getting idea of themes that conservatives are talking about several months ahead of the midterm elections. do you feel like they re on the right course? that what they re talking about could change that poll more to their favor? sure. i believe so. one, because we see obama s approval ratings so low. his disapproval is at 54%. when you take it down to the specific issue, which i think voters are really going to be focusing on is obamacare. and when you look at those numbers the disapproval for president obama on obamacare is 59%. then let s take it broader. look at those independents. the independents are pessimistic they re angry. those individual i think will break for republicans come november. those are the numbers we are looking at. jenna: what do you think they will break towards republicans and not just not show up to vote because it is a midterm election and everybody is sort of disillusioned with washington? independents in this poll said they were twice as likely to vote
republicans to come in with a good message. basically not only saying how obamacare is not working but presenting solution that is would be attractive to the american voter. that then they can go and say okay, you know what? i think we ll move on with republicans. you have to think this is generic ballot. historically generic ballots are two or three points behind on republicans, we re going to do well. jenna: joe, let me ask you, mercedes brought up health care and i will let you respond to what she said as well. this is another question asked as part of fox news poll. when it comes to support of health care law, are you likely to vote against, vote for or no different? majority of those who responded said, vote against the candidates who support the health care law. vote for, and no different are more than that. 55% of the poll. so what do you think is really impact of the health care law as you look towards november? well, no, the health care law is going to be one of the issues
we still don t know the answer to that the press has a lot more to do on obamacare. judy miller. great to see you. appreciate it. look forward to your book. me too. jenna: good for you, judy. don t give too much away. we ll read it. gregg jarrett with the hardest questions. in new york city the oldest crown known to man appropriately at institute of study for ancient world at new york university. we thought it sounded pretty cool. if you can t make it there for yourself, we have it covered. royalty, beauty queens, and celebrities. all share the same accessories, the crown. but where did the crown come from? what did the first crown look like? no one knows for sure. historians believe it looked something like this. a crown found what is modern day israel that is around 6,000 years old. some belief in this is the oldest crown ever discovered. why is it so significant? i think it is important for a number of different reasons.
the media. obviously, he s feeling rather bruised by his treatment. jenna: do you think that s wise? he seemed to have a good relationship with all sorts of media outlets. then the scandal hit, and things have changed, obviously. do you think it s wise to take on the media so brad broadly? oh, sure. for a republican trying to ingratiate himself with the grassroots activists, they don t love the media. christie probably feels we trayed by the media, and even if there had been no bridge scandal, chris christie wasn t invited to cpac last year. being in a blue state he s governed more like a moderate republican. so there were other things that he said in this speech about how republicans have to be for something and not just against things like obamacare. he tried to contrast himself as a can-do governor with the people in washington, some of whom may run against him in 2016 if he runs for president who he says are basically all talk and spitballing, but since we in the
the in fact he called it negligent. he said the new york times, look, you worked there. yes. was there some sort of pressure to slant things in a liberal way? i m writing a book now, gregg, that is going to address that topic. i want to say on obamacare i think the new york times has done a relatively good job on the factual side. a lot of the reporting about the problems with this program have been reported in the paper. right. it is characterizations of them that seem to be slanted. but got pressure? i come on. give a sneak peek in your book. i did not get pressure in the way you imagined. nobody told it to you but there was subtle and psychological atmosphere at the newspaper because journalist there is have something in common, and that is sort of this liberal view of things. i think most americans would have hoped that obamacare would have worked and now the apparent
