in a gallup poll. >> people who lost insurance? >> uninsured people, the people it was designed for. >> it's not just whether people do it. it's what type. >> it needs to work. >> it's structurally flawed. it was not intended -- i was ranking on the health committee and during the time it was, i wasn't ranking but i was still on the health committee. the bill was structured to fail, in my opinion because the folks writing it want to move to a single payer system. >> you don't think it was intentional? >> i happen to believe -- >> that's diabolical. did hour dean design it? he wants single payer. >> the staff knew what they were doing. you would set up exchanges that when subsidized wouldn't be affordable and you would collapse the exchanges into a single payer system. >> you think the whole thing is a ruse? >> it's designed to move to a single payer system. >> corporations will say, i don't need this. >> you will have folks moving employees into exchanges because why should they pay the full cost of insuring employees when they can

that was a gallup poll. now you have all of these problems. i mean, we need 41 million people to do this that are uninsured and you've got 26,000 in the first month. i mean, 26,000 sounded like a pretty good number to me. it seemed like a lot of people. >> 100,000 people with the state but even 100,000 when you're talking about 41 million -- that's why we did this, that was the whole rationale behind this. do you really think it's going to work? >> yep. so let me tell you, our volume in the first couple of days was off the chart. it still remains fairly high but initially we had people through our retail centers. we have retail centers all across the state of florida. i have 16 retail centers where consumers can engage us. we have a direct phone line. we have agents all across the state. we were prepared and executing 3,000 meetings across the state during this entire open enrollment period. we had a tremendous amount of activity. we know we had upwards of 100,000 people that were ready to enroll. so there's a lot of interest out there. the ch

gallup, take a look at the numbers with me. just completed a survey and found this approval rating now dipping down to 39%. so let's take you to the white house to our senior correspondent there jim acosta, who had a pretty interesting exchange with jay carney not too along ago. tell me about that. >> reporter: that's right. the only thing that can explain that dip, and it's a significant dip, in those poll numbers is this intervening event that occurred with the rollout of obama care. then the president basically having this problem with something that he said to the american people time and again f you like your plan, you can keep it, talking about their insurance before the implementation of obama care. of cour obviously, that's not been the case, with millions of americans. receiving cancellation notices. we've gone back to jay carney time and again to ask him about the president's words. in the meantime, the president last night at an event with the organizing for action group that is basically his post-campaign volunteer

that's actually the highest in gallup's polling history. now, earlier this morning, the late president's younger sister laid a wreath at her brother's grave. >> jean kennedy smith is his last surviving sibling. she campaigned around the country for him in 1960, and in dallas, the city where he fell, a moment of silence as we mentioned is going to be held exactly 50 years after the assassination. >> we're going to bring that to you live. that's less than an hour from now. as we said first time dallas has officially commemorated jfk's death. let's talk a bit more with cnn's chief national correspondent john king along winning historian david kaiser who wrote the book "the road to dallas, the assassination of john f kennedy." let's start with you, david. it's fascinating looking at poll numbers and the popularity of the president. i suppose when is a life is taken that way in the consciousness of many people, you can basically rewrite how you thought or wanted the story to go. and you know, sort of change it along to suit your own thoughts. yo

this new gallup poll released today finds only 9% approve of the job congress is doing. 9%. it is the lowest congressional approval rating in the 39 years that gallup has actually asked the question. the reason that people give, the top reason here of course, it's understandable is the partisanship, the bickering that is surrounding the partial government shutdown that happened just last month. >> in anyone's language, 9% is staggering. i mean -- you could get friends and family to make up 9%. that is amazing. right now on capitol hill actually, a congressional committee is grilling the man charged with fixing the flawed obama care website. todd park is the white house's top technology officer. he was subpoenaed last week by the committee's republican chairman, representative darrell issa. now the white house fought to have him testify in december instead. >> so the administration they said, well, he's way too busy. he's under this deadline to get the site fixed in two weeks. so they lost that battle. here's what park said today about the improvements that they're making on

but a 1962 gallup poll shows that was not always the case. a year before that, a future president warned against socialized medicine. >> you and i are going to spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it once was like in america when men were free. >> the former president -- >> reporter: but with harry truman at his side, lbj signed medicare into law. its rollout was smooth, thanks in part to intense planning. in a 1966 memo, president johnson wrote, quote, perhaps never except in mobilizing for war has the government made such extensive preparations for any undertaking. so is that where the obama administration fell short? >> many of the comparisons between medicare and obama care are misplaced. what the johnson administration was trying to do was much simpler administratively. >> reporter: not to mention technologically. >> we're so beholden to computers, and we have such faith in technology to solve our problems. but some of the problems are essentially more complex than that. >> reporter: also more comp

according to the latest gallup poll, 39% of americans approve of the job that he's doing. the majority, 53%, disapprove. the president's lowest rating was 38%, and that was in 2011. problems with the obama care rollout are likely to blame for these plunging numbers. >> as for obama care, chris christie has some advice for the president, speaking exclusively with cnn's jake tapper aboard his campaign bus. the new jersey governor offered a suggestion to the president about backtracking on a promise that americans who like their health insurance would be able to keep it. >> here's what my suggestion would be to him, don't be so cute. and when you make a mistake, admit it. now, listen, if it was a mistake in 2009, if he was mistaken in 2009, 2010 on his understanding on how it would operate, then just admit it to people. say you know what, i said it, i was wrong. i'm sorry, we're going to try to fix it and make it better. i think people would give any leader in that circumstance for owning up for it. don't lawyer it. people don't like lawyers. i'm a lawyer. they don't like the

. >> the latest gallup poll shows that 58% of the american people favor legalizing marijuana. do you think that more focus needed to put on how to make it work rather than debating whether it's a good idea. has the train left the station and now should we just be worried about safety for the train? >> i think that's right. there are lots of questions that the state has to decide and eventually the federal government will have to decide. the current train leaving the station is commercial legalization pretty much on the model of alcohol and tobacco. those seem to be like two very bad models to follow and i think we ought to be able to do better. but the piecemeal state by state approach rules out what would be the best solution which would have it be distributed by state agencies but you can't do that while cannabis is -- >> colorado -- >> i would like to get this out of the hands of the initiative writers and into the hands of the ledge lores. >> colorado recently passed a law to tax marijuana, sales at a rate of 15%. do you think that's a good model to follow considering lega

just 39% of americans approve of the job he's doing, according to the latest gallup poll. 53% now say they disapprove of the president's job performance. those numbers weren't expected to take much of a hit after the government shutdown. republicans reserving much of the blame for that debacle. but that was before the disastrous rollout of the healthcare.gov website. >>> words of advice from new jersey governor chris christie in an interview with jake taerp, christie suggested a difference ponce to the offer that obama gave for americans to keep their health insurance. >> here's my suggestion, don't be so cute. and when you make a mistake, admit it. listen if it was a mistake in 2009, if he was mistaken in 2009, 2010 on his understanding of how the law would operate, then just admit it to people. say you know what, i said it, i was wrong. i'm sorry, and we're going to try to fix this and make it better. i think people would give any leader in that circumstance a lot of credit for just, you know, owning up to it. instead of now trying to -- don't lawyer it. people don't like lawyers. i

some of the polling out of the country by gallup showed that 2/3 of the people wanted a western style democracy, and you had hyper inflation, you have mass unemployment in, you have a situation where iran was having a hard time funding the type of instability it likes to create throughout the region. one of the reasons that other regimes throughout the middle east are concerned about our approach is that they feel that in letting up on iran and loi t lifting sanctions in iran, to take that money and continue to support hezbollah, hamas, attempts to overthrow saudi arabia, their match nations in other governments arounda region. >> they're still a sponsor of terrorism. >> they are a state sponsor of terrorism trying to get a bomb. >> thank you so much, ed royce, eliot engel, appreciate your time today. when we return, should the iran deal spark an arms race in the region? could it? house intelligence chairman mike rogers is next. i didn't know the coal thing was real. it's very real... david rivera. rivera, david.

president is doing in the white house. 53% say they now disapprove, according to the latest numbers from gallup. it puts the president just one percentage point above his lowest approval rating of 38%. back in 2011. well some are pointing to the botched roll-out of the president's health care reform website and of course the mountain criticism from all of that as well. president's point person for implementing obama care back on capitol hill, you see there, full damage control mode. we're talking about health and human services secretary, kathleen sebelius. testifying again. this time it is before the senate finance committee. she's facing some new questions about the troubled roll-out of the website. healthcare.gov. here's some of the back and forth. >> the 88% of americans we satisfied with their current health insurance plan. which is why the president no doubt made the promise that he made, and as you can see, as of yesterday afternoon, the white house website says if you like your plan, you can keep it. and you don't have to change a thing due to the health care law. well we know that lyin

. >> a new gallup survey found 30% of uninsured americans are familiar with the exchanges. so what may well happen is that a lot of people are only going to learn about the exchanges once they start getting hit with penalties. i think that there are a lot of huge issues we haven't anticipated. also, the law has cuts in payments that are provided to hospitals that provide care for the indigent, because the expectation was many people uninsured would get coverage. if you have those cuts happen before you see that robust coverage expansion, that's going to cause a lot of big headaches, as well. the law involves a lot of unintended consequences that will keep having political consequences, not just for the next few months but for the next few years, whether or not the exchanges are fixed. >> all right. cnn political commentators -- i have to call it there -- raihen salam, we got a lot more in this week. thank you for joining us. >> thanks, victor. >>> next, the book on johnny cash and the man who wrote it. ♪ i'm stuck in folsome prison and time keeps draggin' on ♪ >> a new

take a look at the gallup pull from just last month. the majority of americans favor legalizing marijuana. 10% surge in the past year. it's worth noting, when they first took the polling, in 1969, only 12 favored legalization. and of course, as we continue to see legalized marijuana catch on, the states, they're cashing in. a recent study says the u.s. leelg marijuana market is growing faster than smartphone sales. the same report says that this year the u.s. market netted more than $1 billion. and that next year, it could net more than $2 billion. >> some states are legalizing marijuana for recreational use, some municipalities are doing the same thing. the federal government does not believe in legalized marijuana so there's a fight going on right now. haas going on? >> it is. and you know what, the federal government has really taken a very ambiguous stance on this. marijuana is still illegal under federal law, it is still listed as one of the most dangerous substances in the controlled substances act. yet the federal government says

in fact, in a recent gallup poll done earlier this month, it actually came in third behind dissatisfaction with government and health care concerns, general health care concerns. so while the dow is doing really well, while unemployment is ticking down, you're simultaneously seeing the president's approval ratings dip. in fact, they're at an all-time low in some polls. >> they certainly are. there's another story we're watching. the white house catching some grief as you know for the president not attending the 150th anniversary of the gettysburg address. the president did record a version of the address for a project that's being organized by ken burns, the film maker. i did a version for him as well. but there was a difference between these versions and the president's getting some criticism. explain what's going on. >> reporter: that's right. the version that the president read, wolf, did not include the words "under god" as the version that you and the dozens of other folks on the project, theirs included those words. well, the white house, officials here saying that's not our fault, t

this new gallup tracking poll that came out today, only 39% approve. that's pretty low. what does he do to fix this? >> i think he's got a huge problem first of all because out of pride or something, he can't be honest. i mean, they're now in effect lying about having lied. that's what you saw last night in the president's speech. that's what you saw today with jay carney. chris christie had pretty good advice for the president. relax and say i blew it. he blew it at least 29 times we know for sure, where he personally said no one will lose their insurance. but let me give you an example how real this is. the moffitt cancer treatment center in tampa is probably the most sophisticated in florida. it's just been dropped by united health out of the option you're allowed to choose. so you won't be able to go there if you take that particular option. i think people need to understand, this is about real change that affects people's lives. >> hold your thought for "crossfire." we're out of time on this segment. i know both of you will have a lot more 6:30 p.m. eastern. don't f
