don't tase me, bro.are reform and the president's performance. juan williams is with me now. let us start with the job approval numbers. they say 50% of people approve of the job president obama is doing, 42% disapproving. the numbers are down considerably from where they were in july. what do you make of it? >> down 8%. what you see is a trend of the president's number is going down. you think back, he was above 60, now he is around 50. the real loss seems to be over two issues, health care -- the majority of americans disapprove of the way he is handling health care -- and number two, going back to the professor gates controversy. clearly, most americans think that the president had no business getting into the dispute. megyn: they just put up a second one about how the president has handled health care. that is not good for the president either. 46% approve of the way he is handling health care, 42% disapproved. while those numbers are not great, aren't as bad as you might expect? are they not horribl
