>> a lot of people into that song around you've been singing all morning. i think some would agree, you're kind of crushing it already, not in the same way though. we'll wait for adele. >> we'll let her sing that one. absolutely. our day's top story, one year to go to the 2016 presidential election and the new poll has ben carson and hillary clinton surging and president obama is weighing in on the way. we'll get to the lester holt's exclusive interview with the president in a moment, but we'll start in washington with nbc national correspondent peter alexander. peter, good morning to you. >> reporter: hey, savannah, good morning to you. good. the big headline this morning, that ben carson has shot up weeks. second. 50% of republicans pick carson as either their first or second choice, and while the depth of that support is yet to be tested, he's already proven to be a force in this field. dr. ben carson signing books and shaking hands but leaving his opponents shaking their heads.

carson surging into the lead among gop primary voters at 29%, the highest number for any republican so far this season, since points ahead of donald trump. carson support strongest among evangelical and female voters, even more if the former neurosurgeon is the nominee, 77% of republicans say they could see themselves supporting him. just 60% for trump. >> i continue to do what i've been doing and that is to tell the truth and talk about the issues that are important to the people. >> reporter: still, trump is lashing out at another would-be rival, freshman senator marco rubio whose debate performances vaulted him into third place, both nationally and in the critical early primary state of new hampshire. >> i think he's an overrated person. i don't think he's going to make it. >> reporter: when asked, trump also dismissed rubio as a potential running mate and is following jeb bush's lead criticizing rubio's poor senate attendance records. >> marco doesn't show up to votes. he doesn't do things that you're supposed to do.

sagging in single digits in fifth place promising a political reset. >> i can fix it. >> reporter: and giving a glimpse into all the advice he's getting to pick up his game. >> ditch the glasses, get rid of the purple striped tie. i like this tie. it only cost 20 bucks. >> reporter: meanwhile, the republicans united front pushing to change upcoming debate format formats is already fraying with donald trump insisting he'll negotiate with tv networks alone and john kasich and chris christie and carly fiorina won't sign on to any letter demanding changes and the president mocking them last night. >> and then it turns out they can't handle a bunch of cnbc moderators at the debate. if you can't handle those guys, you know, then i don't think the chinese and the russians are going to be too worried about

you. >> reporter: a couple more items about our poll. for all his support donald trump also remains the most unpopular political figure in that poll. 56% of americans say they have a negative view of him, but this is important. when asked who has the best chance in the general election, trump still leads all republicans. matt and savannah. >> all right. peter alexander, thank you so much. >> let's take a look at democratic side now. our new poll shows hillary clinton pulling away. nbc's kristen welker is in iowa where secretary clinton is campaigning today. kristen, good morning to you. >> reporter: matt, good morning to you. secretary clinton has two town halls here in iowa today, and it does come as our new poll shows she is increasing her lead over her top challenge over vermont senator bernie sanders. let's take a look at numbers. according to our latest poll, secretary clinton now leads sanders by 31 points. that's up from her 25-point lead in october, but it's not all good news. she still struggles with the general electorate. 53% of registered voters give

and straightforward with only 27% of her high marks. now, these numbers are significant because they underscore that voter perception is still an issue for clinton, even after the first debate, benghazi hearing and biden's decision not to get into the race. this morning clinton is releasing this new ad here in iowa and new hampshire. it's focused on gun safety, and it comes after clinton met last night in chicago with mothers and family members of african-american men and boys who were mostly killed during interactions with law enforcement. among those at the meeting, the mothers of trayvon martin, michael brown and tahrir rice. now this issue of gun violence and also the black lives matter movement increasingly pressing in this democratic primary. expect secretary clinton to focus on all of that later today here in iowa. matt, savannah. >> all right. kristen welker in iowa for us. kiss ten, thank you very much. with an election one year out there there's a popular phrase we're hearing allotted from the candidates it's the long view. >> they say you don't want to

they have little impact of what will actually happen in 12 months. are they right? we edecided to look back. >> in 2007 this is how the polling stacked up on the democratic side. hillary clinton had 47 opinion to 25% for president obama. as we know obama went on to win the democratic nomination and the presidency. >> and on the republican side it was rudy giuliani leading the pack with 33% and john mccain had 16% and as we know senator mccain eventually became the republican nominee. >> and here's how the race looked in 2011. mitt romney had 28% and her mincane was 27%. romney went on to become the party's nominee. >> let's turn now to nbc "nightly news" anchor lester holt who talked about the 016 race, his legacy in the white house and a lot more in that interview. >> i have to tell, looking at those numbers, you forget. you forget how quickly things can change the i sat down with the president.

we wanted to talk about criminal justice reform and spent a lot of time on that and gave us a few minutes later on to talk about the 2016 election. he's kind of on outside looking in right now at this process. he talks about silly season as he calls it and he pointed out that right now we're not hearing a lot in terms of specifics. >> i think the problem with election season is sometimes folks want to devote a lot more time to sloganiering and stirring folks up emotionally, but they are not spending enough time, you know, really trying to explain to the american people what exactly are you trying to do? >> that was kind of his broad view at the situation right now. he did, of course, tweak the nose at the republicans a little bit. >> mentions it's silly season d.have that mocking comment for the gop candidates and last debate do you get the sense he's following this very closely or occupied with other issues? >> i think he's following it very closely and i think he will become more involve. by the way, he said something

very similar to me about the cnbc debate and pointing out that if you're going to try to take on world leaders you've got to be able to deal with the moderators and we'll play that tonight on "nightly news" but he's drilling down. he talked about with republicans, the sense that there's kind of a disgruntled element as he put them that seem to be driving the conversation through social media and i -- i think we all recognize that the electorate will become more engaged now as we move past the holiday season. he's watching very closely. >> we'll get more of that interview with president obama tonight on "nbc nightly news." the mystery now of what cause that had passenger plane crash in egypt is deepening this morning. u.s. officials telling nbc news they are ruling out a missile, but could it have been a bomb? nbc chief global correspondent bill neely is in cairo. bill, good morning to you. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, matt. a lot of significant developments. u.s. defense officials telling nbc news that heat flash rules

out a missile strike but nothing else, and we have the first hints of what might have been heard on the cockpit voice recorders. the heat flash was detected over the desert of the exact time of the crash, but the brief bright light seen by the u.s. military satellite could have been caused by many things. it could have been a missile or a bomb on the plane. it could have been an engine or fuel tank exploding in mid-air or even the plane hitting the ground. the infrared satellite detected a flash, not a heat trail, so defense officials tell nbc news a missile is not the cause. a russian news agency says one black box reveals routine conversations, then unusual sounds in the cockpit but no distress signal. the debris field is also yielding clues. the russian news agency says investigators have found what are describes as elements not related to the aircraft

isis claims it downed the plane. that. >> that's propaganda. >> reporter: it's propaganda, he says, and warns about jumping to conclusions. the u.s. is cautious, too, about a terrorist link. >> it's unlikely, but i wouldn't rule it out. >> reporter: investigators are working on the two flight recorders, extracting information but still releasing none. the airline metrojet claims a technical fault couldn't have caused the crash, blaming and external impact. russian officials say that isn't based on fact. among the dead the sheen family pictured leaving for egypt. their deaths, like all the others, still unexplained. so investigators are ruling out nothing at moment, not mechanical failure nor mass murder as a result of terrorism, and still no official word here on what those black boxes might reveal, the hints though suggest

the the crew simply had no time to do anything. matt, savannah? >> bill neely in cairo, thank you so much. we learned overnight that the man who played a pivotal role in persuading the u.s. in 2003 has died. >> talking about ahmed chalabi, an iraqi politician. he lived years in exile but he's the guy who bushed the bush administration with since discredit the information about weapons of mass destruction. the 72-year-old died of an apparent heart attack. now to new allegations against volkswagen which the u.s. government says got caught cheat on emissions tests again, this time for more than 10,000 more cars than the company has previously acknowledged. nbc's tom costello is on the story again. tom, good morning. >> reporter: hi, good morning, savannah. this could mean millions more in new fines for the world's second largest carmaker which has already admitted to altering engines to harm harm full emissions in more than 11 million cars. now the epa says it's also found

thousands of pores,s, volkswagen's luxury line. they are amongst volkswagen's priciest cars and most profitable. luxury suvs like the pores, cayenne and vwturig as well as 2005 audi models with a v-6 diesel engine that the epa says vw equipped with secret software to fool investigators. in a statement to deny the latest allegations, vw insists no software has been installed to alter emissions characteristics in a forbidden manner, pledging to cooperate full wet epa to clarify this matter in its entirety. vw's effort to clear the air comes barely a month following public outrage. >> the american people, the epa

the world have been defrauded by volkswagen. >> reporter: then the epa found nearly half a million vw vehicles emitting harmful pollutants known to cause smog and asthma. >> our company was dishonest, and in my german words we have totally screwed up. >> reporter: proposed first fine, $18 billion. now a possible $375 million more. yeah, that, this laysest spat with the epa could really hurt sales of oughty and pores, brands in the u.s. which had been unscathed by the scandal. meanwhile regulators continue to tell car owners of all cars affected they are safe to drive even though they emit high levels of nitrogen oxide. >> thank you. former olympic star oscar pistorius is facing an appeal by prosecutors who argue today he should have been convicted of murder, not the lesser charge of culpable homicide for killing his girlfriend reeva steenkamp. >> he was released last month less than a year into his five-year sentence and moved

into his uncle's mansion for house arrest, but state is the arguing that the trial judge misinterpreted parts of the law and ignored important evidence. a panel of five judges now is hearing this appeal. the number of e. coli cases link to chipotle restaurants is expected to grow as health officials in the popular chain which has closed 43 stores in two states search for the source that have outbreak. nbc national correspondent miguel almaguer is in portland. miguel, good morning to you. >> reporter: hey, matt, good morning. still unclear when stores here in the pacific northwest will reopen, this as customers who have fallen ill have filed lawsuits against chipotle. this morning health officials are trying to track down the origins of the chipotle e. coli 22 people. and while they expect to note source and strain of the outbreak later today with at least one official suggesting the outbreak could have been produce. they have also been bracing for even more cases of sick diners

in the days ahead. chris collins is one of the eight who were hospitalized. >> and this was intense pain that just would never stop. it just wouldn't stop to the point where i couldn't sleep at all. >> reporter: chipotle says the outbreak may be connected to one of its locations in portland and seattle, but it voluntarily closed 43 restaurants, including all of those in washington state out of a, quote, abundance of caution. buying local is a proud part of chipotle's business model. sourcing its ingredients from local farms whenever possible. >> we're buying great ingredients and making sustainably raise the ingredients available to everybody which is a very important mission. >> reporter: but this e. coli outbreak is the third health care in four months for the casual dining chain. in august, almost 100 customers fell ill to the norovirus traced back to a location in southern california and weeks later a

affected dozens of people was linked back to tomatoes served at 22 of its restaurants. doctors said e. coli outbreak can cause serious health issues. they hope later on today to have a better number on the true scope of those who have been affected by the illness. matt and savannah, back to you. very much. there were tense moments on a spirit airline in los angeles overnight before the plane even got off the ground. seven passengers had to be removed from the plane because of a dispute over a seat. >> the incident was caught on a cell phone camera. witnesses say the airline overbooked that flight and when one man got to his seat apparently there was someone already in it. the man allegedly argued with the flight attendant and refused to be reassigned to another seat prompting the crew to call in the police. as we said, seven passengers were escorted off the plane, accused of being disruptive and inciting other passengers. at least one of them says they were discriminated against for being black. spirit airlines has not responded to a request for

comment. there was plenty of drama meantime during "monday night football" between the carolina panthers and indianapolis colts. either. look at this. during the fourth quarter two members of an activist group rappelled from the upper deck and unfurled a banner saying dump dominion, protesting america's financing of a liquefied natural gas process. charlotte process was called to get them down. >> in overtime the panthers kicker booted a 52-yard field goal to seal the win for the carolina panthers and keep their perfect season alive. we've done sports. got to do weather, israel. >> that's right. had some windy conditions out in riverside, california, wind blowing around and the storm system pushing through and also as you go into the mountains so does springs, california. take a look at snow coming down. parts of nevada picking up 10 inches of snow, so winter out there but guess what? it's going to feel like summer here.

releasing a statement overnight saying white girls only and the sentiment it express nez no way describes our admission policy for social events. entry into our home was by no means determined by race. the national chapter says it is still investigating the incident, adding our leadership has zero tolerance for any behaviors or actions that deviate from our values, mission and creed. it's the late accusation of racism against sae. the university of oklahoma chapter made headlines last march after a video was released showing members singing a racist chant. the university took swift action, expelling two of the students caught singing and now sae officials quickly closed the chapter. we should point out that the student who first posted on facebook about this incident was not actually part of that group that was allegedly turned away from the party. she claimed in her post that she experienced a similar incident in which she was turned away

from an sae party last year. >> we'll continue to follow t.stephanie, thank you. meanwhile in ohio today, voters will decide whether to legalize mayor ana in that state. it's a ballot measure gaining national attention for the well-known names who could cash in if it passes.

jobs, reinvig rated our economy and improve the safety of our communities. >> reporter: lachey, along with fashion designer nanette la pore and nba great oscar robertson is a shawl group of wealthy investors called responsible ohio claiming legalizing pot would create 0,000 jobs in the state and spur a billion dollar market. the catch, the amendment would give exclusive rights to all the marijuana grown and sold in 1,100 stores in the buckeye state to just ten groups. one is lacheyeth's. >> a good deal for nick lachey and his cronies who would have control over the marijuana monopoly but bad for ohio issue 2 would prevent any constitutional amendment from creating a monopoly. if both pass, there could be a conflict. most polling shows voters are split on the issue of legalization. >> i care very deeply about the people here. >> reporter: with well-funded proponents like lachey's group doing his best to frame it as a

business decision, one that could make them very, very rich. >> the rich folks are investing a lot of money to not only change the system, create lots of jobs, 30,000 jobs and generate $554 million a year. >> reporter: nick lachey declined our request for an on-camera interview. the city of hudson, ohio, did confirm this morning to nbc news that this land is zoned for agricultural use. we reached out to the developer and they didn't returnur call. responsible ohio, a group of investors backing this ballot measure did, confirm it's looking to invest in this land if in fact it passes, and that would make this site one of those ten sites throughout the state with exclusive commercial growing rights. one other interesting note, matt, nick lachey who did grow up in ohio and is pushing this measure did reveal in a recent interview he won't be voting today and that's because he's still registered in california. >> all right. we'll be following this vote as it unfolds today. erica, thank you very much.

>> reporter: spend a day with 15-year-old jake george you'll quickly know that technology follows him as a shaddo. his cell phone is the alarm clock that wakes him and the video game player that entertains him, the tool that keeps him in touch whether in the classroom or at basketball practice. >> i'm normally texting my friends on my phone, maybe on instagram and social media kind of keeping up with what's going on. >> reporter: for teens music is the top media choice and for tweens it's tv. boys lean towards video games while girls are more likely to embrace social media, although surprisingly only 10% of teens fix social media as their favorite activity. for some it's seen as something that they have to do these days. >> in a little way you're all competing with your friends on who can get the most likes and followers and everything so everyone is always trying to one up each other. >> reporter: the study also finds while doing homework 76% of teens listen to music, 60% text and 50% are on social networking sites.

two-thirds of teens think that they can multitask while doing their homework and they are wrong. >> reporter: still, experts say this technology is now a way of life so parents must help kids create a healthy media diet by putting devices away from time to time and encouraging more face-to-face communication. the george family has set up rules, no video games after 8:00 p.m. and no technology at the dinner table. mom and dad also keep a close eye on what jake is doing. >> i'll just ask him, what are you listening to, what's that video about? can i hear it out loud. >> reporter: they also see all technology. it helps them keep in touch, stay organized, and when the day is done jake is soothed to sleep by the sounds coming from his tablet, a modern day lullby that symbolizes a new way of life. for "today," joe fryer, nbc news los angeles. that? >> wow, definitely. >> a 14 yearly, 12-year-old and almost 9-year-old and we fight this battle every day, and i would say we are losing it at

>> i have to say, i have a 14-month-old, but she sees me on the phone. i feel like i'm setting a bad example >> exactly. >> parent have to look inward and for this study if for example a child is watching tv for an hour and was texting at the same time, researchers actually counted that as two hours of screen time. >> you should. >> interesting. coming up next on "trending," matt's little adventure with the thanksgiving turkey had a lot of you reaching out to him on twitter. we'll explain. >> they were lovely tweets. plus the start of a new special series "24 hours with." this morning the day in the life of a hard working police earning unlimited cash back on purchases. that's a win. but imagine earning it twice. you can with the citi double cash card. it lets you earn cash back twice. once when you buy and again as you pay. it's cash back then cash back again. and that's a cash back win-win. the citi double cash card. the only card that lets you earn cash back twice on every purchase with 1% when you buy and 1% as

. our friend and colleague tom brokaw is here to focus on an issue he cares deeply about, alzheimer's disease. one in nine people, 67 and older

has it. that's 5 million americans, and the number is only expected to grow as the baby boom generation ages. one organization on the front lines is the fisher center at rockefeller university. their message of hope on display on this window outside our studio for the month of november, alzheimer's awareness month. howard lutnick, ceo and chairman of cantor fitzgerald leads the boarded a the center and dr. mark flogolet is on the board and head of research. good morning. everybody thinks they know about it until it affects them personally and then they see a different side of it. it happened to you. >> as much as i was tuned into it it was an an centraly artery until it hit our family. a younger brother who was living in denver, well away from the rest of the family, had some reverses in his personal and business life and so we were not as connected to him as we probably should have been. my mother at age 92 was

gathering at her bedside and he would tell stories and couldn't the guy figure out what was going on. and our eldest daughter is a physician and she figured it out and confirmed him to go to denver and he had onset of alzheimer's and then it went very quickly. >> hour, obviously the search for a cure is paramount but i know at the fisher center you work with supporting people who are living with the disease and people living with the people living with the disease. >> so it goes two ways. you want to do core research so eventually you can knock it out and, you know, dr. greengard who found theed the fisher center and i had the honor of giving him the nobel prize and it was amazing and then we have to worry about the people who tear care of it so huge, $200 billion a year we spend on taking care of alzheimer's patients. it's unbelievable. >> where does the search, doctor for a cure and root cause stand

>> where do casts stand. right now it's billions and we're thinking it will reach 2.3 trillion by 2050 if nothing changed. >> what do you know about the root cause? . >> the root cause is really hard to guesstimate because most of the cost is coming from the family support. >> no, the cause, the cause of the disease? >> the cause of the disease is still not entirely clear but there's a few ways, you probably heard about the plaque. there is a debate about the way the neurons come inside the brain and this is going slowly from short-term memory loss. >> it's a plaque that gets in between the cells of the brain and like on your teeth, it's a plaque and then they can't communicate and you lieutenants ability to really get your thoughts around. >> do you feel, tom, that in our lifetime thereto will be a cure for this disease?

>> it's a tough one. there's a lot of research going on, especially at the rockefeller university and around the country, but i think families when they get into the late 50s, mid-60s have to sit down and assign roles. my daughter jennifer feels very strongly about that. too much of the care-giving is left to the women who have kind of a ma terrible instinct. they give up their jobs, their lives and sit at the beth bedside and do all that so families have to start planning now and hope that it will never come, but if it does everybody knows what their role is. in our case we had bill in a distant city and hired a very good advocate for him who can be there and give us an alert and then we rotated family members through visitations with him, and -- and it was heartbreaking but in many ways the last month of his life were in some ways some of the best months. >> we should concentrate on this all the time but we concentrated especially during november which is national alzheimer's awareness month. guys, thank you appreciate it

and good luck, doctor. >> thank you. up next holding court with the for the girl scout meeting... for the soccer team... for the girl scout meeting... how many meetings are you having?! p at stop&shop, prices have just dropped on thousands more items. my stop&shop. hey mom, i could use some basil. oh, sure thing, sweetie. life is eating out of a flower pot. wait where' s the? right. it' s being a food paparazzi. honey, your rump roast just broke the internet. as it should. and a takeout romantic. dessert! happy anniversary. life is mucho, and grande. life is eating, laughing, loving

1:46. we're back with the aboard-winning sports writer "new york daily news with the "columnist and best-selling author, likes that best, mike lupe camp his latest book "fast break" is about a young boy who struggles to find himself after the death of his mother. nice to see you. >> hey, matt. >> not just sports back but they are well-rounded and you tackle some very tough issues. >> of all the things i've asked kids to overcome in my books i don't think i've ever asked anybody to overcome more than this young boy. 12 years old, lost his mother, like the artful dodger, living on his own fooling the school, fooling everybody and even stealing food to keep going, but as basketball season starts he needs a new pair of sneakers and tries to steal a pair at a footlocker and ends up in child

protective services but he doesn't know it at the time but it's the beginning of a better life. >> and goes on to live with a foster family across town, and in some ways here's where we get into a reverse "blind side," the movie. this is a white kid from the wrong sides of the track who ends up living with an affluent african-american family. >> people made that reference and i never thought of it that way. the amazing thing about the boy is he's being pulled back to the projects. the only happy time in his childhood has been playing basketball with his buddies in this core at a project called the jeff, and the culture shock of moving to the right side of the tracks makes him actually angry at start of this book. >> i like it because it does, again, it deals wish use that all kids and all parents are dealing, not just sports. when i have you here i like to get your take on other event. >> okay. >> can do i that. call this the lightning round, world series just ended. great for the royals. will the mets be back in the

fall classic next year? >> yes, i think they will be because of the young pitching and by the way i would have left harvey in the game myself the other night. >> all right. after all the talk about deflategate and the pressure it put on the patriots and tom brady, he's killing it this year. they are undefeated. do you see a loss in their near future? >> you know what, i'll tell you something. the onl thing that makes me think they might not go undefeated is seating broncos the other night and what they did to the packers on "sunday night football." this is one of the great grudge tours of all time. they are going to show everybody, the patriots are. >> steve williams, a longtime caddy for tiger woods has written a tell-all book very critical of tiger. who comes out worse, tiger or steve williams in. >> steve williams does. by the way, that book i'll get to it after i re-read "war & peace." give him his 5 iron and shut up. >> really, you feel that way? >> you know what. this is bone-picking to me.

i don't care what his caddy thinks. >> and you've signed on to write a memoir with bob costas. this is short storeies? >> no, actually i tried to encourage costas to write -- that. >> i tried to explain to costas that maybe he should write my story, but we thought this would be a more profitable way to go. that's a good one. >> all about the questions. >> when your friend bob costas, talked about red eye at olympics. >> i remember vaguely. michael, congratulations. the book is called "fast break" out today. up next giada delaurentiis shares her thanksgiving apple selling 18 homes? easy. building them all in
