduled to begin in half an hour. at 1:00 p.m. eastern, tony inken will be talking about u.s. asia relations. >> this weekend, c-span's cities tour will explore the literary scene and history of chico, california. , the founder of bidwell andhn california." >> most important and long-lasting relationship with the federal government was his relationship with the u.s. department of agriculture. he was constantly corresponding and officials in the usda

joining us now is gaucho rasmussen, director of investigations and enforcement at ofcom.this is the biggest fine to be handed out so far. tell us what bt has been doing? well, this is the biggest fine because it relates to a very important part of the uk economy. this is the backbone of our digital network. bt was found to have breached this contract with some of its customers and other telecoms providers and other providers such as vodafone and talktalk by the way it rolled out the broadband lines. they should have given appropriate notice in a reasonable time frame so people knew when the lines would be rolled out so if there is any delay and if there is delay bt maybe obliged to pay compensation. we have found that bt did not pay the appropriate amount of compensation because of the breach it engaged in. clearly, we know that openreach will be split off from bt, it creates a new legal entity and one that many of the competitors have welcomed. how significant is this in light of that? i would say the investigation relates to historic conducts and so that was then and op

joining us now to analyze the coverage in new york, amy holmes, political analyst for "rasmussen reports." amy, even most legal analysts say neil gorsuch was a good witness, he was funny and charge but he didn't really answer most of the questions. >> that may be true. nearly half of the voters thought opposition to in gorsuch was largely political and 82% of voters think he's likely to get confirmed. there is a broad consensus neil gorsuch is a qualified candidate to sit on the supreme court. this positive coverage has to do with the fact that he has a conservative would be replacing a conservative justice. the coverage would be different if we were talking about replacing ruth bader ginsburg. howie: he said he's disheartened by anyone who criticizes judges. >> the interesting thing about the gorsuch nomination is how little coverage it got because of what else is going on. the healthcare debacle got more coverage on both sides and the investigation into russia got more coverage. neil gorsuch probably benefited from the lack of coverage. but it's interesting to see how little people pro

kelly rasmussen spoke to bay area residents with a variety of opinions on the proposed budgets.>> we spent enough on defense already.>> we already have one of the best militaries in the world. i feel well protected here at home, so i don't necessarily think that it is worth it. >> reporter: this 26 year army veteran had a different reaction. >> it's about time. we had such a draw down for so many years. it impacted troop size and troop morale. that went down. anything we can do to increase the budget to get more training time and materials for the guys.>> reporter: it calls for some of that money to expand the number of ships in the navy and adding more f 35 jets in the lock -- in the air force. they are made by lockheed martin in sunnyvale. >> it could impact military contractors here and elsewhere. >> reporter: santa clara economics professor said that the stimulus could be short- lived.>> we will end up with more military hardware. when president reagan came in, he campaigned on the promise of a 600 ship navy. several years lady ash later, a good portion of that was resting. -- la

tammy: even the rasmussen shows him with a 31% approval rate. even the public is reacting to the impression that there is chaos in capitol hill. we now it's the republicansing in congress. but they are look for trump to control that chaos. it does go back to the commander-in-chief. the small business round table would not only do we know trump can do it. but we expect him to operate as a leader across the board. he needs to begin to show that. the other problem is communication out of the white house controlled by the gop establishment other rogue dynamic. we note republicans are not good at communication. so i'm still concerned about that. t dold trump has to ramp up communication about what he is doing. but he must intervene and show he can convey that to congress. charles: we are with you, my man. but we are also spoiled. a lot of things have been common the first 50 days. you are hearing it from business both large and small. scott * i don't disagree with him. 51 days an has four people outstanding. he's battling the establishment and everyo

rasmussen said several percent of people think the country is moving in the right direction when was 20%. >> approval rating is -- fact is a fact. every single response to something that is not favorable to donald trump is his voters don't care about it. that means nothing talking about facts. lot of people don't care about a lot of things. when people say they didn't want this or that, lot didn't believe that same sex should get married or black and white people get married or go to school together or integration. but guess what, wasn't the right thing to do or truth about what america is. does that mean we should ignore facts and ignore what most of the american people care about because a small number of people, trump supporters, not living in reality? >> not talking about what most americans care about. health care, jobs and pay. >> don't care about the truth? >> but not about spying in russia. in facts proven. narrative pushed for weeks -- >> same thing. not proven that anyone wiretapped anyone and administration is still lying and saying it has been or proof coming down the roa

even the rasmussen poll, he's under water right there.le, i'm hoping ivanka trump can stop everything that president trump is doing is a little out there, but she has his ear, he aren'ts her views. he still would like president trump to be the president of all americans, as a muslim, it's hard for me to embrace president trump with the muslim ban, maybe ivanka could be that olive branch between the muslim community between president trump and the muslim community. >> should she feel the need to try to be the olive branch? >> no one can stop trump from being trump, that is why he's the president of the united states. the person he is today is the person he was throughout the campaign, his language is the same as it was during the campaign and that's why people voted for him. we knew exactly what we were getting. i'm not convinced that 41 hshe hasn't reeled him in quite a bit. his tweets have reeled in, and his speech has reeled n i think he has become much more presidential in the last 50 days and i think she has had a tremendous impact on

. >> kimberly: rasmussen poll says 48% of americans agree that obamacare is collapsing. he's saying the united states needs to act decisively to protect americans and give them quality healthcare. i think this was a turning point today. i agree with dana that he put muscle behind it, put the magic of the trump branding and said i'm going to own this, it's not just ryan care, i support it. i'm got skin in the game, i'm going to make sure it gets through. i take him at his word he's going to go out there and sell it will and push it and even if they have to go one by one, and he said something important which is that they made changes. perhaps there's been accommodations that will be pivotal. >> eric: if the only way to get the premiums down, the only way. >> kimberly: competition. >> eric: competition across state line. >> kimberly: across state line. >> eric: 60 votes in the senate. >> juan: that's the point. he says obamacare is dead. i'm think toing myself, they just indicated 12.2 million people enrolled. we'll see what happens. >> greg: barrier receive is dead you kn

this just moments ago: president trump meeting with denmark prime minister rasmussen, saying they're friend of ours, they shook hands. remember what happened with angela merkel of germany where he didn't quite hear her asking to shake hands. but the president at the moment is now behind closed doors with the prime minister, no doubt speaking to him. but he did answer no additional questions from the press core. to the markets. dow is up 68 points. so it looks like stocks are brushing of yesterday's losses, thanks to a better than expected read on fourth quarter gdp. growth domestic product, which is, look, the short away of explaining it is the output of all goods and services in the u.s. increased at a 2.1 rate, so does this push the fed to be more than. this morning maria bartiromo asked san francisco reserve john williams, here's what he said. >> right now, i think this view that my colleagues have expressed in our various projections that three rate hikes overall for this year seems to be about right. maybe we'll need to have -- maybe four rate hikes this year. liz: which is it?

because his approval rating is slowly going down, even few look at rasmussen, they can't even dial itany more than 48% these days. >> i think people on the hill are willing to accept a lot of this from trump, you know, we're going to get stuff done, now, if they're not going to get their stuff done, what's their tolerance for these kind of things? what jumped out at me in that interview was the fact that he says, well, i just read that in a paper. even though some of it is fake, i read it. i am going to repeat it. >> that is totally new for us, most presidents would never admit they're getting their information from the media. >> this is -- there was a reason why many of the conservative intellectual crowd never got, it was a lack of intellectual curiosity. i thought that bothered the right intellectuals as much as a eng. >> that's right. but we were talking about how his standing has declined, he had two years of lousy polls and became president of the united states. now, he doesn't have hillary clinton as a foil anymore. i do think that changes things, it was his dishonesty versus h

but there are many, many polls, including the rasmussen poll that shows that he has a 50% approval rating can debate over the polls. but i'll tell you i wouldn't put too much stock in the mainstream media polls that repeatedly got the i election wrong. if you're going to pace your assessment on president trump based on polls that didn't predict he would be the president of the united states, then your logic is flawed. >> let's go back to his own words. let's base it on his own words in terms of what he promised the american people he would do. let's listen to him on the campaign trail. >> on my first day, i am going to ask congress to send me a bill to immediately repeal and replace disastrous obamacare. >> somebody said the other day -- what's the first thing you're going to do? well, we going to work immediately on repealing obamacare. >> from day one, i've been talking about we're going to repeal and replace obamacare. from day one. >> so did he make a promise he simply could not keep? >> look, no, he said he would go to congress and he would ask them to send him a bill to repeal and r

"rasmussen poll" came out today showing that voters above all else want trump to create jobs. that is what he is working on. i think it's a tremendous reminder too of difference between this administration and his predecessor. obama had couple of meetings with a business council that he assembled after being criticized for having no private sector people in the white house and then it was disbanded. this is real. we've seen him meet over and over with business executives. he wants to hear what they want, what they need to get this economy moving. and that is the priority. melissa: meanwhile dismantling obamacare, republicans planning to roll out their plan to replace former president obama's signature health care law. sources are now saying that tax credits will be included. gerri willis is standing by in the newsroom with details on this. break it down for us, gerri. >> melissa, that's right. we're lashing for chapter and verse on obamacare replacement plan. we're not getting it. maybe tonight. maybe tomorrow. still looking for it. but the assumption working here we'll have t

moving on, later this afternoon the president will welcome prime minister rasmussen of denmark for a working visit. we'll have a readout on their bilateral meeting after its conclusion. i know hunter asked about the house and senate passage disapproving of the federal communications regulation on privacy rules from last year. so let me just expand on that and get to your question. the white house supports congress using its authority under the congressional review act to roll back last year's fcc rules on broad band regulation. the previous administration in an attempt to treat internet service providers differently such as google and facebook reclassified them as common carriers, much like a hotel or another retail out let. and open their door to an unfair regulatory framework. this will allow service providers to be treated fairly and consumer protection and privacy concernses to be viewed on an equal playing field. the president pledged to reverse the type of federal overreach in which bureaucrats in washington take the interest of one group of companies over the interest of other

rasmussen report and willcow majority. good morning to you. >> good morning.ning. you heard it there, amy. he said democrats will come to me eventually. when they do i will work with them. is this a way for him of saying the conservative side of the republican party they didn't come on board this time. they didn't give us the votes we needed. have a bill between democrats and republicans. something very different that president obama said i have a paper and pen and go straight down party lines. >> clearly had a freedom caucus did not get on board with paul ryan obamacare reform package. i think that president trump is saying that he is willing to reach across the aisle. i actually support that i think that a big piece of legislation like this should have bipartisan support. part of why obamacare has been such a brittle part of legislation partly because it wasn't well constructed because it was passed along completely partisan lines without a single republican vote. abby: chuck, yesterday, the democrats were praising the fact that this didn't pass. saying this
