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
the people in that room and want to be with them. ronald tkpwaeug and related to you no matter where you were at. megyn: can you learn that? is that something you can fake or be taught, or pick up for election purposes? it s hard to learn, but if mitt romney wants to go further he has to learn to listen to understand that side of it. it s tough. i mean it was in ronald reagan s core values, it s in herman cain s core values also. but he s not the only one who has trouble when he walks into a room looking for the door out of the room. the most comfortable right now is herman cain. maybe rick santorum is comfortable in the room, but mitt romney if he wants to go further needs to start relating to the people at the water cooler, not the people who own it. megyn: interesting. there was an interesting piece talking about how even though conservatives would prefer a different candidate saying that, quote, we must rally behind romney, because he is sort of the next wave of what was once
president, but he needs to think about the primaries and winning the primaries not only in iowa, new hampshire but south carolina and what have you. and the conservatives if they really want to beat back mitt romney, they have to pick the horse they wanted to get on right now and get behind that horse, otherwise mitt romney will be the nominee. megyn: michael, why does mitt romney, although he s said to be very economy, that he s obviously a smooth debater, but why is it that he doesn t connect with voters the way someone like herman cain does, or or others do. i think i was saying to you last week he relet s to the guy who owns the water cooler but he doesn t relate to the guy who takes water from it. he really doesn t. herman cain loves being with people. ronald reagan loved being with people. you used to have to drag him out of the room. you have to drag herman cain out of the room. you don t have to drag mitt romney out of the room he s looking for the door out the moment he wa
someone else, the other guy, the anti-romney, and whether it was rick perry who then sunk in the polls, herman cain who is in a downward trajectory. newt gingrich who is getting attacked for his personal issues and so one. they continue to look past mitt romney, why and should they? the thing is that everybody knows mitt romney. there is nothing knew about mitt romney. he s been running for president, what for six or seven years at this point in time. there is nothing really new. mitt romney, you know, really if he wants to move up i would suggest to him start reaching out to the conservatives within your own party. that s what he needs to do. so you have conservatives right now looking for that one person up against mitt romney because they ve always had trouble with mitt romney since he was governor of massachusetts, romney care if you will, and the christian community has always had a problem with the fact that he is mormon. they ve been a taught for years that is a cult and they
