good morning, welcome to "early show." i'm wragge. >> i'm erica hill. how frustrated voters are with washington. president obama's job approval rating is reaching an all-time low, but he is still miles ahead of congress when you look at the numbers. a cbc news/"new york times" poll shows only 12% of americans say congress is doing a good job. that is the worst showing in the history of our polling. joining us now, cbs news chief washington correspondent bob schieffer. incredible to see it get this low. were you surprised by that 12%? >> well, i never heard of anything like this. this is just extraordinary. i mean, the folks over at the white house say, you know, been really doom and gloom over there about how the president's approval rating, i think, in the latest gallup poll is down to 39%. but, my heavens, he's 20 points ahead of the members of congress. only 12% approval rating. i've never heard of anything. i think that probably some car thieves have a higher approval rating than 12% in their local communities. this has got to be, erica, a shot across for every local official. people are really fed up. >> they are. but it seems like we said that about 17% earlier this year. you wonder when that wake-up call will come through. i want to break it down by party. they asked which party they approve of. so, taking a look at this, the disapproval and the approval numbers you see there. the democrats actually have a slight edge over republicans when it comes to the approval numbers. does that surprise you at all? >> really, no. i mean, and i'm not sure there's that much difference. there must be some sort of margin of error there. people are just fed up with all of them and that's what this underlines. erica, there was one number that i saw that only 6%, 6% think that members of congress deserve re-election. i mean, when you're in that kind of territory, i mean, i never heard of a poll that had a minor in it. but, i mean, we may go below zero here. >> we were actually joking about that in the newsroom this morning. that may be what we see next. some sort of minus figure. taking a look forward. we have been focusing so much on campaign 2012 that gets into full swing here. looking at some of the frontrunners among the republicans. how do you think they would fair, especially given what we've seen in response from the american people from this latest poll? >> one thing we should underline, it is very, very early. it is a long way from election day of 2012. but what you're seeing now in the republican party is republicans have been very dissatisfied with their own field and i think that was reflected by sort of the mead yoric rise of rick perry when he got into the race. here you basically had mitt romney who was the frontrunner for about two years now and then perry announces and suddenly he gets 10 or 15 points ahead of mitt romney and then we saw in the most recent debate rick perry finding out what it's like to be the frontrunner. they cut on him pretty good. the republican race is far from set. i guess you have to say right now that perry and romney are the frontrunners. but you know, michele bachmann is still in there and the way that race is going, i think, frankly, anything could happen there. >> well, keep it interesting for the next few months. bob in washington this morning. thanks. join bob this sunday on "face the nation" where his guests are former president bill clinton and dick cheney. duane buck was halted with just a few hours to spare. rick perry's support for the death penalty. jan crawford has more from washington. you covered the supreme court for a number of years. give us the overview of this decision. why is it so important and how did it come about? >> any time the justices step in and grant a last-minute reprieve like they did last night. that is a dramatic moment. buck's lawyers are asking the justices to set aside his death sentence because the jury, in his case, was told he was more dangerous to society because he was black. his lawyers say that violated his constitutional rights and they're asking for a new sentencing hearing. there is no question, though, of buck's guilt. he admitted he murdered his girlfriend and another man back in 1995. the only issue here is whether he is going to live or going to die. >> as we mentioned, this is a texas case. the home state of rick perry, now a republican presidential contender. has he spoken out at all on this ruling now from the supreme court? >> we haven't heard from governor perry yet on this. he, obviously, refused to grant buck a new hearing and it came up in last week's republican debate. not this case, but the issue in general that he never strug wld the issue of the death penalty because texas has a thoughtful and clear process in place and in the 11 years he has been governor, perry has presided over 235 executions. obviously, like you said, though, this is getting a lot of attention because he's running for president. but, erica, i just don't see this being an issue in the republican primary. most republicans, most americ s americans, about 70% of americans support the death penalty and there is just no way they're going to have another republican candidate arguing, you know, rick perry is just too tough on those cold blooded killers. i don't see it coming up or hurting him in the primary. it may be an issue if he were to win the primary and go on to the general election. he will have to appeal to a broader base, but not at this point. >> all right, jan, thanks. let's check in with jeff glor at the news desk. he has a check on the other morning headlines. >> goode morning to both of you. rebel forces on the attack of two of the last strongholds for troops loyal to moammar gadhafi. elizabeth palmer is in the libyan capital this morning. liz, good morning. >> good morning, jeff. well, there is fierce fighting going on in both of those. yesterday nato confirmed multiple air strikes in the town of sirte which is gadhafi's hometown and then the resort by the rebels was picking up last night. rushing to the aid of those forces that were already ringing in town. they have been there for two weeks through periods of sporadic fighting and talks to try to negotiate surrender, but this just does look like it may be some kind of final assault. the rebels are meeting enormously fierce resistance and they're using everything from snipers to long-range artillery and no one knows how many civilians are left in those two settlements. the best guess is that there may be tens of thousands of them. jeff? >> liz, thank you very much. a short time ago we spoke with nato secretary-general about nato's ongoing air campaign in libya and we asked him how important it is to capture gadhafi. >> well, he's not part of our operation. we are in libya to protect the civilian population against any attack. i think we are in the very final face of that operation, but, neither gadhafi nor any other individual are targets of our operation. >> he will continue his operations in libya as long as necessary. three crew members from the international space station are safe this morning and back on earth after some scary moments after they return in a russian soyuz capsule. the capsule came down by parachute right on target, but russian's mission control lost communication with the craft prompting serious concerns about whether it was lost during reentry. >> if you can hear us, please, keep talking to us. even if you don't hear us, you should talk. >> the returning spacemen, including one american, are now safe. they're beginning their recovery from six months in weightlessness. a hurricane warning is up this morning for parts of coastal canada. hurricane mu aria is the third hurricane of the season. it is headed for newfoundland. it will pass over newfoundland this afternoon and not affect the u.s. in ocean city, maryland, a funnel cloud, possibly a tornado was spotted yesterday. take a look at this. minor damage to buildings and vehicles. there was record flooding in tucson, arizona. heavy rain chances are you've noticed the price of just about everything is on the rise. and along with it, foreclosures, unemployment, also up. so, now, expectations are down that things will get better any time soon. cbs news rebecca jarvis is here with a look at the latest numbers. hopefully silver lining somewhere. >> it seems like everything that we buy now, prices are on the rise. how much are we actually, how much more are we actually paying for everything? >> you see how vulnerable the consumer is right now. we talk about how important the consumer is because we really drive the american economy and prices that we pay are rising up 0.4%. if you compare this year to last year, the things you pay for grocery and gasoline, up 3.8% and this is a really difficult thing because the price of things that we need, but don't own is rising. where the price of things that we own, for example, our homes, our 401(k)s, that is dropping. ask it feels like to people out there, you know, anything that i need to get my hands on, it's more expensive and anything i have my hands on is decreasing in value. >> you talk about the decrease on things we own. housing is such a key part of this economic crisis we're in right now and the mortgage crisis that we saw, foreclosures are on the rise. >> foreclosures were up massively in the month of august, up 33%. that is a huge number. the reason we care about foreclosures. that was the biggest gain in four years. they are a drag on prices even further. when prices go down, it is generally speaking due to two factors, our psychology and jobs and then foreclosures. foreclosures just drag them down overall. >> front page of the "times" still the problems in europe keep making their way here to this country. i think when people see it, they think, okay, european banks, we're not talking about american banks. but we're all in this together. >> it's such a globalized picture now. green and spain and italy facing in term of their debt problems are our problems, as well. first off, you see it reflected in stocks. the headline risk is out there. when they have a bad headline, we see it impact our stocks. their lending. the european banks lend to american companies. those american companies can turn around and either hire or not hire if they can get their hands on the money. if those european banks fall and there is some concern that they might, they will have less access. our american companies will have less access to loans from those banks and, as a result of that, you could see hiring actually decrease. that was the problem here in the united states in our own credit crisis three years ago when lehman brothers fell yesterday three years ago. >> the last thing you need to see is a decrease in hiring because not a lot of hiring happening right now. >> exactly. >> thank you. >> thanks, guys, have a great weekend. now, to the drama off the coast of norway where a cruise ship is dangerously close to tipping over after a fire killed two crew members. crews are trying to pump water off the ship right now out of the ship to keep it upright. joining us now from norway is an american passenger who had to be evacuated from ship. mary lou, good morning. i know this has been a wild 24-hour period for you. at what point when you first found out that the captain made the announcement over the loud speaker that there was something wrong with the ship, at what point did you know something was seriously wrong? >> we had just gone back to our cabin after breakfast, we were hanging my purse up and our jackets and our lights went out. my husband opened the door and black smoke was rolling down the hallway and, at that moment, the captain said, everyone, leave, now. >> did you panic at all? at that point you know there's a fire onboard. was there a sense of panic, not only with you and your husband, but with the rest of the passengers? >> it was unbelievably calm. it was wonderful. and i think that helped everyone. we were calm on the deck. we were calm as we were helping each other get our life jackets on. and the crew helped us get into the life boats quite rapidly. it was amazing. i took some pictures of people as we were sitting in the life boat and they were just sitting like they were just talking with their friends. >> was it a bit surreal to know that you're on this pleasure cruise, you're on this vacation and all of a sudden the ship is on fire and you're being evacuated on to life boats. >> i think it all happened so quickly that, yes, it was surreal. i'm sure people had lots of mixed emotions, but there was no pan panic shown. it was very good. >> a long way from arkansas. any idea how you'll get back home or when you'll get back home? >> yes. luckily we are with a tour. we're not on our own and, so, that company is going to see to getting us safely back home. >> okay. we wish you the best and thank you for taking a few moments to speak with us, mary lou. it has been a crazy 24 hours for you, but we're glad you're safe and thank you so much and best to your husband, hal, as well. thank you so much. >> good-bye. >> good to see they're doing okay. >> very good to see they're okay this morning. >> very scary, but it sounds everybody stayed calm and they did what they have to do. still ahead this morning, casey anthony's new troubles. police are now sending her a big bill for the lies she told about the disappearance of her daughter. >> how she could actually pay it back. plus, this motorcycle rider caught underneath a car knows how lucky he is. this video, no matter how many times you see it still grabs you. this morning you'll hear from that man as he says thank you to the many people who helped save his life.

how do you decide what numbers she's involved with? the judge was solemn about this because the prosecution was looking for $500,000 for this. the prosecution said, no, that's way too much. she should only be required to pay back that portion that she was convict of telling the lies, not the investigation into the death. the judge came in and said, i'll try to work these numbers out a little bit and came up with something a little bit short of $100,000 saying that's the best estimate he could put in play here for what reflects what she was convicted of. >> what if she can't pay the money? >> that's a good question. we don't have debtor's prison any more. this is considered, you know, part of the sentence. but the statute says you're supposed to set up, basically, a payment plan. they're going to work that out here. if she doesn't have money right away, i'm sure they're going to sa say, fine, we have a judgment against you that can follow you for 20 years down the road. they'll keep an eye on if she does make any money, if anything does come along and if she does, you can assume they'll step in and say, okay, that's good. >> what she could potentially earn. but real quickly, a yes or no, jack. can she earn money from her stowy? >> she can. >> she can be paid for the story. bonnie, how much would this story go for and withed it be tainted? does any network or tbe the com that paid casey anthony? >> millions of people followed this case. they were obsessed with it. for that reason, i believe there women be bidding for her interview. however, i don't think she'll get top dollar. she'll get a couple hundred thousand dollars in some way. they'll work something out and then the question is, can she sell a story about her life and what happened? can she get involved in a book deal? i think she'd have a hard time with a book publishing company offering her $1 million for a book. could she get a percentage if she cooperated with an author that did the book? >> that would be a more likely scenario we'll see. >> is this something like with o.j. simpson back in the day where he basically had to sell-off everything, including his heisman trophy. any type of money that casey gets? >> yes. if she gets a job, let's say she gets a job and she's making whatever a weekly salary is, they are step in and say we'll take a piece of that. the same way you can do for any debtor. >> child support. >> courts will say, you owe us that. the court will work with her to get it back. it could take a long time. >> how soon do do you think, bonnie, we could see this interview and story for casey's story? >> i think it could take up to a year because, again, there's this taint about her. so, i think she needs to be very quiet, she needs to be like the church lady. very sober, she needs to look like she's grieving and she needs to look serious, i think. and then i think it's more possible for her to entertain offers and people to make the offers. >> fascinating stuff. good to have both of you with us. thanks, guys. just ahead, a soldier takes time out in the middle of the war to buy back the family home. incredible story. >> it had been foreclosed on, but he found a way to do it. we'll hear this incredible story. this is "early show" here on cbs. ♪ in here, video games are not confined to screens. ♪ excuse me, hi. my grandfather lived in this village.
