This poll as angry, and certainly have a higher unemployment rate and other issues in the community policing and, quite naturally, concerns about isis because were americans, too. >> right. i think right now, what all these candidates are focusing on are not national polls but the electorates in particular places, iowa, new hampshire, where of course you find far w fewer minority voters and especially so among the republican electorate. theyre trying to find ways to reach out to blue collar whit...

>> great to be back in iowa. >> this is a great stadium. smells like roses. >> i know you iowans tack your responsibility seriously. >> one state thats made progress, thats iowa. >> great to campaign in iowa where every person matters. >> i bet you iowa didnt know they had that much love to give out. joining me for this section of our special, ann seltzer, pollster for "the des moines register" and the person we count on to get the caucus polling correct. good to see you. >> good to see you, too...

Everyone else is showing. ted cruz ahead in iowa. its a tale of two different electorates. the national polling is asking a wide swath of republican voters, most of whom will never vote in a primary because it wont get to them who they prefer. donald trump is bringing in a lot of new voters. in iowa we have a clear history of the evangelical candidate. the one who can get that back and doing well. a majority of iowa republican voters have been evangelical voters in the past. we expect that to co...

Moderate state and higher turn out so it is not just activists and here the more moderate candidates are doing better. trump is still leading but the more moderates are better. so rubio -- if you put the moderate more mainstream vote together they --. the early states with the different electorates are the places to focus your attention. not the national polls. >> interesting. so might some in the republican party hope some of those lesser candidates will drop out so that support will coalesce a...

Hes got it all if he can win that first caucus february 1st. how does one do that? >> its extremely difficult. dan knows these things are not easy. particularly trying to run the table and thinking sweep. i know donald trump probably thinks he can do that in the business world and done it previously in everything else hes faced in life in presidential primary politics its very difficult in iowa. theyre very different electorates. the electorate in iowa is very highly evangelical. the one in new ...

He has dominated the landscape to the point where the other candidates have a hard time getting heard. that is going to change when the voting starts. that is another change coming once we get into the new gear. jon: you use two words to describe his candidacy for the november campaign. you, said almost unelectable. why? >> because the people i rely on, republicans who have run campaigns and republicans who have actually been elected to high office, senate, house and other key positions tell me ...

Policies to get past congress. so he will be prepared, but this is a candidate who does struggle to sort of take this great energy from the sun but translate it into one minute, 90 sec bites. so it will be the biggest challenge yet for ben carson to have the kind of spotlight he hasnt had on him before in tonights debate and you can bet that not just trump but another candidates who realize. right. r50i9. if you add these two together, you are looking at, no matter how they shake out, 50% of the...

Frontrunner is. >> in fact, can we talk about the republicans? because the first time you and i had the chance to speak together, i was filling in for rachel, it was during a trump week, and part of what you said to me is, hey, this happens. especially in a crowded field, you get four weeks, six weeks. talk to me in a few weeks and well see whether or not trump is still trumping. sir, it has been a few weeks and trump is still trumping. what do we say now about whats happening? >> this is amazin...

More income and wealth inequality in america than anywhere else. his last point he was making, talking about more people in jail in the u.s. than anywhere else in the world. so, ryan, is he -- is he connecting with this audience? and even beyond benedict college with these messages? >> yeah, this is a really important speech for sanders. its really important for him to break out of the demographics that he has been doing really well with in iowa and new hampshire. the democratic electorates are ...

Surprised everybody. so its not a guarantee that youll win but its a very good way to start a presidential campaign. >> kathy, when you look overall and added up all of these candidates doing so well with essentially zero washington experience, the ben carsons, donald trumps, the carly fiorinas, its half of the electorates that want no washington or establishment experience. what does that say about the electorate to you? >> well, first of all, i think the republican electorate in general is fed...
