Name, hes helping him become that nominee. >> nia, you see this des moines register bloomberg poll, statistical dead heat with cruz losing ground in the past month. cruz had been gaining ground. do you think it is because of these attacks by trump on the eligibility issue? >> you know, trump has figured a way to diminish opponents starting with jeb bush and now on ted cruz so it does look like this is gaining some traction. cruz has other problems in iowa, as well, coming out against ethanol sub...

Questions still remain and just how contentious the hearing was. well have much more on this hearing throughout the morning. coming up in our 7:00 hour, well hear from the republican congressman who did have that defining moment, jim jordan. he repeatedly sparred with clinton. in our 8:00 hour, well speak with rand paul and well have democratic congressman louie gutierrez on. they have strong opinions about what they heard yesterday. big breaking news in the republican presidential race. ben c...

State department and the intelligence communities were concerned enough that there was a breach of national security to recommend that the fbi open a criminal investigation into it. they are obviously concerned the way that this e-mail was handled. thats not something a reporter should just ignore, is it? >> i dont think a reporter should ignore it, but i think they should put doubt fawn the . the facts are that hillary clinton had very little to do with what the fbis investigating. its been pre...

Thats not something a reporter should just ignore, is it? >> i dont think a reporter should ignore it, but i think they should put down the facts. the facts are that hillary clinton had very little to do with what the fbis investigating. its been pretty clear that hillary clintons not been accused of that, other than partisans and reporters who are too lazy to get their facts straight. >> john chait, theres another factor, which is bernie sanders. theres a bloomberg poll, that, if you look at su...

Anything other than futerristic sci-fi hollywood movie with chips implanted. lets get to the numbers here. top, no change there. donald trump still leading in the poll. it is ben carson, a former neurosurgeon who is in strong second place. what do you make of that? >> i think, again, alex, when you look in the poll, which is a terrific poll done by ann seltzer who has a tremendous reputation in iowa, the other questions of the poll helped explain trump and carson for the republicans. for example...

Welcome back to "weekends with alex witt." to politics now, the new polls out of iowa with slipping numbers for hillary clinton. a poll of likely democratic caucusgoers has bernie sanders within seven points of the front-runner. clintons support has fallen 20 points since may, putting her below 50% for the first time in a bloomberg-des moines register poll. the wild card in all of this still remains to be vice president joe biden. joining me now, former new mexico governor, u.n. ambassador to pr...

2012 election, the main policy proposal that that report made was that the republican support comprehensive immigration reform and that republicans be more welcoming in the rhetoric they used to talk about hispanic immigrants. donald trump has forced basically all the republican presidential candidates to do the opposite. even though nationally he polls among the republican primary voters, his disapproval ratings among spanish voters is sky-high. >> interesting with the polling in terms much the...

On this approach? >> i think the biggest takeaway right now, given the new bloomberg poll, is underqualification is now qualification. ben carson is in second place. hes the most competitive with trump by far in iowa. he also has the same level of experience in electoral politics, which is to say zero. if you have experience making policy, and running executive branches, or getting elected, its kind of a problem at this point in the race. i think that also helps sanders. sanders has been able to...

What happened was i did it in a very visible way during a super bowl that president clinton came to see me. i shouldnt have done it so visibly, the endorsement of obama. i should have been more careful. i dont regret it, because i think hes been a very good president. >> it sounds like more the way you did it than what you did. >> thats right. >> it is what it is. all right. lets go to the poll this week which asked the voters for the first word that came to mind. liar, dishonest, untruthworthy,...

Effectively moderates are going equally for trump as they are for bush. >> it is absolutely remarkable f. you look at the new bloomberg poll, not only does trump have a huge lead, but a tremendously powerful appeal to every segment of the republican party. i agree with john. i think the reason is trump has become a vessel from the maximal expression of rage and outrage at not only republican leaders and president obama, but pretty much the whole political institution, the whole political world i...
