for the first time in months, a national poll shows donald trump is not leading the republican presidential race. a new c-b-s news new york times poll says 26- percent of g-o-p primary voters surveyed back ben carson for the nomination ... ... compared to 22 percent for trump. the retired brain surgeon has seen his stock rise in recent weeks at the expense of trump. three other polls show carson

in the key early state of iowa. responding to the new national poll today, trump said he'll stick with the presidential race, even if he has to run from behind. when donald trump brings his presidential campaign to sioux city this evening, he'll be greeted by lots of supporters.. and hundreds of protesters. more than one-thousand people have indicated they will stage a silent protest outside west high school. last night, the group "dream iowa" asked the school board to cancel trump's appearance, calling him a bully for his comments about illegal immigrants. group members say they actually fear for the safety of students. "we're already seeing negative effects at the school where we're already hearing racist comments in the hallways. after the event we're worried that this could actually increase and cause harm to the students," said "ismael valadez, dream iowa. school officials say they understand the concerns, but school facilities are available to the public and politicians often rent them. "we rent it to them just like we would rent it to anyone else. just

in 2004, to now president obama in 2007 and 2008 and sarah pallin during the last election cycle was at this same school." police plan to have extra officers on hand at trump's campaign rally. that's standard for a high-profile event. trump's campaign is paying for the extra manpower, a cost of about 3-thousand dollars. love him or hate him, donald trump draws a crowd wherever he goes. you might think that when it comes to the local effort, he's just winging it. but cnn's sara murray found out-- the reality is just the opposite.

(sam clovis/trump national campaign co- chairman and policy adviser) "for the typical campaign in iowa, you do seven pizza ranches in a day and you get crowds of 30, at most. we do one event a day, and get 3,000." at every event, volunteers sign on trump's unconvention al supporters... (nats) convincing people who've never caucused before to be precinct captains in iowa...enlistin g them to phone bank in new hampshire...an d training them on turnout in nevada. the push starts before trump fans even arrive. they sign up for free tickets onlineenter ing their contact informationand helping the campaign build a database of potential supporters. state directors say they are inundated with volunteers some, as unique as the candidateunafraid of using unorthodox methods to attract attention (christopher mazerall/trum p volunteer) "i wear it along town though if i'm going to be hanging up signs and putting things out i'll wear my hat, i'll take my parrot with me, a cockatoo likes people, so gets a lot of people's attention." the campaign keeps a lean staff

headquarters. paid employees are fanned out across nearly a dozen statesincluding some that don't vote until march. the campaign aims to send a message to its critics and competitorstrump is in it to win. reporter: "so what's your response to people who still don't think mr. trump is in for the long haul?" (sam clovis/trump national campaign co- chairman and policy adviser) "well, i can't say it on the on the air. but i think a polite response would be - check the scoreboard when the clocks run out." trump's fame works for - and possibly against - him. his brand is so big that he spends next to nothing on advertising. but his popularity comes with a cost (fred doucette/new hampshire trump co- chairman) "it's probably not logistic possibility to be hitting all the small diners, the famous ones for mr. trump because he draws such a media presence...doe sn't mean he can't connect with these people and he does and he goes out of his way, but it's on a the early states aren't used to

large scale campaigningand many voters prefer close contact with the candidates. which may help explain why trump now trails in iowa making that army of volunteers, all the more important. sara murray, cnn...washingt on. >> the sioux city school district has reached a deal to purchase the final home needed to make way for the new bryant elementary school. the district paid 214- thousand dollars for the property. it's the last of eight homes the district had to buy to get the property for the new school, which is set to open in the fall of 2019. a new siouxland youth soccer team will represent the united states next summer in two international tournaments in officials from the b-s-x soccer academy, the diablos soccer team and the norm waitt sr. ymca announced monday the team will include 20 players from north, east, south sioux city and bishop heelan high schools. they'll play at tournaments next july in sweden and denmark.
