The september job numbers were good for the administration. The Unemployment Rates fell to 5. 9 . Job growth has been on the rise consistently over the months.

Problems but still falls behind the economy, which ranks number one, 17 in the gallup poll said the economy is the number one issue. Is the economy impacting your vote . Thats our question for all of you this morning. From the abc Washington Post poll, they also note this, that views of the president S Performance suffer in kind. A study show 51 disapprove according to this poll, essentially the same all year. His ratings on the economy still the countrys prime concern. Albeit one of many are similarly weak, a tenpoint net negative score for the president on the economy. Lets go to by ron up first. Where you calling from . Caller well, thank you for taking my call. I think these people are just talking to people in washington, d. C. Okay. Caller we dont forget in the country that six years ago the republicans had this economy in the tank. I mean, the Auto Industry was gone. 200,000 jobs was 700,000 every month was being laid off. Weve still got a memory out here. I was reading president obama won the election. I was reading mitt romney doesnt mean anything. They cant understand why they keep losing elections. Democrats got a million 1 2 more votes for the house of representatives last in 2012 than the republicans. Yet theyve got a they got more say so in the house of representatives. We dont forget. The democrats are going to win this election. You all can purve it anyway you want to, let them call people out here in the sticks. Well tell them how the cow ate the cabbage. Its great. Its its steadily increased for the last 60 months, five years. Host okay. Caller every month, every month, more jobs, more jobs, more tax money coming in. Slowly but surely, and thats because thats with the republicans doing everything they can to stop it. To me, thats just like trying to kill the country, just to prove a point. Host what jobs, what industries are improving . Caller everything. From construction, to the oilfield. Were pumping more oil now than we have ever. And they talking about george bush being an oil man, looks to me like president obama is the oil man. Were pumping more oil now than we have ever. Host theres more drilling . Caller yes, yes, we have more drill rigs in the state of louisiana than we have in forever. Host okay. All right. Steve in indianapolis, democratic caller, as well, republicans, we need to hear from you, as well. The lines are open. Steve, go ahead. Caller yeah, the election coming up, everybody seems like theyre wanting to switch over, go back with the republicans. I think that when bush was in office he caused most of this s with the recovery its not been as fast as some people would like but wall street has definitely done better than main street. I think its corporate greed theyre not paying people very well for jobs. And its just more corporate greed, i think, than anything. And theyre just blaming they want to blame it on the democrats. But i think obama has done a pretty good job with the economy. Host okay. All right steve. Washington times reporting this morning that the president s out on the campaign trail, but he is largely in heavily blue states, trying to get democrats out, off the couch, to vote for democratic candidates. Hes staying away from the tough senate races in those states, and this from the washington times. The president largely stuck to the same message that propelled him to the oval office after the dawn of the 2008 financial crisis. Republicans will tank the economy if delivered control. These folks drove the car into the ditch. We all put on our boots and went down into that ditch and it was muddy, nasty and hot and there were bugs. We kept on pushing. We kept on pushing and finally, we got this car up on level ground, pointed in the right direction. Suddenly we get the tap on the shoulder and we look back, and who is . The republicans. They say excuse me, can we have the keys back . And we got to tell them no, you cant have the keys back. You dont know how to drive. Mr. Obamas message ultimately failed democrats in 2010, lost 63 house seats and six senate seats. Is the economy impacting your vote . Thats our question for all of you this morning. Republicans 202 5853881. Democrats 202 5853880, and independents 202 5853882. We want to know also what the economy is like in your state and in your communities. Lets go to chaku a democrat. Go ahead. Caller hello . Host good morning. Youre on the air. Caller yes. Im calling in full support for democrats. First of all i got two things. Host okay. Caller first i am more motivated than ever because of what Mitch Mcconnell said early on whens barack obama took office. He said he would do everything in his power to make this president a failure. Thats disgraceful, shameful, puts the whole country into a clock, like everybody is looking around, people outside the country are looking at us like these guys cant even see what hes going to do and they voting to make him fail. And secondly, i can tell you jesus can come in, thats a lot of republicans, thats when you know how much they hate obama. Jesus will endorse obama today. Tomorrow all of the republicans will switch to another religion. Thats just how passionately they dont like this guy. Blocking him from everywhere. What about doing something thats unpopular just for the country . Thats why im motivated more than ever to go to vote. Host okay. All right. Dav, a republican, in nebraska, good morning to you. Is the economy impacting your vote . Caller my vote has to do with jobs. I work at a place where we are doubling up because we cant find people to work. The people that do hire on realize the benefits will get cut if they get too many hours. Most of the construction jobs are done by hispanics who are willing to go where the jobs are. Im tired of people sitting on their butt wanting free health care, obamacare, medicaid. They get it all. Most of the people my age im in my late 50s are getting disability because they hurt their back, they get free everything. And im telling you, back in the dirty 30s and back when people didnt have jobs from the depression, people went to where the work was. And the only people going to where the work is are the hispanics because theyre willing to work. Thanks. Host all right. So what industry are you in . Caller health care. Host you said workers dont want to work too many hours but they cant find workers . Caller the girls will come and workings work for a couple hours, realize their health care, food stamp oring so is going to get taken so they cut down or quit. Host are they caller nurse aides, nursing, and my son runs a Construction Company and he cant get anybody to work. Host okay. Caller now, people want jobs right, somebody to build a business right outside their door, you know, and thats not going to happen. If you want a job, there are job, im sure. Host so youre calling on the republican line. Caller i am. Host why do you think republicans are better to handle this, get jobs back than democrats . Caller because the government has took over. We give too much away. I got people my age that get insulation on their homes, they get everything taken care of, because theyre taking my Social Security money because they hurt their back ten years ago. I cant believe how many people getting disability in our country and how many people getting hand outs. I think if the tax system was the more you make the more they take, plain and simple without all these entitlement theres girls that make 10,000 a year because of child tax, earned income credit, its ridiculous. Host okay. Caller theres no work incentive and no integrity. Host well go to curtis in georgia, republican. Hi, curtis. Go ahead. Caller hey, how you doing this morning . First of all i would like to comment on the last republican lady that just spoke about the back. I hurt my back in afghanistan, on my second deployment. So she better hope she dont hurt her back, okay . Now, theres people out there sucking the system on that side, she is absolutely right. As far as the economy goes, its in the toilet. Look at wall street. Its were going to have the 20s again, and then all the people in this country, from black, white, green, red, were all going to be standing in bread lines and there aint going to be no more of this fussing and fighting then well get a real president. Host who do you think from either party is best to deal with the amount of money on wall street . Caller my thing is, is i pray that ben carson runs for the Republican Party. It wont happen because the republican the Republican Base and the people who said all this stuff up for the people that run, ben carson will never make it. For africanamericans they need to investigate ben carson. They probably dont even know who he is. But not only is he an africanamerican hes brilliant. Its all about common sense. Thats what we need in this country, common sense. Host what about Elizabeth Warren on the democratic side . Caller a loser. She has been there too long. Term limits. How long we talking about term limits . Get her out of there. Host she is just serving her first term. Caller law . Host she is serving her first term in the senate. Caller but she is no different than the other democrats that have been there like harry reid. That guy could barely walk. Get him out. Host okay. The Washington Post this morning featuring Elizabeth Warren on the front page on the stump speech that she is giving for democrats. She has been invited to many of the key states where you are seeing close senate races, even conservative states, like kentucky to stump for alison grimes, and she is reminding democrats the headline for the Washington Post that rally is a verb. And her message is all about wall street. Don in cincinnati, independent. Caller hello, greta. Im i was a republican for years, but i just couldnt stand it anymore. I think its hard to understand how people plan to vote for the republicans because what i can see from them for the past few years is nothing but basically blocking everything that we may have done to help the economy get better. They havent wanted to spend money on public works, havent wanted to spend money on lots of things that need to be done. We need to grow ourselves you out of this situation instead of cutting back on everything because the country is in bad shape. And i i go back to that old can cliche if you like what has been happening in washington especially with Mitch Mcconnell and the tea party, then vote for the same people all over again. I just i worry about having republican majority because im not they know what they want to do. And by the a, i think Elizabeth Warren is the breath of fresh air. She has brought a lot of things to everybodys attention that nobody was looking at. She is not ready to be president but she is certainly good to have in the senate. Host okay. Don let me ask you, what do you distrust about republicans on the economy . If they were to take control of the senate . Caller i dont think theyre going to concentrate on the things that are important. They seem to be all about real regulations and making government smaller, and i i agree that maybe there are too many regulations in certain areas but we need some supervision, you know, what happened with the banks, because we werent watching what they were doing. Wall street of course doesnt function the way it used to. Its not the main center of formation of capital anymore. Its trading, its gambling, its not contributing to the economy at all. Host okay. Front page of the wall street journal. Arkansas, democrat, lets go on to odessa. Youre on the air. Go ahead. Caller yes, im just disappointed in the political field all around. I will say this. We got a president that came in with some good ideas, and i hate to see someone with good ideas and have all the republicans and part of the democrats working against them just because of the color of their skin. If you cant work to help the situation, then i dare you work to hinder it. We dealt with bipartisian but we dont believe in partisan ship because we dont work with each other for the good of the people. We work against each other. And in this race, right now, all i hear is obama, im going to do this against obama. Im going to do this against obama. Im going to today its all as if obama is running again instead of the parties running with their own platform. If you watch the situation, they all talk about the same problems that obama talked about when he came in. They talk about college. They talk about jobs. And i got news for them about jobs leaving this country. I work for whirlpool corporation, and jobs has been leaving this country since way back in the 80s. So we cant just blame it on obama, we can blame it on every other president that has been in office ahead of him. Host okay. All right. Robert, woodbridge, virginia, an independent. Youre on the air. Caller hi. How you doing, maam . I appreciate you taking my call. My issue is i think both parties are terrible. I think the track record is terrible, especially the republicans, talking about you know abortion and theyve never rowev. Wade has been around. 50 million babies have been aborted, and i cant im a i cannot support a president that says in my opinion its just totally evil. Host so robert that is more important to you than the economy right now then . Caller that is more important to me than anything. I think when you are aborting babies youre destroying life. Host im going to leave it there robert. In other news this morning, front page of the houston chronicle. Listen in and watch, six seconds after launching. And we have lift off of the antares. That main engine is at 108 . Host the image taken of the video provided by nasa showed the ash i tall sciences unmanned rocket blowing up after the launch site just six seconds after lift off. No one was believed to be hurt. The two stage rocket was in its third resupply mission to the space station. Nasa said tuesday was its first night launch. The accident and or by tall Sciences Complex was sure to draw criticism. This is going to the International Space station for reply.

He said he believes the safety staff sent to destruction before it hit the ground. Well be learning more about what happened here with this rocket. Back to campaign 2014, is the economy impacting your vote . Thats our question for all of you this morning. Im going to go to thomas, lexing condition kentucky, a democrat there. You have a Competitive Senate race. Is the economy driving your vote . Caller yeah. Im you know, just speak on tissue, you know what im saying . You going to put somebodys mama out there, you know, and all the foolishness. Host bob in baltimore, maryland, democrat. Hi, bob. Caller im a republican, i think. Host you are . Okay. Caller im glad you brought up Elizabeth Warren, she wrote a book in the 90s, a plan for anybody, you know, a family to be able to, you know, live economically within their means. But she doesnt want to apply those principles to the United States. And as far as her handling wall street, you know, all she wants to do is punish them. And as far as im concerned, you know, i dont know if anybody is punishing me i just want to take my money and run. I dont want to participate. And i think thats whats happening in wall street, theyre keeping all their money where its safe and they know that they can keep it. Host let me ask you, republicans take control of both the house and the senate, what do you want to see them do first on the economy . Caller well, i definitely dont want to see them increase the minimum wage or anything else. I think they need to do something about that and obamacare both. Even though the president will veto that, at least well see, you know, that there is people that are out there interested in making sure that the people are protected. Host okay. Caller because the president sure isnt doing that anymore. Host this is the wall street Journal Editorial Board this morning. The senate referendum. Thats the wall street Journal Editorial Board. The senate referendum. Evansville, indiana, an independent. Go ahead. Caller yes, maam. I appreciate you taking my call this morning, and i have two questions i want to say about the lady that called in about people getting disability and women working, cant get help for anything. I know young women working now, and i have watched their kids and stuff and they make about 800 every two weeks. By the time they pay they rent and groceries and food they cant survive. They have 200 left with gas and everything. Its not everybody being on the system with a bad back or with this. You cant survive out here. You like the last caller just said he dont want to see the raise go up for minimum wage. They need that. They need that raise. They out here struggling. They cant buy food. People are homeless. Its a mess. Republicans is not going to do nothing, get in and continue to make they selfs rich and rich. The Company Needs to hire people with parttime jobs. The real dont see the real. All they see is what they see. Holding on to everything, republicans is not going to do nothing but get in there from Ronald Reagan to george bush and destroy everything. They wont do nothing. People are suffering, real people. Host got your point. Usa today has a story in their front page about low income workers in this count
