♪ now it's my line, good morning, it's monday, september the 14th. i'm louis burgdorf. donald trump is gaining on hillary clinton according to the latest polling out this morning. "the washington post"/abc news poll found trump to be the favorite of 33% of republican voters, up nine points since mid-july and 9 point increase since late may shortly before he announced his candidacy. dr. ben carson in second with 20%, a combined 53% for the top two outsiders running. everyone else is in single digits. looking further down the field to tenth place is wisconsin governor scott walker. now polling at 2% nationally, in mid-july he was in third place with 11%. there are also polls in the

pivotal early contest states on the republican side, the cbs news poll of likely iowa caucus goers finds donald trump in the lead but ben carson is coming closer and closer, just four points behind the front-runner. now in new hampshire where trump holds a huge lead reaching 40% leading carson by 28 points, trump's lead is just about equal to the next five candidates combined. and in south carolina, trump is at 36%, ben carson in a distant second at 21 points. everyone else is again in single digits. meantime donald trump dove into the world of college football this weekend. he returned to iowa, wearing an orange and orange camouflage "make america great again" hat. he mingled with fans before the big iowa versus iowa state game. trump also attended a campaign rally in boone, iowa, where he tossed out hats to the crowd and also talked about his nearest opponent, better than carson. >> people don't have energy. i don't think ben has the energy. ben is a nice man, but when you

are negotiating against china and you're negotiating against these japanese guys that are going to come at you in waves, and they think we're all a bunch of jerks because our leaders are so stupid and so incompetent and so inept, we need people that are really smart that have tremendous deal-making skills, and that have great, great energy. >> dr. carson reacted to trump's energy comments yesterday. >> that doesn't bother you at all? >> no, it doesn't bother me because i recognize that i have plenty of energy. you know, operating on people for 10, 12, sometimes for greater than 20 hours at a time, making critical decisions after many hours of intense work. >> but dr. carson -- >> unexpected situations come up. >> you actually apologized -- >> you don't have -- >> rick perry dropped out of the

race for president on friday but not before making a not so subtle swipe at donald trump. >> today, i'm success spending my campaign for the presidency of the united states. we have a tremendous field of candidat candidat candidates, probably the greatest group of men and women. i step aside knowing our party's in good hands. the conservative movement has always been about principles, not about personalities. our nominee should embody those principles. he or she must make the case for the cause of conservatism more than the cause of their own celebrity. >> perry's departure came 99

days after launching his second bid for the white house. perry struggled to pay his own staff. one group that was surprised by his early departure was his opportunity and freedom superpack, which must now decide what to do with the more than $12 million left in the bank. the group says it was blind-sided by his exit, having just purchased more than 3,000 spots in iowa on his behalf. now to new polling on the democratic side and more bad news for hillary clinton out of iowa, new hampshire. ugov/cbs news poll of likely new hampshire primary voters shows bernie sanders widening his lead ahead of clinton by a whopping 22 points and sanders a double-digit advantage in iowa as well leading clinton 43% to 33%. clinton has a strong standing in south carolina where she's still ahead of sanders by more than 20 points. the enthusiasm for the democratic challenger was on display at his rallies over the

weekend. sanders kicked off a four-day southern swing in atlanta on friday, speaking for over an hour to a crowd of more than 1,300 people. on saturday, he traveled to south carolina, where he's introduced at an event by activists and academic cornell west at an historically black benedict college. almost 1,000 people turned out there to watch the vermont senator speak. then in north carolina yesterday, sanders wrapped up the weekend with a speech in front of an overflow crowd that the associated press reports totaled more than 9,000 people. >> if we stand together and we do not allow them to divide us up by race, by whether we're gay or straight, whether we're man or woman, whether we were born in america or born somewhere else, when we stand together, there is nothing we cannot accomplish. [ cheers and applause ] but we cannot accomplish any of

that unless people get involved in the political process. so tonight, please join the political revolution. thank you all. >> and this morning, sanders will take his political revolution to an unlikely sight, liberty university in virginia. the self-described democratic socialist will speak at the conservative christian school founded by rechbd jerry falwell and where ted cruz announced his candidacy for president back in march. there's no indication the e-mail server belonging to hillary clinton was ever totally cleared, this according to "the washington post". "the post" cites the company that maintained the server fleet river networks in denver, experts told "the washington post" there's a difference between deleting e-mails and wiping it clean. it may be possible to restore some of clinton's deleted e-mails this as the justice department says in a court filing there's no question clinton had the authority to delete e-mails that were personal in nature. he added "she appropriately

could have done so even if she were working on a government server." let's turn overseas to europe, showing signs of strain and struggles to cope with the greatest mass migration of people since world war ii. germany which shouldered much of the burden of the crisis suddenly imposed border controls and froze all train traffic from austria for 12 hours yesterday after some 16,000 migrants arrived in munich this weekend alone. berlin's abrupt about-face came as greek authorities reported 34 migrants, including babies and young children drowned after their boat capsized in the aegean sea. in austria, 42 others smuggled inside a truck were discovered yesterday. lester holt is in hungary with more. >> reporter: the pace of this country-by-country journey is gruelling. >> where is the mother? >> reporter: especially to the youngest. this child has just been brought across the border. she couldn't walk on her own, she looks flushed and dehydrated and right now no one can seem to

mistakenly killed 12 people including mexican tourists after four vehicles entered a restricted zone in the country's western desert. a combined force from egyptian police and military were pursuing terrorist elements in the area. security officials said they had believed the vehicles were transporting mill tabts. at least two mexican nationals were killed. >> let's turn stateside here, kim davis, the county clerk in kentucky who spent five nights in jail for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses will return to work this morning. what she will do when she gets there remains in question. lawyers for the 49-year-old clerk filed a motion friday asking she be allowed to continue banning marriage licenses for her entire office until the lawsuit against her is settled. most of her deputy clerks issued licenses during her absences and some vowed to continue to do so even after she returns. still ahead on "way too early." highlights from week one of the nfl including the big injury from last night's game that will keep one all pro receiver out

for at least a month. plus -- >> it came so quick, it was just utter chaos trying to get out of there. >> we lost everything. we got just our truck and my family and that's it. >> one person killed, and entire blocks of homes devoured by fast-moving wildfire in california. bill karins is here to tell us if the weather will give firefighters an upper hand. can a business have a mind?
