you know, that's part of the issue here. we are still seeing big job losses and we are seeing unemployment that was higher than the analysts and administration thought going into this year. and as long people are losing their jobs, that's why you see them hanging on to their wallets and hanging on to their money and not spending money and not being confident as consumers. >> president obama is losing some of his popularity as well. the poll shows 37% strongly disapprove of his job performance. 30% do strongly approve. it finds the voters are trusting republicans more these days to deal with the economy. what kind of impact is that going to have? >> well, it is -- it just shows that people are getting impatient. and as this slowdown continues. and everyone said going into this year, it was going to be tough. and it continues to be tough. the president did say that at the end of the g-8 summit in italy we did avoid economic disaster to paraphrase him. but that the recovery still has a ways to go. that's very clear but as long as the economy is still sluggish,
