unveil the results of their 22-month investigation this afternoon. politico s congress bureau chief martin kady joins us. good to see you. this is a big deal. they spent almost two years investigating senator ensign. why do you think that senator boxer wants to talk about on the senate floor? i mean, this is really interesting. because usually you think the ethics committee acts in such secrecy. don t even talk about whether they re doing an investigation. now ensign has resigned, because he was afraid of what the ethics committee would come up with, and they re still going to take the findings to the senate floor. we don t know what they re going to say, we don t know how much they have. and boxer hasn t yet given a public explanation about why she is deciding to reveal this on the senate floor. but there was a joint announcement from johnnie isaacson, the top republican member there, so they re going to reveal these findings. we don t know how salacious this is going to be, damagin
yet. gregg: i want to get your reaction to this fox news opinion dynamics poll. you say he s the victim of a bad economy, but 47% of americans say the president has actually made the economy worse. only 36% thinks his policies have made things better, and then by the way another poll showed 57% of americans think the stimulus failed. so, bob, it s his policies, isn t it not the economic conditions? no, i think it s the economic conditions. the fact is you have a stubborn unemployment rate hovering around 10% . that hasn t been able to come down all that much. the stimulus package that helped in certain places didn t help in others. i don t think there is a reasonable economist conservative or liberal that doesn t think that it helped us avoid a much worse recession or a depression. but the problem is that in a bad economy unless things are getting better every day you re

unabashed, unapologetic democratic liberal and carly fiorina casts herself as a very, very strong conservative and she s tapped tea party support. they are both accusing one another of being totally ill suited to deal with the problems of the country when it comes to the jobs and the economy. the folks of california are clearly and re, and miss boxer hasn t even won the endorsement of the san francisco chronicle who says she s ineffective and nothing she s done means she needs another try at this. it s tepid support for the incumbent and antagonism on the right with voters looking for change through a republican. gregg: that s kret i critical, the paper not endorsing her. thanks, carl cameron. jenna: fox news alert we re
