studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. morning, everybody. welcome to "today" on a tuesday morning. i'm excited about the "friends" reunion. i ordered a latte from gunther this morning. >> central park. it'll be fun to have them back together. they got together as part of a tribute to the legendary director, james. now, six days away from the rst votes in this presidential election. the democratic candidates making their pitches to voters in iowa last night during the final town hall before the caucuses. let's start with nbc's andrea mitchell. good morning. >> good morning, savannah. it wasn't a debate. but in separate appearances, the democrats run into tough questions when they tried to win over the undecided voters. >> reporter: within minutes, hillary clinton faced a blunt question from a young voter

>> i've heard from a few people my age they think you're dishonest, but i'd like to hear from you on why you feel the enthusiasm isn't there. >> i've been around a long time. people have thrown all kind of things to me. if you're new to politics, the first time you paid attention, you go, oh, my gosh, look at all of this. you have to say to yourself, why are they throwing all of that? i'll tell you why, because i've been on the front lines of change and progress since i was your age. >> reporter: sanders was asked how he defines being a democratic socialist. >> creating a government that works for all of us, not just a handful of people on the top. that's my definition of democratic socialism. >> reporter: each was asked to react to the other's tv ads. >> the one leader who has what it takes to get every part of the job done. >> reporter: sanders said she has voted for the iraq war. >> i was not secretary of state,

judgment is also important. >> reporter: she had nothing but praise for his simon and gar garfunkle themed ads. >> i think that's great. i think that's fabulous. i loved it. >> reporter: in the final days, sanders' economic message is resonating with voters who are hurting. >> it's so hard to do anything to pay your bills. you're ashamed all the time. >> to millions of people who are experiencing exactly what you that. we don't make change. >> reporter: president obama with politico seemed to be tipping toward clinton. >> she can start here, day one, non-vice president has ever been in who as quires to this office.

today, clinton maintained her double digit lead over sanders among women. sanders is still 68% over clinton's 21%. the trend could have an impact in iowa if the voters show up to vote. >> thank you very much. on to the republican side, the rivalry between donald trump and ted cruz is intensifying again, as the iowa caucuses get closer. nbc's national correspondent peter alexander is covering the good morning to you. >> good morning. on the republican side, new this morning, another growing national lead for donald trump. the nbc news surveymonkey online tracking poll has trump at 39%, increasing his lead over cruz. he's up 22 points as cruz falls 4 points. rubio a distant third. the candidates kicking off a final sprint to the finish line. >> reporter: donald trump is convinced if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

>> he could run right now for prime minister of canada. he'd have no problem. >> reporter: trump is also calling cruz a liar for his rival's ad that accuses the billionaire threatening to bulldoze a woman's home. trump said that lies never work and cruz sa nast is a nasty guy. >> we can't have him in there, when every other senator thinks he's a whack job. >> he's going to insult but i'm not going to respond in kind. >> reporter: trump says it's personality, not policy. using the front runner's words. cruz is mocking trump, too. two corinthians 3:17. >> two corinthians walk into a bar. >> reporter: while the rest of the field is running out of time for a surge, chris christie raised eyebrows for this

asked why he left new jersey to campaign in the midst of blizzard cleanup. >> because it's already done. >> i have friends and family calling, sending me videos, pictures all over the state of flood. >> all over the state? there's been one county that's flooded in the state. one county. i don't know what you expect me to do. want me to go down with a mop? >> christie noted 500 people statewide were still without power. he offered to call the girl's friends who were impacted. more drama ahead of this week's republican debate, donald trump threatening to pull out because he doesn't think megyn kelly can treat him fairly. fox said trump is scared to face the questions, and he'll learn if he's president, he doesn't get to pick the journalist. >> thank you very much.

political moderator of "meet the press." >> good morning. >> bernie sanders is a candidate that appeals to the hearts of democratic voters, and hillary clinton appeals to their head. did you see or hear anything last night in the town hall that changed that? >> i don't know if i saw anything that changed it, but i thought hillary clinton was sort of acknowledging the place that she is in this race a little bit. trying to fix it a little bit. i thought that she was trying very hard to engage, trying to stay nimble a little bit. she didn't come across as bitter. bernie sanders was somewhat defensive. he got a couple questions that weren't necessarily intended to force a contrast with hillary clinton, and he decided to take it. one was on guns and one when he watched her ad, he went at foreign policy.

saw bernie sanders tense and a relaxed clinton. >> hillary clinton is saying, i'm the experienced candidate. sanders had a good comeback. experience matters, so does judgment. do you think she handled that, >> no. i thought that was his strongest moment, as far as an issue, trying to beat back the idea that he's not ready for the job. you know, she doesn't have a good answer and it doesn't help that the current national security situation in the middle east is a mess. i think it only helps reinforce the sanders charge, especially with democratic votes. >> i want to play this sound bite one more time from the president, doing an interview with "politico," and ask you about it on the other side. this is talking about hill ary lary clinton clinton. listen. >> she can start here day one, more experienced than any non-vice president has ever been in, who aspires to the office. >> if you're running the clinton

an endorsement and play that tape any time you can. >> that's right. how about the way she reacted last night? i mean, she goes, i'm touched. i think she was not just excited but relieved. remember, sanders is trying really hard to play the role of obama here again. to create this sense of deja vu again. i think hillary clinton, their strategy and it has been this way for three weeks, don't just stand next to the president. hug him, do whatever it takes. this is a case of the president trying to reciprocate. >> it's the most engaged he's been on this race. seeming to hug hillary clinton back after she did him the same favors. no coincidences in politics? is this something they worked out ahead of time? >> i feel this is something where the president was trying to do her a solid. he said he's not going to endorse until the, quote, primary season is over, but he knows there's pandemonium in his hampshire.

michael bloomberg thing. you know, if she can win iowa, she can calm a lot of nerves. i think the president knew that. >> ten seconds, chuck, donald trump threatening to pull out of the republican debate over megyn kelly. does he do anything with that strategy, other than make her a bigger superstar? >> i think it does. look, i think he's working the ref a little bit. already, if he gets a question he doesn't like, he can just chalk it up to that. i think he's setting the expectation. >> chuck todd, thanks very much. talk about the weather. there is mounting frustration this morning over all that snow from the east coast. historic blizzard. airports struggling to get back on track. with neighborhoods not plowed today, people are starting to voice their anger and frustration. nbc national correspondent miguel almaguer is in washington, where the federal government and the schools are closed again today. miguel, good morning. >> savannah, good morning. it'll be another tough day in
