look at this. the number one issue to all of the voters today was the economy. and not by a little bit. a massive amount. this is just one of the indicators here. look at who voted today. the biggest single group in this was people who made $50,000 to $100,000 a year. but if you look at everybody from $200,000 on down in income, down here we have $200,000 or more, look at who won in these categories. rick santorum, at least in terms of what we heard from the exit polls, everybody in each of these categories said they wanted him and they re the ones that they voted for. and look at how massively, particularly we look at the numbers down here. in this case santorum, 48%. gingrich got the sikd number. romney comes in here at 22%, tied with gingrich. but still a massive lead for santorum. even bigger when you go down here to the under 30,000. look at that. santorum, 64%. romney tied with ron paul at 12%. the only area in which mitt romney won was in people who made $200,000 or mo
i m don lemon. thank you for joining us. we re going to start with breaking news just into cnn. her story was one of the most amazing and the most tragic that you re going to hear from the tornado zone. a toddler named angel babcock loses her entire family yet somehow she s found alive in the middle of a field possibly carried away for miles by a twister. with 38 people dead in a rash of killer tornadoes, she has become a symbol of hope in the destruction. but her hold on life was just too delicate. we have learned that her extended family was forced to take her off life support and now baby angel has died. susan candiotti standing by live for us in indiana where the girl was found. susan, so sad to hear this news. you have gotten a chance and you have spoken exclusively to the man who found her as we were getting this sad information. reporter: it is, indeed, so sad, especially because this really is a case and a story that captured everyone s heart. i think everyone that
first lady and president will be speaking, they re saying they will be there close to the top of the hour but you never know because the president does drve he s one of the early ones as opposed to bill clinton, a little bit late sometimes and then george bush who they said was always on time. so we may get some of it live here in this newscast. stick around. we want to go to mark preston standing by live in washington. so, mark, less than two years ago president obama was on top of the world. i guess he was president-elect then. now his approval ratings are really in the mid-40s and he s obviously the main issue right now is the economy. what else is fueling though this republican resurgence right now? well, don, it s nothing that s happening here in washington, d.c. when i say that, it s not the republican establishment or the republican leadership on capitol hill. this is being driven by grassroots activism, grassroots activism we saw really pop up in full force right around augus
up from this mine in just moments. standing by on the ground, carl penhaul. number 22. he monitored the gas in the mine. everyone did something to keep everyone else alive. we ve seen different individuals come out of the hole today. we can tell you a story. we see someone come up like mario selvepovida. he s flashy. and the first man out of the hole, he was quiet and did the video work. and here, 22, the guy who checked the gases, he, in fact, is the elder brother of the
do we know who s standing by waiting for him, carl? no, we know he has children as well. so i imagine that his wife and two of his children will be on standby to see him. he had not worked that long in the mine. he d beenhere for about five month ms. but i guess it was his brother that said, hey, this job s going here. and it s a steady wage. and for that reason, he left his job as a street vender to take up what could have been a fatal job. luckily as i say that we ve been saying they all played as a team there, don. and it s very we see the folks that are standing by waiting for him to come up, number 22. not just a number, his name is samuel avalos, again, the person who keeps an eye on everything to make sure they weren t going to be overcome by noxious gas. you can see the president,
