In the battleground state of iowa, our poll shows clinton are tied. The only state in recent polling where clinton does not have an outright lead. What does trump need to do to gain traction. Republican strategist and cbs news contributor frank luntz spoke to former Trump Supporters in pennsylvania. How many people in the room are supporting donald trump right now . Raise your hand. One, two, three, four five, six. The campaign, at least leaned towards donald trump, raise your hand. Almost all of you. So what happened . He was my first choice. But just along the way, i guess, i can say he lost me. I dont, im not saying there is no chance of turning. But he has become outrageous. I mean, we all have thoughts but, i think he speaks without thinking. When he initially began to run, he gave voice to a lot of the frustrations i was feeling about how government is working or more to the point not workin running as a 12yearold. And changes his positions every news cycle. You dont know where he stands on the issues. I was thinking the last couple weeks he might be secondguessing this. He said yet a week age its okay if im not the president. Im wondering is he, is he serious still about it . Whenever somebody makes a derogatory comment to himmen a democratic convention, trump feels like he needs to attack that person. And he says things that are crazy. And i keep asking myself, is this the kind of person i want to handle the Nuclear Codes . Whats the answer . No way. The traction that he got was because of the issues he chose to focus on. I think he didnt realize that it was his issues drawing people. His personality sure. Everyone knows, donald trump, he is flamboyant. The more he made it about his personality, the less likely that i am to vote for him. Seems like everyone else is going in the same direction here. Started out as trump. But moved away. Now, last couple weeks i have seen a pivot back to, the issues, and that gives me a little bit more hope for him. But, he has yoyoed. I need to see a little bit more. How many of you would consider. Still consider voting for him in more than half of you. What does he have to do . He has to get back to, to the issues. And solve the problems. He cant solve it . He is running for president. He cant do anything. Not solve it. He has to give us a plan of what he, some kind of, plan of action of what he would look to do. He has done economic plan. Done a National Security plan. What do you want . I want him to talk more about that. And stop attacking people. And acting erratic. Im looking for the things he says that are scripted. Teleprompter he makes fun of, he unscripted things. Like the debates. See how he reacts under pressure when he has to oneonone with hillary. He is too busy focusing on what he wants to say, and impress people. I think right now we are, i think initially being authentic was great. But now being a little too authentic. Giving us too much of himself. Pull back a little built. Didnt you think you have the right to know who he really is . Yes, you do have the right to know that. But, no one gives you 100 of themselves. Especially at this stage. I want his best foot forward. Its a job interview. This is not how you would behave when you are going to a job interview. By throwing tantrums and calling the interviewer names. Or the other, or the other applicants. How can you have such a negative impression of him and still consider casting your ballot for him . Explain it. Because of the alternative. Because the other candidate is unfavorable in my estimation. And i dont have another choice. And i dont want to give of my vote. Because i think that would be worse t showmanship is over. We want to see policy details. See that you have a staff. You will have a cabinet. Those are important choices. Because, president is not by himself. The president is led by a lot of good advisers. I havent seen any good advisers yet. The party is, doesnt want him . Yes, his own party is not, totally supporting him. Why do you think that is . Because of his outrageousness. I think they find it embarrassing. Do you . At times, yes. Because the it is hard to comprehend. For me, its hard to understand also, like with all of this going on, and all of the negative feedback, why his team isnt reeling him in or explaining to him the damage that he is doing. Finish . Jetdry . For drier, shinier dishes. This pimples gonna last forever. Clearing up skin in as little as 12 hours. And acne wont last forever. Just like your mom wont walk in on you. Forever.

Its no surprise he is a hero to runners. For most he needs no introduction. He is an inspiration to, to everybody. We kind of think of him as the ambassador for the sport. He is a quiet celebrity. Shy in a way. Who this morning is taking his talent and his grace to the world stage in rio. For me it is just another and do what i do best. Reporter this is mebs fourth olympics. He won silver in athens in 2004. But rio is different. Meb who emigrated from eritrea at age 12 is now 41. Making him the oldest American Olympic marathoner in history. Do you feel older .

I am there to compete get the best out of myself. Try to beat people as much as i can. We found him high in the mountains of mammoth lakes, california. He comes up to the thin air before every big race to push his body hard at altitude. How many miles a week are you doing up here . Probably doing 100, 110. Another eight hours of elliptical ride. Jeez. The book on training. It is a 24 hour job. When you are resting. When you are eating. When you are recovering. When you are training. Cross training.

On my fifth lap, so. It is all a long way from his desperate beginnings in the nation of eritrea. War torn village without electricity, or running water, and very lit to eat. I just remember eating dirt. For food. Because, you know, tells you to look for something. Survival instinct i guess. Just dig deep on the ground. And, until you feel little moisture. Then just eat it. Swallow it. Basically thats food. But, you know, whatever you needed to do to survive. Thats my dad. Reporter with the help of the red cross, mebs father managed to get the family to first to italy and then san diego as refugees. October 21, 1987. Remember the date .
