>> a fox news alert from the campaign trail. vice-president biden and his wife jill, scheduled to attend a campaign event in provincetown, massachusetts. he was planning a campaign swing through florida. but he postponed the trip to ensure local law enforcement and emergency management can stay focused on tropical storm isaac. the appearance is for reporters only. we'll bring you any news the vice-president might make. tweet us your questions for our panel of pollsters later this hour. >> we start off the second our here, a special sunday edition of "happening now." i'm jenna lee. that's john scott.

the national hurricane center just issuing an updated track for tropical storm isaac, as that storm headses for the keys. >> we say it's heading there, but the outer bands are already hitting miami and miami beach. welcome to a new hour. isaac is gaining strength. forecasters expect it will be near hurricane strength when it makes landfall on the keys. the storm lashed eastern cuba yesterday, causing severe flooding, downing trees and powerlines, at least four people are dead in haiti. at least three more missing in the dominican republic. isaac expected to make landfall in the keys later today. 6,000 people have lost power in south florida. we will get a live report from key west later at this hour. but first, the latest from the fox extreme weather center. >> you saw the latest track there and the new advisory is

just out. 65-mile-per-hour sustained winds. that's the same am but we do see some strengthening on the satellite imagery, the colder cloudtops. but this is the radar. the center of the storm is right there. you can see the courto counter clockwise winds and a tornado watch until 5:00 p.m. but you will see tornado watches throughout at this time day and into the overnight and all up and down the florida peninsula because we have the risk for tornadoes on top of storm surge and heavy rain and tropical storm-force winds. this is the latest advisory. it has shifted more to the west, which is what we have been afraid of. so let's take a look at it together. south florida there. it is just off south florida, but the key, you could take a direct from a category 1 hurricane. a we head out, there's tuesday. as we mentioned; it has hist shifted more to the west. there is new orleans.

and the center of the storm coming right of new orleans. but i don't want to you focus on the center of the storm because anywhere within this cone is where we could see a landfall. they are saying category 2 upon landfall, but there is a chance we could see a stronger hurricane. that's what the national hurricane center is warning folks about this. this is a preliminary advisory. we could potentially see a stronger, major storm. just want to show you one of our tropical storm models that puts out the precipitation estimates, as we head further out in time. isolated amounts of 10 inches plus across south florida and take a look. this is one of the latest model guidances with the potential for 10 inch, possibly 12 inches along the coast of louisiana. again, if we have a tropical system, a hurricane making its way towards new orleans, this is very vulnerable. the storm surge and lake

pontchartrain in this region. i am not saying a hurricane is going to go over the new orleans area, but it is possible. there is another one of our tropical storm models as we go further out in time this. one looks more like a landfall across the panhandle of florida. again, a lot of variables to work with. we have hurricane warnings for south florida and the keys and we have hurricane watches up in anticipation of this storm coming northward across the northern gulf coast states, including the new orleans area. so vulnerable to hurricane storm surge and flooding and of course, we remember katrina. but i want to stress, guys, anything is possible. a couple of days out. but the models are trending toward the northern gulf coast and the new orleans region. >> 10 inches of rain is going to be a problem to deal with wherever it hits. >> absolutely. northern gulf coast, please, please, make your prep rages now. >> we will pay attention.

janice dean, thank you. >> it's hurricane season. the storms do happen. but this fact, isaac is taking a very similar track to hurricane andrew, a devastating category 5 storm that hit south florida 20 years ago, almost to the day, august 24, 1992. this storm could be the most powerful to hit the united states since hurricane katrina in 2005 t. could happen. it could not. but we are definitely reporting it to you at this time, according to the models that we are seeing this, storm could make landfall on the gulf coast exactly 7 years to the day of hurricane katrina. new orleans is still recovering, in some ways from that storm, the worst natural disastener u.s. history. more than 1800 people died, more than 575,000 people lost their homes, when the levees flooded the city.

we will keep you up to date as we get more information. >> right now, supporters of congressman ron paul are holding a rally, even though he dropped out of the race for president. republicans are adjusting their plans as tampa prepares for tropical storm isaac. both campaigns are moving full steam ahead as they get ready for the national election race. john roberts, live at the connection center in tamp anow. >> reporter: good morning. both candidates are off the campaign trail. but the message machines continue to crank it out. the romney campaign insisting that romney/ryan is the ticket for the future. president obama charging that romney/ryan have extremist views that will be bad for the country. the governor joined chris wallace earlier today and chris asked him what he thought was attacks from the obama campaign. >> well, when the president accuses me of being a felon, or when his staff does and doesn't distant from that and they scr a

pac that say i am responsible for someone's death and he won't distance himself from that, i would suggest that's a campaign from anger and divisiveness and his campaign is about dividing the american people. >> reporter: the attacks continue. the obama campaign with a new ad, taking aim at thursday night, romney's big night when he takes the nomination for the republican party. >> on august 30, mitt romney stars in, the do-over. critics have called his previous work, wildly misleading, four pinocchios, pants on fire. >> reporter: so much for the tradition of staying dark, but the attacks are come from this other side. mitt romney out with a new ad, that contrast what is president obama said as a candidate about john mccain's plans to cut medicare, with where the president is today. >> as president, barack obama cut $700 billion from medicare

to pay for obamacare. what would candidate say about president obama's medicare cuts? >> it ain't right. >> no, mr. president, it ain't right. >> reporter: the romney campaign believes it can win on the issue of medicare, pointing to a house race, where a candidate came from behind by hammering on this idea that the obamacare plan would cut more than $700 billion from medicare, it was a winning issue then. they think it could be a winning issue now. >> lots of battles yet to come. thank you. >> john showed us fox news sunday. we are getting the sound from the sunday talk shows. it's all about the election, as is expected at this time. steve centanni has a wrapup for us. >> reporter: hi. specific the focus on messaging. mitt romney has his work cut out for him in the upcoming convention ntrying to win the support of two very important voting blocks -- women and

hispanics. the presumed nominee made a pitch to women entrepreneurs yesterday in ohio, trying to overcome a gender gap. obama's support among women is 8% higher and with hispanic, it is 35% more support president obama than mitt romney. senator john mccain says the key to overcoming these obstacles is to focus on the economy and jobs. >> we have to point out that the unemployment rate of young women is 16% and among pis hispanics, it is very high. jobs in the economy are more important, perhaps, than maybe other issues. we are a big tent party. we have to give that message and we have to repeat that message over and over again. >> president obama enjoys stronger support among women and solidified his latino support, narcoticking that modified dream act, giving young imgrans a chant to avoid deportation. the president and his supporters

have advocated a more comprehensive approach to immigration reform. >> we are hurting our future if we don't recognize that there should be a comprehensive immigration reform approach to dealing with them, instead of allowing -- instead of mitt romney's approach, which says, let's have those 12 million deported. it's an unrealistic and extreme position. >> aside from appealing to the two key voter blocks, mitt romney has a more general problem of getting people to know him and like him. president obama has a higher likeability than romney. >> how big of a deal is likeability? we have a great pam in 40 minutes to answer our viewers' questions. >> speaking of likeability, mitt romney is getting tough in getting out his message, taking a harder line to appeal to some core voters. we will look at the revised strategy.

we're taking your questions on the campaign. tweet us about what you want to know at "happening now." remembering a true american hero. the amazing career of neil armstrong. we'll take a look back at the life of the first person to set foot on the moon.

>> right now, organizers of the republican national convention are working on what you might call plan "b," reshuffling the schedule as tropical storm isaac moves towards south florida. the rflrksc has been forced to cancel monday's opening night events. but that is not causing too much concern. >> it's wednesday and thursday night that are the big moments. now people have channel changers, so it's not that there is -- that we don't want those -- that first night, but i don't think it will be damaging

if we lose the first night. but it could be harmful if we lose more than that. >> bill kristol is editor of the weekly standard and a fox news contributor. how much is the storm and the reshuffling, whatever they will have to do -- how much is it going to affect the message? >> i don't think it should affect the message. but first night was going to be a bit of a bash obama night. mike huckabee got upset when i said that, he was going to smeek on monday night and said he was going to be a contrast, more than a basher. but that's gone and i think that's a good thing. the biggest mistake the romney campaign can make -- they get annoyed at the obama campaign saying not very nice and often untrue things and they want to hit back. but the country knows all about president obama and his record and his failures -- i think -- they are open to replacing president obama. they need to hear the positive

came -- case. the core will be wednesday night and thursday night with the romney and the ryan speeches. >> you hear the conventional wisdom is that negative advertising works. you are saying that the convention should be positive? >> i am saying that. i think at this point, another $100 million, pointing thiewt unemployment is higher than president obama said it was going to be or that the stimulus didn't work and obamacare is bad, i believe that. but the public understands that. their question is does governor romney have a plan or is he out of touch and he would he be back to the bad old days, allegedly of bush, maybe we should keep the guy we have. they won't change anybody's mind about president obama. they can change people's mind and give them new information about mitt romney and paul ryan. especially mitt romney. he is not george h.w. bush,

someone who has been around the national scene for decades. if you didn't live in a primary state, have you probably never seen romney give a speech. so thursday night, that speech is very important. it has to be about what a romney administration dolled and the next four years, much more than the last four years. >> if you are right about that, people not knowing mitt romney that well, the polls essential vethese two guys tied. does that suggest that there is more of an upside for romney, if people get to know him and know more about him? >> yes. the way tong about it, both conventions are about romney. obama won't persuade anyone that the facts are want what they and are the inn employment is better than it seems to be. obama is going to try to tear down mitt romney. mitt romney and his campaign and the republican convention have a chance before barack obama to really make the case in a fuller and more competencive and clearer way for mitt romney as a

person, but especially, i would say, for the romney/ryan administration. the romney campaign has an ad attacking president obama and take money out of medicare. if i were running the romney campaign -- which i'm not -- i would have been out with mitt romney and positive ads about his record and what he wants to do for the country. that's the thing they haven't said effect i have gone enough, the romney campaign. >> we can see the flags starting to snap. we will call on you for a weather report later. >> let's keep our fingers crossed. >> live in tamp aflorida. thanks. >> a little south of where bill is standing, a huge, dangerous storm is smacking into florida. but it is not the only state in harm's way. folks are preparing for the worst. new evidence expected to show tehran is accelerating its nuclear program, depiet the

sanction, despite the meetings, despite the warnings. what's next? a closer look, ahead.

>> check out this live peculiar from south florida. we believe this is key largo at the northern end of the key, chachape of islands that dangles off the tip of florida. it's hard to keep up with the live pictures. but you can see the tropical storm-force winds are nothing to mess around with. key largo taking quite a beating with tropical storm isaac as it churns in between florida and the island of cuba. >> right now, chilling details in the nuclear standoff with iran. in the leadup to election day here in the united states, we're expecting the nuclear watchdog

agency to lay out a stark reality. here's how the new york times put it. quote, despite increasingly painful sanctions and the covert program that slowed the cyber-attacks, iran has made substantial progress in producing enriched uranium in recent years from one bomb's worth when president obama took office, to the equivalent of five bombs worth today. that is from the new york times. what does that mean for security at home and our next step sf? we have the former senior director of international affairs at the security council and a director at the the washington institute for near east policy. what does that mean? >> it means that despite everything we have done on sanctions, nuclear talks, that iran continues to creep closer and closer to having the nuclear weapons capability that we have been trying to stop it from

having. i think as we look that the report, we are looking for 3 things, number 1, how many cent rifiewjs are operating. and are they getting close tort bomb-grade uranium that they need? so far what we have seen, as the talks go into these lulls, the dead periods, iran uses that to rush forward. >> a report that we expect to see in the next couple of day it's one report says that the country has added up upward of 1,000 new machines near a military base and that is a base, michael, you probably know better than us, please, share with us, an area that is invulnerable to military attack. is that right? >> jenna, i don't know that it's invulnerable, but it is deep underground. there is a concern that that would be much harder to get out

than other facilities and that's driving theus-israel tension over what is the right time and the criteria for that attack. >> and the time table for that. you know that, as we do. this term october surprise, something happening before the election, where the president has to act. you know, the chances of that actually happening, in your opinion? >> i think the chances are indeed going up. we will see what this report says and if it reveals big new advances by iran, as the israeli prime minister has suggested and i think that does increase the fear of an attack. part what have is driving this, while the u.s. and israel are committed to stopping iran from getting a nuclear weapon, have dig big differences when it comes to what are we willing to tolerate, as well as what is the right timing for an attack. israel because it has limited military capacity, it isn't going to depend on anyone, including the united states to safeguard its security, thinks

an attack has to happen sooner. >> one analyst told me, have you to watch israel when they are quiet. you don't have to watch them when they are talking. is that true? michael, in your opinion, with all of this out there? i don't want to call it bluster. i think that's editorializing. this is obviously a very serious issue. is there some truth in that? >> i think it's hard to generalize. this is something where, we have all been conditioned in a sense to expect an attack, that this is a possibility that, it may happen. so it's easy to say, this is bluster, this is more of the same. i think there is certainly an element of israeli prime minister netanyahu to try to get the international community to do more. he keeps saying, "more needs to be done." but this is the natural dibait in israel, a democracy over, is this the right time to attack? he is trying to win the political discussion at home, so

i don't think we can draw any generallationizations from this. >> we will be hearing from both parties. foreign policy's a big issue. what should we be asking of our leaders, whoever they are, in the next term? >> i think hathis comes down to between the republicans and the democrats in many ways is what are we willing to accept from iran? one thing that doesn't get much notice here, u.s. red lines on iran have inexoribly shifted. we used to say iran can't enrich uranium. now we are saying they can enrich some, but not much. we have to be careful about shifting the red liance underneath the radar. we have to ask: what can we really live with in terms of iran with nuclear capacity. >> thank you for joiningous this special edition on a sunday. we have you hard at work. we appreciate. >> it thank, gen amount of the florida keys are bracing for what looks like a direct hit

from isaac. now the western gulf coast is in harm's way. and new orleans -- take a look at that. a live report and the latest on this storm's track, the gulf coast has to watch out. also, still time to get your tweets on to -- tweets in to our panel of pollsters who will take your questions on all things politics. tweet us with what you want to know.

>> the latest track for tropical storm isaac released at the top of the hour, it shows the storm shifting farther west, giving it more time to gain strength in the warm waters of the gulf of mexico. it is expected to pass directly over the florida keys along the way. the islands expected to be hit hard with heavy rain and serious flooding. phil keating is streaming live in key west. how is it there, is it getting worse? >> reporter: it is getting worse. it was surprisingly nice this morning and miami dade was getting the worst of it then. but here in key west, the center of the storm is expected to hit later this afternoon or this evening. it is marching 18 miles per

hour. here in the marine athe boats are roped up together so none of them will break away by themselves, better to keep them in place. and the winds are definitely picking up, getting? palm tree fronds, bending and swaying in the wind. there was a recommended evacuation, suggestion by the county to all nonresidents yesterday. and we drove down here from miami on u.s. 1, the only way in or out because key west airport is closed. incidentally, 500 flights in and out of miami and fort lauderdale were cancelled today. but the evacuation line, steady stream of traffic, heading north, out of the keys, yesterday afternoon. so a lot of people did take the advice, key west itself, typically crowded on saturday. it was really minimal crowd last night. but the tropical storm is 65-mile-per-hour winds. if it gets up to 74 miles per hour, it's a cat-1 hurricane.

so it will be a can the 1 or very strong tropical storm when it makes impact in the keys. a lot of buildings and houses in the area, plywood off on the doors and windows and you can see the key west humor down there, it says get twisted. certainly there are a lot of hurricane parties going on, with those people who did stay down here. but monroe county emergency management director advising for the rest of the day, if you did not leave the islands yesterday, stay put. don't get on the road. it's going to be too dangerous. not only is there a hurricane warning for the keys, but a tornado watch for miami dade county. >> all right. phil kateing in key west, where that is expected to hit. phil, take care, thanks. >> recent polling shows the race for the president is getting

tighter, including polls from the new york times, washington post, abc news, apgfk, rasmussen -- got all of those? all of them are showing a closer race. public notice shows the president ahead, but the same poll shows that voters are concerned about taming the national debt. and more of those polls think governor romney has a plan to lower the debt, compare to the president. the latest polling average shows president obama with a slight advantage, ahead just over 1 point. joining us are folks who can tell us about the numbers and what they mean. bernard whitman, 52 reasons to vote for obottom a. and we have a former adviser to the house republican conference, and independent pollster, scott rasmussen is with us. nice to have you with us.

>> great to be with you. >> we have a lot of great viewer questions because we do talk about the polling numbers and the questions of why are they that way is what the viewers want to know. a great question, david, from one of our viewers, scott jones. he wants to know: is 2012 shaping up to be another reagan 1980? where reagan was in the polls, compared to carter. do you see a similar pattern in this election? >> i think there is an opportunity for that. when you take a looka this has been an even race, you are looking at a sitting president, the economy's gone atrociously for. the challenge to governor romney is to provide that alternative. i think the selection of ryan clearly indicates that he knows to make that alternative and make that -- lay that out. that's the challenge. if he can do that, which is reagan did, there is the possibility of that outcome. >> bernard, what do you think about the comparison, when it comes to the number, want

necessarily the policy? what do you think, is it similar to reagan? >> i think it is a lot more similar to the 2004 election of george bush and john kerry n. mitt romney, you have a patrishian, massachusetts politician, defined by the other side and a sitting president, who the voters are comfortable with, but they have concerns with. in 2004, george bush's issue was iraq. this year, with barack obama, we have the economy. but at the end of the day, the american people, i think are going to look at both of these guys, see there is a clear choice between the two and decide, the man at the helm, while he has not fully delivered on his promise, they are more comfortable with and they know him better ultimately, i think he will be re-elected with a narrow margin. >> i will take you back to the left and test your historic perspective in talking about reagan. the voting block that was important for reagan, what that

was voting block? and is that a similar voting block for republican this is year? >> well, they called them reagan democrats, conservatives. this year, it's white, working-class democrats, a key group. they are heavily concentrated in places like pennsylvania, throughout the midwest, over to wisconsin. yes, they are sensitive to the economy. they are similar to a group from 30 years ago. but i have to tell you, i know that politicians and pollsters like to compare this election to earlier ones and find the patterns that fit. the reality is in 1980, we didn't have talk true coming to us. we didn't have the internet, we didn't have twitter, they didn't spend as much early on. this campaign is taking us into a new era and nobody knows what's going to happen. bernard and david will both tell you, they don't know who will win. they know who they are rooting for and they can show a scenario. >> no twitter, scott!

>> you can imagine? >> no, talk radio. thicks have changed dramatically. that's true. i mean, that's a fact that we can all agree on. real quick here and we can take a quick break. we have a new poll, the columbus dispatch says 45-45 in that bellwether state. >> the country is very much split down the middle. this election, while a national conversation, is a battle of 40 or 50 key counties and a number of them near ohio. we will election play out. and whoever wins ohio, very likely to be the next president. i think that the ryan pick will hurt romney in florida. if he loses florida, he has to win ohio. so to have a split electorate a few months out is dangerous for the republican nominee. >> david, a quick question here.

gabby has a question about mitt romney. she says a lot of folks are saying he is unlikeable. who thinks he's unlikeable? is it democrats or republicans? >> no. that's probably democrats am but i want to get something broader. we have the electorate who is very dissatisfied about the direction of the country. the new undecided voter is a group who is saying, i am really unhappy, what's my alternative and how those folks break. i would say that reaches across the country, not just ojaio and florida. but i mean, it's people sitting around their kitchen tables, trying to figure out how to purchase groceries, they are looking for the best policy, not the person they like the best. >> david bernard and scott, stand by. we have a great question from scott who wants to know which groups are the most important for the convention and what do the republicans need to do? we have a few more questions. so stand beautiful thank you

very much. >> meantime, the republicans have a tropical storm, or maybe a honour to deal with, as their convention gets underway. isaac is bearing down on south florida. we are waiting for a news conference from the national hurricane center, scheduled 20 minutes from now. when it happens, we will have it for you, live. ♪ [ man ] excuse me miss.

>> back with us, taking your questions. so one great question, scott from, joyce, she wants to know, are the baby boomers still the largest voting block in america? who is the largest voting block in the country ?oi. boomers are

the largest generation. as they get older, they are voting more often. they are key to this election. but most of -- most people know who they are going to vote for in 2012 and in 2016, we are talking about a very small group of uncommit the voters, that this race is being fought over and they are not paying attention. >> that's very interesting since most of us done know what we are going to have for lunch, much less who we are voting for. now that we know the baby boomers are the largest voting block, which voting groups are most important for the republicans as they head into this convention week? >> i think for both parties, it's independents. when we won the house in 2010, we won them by 19. this comes down to one simple question -- where are the jobs? that's the question. and those individuals who are focused on that question will make the difference in the

election. >> bernard, do you agree? >> i take a different view. i think that seniors and women are going to be the key voting blocks. seniors vote to a higher degree than anyone else. and seniors have shown 2-1, they don't trust mitt romney and paul ryan. and women in a large margin believes that the president cares about them, more than mitt romney. so i think, as you look at the two key groups of women and seniors, there is a lot of trouble on the horizon. >> 20 seconds here, how much can your convention change the numbers? >> the conventions may have a short bounce in either direction. they won't fundamentally reshape the race. the unaffiliated voters most of them think the conventions are a waste of time and money. >> we hope they don't know that because we have a lot of coverage. >> they do. i'm sorry. >> nice to have you here today. we hope to have you back. thank you for taking our viewers' questions. >> thanks for having me.

>> thanks so much. >> the latest track for tropical storm isaac has it turning into a big hurricane and heading straight for the gulf coast. janice dean is very worried about new orleans. more on that ahead. but right now, the storm is closing in on south florida and the florida keys. the outer bands already lashing miami, miami beach and the keys as well. wsvn's reporters are in the thick of it from hallover beach and key largo. >> reporter: very cool out here. i don't mean cool as in cool, temperaturewise it's very cool. it's -- boy -- it stings when it hits you in the face. it's just coming like that. there is no downward movement in this rain.

half of it must be water, off the ocean itself. now it's a mist. just a whiteout. >> definitely much he'ser wind and rain than we have seen all morning long. i am looking north and i can see, it's very dark with a long way to go. the other outer bands have been short. this one lasting longer than the minute or two-minute squalls. this is really packing a punch. >> reporting from south florida. a new update from the national hurricane center is 12 minutes away. take a look at key largo in the upper keys, being lashed by the wind and it is rain of tropical storm isaac. we'll be back with more coverage in just a moment.

seems they haven't been moving much lately. but things are starting to turn around because of business people like you. and regions is here to help. with the experience and service to keep things rolling. from business loans to cash management, we want to be your partner moving forward. so switch to regions. and let's get going. together.

>> right now, plan "b," we are a day away from what was supposed to be the convention in tampa. but most of the events have been delayed until tuesday. so what can we expect as four days get packed into three? a virginia delegate, slated to speak tomorrow, barbara comstock, the co-chair are in the virginia romney/ryan campaign and the deputy co-chair of the convention. you are supposed to speak. that's gone -- i guess. how do you do all of this, barbara? >> well, chairman reince priebus and governor rick scott and the romney campaign and everyone's working very closely together to make sure, first of all that, everyone coming is safe and secure and the people of florida, you know, have the resources they need. so that's the focus here. but we are going to have a great convention. we are really looking forward to t. they are trying to fit what they can into the three days, as much as of the monday program.

so we will have more details on that later on today. but everyone's really excited about being here and telling the story of how mitt romney and paul ryan are going to turn this country around and turn the economy around. i think you are going to see a very well managed convention, regardless of the circumstances. you know, that's what happens when you are leading. you have to adapt to circumstances. >> fox newschannel is there, obviously and planning to cover every bit of this convention. but the major broadcast network his announced in advance that they weren't going to cover the monday speeches anyway. what's the net effect, by losing most of monday's activities, are you really losing a huge opportunity to reach out to the american people and explain your positions? >> well i think we will be there on tv. we will be doing all kinds of media, through all kinds of mediums to make sure we are reeving people about the strong message that mitt romney and paul ryan have. you have seen them continuing to
