according to a new gallup poll, 35% say they would pick a man. only 23% would want a female boss. and four out of ten don't really care. now, interestingly enough, the results haven't changed much since gallup asked that question back in 1953. so what do you think, greg? who makes a better boss? a woman or a man? >> i don't think it matters. what i thought was stunning about this survey is that women prefer male bosses more than male do. that blew my mind. the biggest obstacle to women isn't the glass ceiling. it's the women's ceiling. and my theory for that is that women have a superpower. they're just charming. you can't use it on other women. >> you know, there was an article in "the wall street journal" on this, the tyranny of the queen bee. women are killing other women in the workplace. >> guys can get pretty sucked in by the charms of women. >> ah. >> confession? >> no, i'm just saying nothing anymore right now. >> yeah, what are you saying? >> nothing. i'm done. >> maybe you could charm a female boss, too. >> never happened. >> dana, now, you think that women are great bos

according to gallup, three quarters of americans now support a $9 an hour minimum wage. the minimum wage currently at 7.25. the poll also found and this is a key thing, 69% support automatic increases of the federal minimum wage that would be tied to inflation. of course inflation has been tough the last couple of years. >>> police say a real life bonnie and clyde have been caught. the couple accused of robbing 13 banks in florida, two in alabama just since last december. they were arrested at their home in tampa. police say robberies followed a similar pattern. couple would wear disguises including gloves, hats and afro style which is. emanuel handed the teller yellow index cards demanding all the money in the drawer. his wife waited outside as the getaway driver. the first break came when their license plate was picked up on a surveillance video after a robbery. police say more than $54,000 was stolen. >>> now to business, stocks posted some modest gains enough for the dow to close at a record high for the third time this month and i believe the 35th time of the year.

if you go back, gallup did an interesting poll, 71% of uninsured americans didn't know, weren't familiar with the affordable care act. now what are they seeing? broken website. cancellation letters going out to millions of americans saying, they're going to lose their existing coverage. something no one expected because the president repeatedly said if you write your plan you can keep it. notice, is that new premiums might be higher in some cases. so all of this kind of goes in to play they can't get on the website to find out more information. it's this perfect storm of a lack of information, information they're getting that they didn't expect a president who made promises that it appeared, at least a lot of people in the white house knew he wouldn't be able to keep. >> schieffer: you base that on what -- there's story this morning in the "washington post" that details before the president made those statements that if you like your health care plan, you can keep it. that they were debating in the white house whether he should say -- >> the journal had a great piece yesterday talking ab

president obama's gallup approval rating, which has now fallen to just 39%, so my question this evening with obama's credibility on the line, why would the white house resort to new lots about obama care. >> it's really not necessary. here now we have health policy forum. kelly ann conway, president and ceo of the polling company. we welcome ron foreign yeah. lying about lies, credibility matter. fournier, why are they doing all of this. it will damage his credibility even more. >> i don't know why they're doing it. it's political malpractice, any leader whether you're in politics, business, running a church, you have to have credibility. especially towards the young millennials. the president has to convince them this is good for them, good for their families, good for their future, good for the country. it's going to be hard to do if he is caught shading the truth, spinning and lying. >> you know, before i get to the others, i just want to say something you noted in your excellent column today. >> thank you. >> you said obama was reading from written notes. you looked at it. you belie

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

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

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

gallup poll's latest, 55% disapprove of obama care now. >> president obama touched on something that athink a lot of people aren't thinking about and truly the people suffering through this may not care but he apologized to fellow democrats. he is not up for re-election and a lot of them are. he said i know i hurt them because everybody jumped on board with this and it has been a failure so far any way. they hope it will pick up on the democratic side. >> no doubt. the facebook question of the day we are asking what else could the president do to restore confidence in his health care program? can't wait to see your responses. >>> gunshots rang out at a children's hospital triggering a two-hour lockdown that separated panicked parents from their sick babies. police got a tip that a man with an arrest warrant was in the neonatal wing. he put the baby down but made a run for it. the man was shot in the arm. no one else was hurt. >>> james whitey bulger will spend the rest of his life in prison. the judge told him his crimes were unphatable as she sentenced him to two consecutive life se

the other side of the coin is 53% disapprove, that is a gallup poll. in new york city, now he is way out there on the left. in virginia. what do you make of all of this? charles: it is began to work in places you would not think it would work. it has not been hit to the degree of the rest of the countries, that it does show you i can be doing the best bid people at the peak of their lives, making 110,000 per year, but they feel good about themselves but they hear somebody made a billion dollars, they feel less of themselves. politicians have learned how to capture that emotion for their own good. talk about income inequality. the game plan has been implemented in cities and states around this country. income inequality has gotten worse, not better. stuart: she won by two points he had eating the republican candidate just two points. libertarian party candidate cap six points of the vote. in other words, the right were split and allow the click a list to walk in and win. i know what you're going to say. he gave a great deal of money to the libertarian c

that question has been asked by gallup every year for a decade, and this is the highest number, 60%, that's ever been reported. what do you make of that? >> it's common sense. this government doesn't pass the laugh test. for our government to be, both parties, to be looking to cut some medicare and medicaid at a time when people want to be strengthening those programs and actually taxing the rich and cutting back on the military, this is absolutely preposterous. so, it's wonderful that people are waking up to this and are ready. people have been ready for a long time. as we went into the last election, polls were showing that about half of eligible voters were not happy with either candidate. this is why the political system works so hard. one of my biggest wakeup moments in the political process was in my first campaign i was running for governor in massachusetts and there i was, suddenly in a debate. and saying just sort of the normal everyday things that we say to each other sitting around our dining room tables. and i found myself being voted the winner of the debate. and declare

. >> 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

the new gallup poll spotlights the main problem it says a 6% of american adults believe the government is not, not responsible for providing health insurance to we the people. just 42% say it is. now, no question is blood in the political water and when that happens, when a president shows weakness, his administration comes under siege. all kinds of things emerge. for example, the "new york post" is reporting that the census bureau may have fabricated unemployment numbers one month before the presidential election last year. in october of 2012, the unemployment number dropped from 8.1% to 7.8%. some economists found that very harvard to believe. immediately after the election, the unemployment rate went back up to 7.9%. if it's proved that unemployment numbers were manipulated, there will be hell to pay. already the house oversight committee has announced it will investigate. tonight, there are reports debunking the story and we will have more on it tomorrow. so, you can see, there is more chaos on the horizon. and every american will feel it. we are a country that depends on a robust

most recent number released by gallup friday puts it low, down to 61%, but still a majority. joining me to discuss the enduran endurance, we have walter mears with the associated press become to the table and jane hall, robert macneil, former television report and news anchor and philip shannon, author of the book "a cruel and shocking act," the secret history of the kennedy assassination. a former reporter with the new york times. philip with a book title like that, you're the perfect person to start this discussion with. first, explain in your view why people -- why is there -- so easy for people to believe there must have been more to this story than lee harvey oswald and what have you found about the truth? >> there had to be something more to the story. the warren commission, they called oswald the pitch squeak, the idea this pitch squeak with a $21 mail order rifle could change the world in a mill second, could bring down the most powerful, most glamorous man in the world didn't make sense. it made more sense there was a group of evil men behind closed doors who had don

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

"gallup poll" shows an approval rate of 9%, nine. that is the lowest in gallup's 39 year history of asking the question. here is bob cusack, managing editor of "the hill." and you have to wonder, bob, since the rollout of obama care is really just getting underway, whether the president's numbers might be headed lower still? >> oh, yeah, that's a distinct possibility, unless there is some good news for democrats. been all bad news this month since the government shutdown which is in part to blame for the congressional numbers. what obama has to worry, these enrollment numbers will not be good they are releasing later this week and it's a vicious cycle because the website can not have a lot of people on it, but they need millions of people to sign up for obamacare or else premiums will go sky-high. that is the problem for the white house. they have to get this website fixed. that is the first step. even in mid-november, they can't say by the end of the month it is going to be fixed that is what the administration is promising. democra

and the gallup poll, the president's approval number to 40%. 40% approve and 53% disapprove. crystal wright is with us. crystal, do you see-- am i going too far if i say, look, that's a turning point, a 40% approval rating is very, very low. it's because of obamacare. is it a turning point and our whole attitude toward the president? >> well, i don't think you're going far enough. i think you're spot-on though. i think the american people finally are seeing that they cannot trust president obama and really, obamacare is the death nell i would say in america's relationship with this president. think about this, this was his hall mark legislation. he campaigned on this for the first year and a half of his presidency and he said, if you like your health plan, you can keep it. what we're seeing is obamacare boils down to, you cannot -- it's about the health plan you will not keep and how your premiums will likely triple. so i think on top of, you know, the nsa spying, benghazi, i didn't know about benghazi, i didn't know about healthcare.gov and the american people scratch their
