polls. take a look at these head-to-head match-ups also from today's nbc news poll. hillary clinton beating donald trump by ten points, but joe biden beating him by more than 20 points. clinton just barely leading jeb bush, 45-44. biden clobbering him by eight points. republican ben carson actually beating hillary clinton in a general election trial but biden coming out eight points ahead of carson. carly fiorina besting clinton by a point. biden besting fiorina by six. just a few months ago the idea that hillary clinton would be just barely beating a socialist from vermont in the democratic primary, that she would be doing worse, substantially worse in some cases in head-to-head match-ups than someone who isn't even in the race, that idea just a few months ago was inconceivable. now, let's be fair. there is good reason to think that joe biden's strong poll numbers right now are a lot like hillary clinton's six months ago. joe biden right now is largely above the political fray. he is not actually in the campaign. he's been getting great press. all of this clearly un

and we continue to go up in the nbc poll i think we went from 26 to 29. we're going up very strongly in the polls. they don't know what to do about it. i've built a great company. you'll see that on "60 minutes" last night. a phenomenal company with very little debt, tremendous cash flow. i'm funding my own campaign. guys like rubio, he desperately needs money. ask the car dealer in florida. ask the people that support him. and a guy like rubio -- and others. i don't want to single him out. you're singling him out. but they're largely controlled by their donors, the special interests, and frankly, more than anybody else, lobbyists. i've turned down millions and millions of dollars from lobbyists and special interests because it's not the right thing. it's just not right. and that seems to be resonate i ing. thank you. thank you.
