clinton and iowa's presidential race. for the republicans, dr. ben carson is edging closer to the front runner, donald trump here joining us now to break down all a president who conducted the latest island poles, and blumer passes national correspondent phil mattingly p thank you both. let me start with you. talk to us about what the polls tell us. where the surges for the democrats and the republicans coming from? >> on the democratic side, it is hard to talk about it so much as a bernie sanders search. he has doubled his support since may. lost 30% ofton has her support. this the first time i will showing her with less than 40% of the vote. the era of inevitability people used to talk about, i do not think in still say that exists.

on the republican side, you see a slow and steady ben carson who has been in the state since last year, coming up gradually. we also see a definite surge from donald trump. i think he got 4% of the vote. he now leads the field at 23%. betty: what explains that? what is being said about the poll. why is scott walker and marco rubio and jeb bush at all of the scenes we're talking about six month ago, as the likely front runners, what happened and how do they fall behind so quickly? >> every name you just mentioned .lay a role they were thrilled by that fact. you have people with real records and real experience at the state level and the national level. out fromr really stuck surveys and polling. that was, of republican survey,

91% were either deeply atatisfied or "mad as hell" e elected officials. movementanti-incumbent . a lot of times, people are not happy with what is happening in washington. this is deep. if you look at what donald trump represents or you look at what ben carson represents, it is the exact opposite of what the deep bench of public and candidates are bringing to the table. that is resonating. mark: is this so much about donald trump's message resonating, or is it because we in the media keep talking about him and he is dominating the news cycle? part is the latter. it is hard for the rest of the candidate to make much noise that gets noticed. time walker led the last we pulled and that lead was cut in half. he is not going very well. this favorability is still high.

favorability for jeb bush is getting worse. for those people holding their own in terms of people liking them here in iowa, there are people here declining because donald trump and ben carson are heating up the vote for first place. it is an embarrassment of riches on the republican side that ended up putting them in a situation where voters who want that experience have -- no place to call ask, not one candidate to say this is our best twice? >> exposure to the candidates is likely going to change people's about these candidates on the gop side and also the democratic side. was something bernie sanders alluded to when he was on cnn yesterday. let's just play part of the upcoming debate. mr. sanders: i think at a time when somebody people have given up on the political process, when 80% of young people did not

vote in the last election, 63% of all americans did not vote, i think debates are a good thing. betty: who has the most at stake? >> would bernie sanders is referring to is something that has caught steam on the democratic side, the limit to the number of debates. the democratic committee set up sixth of and said they would not do more. mark o'malley has spoken out, at thed the dnc convention last week about the issue. bernie sanders has gotten on board as well. if you are behind, you want that debate. you want opportunities to take shots at the front runner. hillary clinton, her campaign said they would not advocate for anymore. what you are hearing from bernie sanders and martin o'malley another democratic candidates is the republicans will have double-digit debates. we should have that as well.

limited opportunity to really, hillary clinton aside from just being on the ground in iowa or new hampshire or south carolina. mark: we would be remiss if we did not mention vice president biden. is there a biotin factor -- a iden factor? a b >> we include them in the horserace question and he got 14%, which, i have to say, is that her than he has done the two other times he has run in iowa. that is good news for the vice president. his favorability's are very high. they're up there even beyond hillary clinton. there is a storehouse of goodwill. what we know is he is not hurting hillary clinton more than he is hurting bernie sanders in the race. ok,locate his votes and say he draws about evenly from both units. it is a tepid and warm welcome.
