point out we saw today gallup's number for people's positivity about the job market and chances of landing a good job reached the highest point ever. they have only been measuring it for 17 years but it hit the highest tech ever, people's optimism about finding a good job, they didn't care about bill clinton nancy cut corruption when the economy was good and republicans have to hope it won't be a good issue for democrats of the economy stays high. >> there was a time a commencement speech was all about encouraging students to look to the future so why are universities asking so many democrats to criticize and make fun of donald trump? why is it so 1-sided you take a look at that next. >> is a person i am okay but as an american i'm concerned. there are leaders in our country who blatantly incite people with hateful rhetoric, fear change, who see the world in 0-sum terms. one thought much of it at all. people said it just made a mess until exxonmobil scientists put it to the test. they thought someday it could become fuel and power our cars wouldn't that be cool? and that's why exxo

backing the pres.'s strategy. a new gallup poll, satisfaction with direction of the country at its highest point since 2005. these images, hawaii's kilauea volcano blows stop sending a plume of ash 6 miles into the sky. more violent eruptions could happen at any minute. residents on the big island warned to take shelter is toxic air level spiked. the explosions could go on for weeks. the eruptions shown in this time lapse video could take months to clean up. to another point, police officer fighting for her life after being stabbed in the neck while entering a call. >> an officer stabbed in the throat to be escorted. >> the officer trying to handcuff this woman being evicted after refusing to leave and attacked the officer with a knife, they are pulling her off and saving the unidentified officer's life, she is hospitalized in critical condition, her attacker charged with in attempted murder. an investigator inspecting why a school was collided with a dump truck leaving two people did. a student on board says the bus went airborne before crashing and leaving the fifth grade student

before the democrats got wiped out in the mid terms, this month's gallop had it in a -- gallup had it at a tie. cnn had democrats plus four in april. then november got wiped out. i think anybody paying attention to the polls and making predictions on them needs to look at history. but here's what i think we can look at, which is demonstrative of what is going to happen in november, special elections. an average of 12 point swing to the democrats in federal elections. nd then in arizona, we saw 15 point swing to the democrats. this is, when it's the scoreboard, like, that's -- >> i will say this, dagen and zach, there's certainly more democratic excitement right now. there appear to be more democratic voters turning out and that's something that we saw on tuesday night. the question is, can you maintain that momentum and you have to acknowledge so much can happen, with the economy and the news cycle and with foreign policy and safety and security and stability between now and november that i don't think either side can comfortably say we're going to sail to victory in the november m

. gallup just reported 65% of the country thinks that you can get a good job. highest number since they began taking that question. democrats voted no on the tax cuts and would now like to totally screw up the economy by chasing an impeachment on a topic that doesn't seem to have any substance. >> laura: they got prison reform passed through the house today. that's huge bipartisan issue. huge bipartisan issue that will likely pass the senate. part of the dodd-frank repealed. that's happening. all these judges, 21 judges on the circuit courts getting through. this is good stuff. >> use a really unusual things. you end up looking at van jones, liberal democrat, shows up at the white house as part of prison reform. something you couldn't have seen a year ago. >> laura: i think the kanye west effect is something we still haven't seen fully effective. >> second example. kanye west within three days, black support approval of trump drawn from 11 to 22. >> laura: how much of an increase in african-american support for the president or the republican agenda would devastate the democrats? >> fiv

reluctance to neutrality and they hope to acceptance. his poll numbers are better and gallup saying the president at 43% approval up from 39% last month. generic congressional ballot showing the democrats lost ground with only being three points up if the election were held today. what are your thoughts on that? is that real? how is the revolution on your side working on it? >> the polls will go up and down a lot between now and election day. a long time to go in politics. we are in mid-may and that is an eternity in politics. he will have better weeks and not so great weeks. but in the real world the enthusiasm and energy on the democratic side is incredible. in a midterm election where you generally have low turnouts it will make a difference for districts across the country. >> dana: we saw that in virginia and the gubernatorial election. >> we saw it in rural pennsylvania and montana. even though the democrat didn't win, came 20 points closer than in the presidential race. so i mean it is happening. it happened in kansas and it's happening everywhere. >> dana: i notice in this hour

would love your thoughts on where things stand. look at the poll from gallup showing evolving thinking on behalf of the american people on gun laws from december of 2012. 58% of the public saying they would like to see more strict gun laws. to fast forward to today march of 2018, that is up to 67%. i'm curious. let me start with you, larry. if you get the sense that this is a sustainable and a growing concern with the american people or does it fade as the news gets behind us a little bit? >> well, we see typically a spike in support for gun control generically without defining what you are talking about. overtime, that dissipates and wanes. and support for the second amendment continues to grow over time we have seen in polling. i think it's a momentary blip. when you ask people what they mean by gun control and you start explaining what the laws really are, support for things wane because the laws aren't very strict. it is very regulated. >> dana: of course one of the frustrations that people had -- i gor, i put this to you -- there are laws on the books but in the recent cases the p

a glass pipe demographic about the number of people according to gallup who believe in angels and everybody wants to believe in angels. 72% say they do and you can see the other numbers there. you say that everyone that you saw when you went to heaven was someone that you knew. >> they were. i think the people that i did not know in this life were inside. they did not come out to greet me. i think the ones i greeted at the gates of heaven were the ones who helped me get there. which of course when i came back, that motivated me all the more to try to get people into heaven because i know those people helped me get there the question ultimately is who are you going to greet? who are we going to greet when we go there? i think it's going to be the people we help get there. there was an angel back here on earth when i return. a man climbed in the car of the wreckage because he felt like i told him to. he prayed over the body and i did return because a lot of people were praying for me who did not already know i was dead. it when i came back, i met him three weeks later after i recove

rewarding her for it. meanwhile mainstream media, lowest recorded approval rating in gallup history. she is soaring and mainstream media is sinking. >> what do you think about the headlines? they're tearing her down. they're smearing her. asking where she sleeps at night. if she has a house in the suburbs. is it really any of their business? >> no, it is not any of their business but i would say if this were any other president the same kind of palace intrigue would be going on. we knew very clearly what president obama and michelle obama's relationships were like. they were affection @. the frostiness as it were between melania and her husband is sometimes on display. we saw this with the french visit. with, sorry, with macron how the trumps were behaving. i personally don't like to speculate about these things. you do what you need to do. her priority is protecting her son from all of this gossip and kids more generally. as kayleigh says i like to see where it goes. she doesn't have as many staffers she needs to get it done at the level it should be. i don't want to see anyone mocked for

losing. i don't even get excited to watch anymore. brian: gallup did a poll, what is your favorite sport? 43% of the country said nfl, football, now down to 37%. red says, i will abstain watching a single game for a second year in a row. ainsley: wow. steve: meanwhile something else brian talked to the president about. yesterday the president came out with a tweet and gave what is going on with mr. comey and perhaps a spy close to the trump campaign a name and the name is "spygate." the news today is that devin nunez wants to meet with department of justice officials along with trey gowdy and see some documents or some information regarding that secret source that we've heard a lot about. the names are floating around there, apparently a professor of some sort, and it looks like they're going to have a meeting and go hours of later the gang of eight will come in. these are people who get to see all the big secrets in our nation. how much will they see? what will they be able to take away? we don't know and department of justice isn't saying. >> james comey tweeted, facts matter, th
