nation's capital. a new personal low in his job approval rating in the latest gallup poll. look at that number. 39. 39% here of people approve of the job he is doing. 54% disapprove. less than 15 months before the president faces the voters. so there on the banks of minnesota's cannon river, president obama coming out loaded forbear saying the dead debate say that some politicians and he didn't mention parties would rather see their opponents lose than see american win. tough words. take a listen. >> we ended up creating more uncertainty and more damage to an economy that was already weak. now, we can't have patience with that kind of behavior anymore. i know you're frustrated. i'm frustrated too. >> three states in just three days. by bus for president barack obama. you have minnesota, iowa and then illinois. my colleague, wolf blitzer, is standing by. he hit the road. he got a break from washington. he'll be doing the situation room from the president's next step in iowa. wolf, let's go to you. we heard from the president. pretty tough words today from the president. clearly aimed at the republicans. >> caller: he's really beginning slowly but surely, but he's beginning to get into that campaign mode that republicans have been obviously in that campaign mode against him for several weeks now, whether mitt romney or michele bachmann, now rick perry. they're really hitting him hard. but now he's beginning to respond. it's only going to get more intense in the coming weeks and months. they're really going to go after each other. they've got various talking points. it's going to be a really hot and heavy political season. you can tell right here in iowa, just got here last night. but this is a state where the first in the nation contest takes place. it's not that far down the road. the next president of the united states potentially could come through iowa. it's often happened in the past. so we'll see what happens. but it's going to be a tough fight. the president desperately needs these three states that he's effectively campaigning through, minnesota, iowa and illinois. he won all three of those states in 2008. he needs them again this time to get reelected. he's working hard already trying to generate that support. it's going to be a fierce, fierce battle no matter who the republican nominee is. >> he's working hard. you saw the poll numbers and how americans feel about the president right now. i want to get to more of those polls here in just a moment that show the president's popularity taking a big hit. first, let's all listen together to what may have been the president's most pointed remarks in that speech today in minnesota. he's talking again about the debt negotiations. listen. >> we could solve this problem tomorrow. i put a deal before the speaker of the house, john boehner, that would have solved this problem. he walked away because his belief was we can't ask anything of millionaires and billionaires and big corporations. >> wolf, i know the president's opponents are calling this class warfare. i have a feeling we'll hear a lot of that, that sort of refrain in the coming months. >> we're going to be hearing a lot about it. there are stark differences. i think everyone is beginning to appreciate that between what the president and the democrats believe in and what the republicans including all the republican presidential candidates believe in economic issues, even on national security issues. there's going to be real significant differences. probably less differences on the national security issues than on the domestic economic and social issues. but if it's going to be very clear, there's going to be a real choice for the american people over the coming months and looking up to november 2012. i think that's becoming obvious right now. just take a look at last week's republican debate on so many of the issues, the democrats, including the president totally disagree. it's going to be a whole new world out there. >> there was a story over the weekend, i'm sure you read it. there is this whole debate in the white house whether to try to pass new economic measures. what we heard today was you have number one, extend the cut of the payroll tax, two, extend unemployment insurance and three, new jobs creating infrastructure projects. wolf blitzer, i know you listen to the president a lot. so do i. these are the same three things he's talked about for weeks, just talked about them in holland, michigan. when will we hear something new? >> caller: the white house aides are saying probably in september. he's got a whole list and he reiterated those in the town hall meeting in minnesota earlier this morning. similar list what he put out last we last week creating, infrastructure, extending the payroll tax cut. he's got a whole list of ideas passing free trade area agreements. but he's going to have more substance, we're told, probably in september. they're going to come up with some other job creating ideas. look, there's a limit though what he can do. he can come up with bold initiatives. giving the makeup of the republican majority in the house of representatives, it's unlikely he'll get that passed, especially if it means a lot of spending with the republicans are not going to go forward with. so it's -- he'll stakeout the differences between himself and the republicans. the question is, is any of those new initiatives that he may put forward on the table in september or october, whenever, if there are any of them going to get passed ledge lay tifl and given the makeup of the house, i doubt it. some of these things he can do through executive order by signing a piece of paper. but there's going to be a debate. it's going to be clear that there are enormous differences between the two parties. >> as mentioned, as i mentioned at the top, he's campaigning. you're in the thick of things in the midwest where he's taking this bus tour. on that note, another poll. this is released by cnn. in it, it showed 28% of democrats would prefer another nominee from their own party other than the incumbent president of the united states. do we know, wolf blitzer, which democrats these folks are? is it in the base? >> caller: there may be -- hillary clinton supporters who never really thought that barack obama should get the democratic nomination to begin with. they were fiercely loyal to hillary clinton. i don't think a serious democrat is going to challenge the president for the democratic party nomination. >> you don't? >> caller: i think it's a little late in the game for that. certainly not hillary clinton. if that was going to happen, she would have resigned a long time ago. those who are dreaming about hillary clinton deciding to challenge president obama for the nomination, they're dreaming. that's not going to happen. whether there could be marginal democrat out there who might say i'm going to challenge him, it's a little late for a serious opponent to get traction. but the president is obviously going out there, he's starting to campaign, raising a lot of money already. he'll have a huge financial advantage over any of the republicans. he'll also have the advantage of being the incumbent president of the united states which is a significant advantage. having said that, if the economy is still in very anemic, jobs remain elusive, unemployment rate remains high, he will be vulnerable and he and the democrats know that. >> let's tell everyone, while you're in iowa, you are such the political reporter at heart and maybe wanted to take a break from the d.c. heat and see the majestic cornfields as you blog about on cnn.com/situation room, why are you there, wolf? >> i love iowa. especially every four years. because as you know, brooke i'm a political news junkie. it's great to get here. i posted my blog a little while ago and i noted that i remember vividly when i was here in 1999 just before then governor george w. bush won the iowa caucuses and got the republican nomination, became the president of the united states. i was here in the end of october 2008 when then senator barack obama was running for president just before he got elected in november. >> and now? >> it's great to come here and see what's going on. but i'm going to interview the president tomorrow, tomorrow afternoon. one-on-one interview here in iowa of the we'll air it in the situation room. you and i will talk about it a lot i'm sure. >> i look forward to it. maybe you can share a sneak peek tomorrow. >> you tweeted something about frozen oreos. >> i don't want to give it away. i've heard a little something about you and a bad habit with frozen oreos and skim milk. we'll talk about it next hour. appreciate it. still to come, a little girl, we mention thd off the top. little girl disappears. shocks this small missouri town, especially now that authorities have arrested her neighbor. >> we are still conducting a search for her body. it has not yet been recovered. >> the search for bring an rodriguez goes on. coming up, i'll speak live with the prosecutor leading the case. stay with us. push mush the sons of former slaves it took an hour for her to die. chilling words from a man arrested in the murder of a three-year-old little girl in missouri. 43-year-old shawn morgan is in custody accused of suffocating little breeann rodriguez and dumping her body. the three-year-old missing for more than a week was last seen playing with her pink bicycle in her front yard. in court documents released this afternoon, an investigator shares details in questioning morgan. morgan lives across the street from the family. according to this affidavit i have in my hand, here's what we're learning, morgan saw the girl standing-ois pool ladder that day, grabbed her, took her inside his house and suffocated her with this white plastic trash bag. then he says, according to this document, he put her body in that same trash bag and dumped it in a nearby flood way and reading on her in this piece of paper, he later took apart her bike piece by piece and dumped it around the same place. prosecuting attorney steven sock love joins me on the phone from missouri. let me begin with have you, have investigators found breeann's remains yet? >> no. they're still engaged in the search for her remains at this time. >> i've read this document. it's chilling details coming forward just this afternoon. one thing it's missing here is the motive. do we know yet what enraged this man so much that he felt the urge to attack this three-year-old little girl other than sending her home with her parents? >> as i had indicated, i'm not in a position at this point to speculate about that or to offer any theories in regard to that at this time. >> but based upon hard evidence or hard facts that you have come into knowledge recently, there is nothing yet that shapes into a motive, is that what i'm hearing? >> no. it's just not -- it's not appropriate. i'm prohibited by the rules of professional conduct from offering any kind of information with regard to evidentiary matters in the case. >> sure. >> so that would really fall under that. >> okay. what i find chilling about this particular affidavit here is that morgan said and i'm quoting "he felt like it took an hour for her to die." i mean, other than living down the road from this three-year-old or across the street, what more do you know about this man? because according to report, he's a father of three. >> caller: that is what has been reported to me. again, i hate to be difficult, but as far as evidentiary issues and those matters, basically anything that's outside of the actual charges are things that i'm not -- prohibited to comment on at this point. >> you can't tell me if this family, the rodriguez family had any contact with this man as they lived in the same neighborhood. >> they did live in the same neighborhood. >> did they have prior contact? >> again, that gets into -- >> okay o. >> evidentiary matters. >> i read that this is a small town, like 1600 people. very low crime rate. how has this missouri community reacted to this story? >> it's been, i think, real troublesome to the community. seeing it is a small town and with the typical small town concerns and values and this has been very, very disturbing to the community as a whole. >> stephen sokoloff, thanks so much. >> sure. now this. one moment fans are waiting for a concert to begin. next you saw what happened. they're looking for survivors. what indiana's governor is now saying about blame after a stage collapse at least five people. also, it is classified technology, top secret information here. so did pakistan, an ally of the united states, allow china to see this chopper, at least maybe the tail portion of this chopper that went down during the raid on osama bin laden?

all u.s. troops, they got out alive. but they did lose this one. helicopter, it was especially equipped, secret aircraft designed to be invisible to ground radar. the wreckage is back in the united states. but now pentagon officials have concerns about who possibly saw this helicopter, possibly took some pictures of it and maybe kept pieces of it as well. let's go straight to the pentagon. our correspondent there, barbara starr. barbara, why, why do military officials think that chinese engineers were allowed up close advantage of the secret aircraft and why then would pakistan allow that? >> well, you know, brooke, this is the issue. there's beenish rumors for months that the pakistanis were furious about u.s. troops coming into their country that when this helicopter crashed and some of the wreckage left behind, the pakistanis basically said the heck with it, we'll let our chinese friends and have a look at all of this and see what they think, knowing full well that this was some of the most classified u.s. military technology. so the rumors been out there for some time. but there's a new series of newspaper articles emerging. what u.s. officials are telling us is they now have reason to suspect they say. reason to suspect that the chinese indeed were invited by the pakistanis had a look, maybe took a few samples, you know. this stealth technology on this helicopter would be a prize for the chinese. they're very interested in stealth technology. anything that makes a radar signature less visible, it allows someone to fly through enemy airspace without being detected. it's the leading edge of military technology. the chinese would love to get their hands-on it. the u.s. suspects it has no way of confirming it, brooke. >> so the fear then is if china got a good look at this, they could what? emulate this sort of technology to use it on their own? >> reporter: i think that's actually it. they're good at reverse engineering if you will. taking a piece of technology, figuring out how it's made, going backwards through the production process, figuring out how to make that same technology. so they have some stealth capability in china, but this really is, you know, the cream of the crop of u.s. military technology. there's no way the u.s. would want the chinese to have their hands-on it. and if they do, the u.s. can't confirm it and there's not much that the u.s. can do about it. brooke. >> if this is the case, we've all been reading the same newspaper articles, what would this say about the u.s. pakistan relationship or the relationship between pakistan and china? >> both of them indeed. it will make the strained relationship between washington and islamabad even more strained. the u.s., of course, still grants pakistan billions of dollars in aid every year. so even though invaded pakistani airspace, they certainly expect pakistan not to turn around and give it to the chinese. so that would be a major problem and of course the pakistani chinese military relationship, very tight, very close, something that constantly worries the u.s. because of these very kinds of situations. >> barbara starr, thank you so much. >> sure. >> speaking of pakistan, an american working in another country, disappears in this kidnapping plot. we'll tell what you the kidnappers did to distract security guards. for those lost in the dramatic collapse at the indiana state fair. look at this. you'll hear from a woman who captured the disaster on camera in a moment. who cuddle up with your soreness and give out polar bear hugs. technology.
