Tomorrow night, the race here in iowa is still up for grabs. Take a look at the final iowa poll from the demoin register. Donald trump now leads senator ted cruz by five points with only four candidates in double digits. And check out the movement from the last iowa poll just three weeks ago. Trump and marco rubio are up. Cruz and dr. Ben carson have dropped. On the democratic side, its still tight between Hillary Clinton and senator Bernie Sanders. Just three points separating them inside the polls margin of error. In a few minutes, well talk with the two frontrunners in the gop race, donald trump and ted cruz. But first, we have Fox Team Coverage on the final frantic days of campaigning. Lets start with fox news chief Political Correspondent carl cameron who is tracking the republicans. Carl . Hi, chris. A stunning 45 in that des in the Republican Caucuses tomorrow night. That has donald trump and rest of the republican field able to take nothing for granted. , so jerry, youre my friend for life. Thank you, don. Trum was joined by Jerry Fallwell jr. Last flight to bolster his position with con vervetives and for the first time in months, down play his polling lead to get out his vote. It all doesnt matter if you dont caucus on monday. The polls dont matter. Nothing matters. The only thing that matters is the poll thats going to be taken on monday. Reporter trump continues to question cruzs citizenship. Likewise, cruz runs attack ads against rubio while boasting about his momentum against trump. Where we are right now this race is a dead heat. It is neck and neck. Now it is effectively a twoman race. Reporter under fire, cruz fires back with a double barrel. Vote for amnesty. A vote for donald trump is a vote for obamacare. Reporter 70 million of Television Ads have run in iowa, mainly negative. It doesnt feel like hes feeling too good. Sounds like hes under a lot of pressure and not reacting very well. That is problematic, president s are under pressure every day. Reporter and the pressure is mounting for the caucus tomorrow night. The record turnout is 122,000 people for the Republican Caucuses in iowa. 2012. Mostst projections and models suggest it will be a bigger turn out, perhaps as much as 160,000. But there is snow predicted tomorrow night, chris. Carl, thank you. Now to the tight democratic race. Just a day before the Iowa Caucuses, Hillary Clinton is in full damage control. After the state department revealed they cant release private emails because they ed henry has the latest on the investigation and how its affecting the campaign. Good to see you, chris. Last may Hillary Clinton had a 41point lead in that same bloombergdes Moines Register poll. She is in a dead heat with the democratic senator Bernie Sanders. She has an email problem that wont go away. A looming fbi investigation and the Obama Administration now confirming there were 22 top secret embarrassments on her serveter. On the ground im seeing clinton getting far smaller crowds than sanders and to rally the base in the final hours, shes stressing experience, close ties to president obama while sand serz getting obamasized crowds. 3500 screaming students last night at the university of eye ichlt the eye ichlt the question is will sanders get obamasized turnout from 2008 . Thats what i believe in. What we need is a plan and commitment and me, yes. Thank you. Whether we began the campaign, we were 3 in the national polls. Here in iowa, it is virtually tied we are going to make American History on monday night. Reporter the surest sign yet that clinton hit a rough patch is the fact that her staff is now negotiating with sanders staff on adding up to four more democratic debates. That is a far cry from when she was frontrunner. Ed, thanks for. That were joined now by texas senator ted cruz who has been locked in a fierce battle for weeks to win the Iowa Caucuses. Senator, welcome back to Fox News Sunday. Thank you, chris. Lets start with the new des Moines Register poll three weeks you were beating trump by three points, now youre trailing by five points. How do you explain the eight point swing away from you . Were 36 hours away from the Iowa Caucuses and in a statistical dead heat first place. If you told me ten months ago we were here, he would have been thrilled it with. Right now this is all about turnout. This is all about who shows up tomorrow night at 7 00 p. M. And were focused on if conservatives come out, well win wlachlt were seeing is if the old Reagan Coalition come together. Were seeing conservatives and evangelicals and libertarians and reagan democrats. Faen conservatives come out, were going to win tomorrow. Donald trump is hitting you on several fronts. And heres what he had to say in an interview we did last night. Take a look. Hes got a situation where he didnt disclose Goldman Sachs. He didnt disclose citi bank. Dent dis people he was born in canada. Between all that and the fact you oppose the very popular ethanol mandate in iowa, are you in danger of losing a conservative state that would seem perfectly made for you and even you admitted that if trump were to win iowa and New Hampshire, he might become unstoppable . You know, chris, i have to say, donald looks rattled there. A month ago he was singing my praises everywhere. Now he is frantic. You were singing his praises a month ago. I still am. What he is doing is insulting me every day and attacking me. He owes billions of dollars to a company because we put life savings into the senate. He knows that is flat out false. What do you mean he owes force. If you look at his Financial Disclosure, he owes billions. By the way with, loans when heidi and i take loans, we pay them back. Donald declared bankruptcy four times. And so for him to sit there oeg hundreds of millions or billions or who knows and to criticize heidi and me for putting our entire net worth into the campaign is astonishing. It is not honest. Specially because the loans were disclosed at the time. They were filed on the wrong form. I filed on the senate form rather than the fec form. Heres the important point. Donald is engaging in daily insults. Im not responding in kind. I have not insulted him. You just said he owes half a billion dollars. Thats not insult, thats a fact. Hes attacking me on this loan and he has said, you didnt play and oenld bywned about it banks. He called me a canadian anchor babey. Thats fine. Hes entitled to do that. Theres a reason hes engaging in personal insults. He doesnt want to talk about the issues. He doesnt want to talk about the substance. The same reason he skipped the iowa debate because his record is inconsistent. As you know, we have an interview we did last night. I play that clip of you saying hes trying to hide his record. I want to drill lets take a second on the record then. Lets not just have the insults. Lets look at the record. All im saying is we confront him on that record. Well, for example, on obamacare, donald trump supports expanding obamacare to make it full on socialized medicine like Bernie Sanders. You have hillarycare, obamacare and trumpcare. If donald trump selected president , the federal government is in charge of our health care. Thats his position right now. It is identical to Hillary Clinton. I want to drill down into cruz care. There is a statement you made here it is. We have seen now in six years disaster. It is the biggest job killer in this country, millions of americans have lost their jobs and have been forced into part time work, have lost their Health Insurance, have lost their doctors, have seen their premiums skyrocket. But senator, the Fact Checkers say youre wrong. Since that law went into effect, the Unemployment Rate fell from 9. 9 to 5 , 13 million new jobs were created and 16. 3 Million People who were previously uninsured now have coverage. Dont get me wrong, there are plenty of problems with obamacare. But more people have jobs and Health Insurance than they did before obamacare. Chris, the media Fact Checkers are not fair and impartial. They are liberal, editorial journalists. They made it their mission to defend theres certainly no question that more people have jobs and more people have Health Insurance. Number one, we have the lowest percentage of americans working today dhan any year since 1977. Thats faktct. But there are 13 million jobs created, sir. The fact is that from 2008 to today, weve seen Economic Growth of 1. 2 on average. Chris, dont interrupt me. Ill give an answer thats changing the subject. 13 million new jobs created. And that is an historically slow rate of job creation if you look at what has occurred in any previous year. Obama is the first president ever to have a year of 3 Economic Growth. Millions of people in this country are hurting. One of the problems is youve got the elite, the washington elite, the rich have gotten richerrich er er under obama. But working men and women are hurting. And ill tell you, you know, representing texas, one of the things i do whether i go home and smoest Small Business roundtables. Business owners and say share what is on your heart. Share what youre thinking about and praying about. I have never done a Small Business table where at least half the Small Business owners didnt list obamacare as the single biggest obstacle theyre facing. Millions of americans have lost their jobs and the people have been forced into part time work. Or lost their health care or doctors or seen the premiums skyrocket. Lets talk about your alternative, what you say you would do after you repeal obamacare, how you would replace it. This is what you listed in the debate. Sell Health Insurance across state lines, expand Health Saving accounts, make insurance portable so that can you take it with you if you switch jobs. Conservative thinktanks say those are good ideas. They also say they would have no effect in giving people who are now Uninsured Health coverage. Well, thats simply not the case. So, for example, the biggest barrierer to access is cost. What you want is lower costs. Why dont you have Health Insurance, they say, gosh, i cant afford it. Allowing people to purchase Health Insurance across state lines would create a true 50state national marketplace. That would drive down the cost and expand the availability of low cost catastrophic coverage. But, sir, the Congressional Budget Office on partisan, the National Center for policy analysis certainly not a Left Wing Group have both said that kind of selling insurance across state lines would have minimal effect in expanding access. I cant speak to what they can say. What i can tell you is if you want more people to have choices, you want more choices and lower costs. Insurance. You want fewer choices and higher cost its you dont want them to have insurance. For example, president obama told the American People that under obamacare the average familys premium was drop 2500. In fact, the average familys premiums have risen 3,000. Now, chris if, youre a single feed your kids, 5,500 that, is real money that you cant provide for your family. This law is a disaster. As i travel the country, wrefr i go, i talk to people. We had an vent friday night. Were running out of time. You guys groed ten minutes. I just want to ask you two more questions. Nobody doubts there are problems with obamacare. I just want to explore those issues with you. Happy. To. One thing that struck me in the debate is that the other candidates disagreed with you sharply. But it wasnt about policies. It was more than. That take a look, sir. What is particularly insulting, though, is that he is the king of saying oh, youre for amnesty. Everybody is for amnesty except for ted cruz. This is the lie that he ran on. Hes the most conservative guy and everyone else is a rhino. The truth is, ted, throughout this campaign youve been willing to say or do anything in senator, thats you laugh. But thats not the normal political discourse. That seems personal. Candidate and republican field was attacking donald trump. Today, theyre all attacking me. I think that reflects the race has changed. I understand in that debate partst reason donald skipped that debate, part of the reason he was afraid to stand before the men and women of iowa is he didnt want that scrutiny. Shooting at me. Thats fine. Thats their prerogative. Im not going to respond in kind when, you know, when people engage in those sorts of attacks. I will talk about substance. For example, on the question of amnesty, it is a fact that right now marco rubio advocates amnesty for 12 Million People here illegally. He advocates legalization and citizenship for everyone here illegally. He advocates amnesty for criminal whos are here illegally. It is also a fact that marco has said whether went on Spanish Television that he would not revoke president obamas illegal day in office. He said you cant do that overnight. That will take time f im elected president , i will recind every single one of president obamas illegal executive orders on day one. We got a minute left. Sure. Finally, you and i had a couple of run ins in the debate. One of them was about whether or not you qualified for a 30 second response. Lets revisit it. The question was about its not my question you get to respond to, its his answer. I dont get 30 seconds to respond to me. Your question was you dont get 30 seconds to respond to me. I know you like to argue about the rules, but were going to conduct the debate. A number of observers thought that you threw yourself off there, that arguing about the rules. Do you think that sometimes way . You have 30 seconds to respond, sir. I was surprised you didnt let me respond there. Im happy to respond that r to whatever you like, chris. I understood the rules debate. Im interested in 36 hours from now the men and women of iowa are going to caucus. We have a grassroots army. We have 12,000 volunteers in the state. Let me give you an example of what were seeing on the ground. Friday night we were in wilton, iowa. There are 2800 people that live out. A third of the town came out. Were seeing that every day. And this race is a simple choice. A vote for marco rubio is a vote for amnesty. A vote for donald trump is a vote for obamacare. The reason conservatives are uniting behind our campaign is because i am the only candidate in the race who has been a consistent conservative and a fiscal conservative, a social could be servetive in National Stakes are too high for us to roll the dice and take a risk. Senator cruz, thank you. Thanks for your time. I know youre awfully busy in this final day. Tomorrow night. I look forward it to. Up next, donald trump and his first fox interview since he boycotted our debate thursday night.

We take a look at the famous arches over the des moines river. The candidate who was soaked up the lions share of the attention in this campaign kept at it this week. The question of whether donald trump would or wouldnt attend the fox news debate became a kind of soap opera as we all know he didnt which he admits say big gamble just before the caucuses. But last night we spoke with trump in his first fox debate, first fox interview since the debate. It was down the broad two hours at a Campaign Event in davenport. Mr. Trump, welcome back to Fox News Sunday. I want to start with that new iowa poll three weeks ago. You were trailing ted cruz by three points. Now youre leading by five points. Well, we had a great week and maybe even a great couple of weeks in iowa. Weve been here a lot. I have a fantastic relationship with the people of iowa and the evangelicals and the tea party. We really have done a lot of work in iowa and got to know a lot more people. You know, ive known the folks here for a long time. But we really theres been some very special things happening over the last two weeks, chris. Now, 29 of people in the polls say they disapprove of your decision to skip the debate. What do you want to say to voters in these final hours before the caucuses who may feel that you snubbed them by not showing up at the one debate to be held here in iowa . Well, you know, you love fox and so do i. I get along and have a Great Respect for the voters. But they put out a press release that was very nasty and taunting and it w
