RockvilleMarylandUnited-statesAustraliaAlexandriaAl-iskandariyahEgyptOaklandCaliforniaAfghanistanWashington-schoolDelaware the country is heading in the wrong direction and half say they expect the future to be worse for the next generation. when the public is unhappy, the government often gets the blame and the president's job approval rating has fallen to 47%. those are the numbers, now listen to some of the people. here's anthony mason. ♪ we want a single, just a little single... ♪ >> reporter: at a softball game in crestwood, new york, in the roar of the crowd, you could hear the sound of the country's frustration. >> i believe the country moving in the wrong direction. >> seems like you work harder, you make less money. >> reporter: a new cbs news poll finds americans increasingly dissatisfied with washington and the way congress and the president have responded to the economic crisis. less than half now say president obama shares their priorities, down sharply from last year. and 77% disapprove of the job congress is doing. >> this is it, you know? right here. >> reporter: "honk if you're fed up." >> yes, fed up of everything. an overreaching government, an antibusiness climate. >> reporter: 39-year-old gary murphy runs a maid surface in valhalla, new york. he's become politically active for the first time in his life. >> we're spending more than we can afford right now and we're putting it on the backs of our taxpayers and our children. >> reporter: and americans are losing their trademark optimism. six in ten say the country is headed in the wrong direction. for linda fedrizzi, whose daughter played in the softball game the biggest concern is... >> the future of my children. >> reporter: but half of those polled-- 50%-- now believe the future for the next generation will be worse. just 32% said that last year. and only one in five thinks things will get better. >> i have to say the best times are yet to come. i can't be that negative. it's got to get better. >> reporter: but carol johnson, a software developer in detroit, is tired of all the fighting in congress. >> i think they're just totally dysfunctional and what angers me is they have a job to do, they need to do the job and put their personal opinions and their personal goals aside. >> reporter: and americans hold both parties to blame. the approval ratings for democrats and republicans are at or near record lows. and only 13% of americans say president obama's economic programs have helped them personally. >> i think it's not yet really fulfilled his promise. >> reporter: 40-year-old paula cresti of north hollywood, california, voted for president obama. after losing her job in the film industry in march, she's now trying to start a chocolate business but sees only slow improvement in the economy. >> i don't know that people buying more stuff is necessarily going to translate into more jobs. it isn't, at least, right now i feel. >> reporter: but americans are less worried about losing their jobs. only 28% are very concerned, down from 34% just a month ago. and even with the unease over the economy, american optimism has not entirely eroded. nearly nine out of ten people in our poll say they expect to fulfill most of their hopes and dreams. katie? >> couric: anthony mason. anthony, thank you. from those dreams to the nightmare in the gulf. just 35% of americans approve of the obama administration's handling of the oil pill. b.p. gets even lower marks. tomorrow it will try again to stop the gusher. mark strassmann is in grand isle, louisiana. mark, are people down there optimistic this new approach will actually work? >> reporter: no, katie, they're not. case in point, this shrimp boat which stayed docked all day today. there's a fishing ban on all over this island and most people expect it to stay docked for some time to come. as the a group, those people have little confidence in b.p., they see the top kill as a long shot at best and they see their own crisis deepening. >> they've got to be totally covered with oil. >> reporter: in barataria bay, chris hernandez and floyd lasseign stared at ruin. their family oyster crop, tens of thousands of them poisoned by oil. >> you can see the sheen on the oyster shells as we're picking them up. >> reporter: not just some oysters, all of them. is. >> who's going to east oysters that take like oil? >> reporter: with all this oil in the water, every last one of these oysters is contaminated. no good. this is a 92-acre oyster lease and a half million dollar loss. as a conservative estimate, seven million gallons of oil now flowed float in the gulf. this new underwater video shows the part of the disaster you can't see: fish swimming through globs of oil 20 miles offshore that pourd from this well b.p. hopes to plug tomorrow. the technique's called a top kill. there from a drill ship, engineers will pump a heavy mud mix a mile underwater and hope to clog the gushing well. >> we need to be realistic about the issues around operating in a mile of water. we rate the probability of success of somewhere between 60% and 70%. >> reporter: but b.p. has already made critics angry again. when the top kill begins, the company plans to turn off its realtime underwater cameras. in jackson, mississippi, family and friends remembered the 11 crewmen killed when b.p.'s rig exploded. men like gordon jones, his second son was born a month after his death. back in the oyster beds, the lasseign have no idea what to do next. >> i'm mad as hell because my children have no future now. >> reporter: they have fished these waters for five generations. how do you recover from that? >> you don't. you don't. >> reporter: this is called a live well. it keeps fresh catch alive like this crab. it was caught on saturday, the last day before the fishing ban went into place that has so crippled this area's economy. unless b.p.'s top kill succeeds, this could be one of the last crabs caught in these waters for some time. katie? >> couric: mark strassmann. mark, thank you very much. frustration over the spill has been simmering for weeks, even in the oval office. we learned today that in the first days of this crisis, an angry president obama snapped at a meeting "plug the damn hole." the president will head to the gulf coast on friday, his second visit in about four weeks. the president is likely to get an earful from people there, just as i did when we gathered six local business people in a grand isle restaurant to talk about the disaster and the response. are you frustrated as day after day goes by and this leak still isn't plugd? >> that's the most frustrating part of it is find a way. somebody has to know an answer to that to plug it and as long as it keeps spewing, we here in trouble. we're many more and more trouble everyday. up? who are you angriest at? >> whoever's in charge of not plugging it. (laughter). >> couric: who do you think that is? >> well, b.p. or one of the oil companies that's involved with all the drilling. >> couric: what about the government? some people are getting angry at the federal response? >> well, i guess it's a trickle affect. you're just upset at every one of them that has anything to do with this. >> couric: what about you, lani? how are you feeling now that it's been more than a month. >> there's a numbness that... we're all very angry, i know that. >> couric: how would you like the federal response to this disaster to be different? >> i think the response to the disaster has to be taken out of b.p.'s hands because they're oilmen, they know how to drill for oil, they know how to get the oil out of the ground. they're not in disaster response. they have no experience in that. >> couric: what is your biggest frustration about this effort and the way it's being conductd? >> i feel like there's a lot of leaders and not a lot of followers and, as he said, the buck is being passd from one person to the next. we kept coming up with ideas but it seems like we're not moving forward fast enough. this oil just keeps coming out and gets closer to our beaches. >> couric: what do you think about the way b.p. and the government is handling this? >> number one, the government is totally incapable of handling it because this is at the business and i think they're at the edge of their technical abilities right now. i'm not an expert in subsea drilling but i have nephews and sons that work in that business and they're telling me, you know, this should have been done differently from the beginning. it's b.p.'s responsibility. they call the shots. that's all there is to it. >> couric: do you think the government should be calling the shots more now, though? now that it's turned into an environmental disaster? >> who out of washington can come to the gulf of mexico and tell them how to run a drilling rig? that's the problem. >> couric: so they don't have the technical expertise. >> right. washington doesn't have that capability. >> couric: the deepwater horizon exploded five weeks ago. today it was one of about 3,500 oil and gas platforms in the gulf regulated by the minerals management service, a branch of the interior department. president obama has complained about that agency's cozy relationship with the oil industry. and sharyl attkisson tells us a new report today reveals just how cozy. >> reporter: government inspectors at the dysfunctional mineral managementment service-- m.m.s.-- with often little more than consorts of the industry they regulated according to the. >> reporter: g . inspectors even went so far to let oil companies literally fill out their own inspection reports. they used pencil, m.m.s. inspectors would write on top of the pencil in ink and turn in the completed form. m.m.s. is also supposed to investigate accidents and make recommendations to prevent their recurrence. but we dug through reports involving b.p. or transocean dating back to 2006. in every case but one, m.m.s. made no recommendations at all. >> too cozy a relationship, in many cases criminal activity by getting too close and taking favors from the industry. >> reporter: the cozy ties included workers who moved between industry and government jobs with ease. friends who've often known each other since childhood. m.m.s. staffers accepted gifts from their oil industry friends: trips to the peach bowl, invitations to skeet shooting, crawfish boils, hunting and fishing vacations. one employee inspected a company four times while negotiating a job there. another may have been on crystal meth while he was conducting an inspection. others had inappropriate humor and porn on their government computers. with possibly months to go before the gusher is plugged, there's more wrangling over liability. on capitol hill, outrage was directed at the rig's owner, transocean. it plans to pay out a billion dollars in dividends to shareholders. >> they want to give a billion dollars back to their shareholders at a time when i think there might be very substantial liability questions. >> for a company that said it did nothing wrong, this company has s working pretty hard to insulate itself from being held responsible. >> reporter: assistant attorney general pirelli reminded congress that b.p. has promised to pay all the bills. >> you may be the last person in america who trusts or believe what b.p. says, it doesn't matter. >> reporter: the obama administration has already announced plans to fix m.m.s. the misconduct happened before 2009, but now the inspector general will look at the conduct since 2009. katie? >> couric: sharyl attkisson reporting from capitol hill. thank you, sharyl. now to another hot-button issue, illegal immigration. republican senators had a contentious meeting with the president today. they've been pushing for an amendment that would send 6,000 national guard troops to beef up security along the mexican border. today, in a preemptive strike, the white house said the president is sending 1,200. it was quickly denounced by republicans who said it's not enough. in kingston, jamaica, the hunt for a suspected drug lord turned into a bloodbath. 30 people, mostly civilians, have been killed over the past three days in clashes between security forces and supporters of christopher coke. he's wanted in the united states on drug and weapons charges. and coming up next here on the "cbs evening news," letting high school students cut not just classes but their entire senior year.
