three-term member of congress from maryland, in your view, actually has a fighting shot at the democratic nomination is really showing up in iowa and exceeding expectations in iowa? >> yes. i mean, iowa and new hampshire play very unique role in presidential politics, as we all know. what they really do is, they find people that the rest of the country may not be focusing on, because they have so many opportunities to meet them face-to-face. if we had kind of a national primary, then, you know, the nalyonal media would effecti be choosing our president. >> so, what is the number-one issue you're hearingiowa, new hampshire primary and caucus voters? >> so, beating trump is always the number-one issue. >> mm. >> but if you talk about a specific issue, it's healthcare. >> okay. we're gonna get to healthcare 'cause there's a lott to do with hare, but just in terms of biography, as people are getting to know you -- right? there's a field of 23-us candidates. you're a businessman. i mean, this is one of the differentiating features between you and the field... >>..es. >>t not between you and the current p

the wagering site ranks her most likely to win the nomination, higher than any other democrat. interestingly, biden and elizabeth warren have an equal shot winning the anonymous but biden a higher promise of becoming president. so all eyes will be on center stage where biden will be sandwiched between harris and booker. but there is this. this week is the last dance for certain of the democratic contenders. the rules for the next debates in september are more demanding. to participate in tuesday and wednesday's debates here on cnn, candidates needed 65,000 unique donors in at least 20 states including at least 200 donors in each state. or a candidate must have earned at least 1% polling average in three separate surveys. but the rules for the third round of debates in september are much more demanding in terms of polling data and donors. so biden best not ignore what might come from the fringes. on his far left will be new york city mayor bill de blasio. and to his center right were kirsten ji kirsten gillibrand. kamala harris proved the best way to raise her is try to get the

who are democrats going to nominate to run against president trump. just the last few hours, a brand new poll on the state of the democratic race heading into this second debate this week. here you go. this is a quinnipiac national poll and there is joe biden sitting there at 34%. elizabeth warren behind him by nearly 20 points, but in second place in this poll, 15%. kamala harris, remember, in that last debate it was kamala harris who got the surge afterwards. it was biden who took the hit afterwards. now things have settled down in the last few weeks. as i say, we're getting ready to go to that second debate and it looks a lot like it did heading into the first debate. kamala harris did get a bit of an uptick but maybe not as much as he initially thought. we will see what happens on that stage in the second debate and what the fallout is. second, there is that question. we talk about race with the president's attacks and talk about race inside the democratic contest for president. joe biden among white voters, first place, 32%. but among black voter

we're getting our first clear look at where the race for the democratic presidential nomination actually stands and where the candidates stand against president trump. here are our first head-to-head matchups of the 2020 race in our new nbc news/"wall street journal" poll of registered voters. we have joe biden leading president trump 51-42. that's a healthy nine-point edge outside the margin. we have bernie sanders with a healthy lead sitting at 50% to president trump's 43. going down the line, elizabeth warren up five but under 50, 48-43. kamala harris is essentially tied with mr. trump. holding a one-point edge, 45-44. as you can see there, while the democratic numbers do change depending on the candidate, president trump's numbers essentially match his job approval rating, which in this poll is right in line where with he's been at 45%. in the democratic race for the nomination, joe biden is still on top despite his shaky debate performance followed by a surging elizabeth warren. kamala harris, bernie sanders, and pete buttigieg round out the top tier. and yes, ladies and gentlemen,
