doing that for months will help us. >> reporter: rubio at tonight's debate sits in the line of fire and the other establishment candidates look to make their mark. this state is a must win for some. even as rubio picks up an endorsement from bobby jindal and takes aim at ted cruz. >> if you get a call on tuesday night saying i dropped out. it is not true. keep voting. >> reporter: that is a dig at the senator's campaign. cruz looking ahead and confident. though slipping in new hampshire polls, but in the top tier nationally. >> the two big initiatives i'm running on, repealing every word of obamacare and adopting a simple flat tax so you fill out your tax on a post card and abolish the irs. >> reporter: what can we eect to see at tonight's debate? look for immigration to be one of the major topics. it is important for marco

vulnerabilities and what donald trump likes to talk about. we could see the republican eld pounce on that. >> thank you, hallie. on the democratic side, bernie sanders holds a lead over hillary clinton in the granite state. the question is will hillary be able to come back for the primary? we have kristen welker with the latest. >> reporter: good morning, sheinelle. senator sanders has a 20-point lead over secretary clinton. she added events to her schedule today. she is bringing in an army of volunteers and telling supporters don't give up. with the democratic race growing more combative, hillary clinton and bernie sanders faced off at a party dinner. >> the only way we create the change that we need is through a political revolution. >> i will spend all my tomorrows doing everything i can to make your tomorrows bett. >> reporter: following a day

>> i want to say a word to the particularly young people, who are supporting senator sanders. i know you may not be for me now, but i am for you. >> reporter: meanwhile, bernie sanders rallied his faithful. painting clinton as the establish. ment ment ment. >> reporter: he has been hitting clinton for being entrenched with wall street and giving speeches t goldman sachs and clinton responding to andrea mitchell. >> are you sorry you did it? >> no, i'm not. i thought it was a good way to communicate what i was seeing in the world. >> reporter: accusing sanders of smearing her. >> i think the campaign he claims to be positive is engaged in artful smear and inuendo.

dole digit lead. supporters ready to put a win on the board. >> we are tired of playing the bibi game. we want to see things happenen >> reporter: clinton is calling in reinforcements hoping for a repeat. she was trailing barack obama here, but now she is looking to pull ahead. and during the debate this week, secretary clinton said she would look into the possibility of releasing thehe transcripts of paid speeches. so far the campaign has not released anything and officials tell me they are looking into it. meanwhile, today, sanders and clinton have a busy day of campaigning ahead. sheinelle. >> kristen welker, thank you.

and steve kornacki is here with us as well. good mororng to you. >> steve, let's start with you and let's start with donald trump. a commanding lead in new hampshire. some polls show him flipping nationally. he skipped the debate in iowa, but expected to be on the stage tonight. let's talk about what he has to do. is new hampshire a must-win moment for trump? >> i think it pretty much is. the 13--point lead, the eight day stretch is the most volatile eight days in american politics. you remember hillarylinton and barack obama, she was trailing at this point in new hampshire double digits. she came back and won on primary day. the cliche is a lot can happen in a short period of time in politics. that is true this week. we have seen marco rubio starting to move up significantly in the polls here. donald trump is maybe sliding back a bit. he is not growing. if you are donald trump and lost

it up with a loss in new hampshire, especially afr leading, it is really hard to see how he can jump start his campaign in later stages. he needs to put wins othe board steadily or seen to be beating expectations steadily to stay viable in the later contests. he has to come out with a win tuesday or he is in trouble. >> alice, steve mentioned marco rubio. up six points in a recent poll. youave the outsider candidates or so-called outsider candidates. ted cruz and donald trump gng after him tonight. you also have kasich and christie and governor bush as well. campaigns on life support. how big is the bull's-eye on marco rubio's back in the debate tonight in new hampshire? >> he is the one they havee to take down. he is cutting into the vote margin. especially for christie and kasich. it is make or break. he has a poor showing. he is probably out.

doesn't look good for him. kasich has put all resources in new hampshire. he does have the best ground game of anyone. he could surprise a bit. >> and steve, let's talk about bernie sanders for a moment. enjoying a commanding lead in new hampshire. w hampshire has been kind to the clintons. with bill clinton in the past. his campaign and hillary clinton in 2008. so is there any sense that support will perhaps turn out on tuesday and give clinton a bit of a surprise victory? >> i think there is an expectation this will tighten. you have polls showing between 20 or 30 points for sanders. most people think that will tighten. when you look at the clinton family history here, you think of hillary clinton obviously coming back and winning in 2008, but the other one was bill clinton in 1992. we rember new hampshire as the state that made him the comeback kid. what we forget is he actually lost new hampshire that night by

that is how he called himself the comeback kid. that is something to keep in mind. i think the clinton campaign would like to get out of new hampshire, they would like to drive the deficit into single digits. they like to close with some momentum. th like to be able to tell the media, look, bernie sanders is from next door. he is from vermont. a huge advantage there. there is not a huge advantage to being from vermont here in new hampshire. that is another story. they will say that. they want the media to put an asterisk on it. they want to say we beat expectations. >> elise, quickly. afafr new hampshir south carolina primary. hillary clinton doing very well in south carolina. do very well aroundd the south as well. after new hampshire, is there a path for bernie sanders? >> i think it just depends on how successful bernie is at expanding his message beyond non-white voters and if he can

so far, he hasast been successful. >> it is exciting to watch. elise and steve, thank you for talking with us this morning. several authorities are holding a michigan man who they say was plotting terrorist attacks in the name of isis. a federal complaint alleges the 22-year-old planned attacks on police and area church. he has been under investigation since may with agents following his gun purchases and social media accounts where he described acts of terrorism, including beheings. he is in custody on weapons and drug charges. excitement is building in san francisco for tomorrow's big game. security is tight for the tens of thousands who descended on san francisco for super bowl 50. among the fun, peyton manning is facing new questions about hgh use. we have nbc's miguel almaguer outside levi's stadium where the

good morng. >> reporter: good morning, sheinelle. security is super tight. if you are looking for a ticket for the big game, it is not impossible to get, but it is expensive. as the sun is set to rise in san francisco, soon more fanan will hit the streets. 1 million came here for the super bowl, but only 70,000 will go to the game. >> i would do anything to ge a ticket to the game. i'd love to. i can't afford it. >> reporter: a seat near the 50 yard line could set you bac $20,000. the prices are sky high in the upper deck. $3,000 and a pair of binoculars for section 411. >> the panthers don't go tohe super bowl every day. >> reporter: randall dropped nearly ,000 for his seats. >> what is a few thousand dollars in the sands of time? >> reporter: before the game, drama. the commissioner confirming the league is reviewing allegations

whether the superstar quarterback received hgh. human growth hormone. >> i don't see the investigation as any type of distraction for peyton manning. he is focused on the task at hand. >> repter: with manning denying use, his attorney says his wife received medication for her use only. ahead of its biggest night, the nfl trying to manage scams. hauled in $30 million of fake merchandise. >> we have seized over 440,000 items. >> reporter: this weekend, the roads and rails across the bay area are expected to be jammed. security here at levels never seen before. f-15s are in the air. a no-fly zone 32 miles wide. that is what 110 million people

for most of us the best seat in the house is nowhere near the stadium. seserity will tighten here over the next 24 hours. there are 60 agencies on the ground here. fbi is leading the charge. they say the super bowl will be among the safest to be anywhere@ in the country on sunday. sheinelle. >> miguel almaguer, thank you. dylan dreyer also in santa clara this morning with a check of the forecast. dylan, you're wearing a coat. >> i'm wearing a coat. it is freezing. 45 degrees here. i would have been more prepared for standing out in the snow. th's what i'm used to. i did not bring my hand warmers. we did have snowfall across new england yesterday. we saw this as a little engine that could kind of storm. the snow just dumped on rhode island and this is in warwick, rhode island and connecticut saw steady snow. we had higher elevations in connecticut andndassachusetts pick up nearly a foot of snow. we haven't really seen this driving conditions all that much
