2016 politics and how it affects the electorate. And we want to have from you on what you think causes instability in politics. Candidates themselves . Hot button topics . Or the electorate . 202 7488001, if you are republican. 202 7488000, if you are democratic. , if you are an independent. You can also post on twitter or facebook. A poll taking a look at politics was taken by Allegheny College from pennsylvania. Joining us to talk about the results is the president. Allegheny college. Jim mullen. It goes back to 2010. The debate on issues. Looking at the issue of civility. Theat that time, we created rise for civilianpublic life. We do polling at that time to get a sense of where the american electorate stood. We have updated the polling data and have found this concerning. Emphasisms to be less on stability in american politics. Results saying that 51 of those polled say that interrupting someone you disagree with in a public forum. S a form of instability shouting over someone you disagree with during an 86 in 2010, 60 5 in 2016. What do the decreasing numbers tell you . There has been a numbing effect around the issue of stability in pollen ticks in politics. We live in the area of the 24 hour news cycle. There has been a numbing of the american electorate on what is civility and instability. And im afraid that the most profound impact will be for the young people. We could lose a generation of young host people in politics. When we look at whether this campaign was civil, 20 looking at the campaign of 2012, what do you gather from that . Guest again, i think we are intog our politics devolve an ugly stew. And the implications of that are real. And once again, i worry profoundly. I walk across our campus every youngd see remarkable people who are going out and serving in the community, tens of thousands of hours, but they are not feeling the same passion for politics that my generation might have felt when john kennedy was calling us to go out and enter a noble profession. We decided at the college that we will continue to shine the inht on those who do behave a civil manner and conduct politics in a way that is respectful. Last year we gave the allegheny prize to Vice President biden and senator mccain. Two individuals who could not be more a part on the political spectrum. But to people who forged a friendship across three decades. And its sitting there watch them receive that award reminded me why politics can be a noble profession. And why there can be joy in politics. Joy in american politics and i think that is a concerning thing. Did Allegheny College sponsor this poll to take a look at the topic of stability issues. The resulteople find if people wanted to see the results themselves . Guest they can go to the Allegheny College website. There is a full discussion of the poll results and a discussion on the civility prize. Mullen is the president of Allegheny College and has been joining us. Thank you.

Orlando, florida. We hear from pact on the line from republicans. Good morning. Caller good morning. Thank you for taking my call. Weve always been over each other on periods of time.

About what causes instability in politics. Morning. Host good morning. That Loretta Lynch needs to be pushed in front of a bus. Host marianne in pennsylvania. Go ahead. Caller hello, how are you . Host i am well, thank you. Isler all i have to say that im not voting for an assassinate her or a gigolo. And thats all i have to say. When it comes to instability in politics, what do you think causes it . I dont think Hillary Clinton can handle the truth. And i think she is dishonest. Host glenn from twitter, his thoughts this morning, headstrong votes with the its my way or the highway mentality. Kaine, theom tim Vice President ial running mate. And governor mike pence from indiana on meet the press, asked asked moderator there if the Trump Campaign would accept the results of the election, here is his result. Will absolutely accept the results of the election. The American People will speak in an election that will come late on november 8. The American People are tired. There is obvious bias in the media. That is where the sense of the rigged election goes. Memphis, thefrom topic of instability in politics and what causes it, how are you . Just said sheady wouldnt vote for a gigolo . Who does she think trump is . He is a gigolo. Host 20 do you think causes instability in politics . Lets go to dan. Go ahead. Caller good morning. Is within each Political Party themselves. They are elected to do the role of the constituents. But you cant get everything you want. And that is where the instability comes in. It is either my way or the highway so there is no compromise. And they are unwilling to compromise. And it is bad blood. And i dont know what kind of change it will be to get us there. The people want someone who seems to be above the fray. I dont know why people arent looking at jill stein. Better than the two things we have running right now. Thats all i have to say. Canada, jane. On the independent line. Are you closely following the u. S. Election from canada . Im actually an american residing here. In the unitedgain states is caused by the government. Madeicians and people have Government Central to peoples lives. You can hardly look around a house and not see something that was defined or controlled by government. That, you have made peoples lives very stressful. Host and you think from that stress, the result is what we are seeing in the campaign . Caller sure. The instability arises with the political problems from the fact that the government is now pervasive. Its everywhere you look. The way it was supposed to be from the constitution. Because the government was supposed to be limited. That tookething offense in courts and roads and now it is everything and everywhere. Host in your mind, limiting the size of government could change what we see in a Campaign Cycle . Caller yes. Well, some of this has always gone on. If you look at the cartoons in the early 1800s or 1700s, there was ugly stuff there too. But it was not nearly so dangerous. As it is now. Who ise a woman threatening in private to gut the bill of rights. To destroy the foundation. And that is horrible. Do you follow canadian youtics close enough that get the sense whether that happens in canada . Caller not as much. Are more communal in their approach to things. You do get some wrangling in parliament, but the people themselves are the civil. That was james in canada. And from kansas on the republican line, good morning. Caller good morning. Instability caused by hillary and the media and the newspapers. We have a corrupt government. Here is hillary with obama standing on the white night thaton the benghazi was hit and they lied for two weeks. Two weeks, they lied about a video. How can you have a government like that . Then she lied to the fbi. And to the Congress Judicial department. She lied to the American People. When her law foundr vince foster was dead. I mean, that woman is a born liar. I could never vote for her. And we need to get back to honest government. Get the corruption out of the white house and the judicial fbi, get back the to decent and honest government. I am voting for donald trump. With yourontinue on calls about what is causing instability in politics. If you are on the line, stay there for a few minutes. We takey at this time, a look at issues concerning congressional campaigns with seats up for grabs in the house. 30 seats four seats in the senate and 30 seats in the house. We want to give you an update of what is going on. We start with the Pennsylvania Senate race. A clock tonight is the debate between jim to me and came into. This is from the Associated Press saying that Katie Mcginty has spent her life trying to raise taxes. And if there is anyone who has been fighting against taxes, it is me, that is pat toomey. But he was criticized in recent days over donald trump. The Editorial Board of the largest newspaper endorsed mcginty on sunday, saying that she has a genuine grasp on the human consequences of Government Policies and seeks to improve the quality of life for all. That is from the Associated Press. You can see their debate at 8 00 tonight. The Indiana Senate race between the former senator and his opponent, todd young, talking about the money spent in the race. 30 million. , expecteduck schumer to become leader of the democrats next year transferred half a million to a committee that raises money for the state Democratic Party to help get out the vote. Help their respective state parties raise 1 million. That is in addition to the 2. 8 in and that bayh took see more than 3 million young raised. Former george w. Bush held fundraisers for young last month. The former president bush also help to raise more than 100,000 for other texans from young. Another story looks at the koch brothers. Money theyre spending on this campaign. The related groups have spent about 42 million on advertising. Month, they have abandoned paid media altogether, preserving their money for doortodoor advocacy. They say that to operate as efficiently as possible, the identified the 5 Million Senate voters in each state.

Host on the line for the independents. Doug, what do you think . Caller good morning. I think the problem with negative advertising is that it works. Thei think that sophisticated political folks know that breaking people into groups and using technology to pass partisan messages works and separates. You heard that in the last call lady said she hopes that africanamericans and trump, wete against have been identified as subgroups and their israeli talk. And there individual talk. That was dug in baltimore. On the republican line, dave, hi. Caller yes, sir. Instability in politics is caused by opinions. Not based on facts. And opinions in the school system. And we all know that is controlled by the liberals. Thereisnt a teacher out that will vote republican. Maybe 2 . My daughter is getting her and theright now, things that she told me her professors would say is disgusting. I mean, stupidity. Learnont go to school to the opinion of the professor. Learn the things they need to learn to go forward in their profession. Host you are talking about that on the postgraduate level . Caller no, all the way into kindergarten. Im sorry to be the bearer
