53% over stringer's 33%.ps what's more surprising is the vote among women. spitzer leading double digits there, as well, 44% over stringer's 32%. so after the way his political career came to an end five years ago, how is he gaining so much support now, particularly among females? joining me now is mickey carol, director of the quinnipiac university polling institute, who put out today's numbers. and also with us is kelly ann conway of the polling company. good to see you both. thank you for joining us. mickey, does this surprise you at all? >> yes. in a word, yes. it's a very simple question, and a very simple answer. you'd think, look -- you'd think that women would not like the idea of a guy using a prostitute, which the spitzer did. and yet, women somehow or other apparently have forgiven him. don't ask me why. i mean, i can do political questions and quinnipiac does -- quinnipiac does political numbers. psychological, i don't know. that's a little hard -- >> you don't know why. >> there's no way of telli

let's listen to what he told our alina cho. >> you were trouncing scott stringer in the polls.ou're at 48% in the latest poll. what do you think that says about new yorkers and their willingness to forgive? >> well, look, i hope there's forgiveness. i think foregiverness is part and parcel of our psyches. whether that forgiveness will extend to me is an open question. early polls are not dispositive. obviously i'm thrilled to see where they are, but, again, my focus is on having a message that i think will resonate with the public, which is that i worked very hard as attorney general, as governor, as a prosecutor years back. >> do you think the governor has shown integrity? >> listen, i think eliot spitzer believes there are two sets of rules, one for him and one for the rest of us. he's not in the public campaign finance program so he's trying to buy this election with his own money. i have released five years of my tax return because if you're going to be leading the public fisk in this city people have to know your investments and who you are. eliot spitzer is not releasing

over the course of three decades, stringer has climbed up the political ladder.anhattan's borough president. he received the endorsement from three powerful women's groups. partly because of his work on women's rights and partly because of his opponent's past. he also has the backing of senator gillibrand who broke her custom of not picking sides in a democratic primary. polls have shown that it may be tough for stringer. the primary just a month and a half away. stinger supposedly down by double digits. will inherit a budget now nearly $70 billion. with union contracts that have expired. in fairness, with spitzer on tv all the type, we thought, why shouldn't people meet the other person running for this office. so he joins us, mr. stringer, nice to meet you. >> thank you for the opportunity. >> you've been running for this position -- i think you've been laying your groundwork probably for a year. p spitzer gets in. did you know this was coming? when did the rumors come in? >> we thought one of them would run. weiner was polling the comptroller's race. >> you ha

obviously spitzer has the better name recognition, et cetera, stringer has got to be thinking don't ask i'm hurt, dog. remember he was trailing, people said he's not going to be able to win already winning in the polls 25 for wiener, christine quinn previously leading is down 22%. you see the rest. i feel terrible for saul albanese. when asked would you vote for eliot spitzer 43% said they would vote for spitzer 34% for wiener. >> it was amazing let's watch the clutch where it's addressed. >> you'd think that women would not like the idea of a guy using a prostitute, which spitzer did and yet women somehow or another apparently have forgiven him. don't ask me why. i can do political questions but psychological, i don't know. cenk: you know, i love that. you know why? that's old school political way of thinking. oh yes a sex scandal you're done, women are going to hate you, i know politics, right? that's all the pundits talk about, right? no, you don't. yes, as ana said, we've all had sexual impropriety at some point in our live. women are basing him on his record. i know stop the presse

he will eat stringer alive. >> what did you see in the streets?people were standing back and not believing what we were see. we weren't, candidly. but people will remember the better parts of his record. i think the public does believe in redemption. it hurts anthony weiner. it's hard for to have a path forward. >> do you? >> i think i do. much to my regret. if you are going to run for office -- you have to seek forgiveness. you have to be contrite. i don't hear any contrition. i think he's sorry about the fact he committed a crime as chief law enforcement of the state. i don't hear anything about the way he abused his power. accusing people and not bringing criminal charges. trying to force people out. i think he damaged aig by forcing out good management and letting it go to people -- >> he's facing a lawsuit from the former head of aig. and we will see wall street rise up and try to stop it. >> he almost never brought cases that went to trial. he used his power through leak and the media to be able to try cases in public. but when he went to tr

barely has been in the race for a week and already he's leading manhattan borough president scott stringer to 33%. >> john: wow. anthony weiner and eliot spitzer surprising everyone with their solid polling. [laughter] which, to be fair, is kind of the story of their lives. for more on this we're joined by senior political correspondent samantha bee. >> yeah. >> john: sam, it look like weiner and spitzer could actually win their races. that is unbelievable, isn't it? >> i know, john, it truly is a great day for children across this nation. >> john: sorry. how on earth is this a great day for children? >> oh, no, john, think about it. most of today's young people feel like they could never have a future in politics and it's hard to argue with them. you know, they're on facebook 24/7. they're sexting and twitpicking and oversharing everything they've got and destroying any chance of a political career before they even know they want one. every parent dreads that moment when they have to sit their college-aged kid down and say, honey, you're never going to be president or even city comptrolle

eliot spitzer leading scott stringer, 47% to 33%. launch a superpac to stop him and more anti-spitzer cash and muscle could come from powerful unions to stringer. on monday "new york times" editorial board the two charter members of the kardashian party for whom notoriety is looking like the quick, easy path to redemption. like to bring in host of the television show on new york 1. so, my reaction when i saw that poll on tuesday, 42 to 33% for spitsering. you are talking about former governor, national name running against somebody who is very low profile and he starts out eight points under 50 million and nine points overall. i don't know that he's in a great place here. >> oh, i would have to disagree i'm not sure scott stringer would agree with you, to tell you the truth. getting near 50. this is day one, literally day one. hasn't spent a dime on advertising and hasn't made a speech and sent out a piece of mail and hasn't done anything and he's leading by nine points and closing in on an absolute majority and we have 60 days left

he joins scot stringer in the race for comptroller. he said elliiot spitzer is goin to try personal redemption with his family fortune. the voters will decide. here's the "new york post," here we ho again. and the daily news, the lust for power. tweet us your headlines. the best ones that are clean enough for cable will get a shoutout. bring it this morning. first day back from the holiday recess. >>> rick perry is promising to pass an abortion bill when the special session resumes after their recess this week. yesterday perry said official state business will not be overrun by protesters again commenting on the support wendy davis received during the 11-hour filibuster last wooek. >> when you look at texas history, never in the history of texas have they seen that type of a mob rule discombobulate a session. texans want to protect life. that's the bottom line here. >> governor perry weighed in on the presidential race saying it's certainly an option. >>> now to business. better than expected jobs report for june. the economy added 195

you have an opponent named scott stringer, manhattan bureau president here.s running unopposed until you got into this race. new york city has a public financing system, he opted into the public financing system. you have opted out. he is now saying you should release your tax returns. you've released a summary version. he wants to see all of them. the argument, i don't think it's an implausible one, yours is the one allowing you to opt out of it. i want to play a clip for you attacking mitt romney for not releasing his full tax returns. take a look. >> romney has now made paying taxes the litmus test for good, moral standing in our community. he has done this by so avowedly dismissing the 47% as dependents and slackers. why i have grown tired and lost interest in tax returns, i have a newfound interest in examining them. if payment is the ticket to moral uprightness, i want to see if mitt has punched his own ticket. >> so are you pulling a mitt romney here? is there hypocrisy? >> public finance, the system in new york city is a good system. the difference is

it's possible his top competition, scott stringer, who's the manhattan bureau president, could challenge their validity. spitzer made a surprise entry into this race earlier this week. already at least one poll shows him with the lead. >>> so money. if money was the determining factor, hillary clinton might think twice about returning to public office because according to "the new york times," the former first lady and former secretary of state, potential 2016 candidate, is raking in about $200,000 per appearance on the paid speaking circuit. $200,000. that's about as much as her husband, former president bill clinton, makes for domestic speeches. aside from the clintons, who's worth that kind of cash? that's what we want to know from you. if you had just $200,000 lying around, who would you like to see? you can tweet us your picks use can go #waytooearly. we'll put the most creative answers on coming up later. you can get me for a lot cheaper. >>> all right. to the latest on celebrity chef pau lla deen, who has fired her lawyers. she hired a new phigh-profile team to deal with her case.

, that is stringer being the manhattan borough president. 44% believe that spitzer who resigned amid prostitution scandal is a changed man and 67% believe he deserves a second chance. so five years later it seems people are responding to him being back out there publicly. >> i'll tell you what, he was on the show the other day and a lot of people were asking whether he really cried or not. i wasn't there. but -- >> right. >> by remote. mika was there, and she said hey, he had all the tell-tale signs, he was sweating, his skin was changing colors, he was deeply anguished and she's one of the more cynical people towards spitzer but said it was real and it was compelling. the thing about eliot spitzer, he reminded me of mark sanford and his comeback attempt. mark would go anywhere, talk to anybody, and annie, it was people -- people would sit there and keep asking tough questions and he would stay in there. i think that's -- i think that puts spitzer in a good place too. >> i think spitzer and weiner are an object lesson that in the fact in american politics there are always second acts

it's possible his top competition scott stringer could challenge their validity.tzer made a surprise entry into the race earlier this week and already at least one poll shows him with a lead and donny, i ask for your opinion on this because it's i think really tough for someone to come back from what he did. and for a number of reasons. and yet, the poll is showing he's in the lead and a lot of people are saying the way he has presented himself especially on an interview on this show may have had something to do with it. do we have a portion of that, alex? i'll let you take a look. here are the polls. and then this is what happened at the very end of our interview with him a few days ago. >> as personal as you can answer this question, don't give me a pat answer, don't give me one that you prepare in your mind, how are you different than you were five, six years ago? what has changed personally? >> a lot of pain. a lot of pain. >>. >> that's it? >> you go through that pain, you change. >> that was after 15 minutes of me asking him questions about since he broke th

i haven't endorsed scott stringer who is running. but eliot and scott both would bring a lot of energy and intelligence to the job. and that's what -- and creativity. because that job gives a lot of benefit to somebody who can be creative and innovative. >> we had scott stringer on yesterday. he kept saying, look, it's not about spitzer, and it's funny, because i think if the shoe was on the other foot, there would be mudslinging. but he's sort of keeping out of that. i wonder if that's smart or not? >> well, we don't even know if eliot will be on the ballot. so right now, i think he's holding his fire. that's probably the right thing to do. >> all right. great insights from you both. thank you so much, elizabeth. appreciate your time. mike, always great to see you. we'll see you soon. >>> don't miss kudlow tonight. eliot spitzer's other opponent is kristin m. davis, of course, the madam at the head of the prostitution house who spitzer dealt with as client number 9. she is now competing for that job of new york city comptroller, and

if i'm scott stringer's campaign manager today i'm calling every one of these guys.htmare coming back to life. fund my campaign. run ads for me. >> andrew pointed out the problem with that. to who again? you pointed out the name. >> he's a nice guy. people like him. there's no big scandals in his background. >> we can make stringer famous, right? >> right. it's a short window of time. >> did you guys see "the wall street journal" story today with more speculation about larry summers potentially coming back as the head of the fed? stephanie, that's something that had been out there and had circulated before. but "the wall street journal" really makes it sound like there may have been some promises made from the administration before 2010. >> yeah. it's a little bit interesting. because summers is is somebody who has -- you know, he stayed within the public eye. to ben's point, the name recognition, somebody who has flair, somebody who has a certain persona in the public. there's a lot of value to that that goes beyond, you know, his intelligence and his savvy and his

particularly strong much men who choose him by 20 points over stringer.to 42. if there's a question whether voters could stomach spitzer after his scandal, his favorability is high. financial corruption is worse of an offense than sexual misconduct. gene robinson you look at those numbers. it's like the mark sanford race, at the end of the day voters want confidence. >> us it with spitzer. >> still haven't seen it with anthony weiner. running against spinner who seems confident, spitzer who is confident, running against a good opponent. >> i think voters decided, you know, they are looking at wall street. they remember what he did in the past. there's a sense that it's still a cesspool. you don't get a nice guy -- you don't necessarily want a nice guy to go in and clean that up. yeah, he's kind of a jerk but, you know - >> in new york in the city, especially michael steele, they are not looking for nice guys. rudy giuliani had a definite edge to him. mike bloomberg had a definite edge to him. like margaret thatcher in britain in 1979. margaret thatcher wa

took it right off my stringer. they can be that big. but what's the big commandty trade?ng gold and i'm always a buyer of one thing and a seller of something else. i think one of the good trades is to be an owner of gold and seller of copper. gold is breaking to the upside and copper to the downside. the monetary authorities are going to continue to expand the supply of reserves. inventories of copper around the world, whether it's shanghai, the lme are at or near ten year highs. that's going to tend to weigh heavily upon the copper market. i'm a buyer of gold, a seller of copper and a spreader of one against the other. >> in terms of the short copper trade, is a slowing china integral to that part of the equation and therefore -- i believe you think that a slowing china would hit europe more so than the u.s. as a correlary trade short european equities or something in europe? >> the question of a weakening -- we have to remember when you talk about a weakening china is going to have a deleterious market upon copper prices generally. i wouldn't want to be a seller of euro
