working on the campaign. >> reporter: and they have shown up on someone's enemy's list. >> probably the republicans. >> reporter: this time the republican candidates are set to debate in boulder, colorado, hardly a hotbed of politics with democrats outbidding republicans 2:1. recent polls in iowa and a national poll suggest a position of ben carson passing donald trump. wednesday's debate, your money, your vote, billed that way by c.b.c., gives trump an opportunity to hammer ben carson on business issues. >> i'm a deal maker, i'll make great deals. ben can't do that, he's a doctor, not a deal maker. >> reporter: ben carson, for his part, will debate on his evangelical message, which is successful, but find less relevance in a debate on financial and economical messages. >> i don't change my message from one group to another - i think people sort of that. >> reporter: when it comes to

finances, jed bush is strong, but hobbles into boulder after a bush family wow wow with descending poll numbers and public displays of frustration. >> i have a lot of cool things to do other than sit around being miserable, listen to people demonize me and me compelled to demonize them. that is a joke. >> reporter: marco rubio hopes to seize on some much bush's lost ground, despite having to defend allegations that he has a defend allegations that he has a poor attendance record for voting in the senate. >> being in the senate is more than casting a vote - that's a small part. >> carley fiorina saw fleeting popularity out of the debate. in is in her comfort zone - money and business. it will be about taxes, and john kassig may talk a lot about taxes. making their points on budgets and taxes in the familiar

territory of the earlier debate for those not polling is carlos santana, bobby jindal george pet -- petaki and lindsay graham, all with a big mountain to climb in the debate the latest university poll shows democratic presidential front runner hillary clinton leading bernie sanders by 41 could do it 65% would support clinton, 24 sanders could do it 68" of bernie sanders's supporters i think hillary clinton would be the second choice could do it 88% had a favourable impression of clinton much 77% had a favourable impression of sanders. joining us from atlanta, a political science professor, and an al jazeera political contributor could do it do you think this is the beginning of what many expected in the g.o.p.

race, that we'll see in 2012 various republicans rotating as front-runner. >> i think it's less that, and more about the fact that we see the restlessness before the holiday could do it iowa voters, caucus voters are fickle could do it flirting with one group of candidates, they go to another in the fall could do it that's how you see someone like ben car son move to the head of the field in iowa, even though his campaign has been suspended so he can sell books could do it i think it's volatility for now. >> what does it mean for trump could do it while carson is ahead could do it most recent state polls show trump is ahead in new hampshire and other states could do it too early to write ano-bitou airy. >> no, trump will be in this could do it in 2012, you had three candidates win the first three states could do it it is

possible that we could have a situation where donald trump wins iowa, and jed bush wins in new hampshire could do it when you have a field of 17 people half of whom may drop out of the race. i don't think anybody can write-off donald trump could do it he has more money, organization and is better than anything ben carson did. >> one difference in 2012, back then there was establishment candidate mitt romney whom everywhere predicted or expected would be the nominee could do it he seemed to be near the top of the polling could do it that is not what is happening because jed bush was mired and was fit for labelling. >> jed bush is in trouble could do it any time that you are slashing the salaries of everyone in the campaign, shutting down offices and having people work or volunteer, it shoes the campaign is in trouble

could do it i don't think that jed bush is out of the race, he has super pact money, an organization on the ground and what everyone has to remember - you have to look at who is in fourth and sixth place. they are the candidates that cake a leap could do it not the front runner. >> achecked a handful of odds mak maker: is there a sense that bush could be the non-outsider. >> it will end up being mark rooubia could do it the safe one that all the republicans can write opinions and believes on could do it he's young, latino, cuban american could do it things that the republican party thinks will allow them to beat the jugger thought that is

clinton could do it whether or not rubio gets better, whether he can race the money, we don't note could do it he's the least offensive. >> we have trouble raising money could do it on the democratic side, a final question, the last scoum couple of times we talked the focus was on hillary clinton's polling numbers. she has turned that around. >> now that biden has gone could do it lincoln, chafe yes and web, all she has to do is march through could do it doing what she did with benghazi strengthened her position. the senate has passed a controversial internet security bill could do it cyber security sharing act was approved by a 74-24 vote. the bill allowing companies to share information about online threats with each other and the government could do it it has broad support within the community could do it critics say it trades privacy for security. >> sharing information without

robust privacy standards creates as many problems as it may solve. >> the same cyber intrusions are used again and again to penetrate different targets. >> if someone sees a virus are something similar they should tell others could do it the president is expected to sign the final bill into law a landfill fire burning near st. louis for five years is bad enough could do it locals are worried it's spreading close to a nuclear waste dump could do it that is next could do it and why a major retailer says its doors will remain closed on black friday.

for the last five years, a fire has been burning underground in a landfill outside st. louis could do it officials say they are working on a plan to keep the fire from reaching on adjacent landfill where nuclear waste is buried could do it the fire is just 5 miles from st. louis could do it diane eastabrook has more on the potential dangers. >> reporter: an international meeting with officials quickly turned into a public inquisition. >> yes won't know who to trust or believe, or anything could do it you want to tell me it's an
