the regent's board continued the meeting today in iowa city... kwwl's kristin rogers speaking with students and facutly who were a part of yesterday's protest, kristin what are they saying? there are many different reason why people are angry, one of the themes i heard loud and clear today was that people don't feel like they were listened to, as a lot of concerns were voiced before bruce harrold's hire.

"i think the important thing we need to start doing now is time. it is an uncomorftable discussion to have." marty says several professors

and campus police are educating instructors how to stay safe on campus. for the first time this election season, a new poll has republican presidential candidate donald trump not in the lead. dr. ben carson is now taking the edge over donald trump according to a new quinnipiac poll released today. carson takes the lead with 28% support among likely iowa republican caucus participants, compared to trump's 20%. quinnipiac polled 574 likely iowa caucus-goers between october 14-october 20. following carson being named the new g-o-p frontrunner, trump tweeted this on his personal account. the tweet speculates that iowa voters have "issues in the brain".

the tweet and issued an "apology". trump said a young intern accidentally did a retweet and the intern apologizes. after a summer surge, carly fiorina is hoping for a fall flourish on the campaign. so far, she's not seeing the results. but it's not for a lack of effort in iowa. the republican presidential hopeful is spending a lot of time here. the new quinnipiac university poll out today has her tied for sixth in iowa. kwwl's jerry gallagher sat down with fiorina to get a sense of what's driving her campaign right now. we've had 1-on-1 interviews with a number of candidates so far and we've asked each one of them for a specific story about an iowan they've met -- that illustrates why they're running. fiorina is the first to answer that question directly. "the people of iowa take their responsibilities very seriously." from town halls to tailgates, carly fiorina is covering a lot of ground in iowa.

she says one meeting --- stands out -- demonstrating why she's in the race. she met a poultry farmer whose flock was hit hard literally breaking, 'carly, i've been in this business my entire life... i know what to do. the government won't let me do it." fiorina says they told him to keep feeding his flock until the u-s-d-a could get there. she says he many people's lives in this country is being crushed by a government that is too big, too powerful, too costly, too inept and too corrupt. as citizens we have to take our government back." fiorina's campaign surged over the summer after two strong showings in the republican debates... but now... one of her statements is being questioned. you said regarding planned parenthood, i dare hillary clinton and barack obama to watch these tapes watch this fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking while someone says we have to keep it

there's no evidence the piece of video fiorina is talking about is connected to a planned parenthood clinic. "while everyone is getting all tied up on whether or not that photo was what i said it was of, planned parenthood has never denied that this is going on." "but specific to that video, you don't feel it's deceptive to stand up there and say, 'this is connected to planned parenthood?'" "not at all. not at all" planned parenthood says it did nothing wrong. fetal tissue available for research -- but will cover the one critic calls that an admission of guilt. so far, not one congressional investigation into planned parenthood has shown the organization broke any laws. we've got you covered, jerry gallagher, kwwl news. back to fiorina and her campaign. despite what today's new poll shows, she can find hope in

"i recognize the negatives, there's no doubt about that. but defined by them." he says an opportunity for improvement in this city...stopping the violence. working with teachers, faith leaders, business leaders, and others

but that's not all. "it's a small group of people. i think the way we attack that is make sure the law enforcement officers, the command staff have what they need and then let them do what they know how budget. it's something he says his time in office gives him experience with "my budgets are going to be rational. they're going to be towards public safety. police, fire, code enforcement and those other things. we're going to pay our bills. we are not going to default on our loans or anything like that." in waterloo nikki newbrough kwwl news. hurley says he also wants to talk
