seen the right direction numbers bombing out in the teens, that s as bad as they were in the closing days of the bush administration. we see things moving in the wrong direction from the president s point of view. if he can improve those numbers between now and next november he improves his chances for re-election. megyn: why is that put on the president, wrong track? because we ve seen rate insurance of congress are far lower than the president s approval rating. why do we conclude that that is a reflection of how the president is doing. ratings are always lower for congress and the president, doesn t matter what congress and what president there is. but the president is seen as the guy in charge. and when your baseball team isn t playing well you fire the manager, and when the political team isn t doing well you fire the guy in charge. the big number really that is driving all of this is perceptions of the economy. on the day that president obama took office 35% of americans said t
megyn: in general as someone who has been tracking the polls since this president took office, are the polls headed in the right or wrong directions for him and his reee phrebgs chancesrere-election chances. they have been headed in the wrong direction but have stabilized at a new point recently. the numbers worrying the president should be the economic numbers, the right direction numbers. they ve got to show improvement between now and next year, because the one thing that we know for sure is that the people who right now aren t committed between a republican and president obama already think the president is doing a poor job, they just want to see if there is a better alternative presented. megyn: scott, thank you. thank you, megyn. megyn: another poll getting attention today, a bloomberg survey showing a four-way tie for first place in iowa between herman cain, newt gingrich, mitt romney and ron paul all within the statistical margin of error. it is raising questions about whet
absolutely know what happened. megyn: i say i that sometimes someone surfaces with a baby they didn t have a year ago and the baby is a year old. we ve seen scenarios before, someone within the family unit. we don t know. the public remains the eyes and ears of law enforcement. if there has been suspicious activity, or someone has shown up with an infant with not a real good explanation we really urge that person to contact their local police and report it. that may not even be in the city of kansas city. that may be in other parts that of region. megyn: i want to show the viewers, because i know one of the things that your group works to do is age progression images. baby lisa was she disappeared when she was ten months old. now she is a year old. it s maybe a little unripe in this case although babies change very quickly at that age. just to show the viewers the amazing technology that you folks employ to help law
