you can see the chart going back to 1974 they are from gallup. lowanalysis shows that congressional approval is associated with higher seat turner and congress. that also suggests that when the president's party and the majority in congress are different, as they are now, voter frustration with congress is more likely to be taken out on the party of the president. from the polling report out from gallup. beast," theily midterm elections. asking what the biggest midterm election issue might be. the living room. voters agree with democrats on nearly every issue and the gop is offering nothing, it is all about the president. that is from "the daily beast." a 42%ent obama has approval rating, lower than in 2010 when democrats were pulverized in the midterm election. we're asking you what is striving you to the polls. our phones are open. your top issue for the midterm election. is there one? asks, will foreign policy rear its head as a campaign issue? on the day that the president begins selling his expanded operation against islamic state to congres

one day after his isis speech, according to gallup, his approval rating sank to 41%. his disapproval rating went to 54% after the speech. question, according to nielsen, 32 million viewers saw the speech. why did obama's approval ratings drop in the gallup tracking? too hawkish? too doveish? >> he's lost so much credibility of americans in terms of foreign policy. i don't think we've lived with anybody with that kind of record of failure as far as the american public sees it. so i think they are very nervous about what he's going to be leading the country into. and frankly, the more he goes in one direction, a lot of other americans are going to go in a different direction. >> americans hate isis, john, but they are really skeptical of plunging into another war in the middle east, i can tell you and they are going to get more so. obama was bounced into this thing by two videos. he called it syria, somebody else's civil war a couple months ago. now we're in the middle of it because of these two videos? >> it's more than the videos. it's our allies in the region who see

the gallup data was so interesting that we could predict with the data we had we could predict what was going to happen in libya, in egypt, in tunisia before it happened. >> explain that. >> well, the majority of the people who are in the suffering stage, and people start to suffer, then revolutions happen, social unrests happen, traffic accidents increase and violence happens. i teach a class on this, and one of my students in the class was qaddafi 's son. >> wow. >> basically they wanted to quote/unquote rebrand libya into a country that paid attention to well-being because they were aware of this data. >> was it one of the sons, by the way who is on trial? >> he died three weeks after he left my class. it was very sad because you could see there was this absolute huge anxiety that some disaster was going to occur. >> libya is just one of many places in the midst of crisis right now. >> yes. >> talk about how you view the world at this point. is it at a tenuous time. >> if you have 50% of the world living on less than $2 a day, that's a catastrophe, we have that right now. >> you thin

a new gallup poll finds that in an average week some americans work more than 30 hours. brianne carter has the details. inas the streets show, many the region are away from the office on this labor day. new study, many people are actually spending more time on the job. >> 40, 50, 60 hours per week. >> according to the board of education survey, adults employed full-time are working an average of 37 hours per week, a full day longer than what is considered a standard schedule. for out of 10 say that they work at least 50 hours a week. 18% say that they work 60 hours per week or more. chuck and pam say that that is true in their lives. hope that i can get my work done beforehand. >> chuck is an electrical engineer. as a real estate agent. she says if you want success, she has to work longer than nine to five. thatf those surveyed say they work less than 40 hours. >> we had so much free time a few years ago. research shows that the numbers can vary for hourly and salaried employees. hourly workers can be restricted by the amounts if they don't need or can't afford the overt

. >> jason, gallup has -- i have to ask you a question. the gallup poll has president obama's approval the 42% and he's dragging down his party. >> in fact, republicans keep making these races local. you've got kansas, you've got colorado, you've got georgia right now where you're getting into these battles about voter turnout and registration. and the moment people start focusing on what's happening on the ground, the moment they hear these secretary of states trying to prevent single women and african-americans from voting, it becomes a local race and that helps obama. right now obama doesn't seem to be much of an issue in toss-up states. >> as we know with polling, that's right now. thank you both for being here. >> thank you. >> new jersey governor chris christie is responding to a story broken by our nbc station in new york which reports that federal investigators have found no evidence showing the governor had advanced knowledge of the george washington bridge lane closures in 2013. officials tell wnbc that nine months into the inves

here in the united states, a gallup poll finding 43% of americans trust the federal government to handle international problems. let's go to nbc's tracie potts in washington. good morning to you. and what are some of the other key details of the speech he put out last night? >> one of the big ones we have been waiting to hear in the president laid out last night we will expand air strikes from iraq into syria. there are some skeptical and some supportive of that here on capitol hill, but the president was quickly saying this is not going to turn into a ground war for the u.s. >> we will not get dragged into another ground war in iraq. >> reporter: but we will go after isis in iraq and syria, the president warned. >> if you threaten america, you will find no safe haven. >> reporter: air strikes, but no ground troops is a tricky strategy, critics say. >> we have a thousand boots on the ground right now, it is going to send another 435 boots on the ground. they're in a combat situation. to say they're not is obviously untrue. >> reporter: even supporters fear that the expanded campaign coul

gallup just came up with a poll saying most americans the most important problem is, guess, the economy. foreign policy around 6%. last month it was around 3%. and then we have this other tweet from brett, foreign policy is a forum for reinforcing tribalism. has always been part of our concern. nothing united nationnothing une politics. anything new for 2014? >> as a party, probably not but individually i think we could see some changes. and this is why control of the senate is so important. even though foreign policy isn't playing out in these contests, the campaigns we are going to see on november 4th if the senate changes over to renewable control we could see a difference in whose voices get heard. a voice like rand paul who has argued against us getting into any confron confrontation at al. both sides are afraid of staking out a position because nobody knows what's going to happen. >> patrick waj was just mentioning some of these polls. and as a poller you know you can take numbers and find numbers you need to support a theory on either side. now i was just looking at some recent d

in march, a gallup poll surveying opinion of president truman civil rights program found that 45% of whites outside of the south had never even heard of it. believedy, only 6% truman's program should be passed as a whole. s as well foundn the wallace is 70 was not a pivotal moment. that the progressives hoped it would be. they expressed expect for the candidates the ultimate this was not the first frontal attack on segregation. been organization had holding on syria to meetings in the south since 1934. -- on segregated meetings. it made for a lot of bitterness later in the years to come, when the african-american tallies came in on election day and it showed such a disappointing turnout for wallace. wallace later said that he given the negroes their chance, but they had disappointed him. wallace had mistaken emotional fervor for electoral support. election, co appears in, and ask for an american lawyer who ran for jenny general of north carolina, expressed disappointment. conceding to his victorious democrat opponent, he observed that i have been completely repudiated at the polls of

according to gallup, overall levels of trust in mass media fell back to a record low this year after a slight uptick last year that seems to have been a fluke. but don't take my word for it. take a look at the data. these are annual figures dating back to the '90s. you can see that gradual trend line down for 15 years to about 40% overall now. of course, the polling question is about the monolithic capital "m" media. you're more likely to trust your local paper or local tv station than the media as a whole. here is what i thought was the most interesting part of the data that came out this week. right now we're in the sixth year of the obama administration. during the same time in the bush administration, in between his re-election and the 2006 midterms, 70% of democrats said they trusted mass media. 31% of republicans said the same thing. but now democratic trust is down to 54%. that's as bad as it was at the tail end of the clinton administration. why? here is my best guess. news about president obama has been mostly bad these past two years and democrats may feel the news media is

gallup found 60% of folks saying caution is wise and calling it unwise, only 37%. are people distrustful of the stock market itself? >> i think that they are very wounded still from the loss that they, many of them, experienced, most all of us did during the great recession. so i think they are cautiously in the market and think they should be very careful. the risk/reward equation for them is not something that they're comfortable with. but i guess the good news is there that they are in the market. 68% of them in the survey are investing long-term assets in the stock market. gerri: and it's up. >> it is up. gerri: it's up dramatically. and so many of these people, many that watch this program don't want to be in the stock market, and yet we have been on fire with the markets hitting new highs. it's hard to describe or explain why people won't get involved when it's doing so well. >> well, and, again, i think it's just because it's still too fresh. it was such a massive decline for many people in their loss of wealth that it's not like the dot.com that went, came

. >> brown: there was some new gallop-- gallup polling suggestsing with wages starting to creep up a little bit there was some new confidence in the economy. did you see any signs of hopefulness? >> not really. i mean we have the same number of gallup when i asked workers if they are satisfied with their own jobs. but when the focus is on the economy, the u.s. economy as a whole, only one-third tell us that it's gotten better in the last year. and only one quarter think it's going to get better next year. it's very, very hard to go through the numbers that we went through and find a lot of encouragement or upside. >> let me ask you briefly, finally, your political scientist, did you see a direct political impact in terms of who people blame for all of this? >> well, i think they blame partly for workers, partly just the economy, but they certainly are not enamoured with government. we asked them how much confidence they had in washington's ability to solve problems. just 2% said a lot. another 20% said some. if they had to choose between president obama or the republicans in congress

if you follow gallup, gallup's most recent report found the adult uninsured rate fell 13.4% in the second quarter of 2014. i think all of us would agree that that was one of the toughest markets that we were trying to get insured. second the new england journal of medicine recently reported that 10.3 previously uninsured had gotten coverage. and then we had to pause and reflect. i would be remiss if i did not talk to some of my colleagues here, brad and joe, both were a big part of that effort, obviously around the federal and state-based marketplace. we never would have gotten through the last year or got the results we got if we would not have had great working relationships with consumers and advocates for sure, and with issuers, and i do mean issuers nationwide, if we had not had great partnerships with state medicaid programs and just with the public in general. each of you all should take a moment and we should all congratulate ourselves on what we have done to lower the number of uninsured. [ applause ] >>> so that's one part. but then there is the second part, which is insurance i

in march, a gallup poll surveying individuals said that 40% of whites outside of the south had never even heard of it. nationally, only six percent believe the treatment program african-americans, as well, should be passed as a whole. found that wallace's southern tour was not a pivotal moment that progressives thought it would be. commenting on the wallace southern swing the naacp , reminded readers that this was not the first frontal attack against segregation. their organization had been holding on segregated meetings in the south since 1934. wallace did not receive the vote of registered black voters, as it turned out. it made for a lot of bitterness in the years to come when the african-american tallies came out in the election day, and it showed a disappointing turnout for wallace. wallace later said that "he had given that the negroes a chance, but they had disappointed him." wallace's partisans had mistaken fervor for electoral support. following the election c. o. , pearson, who ran on the progressive party ticket in north carolina, expressed disappointment that many of his

gallup poll suggests trust in government is lower. tell me, what can congress do to regain the trust. >> well, i think you gain the trust by showing you can actually get together and work on the major issues that have to be done. every bill that i've introduced and worked on, i've worked with the democrats from the beginning. that's why a couple years ago by my piers -- peers i was named one of the top 10 republicans to work with. my leadership style is you bring everybody in at the beginning of the process and you work through the issues. one of the most liberal members in in congress is my ranking member on my subcommittee and we worked together and came to a compromised that got to the president's desk and was signed in the law. >> the question has to do with trust and people have lost trust in their government. what do you tell those folk sns how would you regain that trust? >> i'm as equally frustrated as they are. it is so frustrating to do bills like on obamacare to just change the rule from 30 hours back to 40 where there's gr

but when the public is asked the question and they've been asked this by the gallup poll, what do you think about american public education, public has a very low opinion. they think our schools are terrible because we've had this 20 to 30-year pounding about our schools. but when the question changes to, well, how is the school that your own child goes to? how is your neighborhood public school? they say it's great. we have terrific teachers, i respect our teachers. we have a great local public school, but american education is in terrible trouble. so this is the result of movies like "waiting for superman" "federal government reports" the george w. bush program, no child left behind. these terrible programs are closing schools, demonizing schools. it's hard to be a public schoolteacher these days. my hat is off to them. they have a rough job. many are dealing with underfunded schools, with overcrowded classrooms and we should be grateful for the work they do. i certainly am. >> you mentioned the extreme amounts of money that are being poured into this so-called, as you put it, publi

gallup's work and survey found half of the adults it surveyed say they work 47 hours a week on average. not 40. nearly one in ten say they work even more, at least 50 hours a week, and then 18% of us who say we work 60 hours a week or more. so, if you're a full time worker but actually work less than 40 hours a week, you are in the 8% minority. now here's why some of those experts believe that these numbers could be the way they are. some people might simply be more resourceful. but then there are others, who, well it, might actually be part of their pay stricture. employees paid by the hour sometimes are restricted in the amount that they can actually spend on the job, because of limits on over time, and that is typically not issue for the salary employee, so more likely to log more hours at the offers, survey is also suggesting that people who get a salary, while they may get to enjoy little more income, well, they also have to pay the price by giving up more of their personal time. so it is one of those give a little, take a little situations, guys? >> all right, well, let's share t

as we've seen again in the latest gallup poll, there's a lot of public concern about common core. i think there's a perception, certainly, that the standards are being directed by washington, and i think that's hurting a hot. the reality is that standards, i think, are, can be very helpful to school districts in designing their curriculum and how they're delivered. but we need time to do that. we need time for teachers to be trained, to put the curriculum into place to make sure this is dope right. and i think we're not quite there yet. but the notion of having high standards, we think, is critically important. >> host: we're talking with the executive director of the national school boards association. have a specific line in this segment if you're a member of a school board, we'd love to hear from you, 202-558-3882, otherwise lines for participants, teachers and all others -- parents, teachers and all others, those numbers are on your screen, and we will be getting to your calls now. charles is in woodbridge, virginia. good morning, you're on with tom against l. >> caller: good

ever since the bridge's opening four months earlier, residents affectionately call her galluping gertie. because of the way she dances and snakes in the wind. bridges are designed to move a little, but gertie's movements seem a bit extreme. for some residents, crossing her is lake an adventure. >> it was a thrill. it was like a carnival ride. almost a roller coaster. >> historian and author richard hobbs writes about the tacoma narrows bridge in his book, "catastrophe to triumph." >> people would come out on a windy day when there was extra bounce in the bridge and walk across. the motion could be fairly dramatic. >> but some find that wave like motion harrowing. >> as you drove across the bridge you could look ahead and the car in front of you maybe 100 yards would absolutely disappear as you went down the bottom. it was unnerving to a lot of drivers. many who crossed the bridge swore it would be the last time. >>> and on that windy autumn day in 1940, it is the last time anyone crosses that bridge. >> about 10:00 the bridge began to move in ways it had not moved before. the undulation

just 6% in a gallup poll released last week said foreign policy, just 3% iraq. when asked what success against i.s. would look like this is what the white house chief of staff said sunday. >> success looks like an i.s.i.l. that no longer threatens our friends in the region, no longer threatens the united states, can't l accumulate followers, threatens followers in the united states, iraq, syria or otherwise. >> but success isn't can expected for many, many years. shia br rvetio britanzi, al jaz. >>> john hendren is on the front lines with the kurdish army and sent this report. >> from a strategic mountain above villages once held by the islamic group, kurdish peshmerga troops stand in preparation for a push towards mosul. mortar strikes like this in the village of targa, peshmerga trooping captured the mountain, left empty by yazidi. >> this is shakuri this is the i.s, armed i.s. inside the village there. they bombarded there but no longer have the capability. now peshmerga are on the front line and feeling great. >> reporter: a city of 2 million just two hours

leaders, big-city bosses were for him and because a plurality of democratic voters manifested in the gallup poll were for him almost surely would've been the democratic nominee anyway. what about humphrey who was vice president and his boss, lyndon johnson? he had withdrawn from the election. well, johnson withdrew but he hoped somehow he would be asked and remember that convention was scheduled originally to coincide with the johnson's birthday at the end of august. johnson had this lingering hope that he would be able to have a breakthrough in negotiations with north vietnam and somehow bring peace to that war or a breakthrough in negotiations with the soviet union. and go to that convention on the evening of his birthday and announced peace and have the convention stampeded in his favor. that was an unrealized dream but now one johnson ever abandoned. for that reason until well after the convention, it took him a while to get over the fact it did not happen. he continued to treat humphrey as a kind of a staff sergeant with treat a private. it was not until the end of the 1968 campaign. t

news people are not representing the interests of the public and i find an interesting fact in this gallup survey in that 15% of self-identified liberals think the media is too liberal. and i think most of the citizens think the media leans left, and that the reporting reflects that. for serious news viewers they think it's not straight enough they disengage and move on. >> do you know what i think it is mr. farhi? the media has gotten a lot nastier. mean guys now. well, we attack people with whom we disagree. it's not just television people. it's newspaper people. snarky. condescending. name callers.here is your media media, then, the media. when surveys ask about the media, they're not being specific. when i ask about your school, maybe they ask about other schools your viewers love you and trust you. other guys not so great. that is the way people perceive media as a generic concept. >> that is true. but the tipping point happens when the meanness came in. all right? that is when the tipping point happened for the regular folks they went do you know what? i don't want to hear people cal

according to a gallup poll, four in 10 believe it does not matter which party leaves congress, but in fact, it matters a great deal . voters should be deeply concerned about continuing the republican house majority for two reasons at least. first, republicans have ignored the will of the people by refusing to ignore the issues americans care about. secondly, they have overseen the productive and most closed congress in modern history. and doing both, they have directly contradict it the pledges that they made. , ericir book, young guns cantor, kevin mccarthy and paul ryan wrote, we pledge to stand on principle. to lead as adults, and most of all, to serve as responsible stewards of the public trust by listening to the american people. while speaker boehner assumed the gavel, he declared, and ote," above all else we will welcome ideas, encourage and it's and engage in it openly, honestly and respectfully. as the chamber closest to the when it is allowed to work its will. we have better off had been if the house was allowed to ?ork its will you go > 71% of americans want to increase the

over 70% told gallup, noneconomic issues are visitly more important -- vastly more important. last friday, i posted this cartoon. i put this o twitter, people hae gone nuts, funny in a funny way and sad way, reposted a million times. this week we get anniversary of 9/11. but the day before we hear from president obama you on he will deal with isis, airstrikes in syria might be a wild card that american public wants to hear, dani? >> i think this is dicey. we don't have egypt or saudi arabia, unless you have all of theme together it will be a hard pressed to make a right move. i am concerned anywhere we are in the world. i think that transparency will take a big play for obama. charles: what does that mean? >> we say too much, and too soon. i think that hurts us as a nation. charles: matt? >> a few things, i want a short-term plan, and a long-term plan. i also want to hear what he is doing about western-born people joining isis. i want to know how hom homelandl be protected. charles: even -- >> i think that president obama is really in over his head, a year ago we were going to

perception and some of those questions how the president is doing is up 42%, which is shocking because the gallup poll has him in the high 30s. this is not necessarily turning into an election about barack obama. as some republicans thought it would, and a lot of us thought it would. a lot of this is how it's playing out locally and foreign policy has not been something that plays in states as other issues. this is an area where the president is weak and you can expect the republicans to pounce. >> this could possibly become an election issue. the president told the lawmakers he doesn't need their authority. that's almost like saying you don't want to take a tough vote before the election, that's fine, don't do it. >> it would neutralize the subject if he were to say that he was going to go to congress. i spoke with one one congressman today who tell me they do not expect him to seek consultation from congress. more people than we generally see are thinking well maybe the president is going to consult us. i wouldn't count on that. again, that's something that he could do that would gain him a lit
