if you look up gallup, trust in the media is at an all-time low. it s counterproductive for people in the media to drive, sensationalize headlines are buzzfeed and cnn running information about the unsubstantiated dossier because it feeds the distrust in the media and then when the media actually tries to hold donald trump accountable on things that maybe he should be held accountable on, nobody is going to believe it. it s counterproductive for them to continue this mass hysteria. juan, you know, there s the media talking about how scary it is. there frightening children. they are frightening children about what is going to happen with president trump as obama frees a bomber, and fln terrorist. that s kind of scary. i would look at the specifics of the case. i don t think it s that scary. i thought the, you just made that the press was so easy on obama. we are sitting here at fox news.
it s good to be in good hands. more hearings on the hill for president-elect donald trump s nominees. we ve got highlights. first up, the man picked to oversee the dismantling of obamacare, dr. tom price. bernie sanders tried his hardest to create some drama while questioning the hhs nominee. do you believe that health care is a right of all americans, whether they are rich or poor? we are a compassionate society. no, we re not. in terms of our relationship to poor and working people, our record is worse than any other country. we have the highest rate of childhood poverty and half of our senior, older workers have nothing set aside for retirement. so i don t think, compared to other countries, we are particularly compassionate.
the state could turn for romney with little campaigning. we do not see the candidates in minnesota. gregg: now, the gallup poll on approval numbers. the president s gallup number is plus four points just posed rasmussen and he is underwater, negative two points. what do you make of this? doug: i would take the approval number in both polls, at 49. that is about the level i would hypothesize and pat would probably agree that the incumbent will get. if the incumbent gets 49 and governor romney gets almost 99 percent of outstanding vote, we are in a very, very close election so while the two polls are dispratt disparate, i draw the same conclusion. pat: i have said if the approval obama is at a critical inpositive.
governor is clear. gregg: i am glad you brought up gallup and rasmussen. here is rasmussen, with romney up by to points and look at gallup tracking poll, pat, romney is up, as of 1:00 o clock this afternoon, romney is up plus seven points. is that gallup poll accurate? or an outliar? i think it is an outliar because i have a problem with the seven-day seven day rollings because you are putting in 350 interviews which is margin of error at 15 points and each day you take one out. however, obama is i take gallup and rasmussen and i divide by two and i might do more than that. rasmussen shows romney up in the swing states by four points. if you look at the race, it is what doug said, very close, but it is moving to romney.
