joining me now, frank luntz. hi, frank, what did you find out? >> we got democrats here, 28 democrats. how many of you walked in her supporting hillary clinton? raise your hand. half of you. how many of you are still supporting hillary clinton? only a small percentage, so who won the debate? >> bernie sanders. >> for the people. >> strong, confident. >> direct. >> sincere. >> educated. >> smart. >> he's a socialist. >> he answered a question on being a socialist. you're nodding no. he's crowd of being a socialist. do you think this guy can win? do you? . >> i don't think he can. i don't think he can. he's a problem. i understand the appeal. but i don't think he can win. i think -- >> i think they're investing in a country looking for radical change. it's so deep that this could be the year someone like that gets in. >> i want to know the people home something. the highest moment of the debate, the one the group thought was incredible was about hillary clinton but wasn't delivered by hillary clinton but bernie sanders. listen. >> let me say someth

frank luntz is with us now from washington. good morning. >> good morning. >> let me begin with the -- with senator cruz. how well did that do? >> it did the best of anything that i have tested since i started doing debate testing in 1996. it got up to a 97, 98 out of 100. to put it into perspective, we had 26 people in our fox news group. 24 out of the 26 was giving him a perfect 100. now, he goes and he lists all the different questions. and i want to point out, he never looks down at his notes. he never has to refer to any text. he remembers every single question that every reporter asked, and people were stunned by that capability. but they reacted even more favorably to the fact that he said enough is enough, that these are biased questions. one more point, charlie. one of the biggest complaints is that the questions went too long. in several circumstances the questions were even longer than the responses that the candidates were allowed. >> clearly the candidates mixed it up with the moderators quite a bit last night. we

. >> here now with reaction, author, columnist david limba h limbaugh, frank luntz and scottie hughess with us. for full disclosure, i like both these guys. i certainly don't believe marco is a lightweight. i'm not sure of the origination of all of this. david, do you think this benefits either of them? >> well, no, i don't. i don't think it elevates rubio to get into this kind of contest. and i don't think it helps donald trump. what helps donald trump is to be himself in terms of attacking the establishment and attacking political correctness but not these personal attacks. he needs to curb himself on those not because they're untoward or because i think they're silly. i think the electorate will think it's silly and detracting from the main message which is obama and the establishment are destroying america. i will help resurrect america. but attacking people, his opponents or otherwise is a waste of time and i think hurts hip in the polls, actually. >> frank luntz, you've examined this. i think trump is at his best when he's leading the fight on immigration or when, you know, trum

. >> cbs news contributor frank luntz is with us. good morning. >> it's always unnecessary. donald trump finds the line and then crosses it and then jumps a mile beyond it. and it's part of the reason why kevin mccarthy went through what he did, why you see so much anger, so mucuc frustration and it's happening on both sisis of the political spectrum and the focus groups that i'm doing, it is tough to make it through the three hours, because people are just so mad. you know what? trump is talking to them. he really is relating to them. he is leading in iowa, new hampshire, south carolina, and nevada, we found in our work, the first four states. my advice to viewers, stop looking at the national polls and follow those first four states because, charlie, nobody has ever won those first states trump is ahead in all four. >> one more question about trump. is this a new strategy for him to attack democrats? is he going to focus more on democrats now than he is on republicans? >> ts hard to tellit is hard to tell. we have never seen a republican attack republicans the way he has a

. >> frank luntz has been friends with mccarthy for 20 years. y leader informally and been a political sounding board it for him. frank is with us from los angeles. good morning. >> good morning. >> have you talked to kevin mccarthy in the last 24 hours? >> yes, i have. and in watching what happened, i started working up on capitol hill in 1993. so more than 20 years. and it was confused up until the last three or four day. it is now chaotic. and what was to me really pathetic, the inability of house republicans to unite, has now become a poison. and those people listening today should understand that when members come out and say we weren't respected or appreciated, house republicans are not functioning this morning and they haven't functioned for some time because this is a segment there that simply believes that it is better to blow up the process than it is to fix it. it is better to pull people apart than it is to find some way to collaborate and cooperate and to work together. >> all right. i hear you on that. so are the other reasons why h

. >>> pollster frank luntz said they had the highest numbers. >> his focus group surprised and impressedtor's strong stance. >> he turned it around on them and showed them that they work for the democratic party. >> i came in here tonight as a ben carson fan. i'm a fan but i'm all about ted cruz. he's my man now. >> this is the first night i've been interested in ted cruz because i hadn't watched him. he was toward the evangelical crowd. now that he's talking economics more, he's much more on my radar. >> another candidate taking on the media, chris christie. the new jersey governor firing back as we know he does at what he called an unbelievable question. >> we have isis and al qaeda attacking us and we're talking about fantasy football? i feel like it was the moment for me that i just went, this is a clown show. it's just a complete mess and we're talking about issues that are completely ridiculous. >> there's much bigger issues to be talked about than fantasy football. >> like that description. big mess. >> he made an excellent point. i thought governor christie did a great job with t

. >> let's get back to frank luntz' focus group where frank just brought up that word.farland just used socialist. >> in a word to describe bernie sanders. >> for the people. >> strong. >> direct. >> sincere. >> powerful. >> educatied. >> smart. >> he actually answered the question about being a socialist, i know you're nodding your head no, do you really think that bernie sanders can win? >> i don't think he can. i understand the appeal of his proposal. but i don't think he can win. i think -- >> i think the unrest in the country regarding looking for radical change to some of the problems we have been facing is so deep that this could be the year that somebody like that gets in. >> casey hunt, bernie sanders has appeal that is -- that defies what we think -- what some of us thought we were watching in that debate. >> that is right, i think it may be part of the reason why you saw donald trump attack bernie sanders on instagram today as being weak. words like strong and powerful being used. i do think partly to jonathan's point, facebook like do not make votes like. ju

. >>> you know there's nothing better than watching frank luntz get mead reaction from folks but it's accurate, and it is brilliantly executed. he joins us right now and, frank, was intrigued by the immediate response a lot of voters got in those who were there just sort of gauging the reaction to this debate, and the marco rubio scored well. before i -- this was the one that intrigued me and the response. and then talk about it. >> in 2008, barack obama missed 60 or on asker of business votes and the same newspaper endorsed him again so much this is another example of the double standard that exists between the mainstream media and the conservatives -- [applause] >> the senate, is it like a french work week? get three days you have to show up? you can campaign. or just resign and let someone else take the job. >> know how many votes john mccain missed i don't remember you ever klaining about mccain's vote record. this only reason why you're doing it now is because we're running for the same position and someone convince outside attack me will help you. here's the bottom line, my camp

>> as frank luntz reported last night, that one section with cruz, luntz said he never seen a score thatigh. he said that 26 of the 28 people on dials had to have given cruz 100 out of 100 for it to be that high. he never in his entire career seen that. so in a sense you have to say cruz had an amazing night. rubio's great strength which comes up with every single debate, he is very likeable. and in television, as ronald reagan understood, and walter mondale and jimmy carter didn't, being likeable is about 80% of the business. i mean, listen to your words after they decide they like you. andrea: yeah. >> i think rubio has enormous latent advantages and i think odds reasonably high he will be on a ticket. andrea: who would you like to have a beer or eat a pot brownie as -- sandra: i didn't get what their plans were to grow economy. talking about winners and losers, the american voter who was promised a debate on economy, your money, jobs and candidates were never given a chance to go there. fox business, i will be moderating next gop debate and i will actually ask questions those importan

. >> cbs news contributor frank li luntz is here.ood morning. >> it's part of the reason why kevin mccarthy went through what he did. it's anger and frustration. in the focus groups i'm doing, it's tough to make it through the three hours because people are so pissed off. trump is talking to them. he really is relating to them. we've found he's leading in iowa, new hampshire, south carolina, and nevada, the first four states. my advice to viewers, stop looking at the national polls. follow those first four states. charlie, nobody has ever won those four states and not won the nomination. >> is this the new strategy, for him to attack democrats? will he focus more on democrats now, than he is on republicans? >> it's hard to tell. we've never seen a republican attack other republicans the way he has. until that clip we showed, he's basically left hillary clinton alone. it doesn't seem to bother other republicans. when we show republicans clips of him ripping into other republican candidates, they laugh. >> how much someday difference t

we saw louie gomart talking with frank luntz, a gop pollster to listen to what hillary has to say. you might hear today about cables, requests for security that came from the ambassador. "the washington post" notes this, that cables like all of those sent from diplomatic posts abroad were addressed to the secretary of state. that cable, clinton said at the 2013 house hearing, did not come to my attention. i have made it very clear that the security cables did not come to my attention or above the assistant secretary level. i am not aware of anyone within my office, within the secretary's office, having seen the cable. the state department she said received 1.43 million diplomatic messages a year. they're all addressed to me, she said. they do not all come to me. daniel, an independent, florida. >> carol: tha . >> caller: thank you for taking my call. i have a comment and then a question. your last guest, i cannot remember his name, i'm sorry. >> lanny davis. >> caller: he was talking about the cost and the republicans should pay for it. $4.6 million is what i believe has been spent

. >> frank luntz, how long have you been dial testing debates and focus groups?started this in 1996 and i think we've done about 800 political dial sessions between 1996 and now. >> and the best line ever came last night. in other words, the best tested line was ted cruz just taking down cnbc and the moderators and the media. explain. >> well, it's not only that it did so well. i went back and looked at the tape. ted cruz can name what every single person had said in the debate, what question had gone to each one of the candidates without using notes. he specified what the moderators were doing and our group was so outraged. they were waiting for someone to point a bright light at this. not only did cruz capture it, but when the moderators tried to interrupt him, he wouldn't give them the chance. >> let's -- you dial -- let's roll the tape. >> perfect. >> the questions that have been asked so far in this debate illustrate why the american people don't trust the media. [ cheers and applause ] this is not a cage match. and you look at the questions, donald trump ar

he's also the chief counsel for the american city of law and justice, jay sekulow and pollster frank luntz. the truth is four americans did die. and ambassador stevens requested security and it was denied by the state department on numerous occasions before the attack. the stand-down order was given during the attack, then a big manufactured lie was given after the attack. so there was legitimate reason from the get-go, but even with that said, the republican leadership resisted until when, may of 2014. >> yeah. so and what happens, of course, is bad news doesn't get better with time. and this was a horrific incident. the congress -- and i think trey gowdy has done a very good job here. i don't blame him at all, but the lack of time -- whenever you've got a case and there's now a two-year gap or three-year gap between the incident when you're actually having hearings that actually count, what happens? the nonrelease of the e-mails, the missing e-mails, the difficulty of the committee getting the data so this lack of time between the very beginning of when this inquiry should have started r

pollster frank luntz said the cruz sound bite you played at the top. he said that was best line ever charted at primary debate. rubio also appeared to get upper hand with jeb bush in an argument about rubio's lagging senate attendance. however rubio pretty much downplayed his performance a little bit this morning, potentially setting expectations for our debate coming up in two weeks. >> this is part of a long process. there have been two other debates. we felt good about those too. we felt good about this one. we'll work for the next one hosted by this network or business network. reporter: dagen, he was asked about his performance last night and status of his campaign. he basically laughed off assertion he in trouble. didn't want to go there at all. instead he said quote, we're still in october. back to you. dagen: thank you so much, blake. blake burman, covering the debates for us. let's go to ford and chuck. gentlemen, i want to talk to you about the following things. so a lot of the wins blake was talking about, wins that were scored, how lasting

it's the highest frank luntz has ever seen in a focus group. watch this. >> i think the unintended consequences show the media's true colors. by the end of this i thought they were all united as candidates. they weren't fighting with each other which is exactly what the media wanted them to do. it actually turned out well. >> a back firing of sorts. >> oops. >> cnbc is the huge loser. >> when you have the candidates on stage and marco rubio fighting back when they personally attack him about his own finances. ben carson, after rounds of applause after he was personally attacked. they say, hey, they know. he actually said the audience knows what we're trying to say. >> thanks for listening. >> the winners are the republicans linking arms and unifying against that bias and call them out. >> except for there were a few moments of turbulence and john roberts pointed them out. one is we did not show jeb bush and senator marco rubio. that's coming up shortly. it was so interesting. both were prepared to unload on each other. both camps realized one c

frank luntz is now with us from washington. let us begin with senator cruz.e. >> it did as well as debate testing since 1976. it go 98 out of 100. we had 26 people in our fox news group. 24 out of 26 was giving him a perfect 100. he goes and he listses all the different questions. he never looks down at his notes. he never has to refer to any text, he remembers every single question that every reporter asked, and people were stunned by that capability. but people reacted to when he said enough is enough, these are biassed questions. one of the biggest complaints was the equestions went too long. in several circumstances the questions were even longer than the responses that the candidates with were allowed. >> we also saw some chris christie telling it like it is. let's take a look at that moment and see what that showed on the dial tab. >> there's no evidence that they can fix anything in washington, d.c. >> what should we do? >> we should be investing in all types of government. >> do you want me to answer? or do you want to answer? because i got to tell yo

joining me now, frnk luntz. frank, good to see you s. that possible? would he possibly have knowledge of the f.b.i.'s investigation that might lead him to look at these poll numbers in which he has more than double his numberings in most of them and say i know something you don't know. >> he shouldn't. but it is certainly possible in this white house. we've seen things that we believed never could have happened. this man has wanted to be president since 18985. he had a very strong relationship with his son. the vice president has always thought of this as his mission and his purpose. he's not a traditional politician. he says what he means and means what he says. he wears his heart on his sleeve. so it's not necessarily connected. he's got to make a declaration within the next few days. this is a sound byte talking about how closely he works with our current president. >> i spend between, depending on the season, four and seven hours a day every single day with the president. i attend every meeting the president has, at his request. >> oh, wait. . no.
