i am a huge marco fan.ulate. >> i am so proud of his enthusiasm of his e. >> i am a huge marco plan. >> i am marco rubio and i approve this message. stuart: i thought that was an add for jeb bush, it is an ad for marco rubio. using jeb bush's own words against jeb bush. liz: that is brilliant. stuart: do you think it works? liz: i think it works, and makes jeb job think twice. stuart: i don't know what i was watching. >> it is little bitly savvy, painting jeb bush as a hypocrite for attacking marco rubio. i will be listening for tonight is, jeb bush going to stop these attacks and start to present his ideas. he one candidate who fought long and hard about a lot of the big issues facing the nation. if you ask him about anything, he has an answer. stuart: donald trump has attacked everyone, and beaten back almost all of them. liz: for decade. >> stop the circular firing squad talk about the ideas, i have great confidence that moderates tonight will get to a lot of them. stuart: only time will tell. liz: right

marco rubio is on the rise. we are moving into the stage of the race where the candidates are conscious of it. the person who benefits by ben carson going down in the race is ted cruz who doesn't have much room to grow outside of carson coming down. trump is effective when he's fighting from his right to his left against these establishment candidates. you will see him tonight. two big departures from republican orthodoxy will challenge interests and you will hear him challenge the free trade deals. most of the establishment republicans on the stage, ardent free traders. trump will dekraai the trade deals, talk about repealing nafta. marco rubio tonight is in the middle of the action. these previous debates he's been like a supporting actor. really strong performances, got people's attention. but he comes into this and some degree the star of show. once again jeb bush's campaign is telegraphed the punches they will throw at marco rubio. in debates, like in boxing, most knock outs come on the counter punch. you s

jeb went at him and marco swatted him away. it was -- i have a feeling we'll remember as one of those big moments of the primary. >> dickerson: now, the comparisons to barack obama are happening i mentioned to senator rubio that the jeb bush campaign called him the republican obama. do you think it matters tha he doesn't have any experience or does debate moment like that show leadership and so lack in your career doesn't matter? >> i don't think it matter if you look at america's presidents you'll be hard pressed to draw any linear connection between the amount of experience they had and how successful they were. i think it does pose problem for marco rubio that in 2008 republicans did make some. >> rose: pointed argument about barack obama had no experience, continued. rubio lot of ways adopting in 2008 to rebut the claims that he didn't have enough experience. eventually this is going to come to a head. eventually conservatives will say, wait a sec, just seven years ago we said the exact opposite that rubio is saying, are we

dagen: from responding to marco rubio's campaign, quote, marco rubio is a total white way i would notun one of my smaller companies. highly underrated politician. tune in at 7:00 p.m. and 9::00 p.m. for the republican presidential debate. moderated by a host of this program, maria bartiroma. turning to markets after yesterday's 2 the point drop for the dow that sent the blue chips into the ran for the year, futures showing lower open. we have some skittishness in those losses, futures off by 40 points. in europe the early action is showing across the board, the selling seems to be contained. in asia, losses across the board, biggest losers the hang seng and kospi, eking out a tiny gain. the leader of an isis related terror group claimed responsibility for the bombing of a russian airliner over the sinai peninsula had been killed overnight according to egypt's interior ministry. candidates for the showdown at tonight's big republican debate, blake berman live outside in milwaukee, wisconsin. >> good morning. the ongoing feud that has escalated in the last couple weeks between donald tr

when it comes to marco rubio, one thing we saw in the last one was the drama between jeb bush and marcoubio. we didn't see them go after one another. they each stuck to what they wanted to talk about. vis have a i have their policy and proposal and plans and pretended like the other was not on the stage. >> dana bash. thank you for that. >> the winner is, let's discuss who was on top. jeremy diamond, live from our washington bur ro, jeremy, who do you think had the biggest night? >> well, i think marco rubio had a great in a moment in every single answer. every question, he would pivot to his personal story which is the story of the american dream of being the son of immigrants, imgrant parents and kind of moving from, you know, low, you know, status to kind of coming in, becoming a senator and running for president now. he was able to kind of die that into every question, while also pivoting to attacking the democrats and you know overall just really hitting all of the right notes. >> it was interesting to me, jeremy, in addition to control and what message he would get involved. he wa

and marco rubio unique lie brings that. interestly enough about marco, the more people hear him, the more they like him. that's why they are going up in the polls right now with marco rubio's numbers. because he's had a chance to cut through the multiple candidates on that stage. when people hear marco rubio, they detect personal genuineness, his sincerity, his command of the issues and his passion for american exceptionalism in this country as well as understanding the plight of working families in this country. >> and finally, senator, do you think he needs to answer the questions about the credit card, the republican party credit card that he apparently acknowledges there was some confusion with his personal charges? >> well, this is the example of the attacks against marco now that he's rising in the polls. that was litigated in the 2010 election. he answered it in his book and has been very forthcoming. he'll release more of the records to ensure that the american people can see what's happened there. but he paid for h

i am a huge marco fan.e has the fortitude to be a good president. >> i am so proud of his high-voltage energy, enthusiasm, eloquence. >> i am marco rubio, and i approve this message. campbell: ok. so when it comes to bush versus rubio, rubio versus the world, what are your thoughts? mark: pre-paleo jeb makes me never want to eat pizza again. bush was hurt by having his brother in his head, and now he has rubio in his head. that video is devastating. i think jeb bush tonight, he just has to show people why he would be a great president. as for rubio, he is the best political talent on the stage. if he has another good debate, he will solidify his hold. campbell: what is frustrating about the potential for bush to go after rubio is that a lot of people who supported bush from the beginning were not with him because he was a bush, but they knew he was smart about policy issues and they believed he would be a good president. this should be the perfect opportunity. mark: the thing about both camps is they are su

now candidates train eyes on marco rubio.cussion and how he has so far avoided moments of tension. welcome back to "early start." i'm john berman. >> i'm christine romans. 31 minutes past the hour. plenty of tension here. breaking news. a new military offensive launched against isis. kurdish peshmerga forces aimed to recapture the town of sinjar. it is being called operation free sinjar. the mountain is a key link between who halves of the isis so-called self described caliphate. the city of mosul and the lands isis holds in syria. senior correspondent nick paton walsh joins us by phone outside sinjar. this is a new strategy here. what's the latest? >> reporter: at this stage, we are hear extraordinary blasts in the last 20 minutes. the direction of the town of sinjar is creating a strain. this is the main route. now, there appears to have been some advantage here. we cannot say exactly where we are because of the conditions as we agreed to be with the peshmerga forces as they advance. we have seen intense fighting along the

how about marco rubio? we say, keep hitting doubles. well, he probably had a home run moment in the last debate, when he and jeb bush squared off over his voting record in the senate. but the first debates have been solid performances each time from rubio, each time winning attention and winning notice from a few more republicans and a few more media people. you keep doing that and you end up with a good batting average. ted cruz, we say the key for him is to think before bouncing. what do we mean by that? he went after the moderators to great effect in that debate a couple weeks ago, but tonight this is the fox business network. a lot of republicans are more comfortable with shows that are on fox or on fox business. if ted cruz wants to replicate that moment and go after the moderators, maybe he should be careful, might get a different reception from republicans. and chris christie, one candidate who's not on the big sta stage tonight, chris christie did not have high enough polling numbers. carly fiorina went from the kid's table to t

how many of you thought marco rubio? now, there is one significant segment, megyn, early in the debate. he performed well, let's take a look. >> i don't know why we have stagmatized vocational education. welders make more money than philosophers. we need more weldervpp'd less philosophers. to do that, if we do this, if we do this, we'll be able to increase wages for millions of americans. >> so what was it about marco rubio so positive? >> he is very eloquent. >> passionate. >> he's young. >> very articulate. >> slick. >> charisma. >> strong, fresh. >> he'sÑi not my candidate. >> you said inspirational. how old are you? >> 19. >> this is your first vote? >> yes. >> why rubio? i . >> he has a tax plan that is willing to help families. that is important to him and the vision for this new america. >> how many of you switched votes? how many of you supported a different candidate? why did you switch? >> i switched because i went from carson to rubio during this debate because i liked his vision for america. i liked that he w

coming up, we talked to marco rubio's man in wisconsin. ♪ campbell: it is a big night for marco rubiog fan is here with us now, congressman sean duffy. how are you feeling? a lot of momentum around your guy. >> what is nice with marco rubio is when he does a debate, he is so articulate. when people go after him, he is the to knock it out of park. he touches the hearts of the american people. lookingan voters are for someone who can articulate in a way that resonates. mark: do you see a leader that is ready to be president? a lot of people see a future leader, but still too young. >> i do not know if that is the case. people look at how qualified they are. how well they can articulate policy. if you are talking about what is happening with russia and isis, probably the most articulate guy on the stage with foreign policy. when you look at a leader, you do not look at how much gray hair they have. you look for someone who can drive a message, talk about the big idea. marco does that better than anybody. great leaders build great teams. people that are smart on issues. they listen to goo

amy: let's talk about marco rubio.wrote an extensive piece in politico, "prodigal son: marco rubio's complicated cuban legacy." tell us who he is and does your version differ from what he says? up inl, marco rubio grew cuban miami. again, he also had a contested family narrative. both men have been challenged in the media about the veracity of their accounts because, of course, both men want to be known as families of anti-castro , anti-castro cubans, which is the leading demographic traditionally in south florida. and for many years, marco rubio said his family came to america to flee castro. but in fact, his parents actually came in may of 1956. it is true they were fleeing the tyrants, but the tyrant they were fleeing in 1956 could not have been fidel castro. it would be batista. in fact, in 1959 after the rebels did take control, rubio's beloved grandfather went back to cuba, lived and worked in cuba for a government ministry for one or two years and his mother went back on four different occasions. and then they m

but when it comes to marco rubio, one thing missing was the drama between jeb bush and marco rubio. we didn't see them go after one another. they each stuck to what they wanted to talk about. vis-a-vis their policies, their proposals and plans, actually pretended like the other wasn't even on the stage. john, christine. >> all right, dana bash in milwaukee. let's talk about who came out on top. who did what they needed to do. joining us, jeremy diamond, live in our walk bureau. i want to start at the top of the polls. ben carson has been lead, he's out front there, but on stage, heats perfectly happy to take a back seat. he had one moment that got a round of applause, definitely sort of addressed the media questions about comments he's made about his own past. we'll listen to that. >> well, first of all, thank you for not asking me what i said in the 10th grade. i appreciate that. [ applause ] >> but. >> i'll forget that follow-up this. >> the fact of the matter is, you know, we should vet all candidates. i have no problem with being vetted. but i do have a problem is being lied abo

for marco, it's a problem. >> for marco, put the numbers back up.is where they know you the best and you are losing by 21 points, the problem with states like this, we focus on iowa and new hampshire so much. once you get out, there a lot of winner take all states like this. suddenly you are donald trump and up by 21 points. you win it by one point. marco, jeb, they have been thinking all along they will take all the votes. no. it's going to be hard for them. even 90 days out. they know him. the cake is baked. they know him. >> it's amazing to listen to the framing. if they were another candidate, candidate x up by 20 points on the sitting senator and 30 points by the former governor and saying this was a run away, there was something about people that can't go there yet. maybe it will. the truth is donald trump is in the new hampshire poll and that is getting closer. he will have a couple of dogfights on his hands before he turns to south carolina before he gets to florida. >> we will get to that in a moment. this florida poll comes as marco rubio'

the fact that marco rubio understands foreign policy.en a leader when it comes to issues like north korea, the middle east. he's been a champion for everyday americans who are struggling -- jenna: right. but even you like the broncos, we were talking a little bit about that on set. even gifted athletes have to practice their craft, and they practice it because they prove to the coaches that when a big game hits, they're going to be able to perform. the same can apply to gifted leaders as well. they have to practice their craft and move people and show evidence that when the big game comes, they're going to be able to perform in that position. and the critics of marco rubio say, listen, he may stand for some good policy points, but he hasn't passed legislation, he hasn't proven that he can get things through government. and, therefore, maybe he needs a little bit more practice. what do you think of that? >> well, look, marco rubio served as speaker of the house of one of the most populace states in our nation. marco rubio was never suppos

marco rubio is one of them. that is where trump decided to hit him the hardest on questions about finances from way back when marco rubio was in the statehouse with the credit card he used. >> marco rubio has a disaster on his finances. he has a disaster on his credit cards. when you check his credit cards, take a look at what he's done with the republican party when he had access. what he had to put back in and whether or not something should have happened. >> reporter: as for rubio, he insists this is a non issue. he will release the credit card statements from back when he was in the statehouse to prove he did not use the republican party's credit card or money. he paid everything that he spent on his personal expenses himself. he had this to say to me in response to donald trump. >> that's donald being donald. whenever there is a bad poll, he gets weird. he doesn't know what he is talking about. this was an american express card. if there were personal expenses, i paid them directly to american express. >> r

and marco rubio will, too. i think they will be really diverse complete spectrum of what you're going to see tonight on numbers. >> you like it because you love the numbers and you love the economy and talking about the free market. dana, who needs to do what tonight? >> they all need to start showing that they could be commander-in-chief and also that they have command of the economy beyond rhetoric. i would say this is a no-talking points zone. as soon as i hear that, i would tune out. i also would tune out if i hear too many specifics on numbers. because the way that the ear hears things, you start to tune out. i think the most important thing for any of the candidates is to be able to show that they understand the problems of people like me, or you at home, the viewer. people are wondering if you have what it takes to understand the economy and if you have some proposals to move it forward. it's a little bit of a tougher sell on the economy now than in the past eight years because the unemployment rate is s

marco rubio handled himself well. don't i don't agree with him but he knows his national security issues very well. everybody responds to having a stronger america and cutting defense is against for the most part republican values. >> i agree with nomiki. he had a firm grasp of the issues. he faced the foreign policy in reality in the exchange with rand paul. marco rubio recognized that and stated that. >> his stance has not changed. >> immigration, winner? >> immigration winner. >> kasich. so many faces. >> kasich. the interesting thing about kasich is he is very reasonable. he can take an issue that may be controversial and he can talk about it whether he's talking about the economy something that a unpopular. he's able to rebut donald trump. >> do you think he sounded reasonable? that's the opposite of what a lot of people are saying. a lot are saying he was boisterous and he came off as argumentative and mean. >> he also explained controversial policies from the economy to battling it out with donald trump. he wan

marco rubio rises in republican race. house elects the any speaker, paul rya we'll talk to them both. after senator rubio's strong performance in last week's debate, how does he fight his way to the top in a pack still dominated by outsiders. >> i just don't believe anyone else running who has better understanding of the issues before us now than i do. >> and as wisconsin congress han paul ryan takes the gavel as speaker of the house, he says he'll run things differently. >> have been timid too long. we have to offer. >> dickerson: will he break gridlock on capitol hill? also talk to the number two democrat in the house, steny hoyer. and get the latest on the russian plane that crashed in egypt and killed 224. plus, we'll have roundtable to analyze all the news it's all ahead on "face the nation." good morning, welcome to "face the nation" i'm john dickerson. we've got lot of political news to get to but we start with an update on what caused a russian airliner bound for st. petersburg from egypt carrying more than 200 pa

i ask you can marco rubio's will continue or will donald trump attack and slow marco rubio's to roll? >> i don't see trump's at tax making a huge dent in marco rubio's poll numbers. this is a national poll, that is not how we elect or nominate presidential nominees, you go through iowa and new hampshire and look at those polls, marco rubio's favorability is higher, he is the second choice of a lot of voters, it is a different ball game. it is a feeling with evangelical voters in iowa and women voters especially in new hampshire. arthel: you get the final word, donald trump starts his first radio ad campaign in new hampshire, iowa and south carolina, one version, trump speaking, the other version is a female voice. to try to get more support from females, going ahead to you. >> i think so. i agree that the most likely nominee in my opinion is marco rubio but i would not be so quick to say trump has a feeling anywhere yet. he is the master brand, he reinvents himself and some how reverses his negative numbers as he did from when he began the campaign to now. i wouldn't throw that possib

the other person's marco rubio.ch as he is not engaged in heavy contact with anybody at this point, is he a potential player, in your view? john: in his profile on paper, rubio has always looked like a potentially strong republican nominee. but you look at donald trump and marco rubio, try to put them in a ring together and say who is going to win that fight, it's hard for me to muster the conviction to say marco rubio going to win that battle. mark: when trump has said outrageous things and rubio has been asked about it, he laughs it off in a way that seems genuine. others try to laugh it off but it looks like acting. the staff said laugh it off. rubio actually laughs it off. i think there is a potential strength there. if the establishment turns to him i think he may not be rattled and may be able to make light of donald trump as a genuine player. john: all of these people are trying to appear like the candidate of strength on foreign policy. to republican voters by that? i just don't know if that's a sell he will

first, marco rubio versus jeb bush. once friends, rubio even called bush a mentor, but when bush was asked about a florida newspaper's op-ed calling rubio to resign, all that good will, it went out the window. it's a long clip, but definitely worth the listen. >>jeb: i'm a constituent of the senator and i helped him and, and i expected that he would do constituent service which means that he shows up to work. he got endorsed by the sun sentinel because he was the most talented guy in the field. he's a gifted politician. but marco, when you signed up for this, this was a 6-year term and you should be showin' up to work. i mean, literally the senate, what is it, like a french work week? you get like three days where you have to show up? (chuckling) >>jeb: you can campaign or just resign and let someone else take the job. there are a lot of people livin' paycheck to paycheck in florida as well. they're looking for a senator that will fight for them each and every day. >>marco: i get to respond, right? >>30 seconds. (clappi

i like marco. he's a great guy.here are a lot of political observers saying that and i think that's certainly a plausible outcome. >> reporter: and ted cruz last night giving a few big hints that he's already looking forward to that potential matchup between the two, really previewing lines of attack that he's just lining up against rubio when and if the rest of the field is widdled down. >> sunlen, thank you. you have the debate performance of marco rubio and ted cruz. meantime, the big question is, what about jeb bush? his town hall is going to begin in a few minutes. athena jones is live in iowa. does the bush camp think that jeb saved his candidacy last night or not? >> reporter: both jeb bush and his campaign feel he did well. we sue a very confident jeb bush. he was in good spirits. he liked having the opportunity to spend a little more time answering those questions, delving more in to policy. but he also says he's going to continue to get better. they were all pleased with his performance. they say he's look

and that's i didn't endorse marco rubio.ssues we hear about today are issues that were litigated during his 2010 campaign. the reason these attacks are happening on marco rubio because he's rising in the polls. hillary clinton knows marco rubio is the greatest threat to her not being the next president of the united state. trish: you know, senator, in some ways i wonder if he could turn this story on its heels in which he could say, look, i struggle like all of you. i've got a mortgage to pay, and we did see he had some trouble for hurry with his mortgage. i've got things to buy for the kids. it's challenging, i thought it, i feel your pain. in a way that frankly hillary clinton can't possibly relate to it, at least not in recent history. >> well, nobody understands the challenges of working families in this country like marco rubio does. he's the son of cuban immigrants. his dad all of the bartender, his mom was a housekeeper at a motel and also stocked shelves at kmart on night shift. so marco rubio understands the challen

that is the kind of guy marco is. when trump goes after him personal taxes and spending, raise your hand if you're not living from paycheck to paycheck or credit card or took out retirement to pie a home or buy something to pay for your kids college education. that is non-starter. >> he could spin that on his heels, sell that, i get it. >> he is only guy who is really one of us. >> going to say to the hillary comparison, when she has to say over and over again, i'm a normal person i think when you look at marco rubio, just saying, but you know, when you call out sallie mae in a debate, people can relate. trish: don't go anywhere. we have a lot more to talk about. former senator brown and ebony williams will stick around. hillary clinton is pretty quick to tout the war on women but apparently has no problem when an audience members violent comment are made about carly fiorina. in fact, she actually laughs. watch this. >> every time i see her on tv i want to reach through and strangle her. [laughter] you know, i know th

marco rubio comes off as a happy warrior. you know, he made a joke about his book and how it's on sale as a paperback. he made reference to his mother and how he's against anything that harms his mother. i think that gave people a lightness about him in a positive feeling about him as opposed to other candidates that are more like skulls. >> why is ted cruz someone to watch here not just based on debate performance but going forward? >> watch ted cruz. he's been shrewd in his strategy out there. he's deliberately contrasting himself in a subtle way with rubios, happy warrior thing. he's trying to channel conservative anger. he's being very specific in trying to tag evangelical voters. it's why you see him rising in the polls. you may end up with a race that pits a cruz against more of a rubio type candidate who is more of the big tent person. >> i think what we're seeing is that rubio and cruz seem to be the two candidates there that have a plan going forward. they have an idea of who they want to appeal to and how they want

he thinks it could come down to he and marco rubio. he is telegraphing a few lines of attack that he is ready to wage against marco rubio in the debate on tuesday night. this potentially sets up a battle between the two. john and christine. >>> jeb bush taking on marco rubio as he campaigns in iowa. he renewed his earlier criticism of the poor attendance record in the senate. bush calling himself a better bet than the first term florida senator. >> are we going to nominate someone who has a proven conservative record? 32 years in business and eight years as governor? >> big chunk of the republican field in iowa campaigning today. donald trump, carly fiorina and chris christie and rand paul have events in the hawkeye states. >>> 46-year-old linwood lambert died in custody steps from the entrance from the emergency room in the hospital. lambert never got the help he needed on the morning he died. now the video surfaced as his family heads to court today seeking a $25 million judgment against police in south boston, virginia. let's get mo

we will be back in 60 seconds. ♪ mark: marco rubio -- john: marco rubio has gone to the darling frontunner and many in the establishment -- he departed the theater last although wered, did glimpse a few of the ways his rivals may try to gun him down in the future. let's start with ted cruz, who mentioned rubio's name, and was clearly thinking of him on immigration. >> the democrats are laughing, because if republicans joined democrats as the party of amnesty, we will lose. [cheering] know, i understand that when the mainstream media covers immigration, it doesn't see it as an economic issue, but i can tell you, for millions of americans at home watching this, it is a very personal economic issue. i will say that the politics of it will be very different if a bunch of lawyers are bankers were crossing the rio grande. john: two biggest questions right now -- how vulnerable is rubio, who will come after rubio, and how well he defended himself. he will take it from all 5 -- democrats will say he flip-flopped. the republicans will say he was always for conference of reform. how vulnerable

ben carson or marco rubio. can he use tonight to forge for good his reputation as a tough guy, ready to fight for america or lose it as the street corner bully against the skinny kid on the block. nbc's chris jansing in milwaukee tonight. that's the debate site. chris, that to me, the guy had so much power coming out, using the immigration issue as an economic national issue, if you will. and he got caught up in "saturday night live" and all this other nonsense. can he get back on track, where he might be able to win this thing? >> reporter: well, here's the thing. this is what his people have been waiting for. they say this plays to his sweet spot, right? the economy. you're right, though, what the question is. does this devolve in some people's opinion, into fights between ben carson and donald trump about ben carson's personal history? we've certainly seen in the past week, he's been going after carson. carson's people, their attitude is, bring it on. first of all, it fired up their candidate. second of all,

i think marco is highly overrated.rtainly lives above his means, there's no question about that. look at his credit card.

now you have some major donors talking with marco rubio. it is clear that something is not aligning here. what do you see as the major problem? >> well, i don't see a major problem. >> you don't see the 7% is a problem for him in his own state? >> well, a recent "new york times" poll said -- they polled republican primary voters. 7 out of 10 republican primary voters who already have selected a candidate said they are going -- they are likely or they possibly will go to another candidate before they vote. okay? so we know what happened in -- look at 2012. herman cain won the presidential straw polls in florida. rick perry was leading all the polls in september. newt gingrich won the south carolina primary. anyone who thinks that the election is going to be decided tomorrow or the republican nomination is going to be decided tomorrow is badly mistaken and badly misinformed. there is a lot of campaigning left to do, there are a lot of debates left to do. jeb bush is campaigning hard like he's never campaigned before in new hampshire. anyone t

marco rubio has turned his back on the path to citizenship. marco rubio is against the dream act.s against the president's immigration executive action. i mean, he has -- you know, he's only less extreme because of where donald trump has led -- led the party. marco rubio at this point is where mitt romney was in 2012 and that wasn't a good place to be for mitt romney. >> mitt romney was -- >> mitt romney was against the path to citizenship. marco rubio is against the path to citizenship. i believe marco rubio -- marco rubio's home state paper has said he'll basically do anything on immigration that helps him politically. i believe if he has to go more towards trump and cruz to get the nomination, he will. >> mercedes, 20 seconds. >> right, i think for marco rubio, his biggest challenge will be he will need to clarify his position. he knows quite well that we need immigration, real immigration reform in this country. i think he needs to stick by that and make sure he makes the statements clear. >> someone could ask at the debate. the next one on cnn. >> that's right. >> mercedes, b

marco rubio at 11%. now, he's still far off the leaders but it's stig to see him in third place again in this new poll. one important bit of context here, we say this all the time. debates matter. and this poll was conducted both before and after last week's cnbc debate. so the effects of the candidates' performances of that debate aren't fully baked in. we'll have to look at future polling to get a clear picture of how people responded to that debate. this poll suggests that last week's cbs/"new york times" time, that was the first national poll showing carson in the lead. notice rubio hanging on to third place in that poll as well. now, trump is still in the lead in the key early voting state of new hampshire. in the latest monmouth university poll. you can see there, that poll has him ten points ahead of ben carson. meanwhile, rubio in third place in that poll as well. his support in new hampshire has tripled as you mentioned, has tripled since september. alisyn? >> right. athe athena, do two national
