According to a new poll by cnn and orc international. The survey also shows 53 of americans believe that mr. Obama is not honest and trustworthy.

Kpix5 is live in San Francisco teen chinatown where president obama gives a speech on the issue. Reporter youre right, michelle. The president is expected to make remarks on Immigration Reform and pick up Democratic Campaign cash while in the bay area but some of his supporters say they arent too excited to dig deep in their pockets. A steady stream of supporters line up 24 hours early for a chance to hear president obama speak. The president s bay area public appearance is at the Betty Ong Recreation Center in chinatown today. The president will use this neighborhood of immigrants as a back drop for his renewed push on Immigration Reform. Josh wolf says the chinatown location is perfect. Our country is really built on immigrants and everyones story is an immigrant story. Its a quick visit but some political pundants saying sending one clear message. The two term president is losing political capital. Take the price to wine and dine with the president at the jazz enter. As we get closer to the event organizers slashed the ticket price from 1000 to just 500. Hes been here nine times, people are tired of writing those checks to obama even in the democratic bay. Scott kraner will not be watching the president s speech. Hes not impressed the president s choosing to talk immigration while obamacare in many states still finds itself on life support. This is one of the problems i have with politics. Its kind of a bait and switch a lot of the times. Like oh, this is going bad so lets look here at this other thing that may be a problem. Again the president will be here for a very quick trip. Hes expected to just be in the bay area for about five hours before he heads to his next event in los angeles.

A woman jumped at the colosseum and another fan tried to break her fall, this morning both are injured and in the hospital happened after yesterdays raider titan game and kpix 5 joins us live from the colosseum with the very latest. Good morning, kent. Reporter good morning, frank. Deputies say without a doubt 100 the Good Samaritan saved this waps life and if he did not do that she would very likely be dead this morning. The incident happened after the game when the woman climbed off into a closed off section of 301. That was blocked off and covered in tarps. The Good Samaritan plead with the woman over and over again saying dont do it. The standoff was brief, she jumped and fell 45 feet and the Good Samaritan actually tried to catch her and broke her fall. That woman was knocked unconscious and she was in very critical condition. He was still alert and talking with paramedics and is in stable condition and is expected to survive. The man is a 61 year old marine corps reserveisns and life long raiders fan. State authorities are trying to figure out how the woman got into the closed off section. The individual had to go through an area that wasnt open to the public and were investigating how they actually ended up in that section because it wasnt a public accessible area for the game. And the stadium says the woman jumped and was not pushed and they say employees followed protocol and the a yeah was blocked off correctly. Well, raider fans some types get a bad rap but theres plenty of good to say about this guy i guess, right . Yeah, authorities did not hesitate to use the word hero and they say hes a very compassionate person and he really cared about the situation really trying to help out. Lucky for that woman.

Severe weather crippling oklahoma and texas and as marlee hall reports at least eight people are now dead. Reporter this suv spun out of control and into a ditch in Oklahoma City sunday, slick, icy roads are making driving conditions dangerous across the southwest. The winterlike storm system dumped about a foot of snow in parts of oklahoma. In new mexico, people out braving the weather had a hard time driving and walking on snowy roadways. They are pretty icy and even though ive got traction on my shoes, sometimes it just doesnt help, maybe, [laughter] parts of the state saw near white out conditions slowing down traffic on major roadways. Residents in midland, texas arent used to the wintry weather weve never seen weather like this. This isnt normal here. More than 300 flights were cancelled sunday at the Dallas Fort Worth airport.

Lots of snow into oklahoma, parts of texas and kind of a wintry mix in between with freezing rain, you can see some of that continuing to work slowly eastward. Its going to be a messy day with more rain making its way in through houston and dallas and you can see to the north there, youve got freezing rain and sleet and its just going to be a mess. This whole system will be sliding toward the eastern seaboard, but on the busiest travel day of the year, i think it could turn into a noreaster and that could make a very big mesa long the east coast. Today, no delays expected at sfo, if traveling around the country chicago looking okay, about 32 and freezing, maybe light snow into denver at 41 and houston more rain there, new york dry so far but again they could see that storm headed in their direction, were expecting rain moving in for very busy travel day on wednesday.
