i don't want to dwell on national polls. he's in fourth place in the national polls, he's going to have a hard time raising money. he has to win florida, kasich has to win ohio. if rubio loses, kasich will become the establishment alternative. they don't like cruz, don't like trump. he's right -- john kasich when he was in congress he helped balance the budget. as a governor, he can say he's a fiscal conservative but more viewed in the center of the party. would he have appeal in pennsylvania? sure. would he have appeal in maryland? sure. would he have appeal in connecticut, maybe new york? you have the frump fact the trump factorthere. viable in a race for president, that's a big deal. now, winning one state is not going to do it. it might get him started. he'd have to quickly deliver on other states. would it give him a steppingstone and a chance? yes. >> also interesting, i mean, even if he wasn't able to win, i mean, donald trump has said, i don't know if this is in governor kasich's thinking, but donald trump has said a

hillary clinton is holding a commanding lead over bernie sanders in the latest national poll. >>> on the republican side, a protest and a scuffle erupted at a donald trump rally as he trades more insults, trump soared in a new poll jumping ahead of his rivals marco rubio and ted cruz by more than 30 points. >> it's "your voice, your vote" and we have live team coverage. lana zak standing by in washington, d.c. but we'll get started with stephanie ramos who is in virginia where polls open this morning at 6:00. good morning, stephanie. >> reporter: good morning to you, kendis and reena. you got it. it is super tuesday and voters can cast their ballots starting at 6:00 this morning in alexandria, virginia. as soon as they close in 12 states we could effectively have a nominee for both parties. super tuesday is here. the biggest voting day of the year leading up to the general election. voters in a dozen states and a polls today with 1,610 delegates at stake. hours before they open the candidates zig sagging across and holding rallies trying to grab last-minute votes. >> let me be very c

donald trump is at 49% in our national poll among republicans. rubio 16%. cruz 15%, carson 10% and kasich 6%. donald trump up eight points from our january poll. so look, whatever business you're in, whatever sport you play, whatever competition it is, whether it's politics, whether it's baseball, whether you sell products, you don't want to let the other guy get ahead when you're trying to catch up. donald trump is stretching his lead in the time the other candidates are facing pressure to catch up or drop out. the numbers are simply not good. even though it's a national poll. and here's something else you look at. remember, a national poll means some people in these 11 super tuesday states are among those being polled. some people in the states just to follow are among those being polled. 78% of trump voters say they are locked in and definitely support him. only 57% of the voters who support the others sayer definitely locked in. if you are trailing trump and trying to catch up, sure, if you are rubio you want kasich votes. you also need to get trump vote

national poll means some people in these 11 super tuesday states are among those being polled. some in the states just to follow among those being polled. 78% of trump voters are locked in and definitely support him. only 57% of the voters who support the other state are definitely locked in. if you are trailing trump and trying to catch up, sure, if you are rubio you want kasich votes. you also need to get trump voters to switch sides and donald trump voters are locked in. it makes it harder as we go forward. >> if you are one of the others trying to defeat trump. what worries you in these numbers beyond his national lead. >> if you are ted cruz, let me give you a number that has you unhappy. choice for nominee among white evangelicals. why does that matter? let me show you on the map where evangelicals live in america. the deeper the shading, the higher the number. most of super tuesday is played out below this line. tex aoklahoma, arkansas, tennessee, alabama. trump won in south carolina. this is supposed to be ted cruz's wheelhouse. evangelical america. donald trump leads 4

that brings us to our latest number in our new nbc news/"wall street journal" national poll. on the democratic side, as we reported earlier today, sanders has his best number yet in a national poll against hillary clinton, but her lead remains and she's up nine points over 50%. and as you can see, little really has changed in this race in the last month. but on the republican side, we have brand-new numbers out right now, and it's a much-different story. we have deadlocked essentially in a statistical try, trump up three points. kasich has catapulted into third place in our numbers there, as you can see, ahead of rubio, but within the margin. trump has gained a couple of points since last month, likely due as primary wins. we should note our new nbc news survey monkey had trump, it's part of a pattern where drump does better in online polls. the bigger mover is john kasich, up double digits. tonight may serve as a critical benchmark for the stop-trump movement. we've seen an onslaught from elders like mitt romney, millions of dollars hitting the air waves in attack ads like t

be talking about national polls when it's january and february, but we can talk about national polls now because we are now talking about a national election, choose for nominee right now 51% of the democrats are picking hillary clinton. enthusiastic for the candidate, bernie sanders gets 40%, hillary clinton gets 34%. this goes to the idea that it's good for the party to keep the race going and for bernie sanders to remain in the race. unlike what's happening in the republican party where they really are tearing each other apart right now, the voters that are with bernie sanders now are so far to the left that they're going to come to hillary clinton. they don't have another place to go. i know we mentioned the green party, but it's not that strong and it's not a place where i think you're going to see democrats go. i think you're going do see the bernie sanders people go to hillary clinton. >> unless they don't vote. >> they're policy differences aren't that far off. >> all along you have been saying that if donald trump -- assuming donald trump is the nominee on the republican sid

yes, according to a new national poll that voters will put to the test in four states today. this new survey is from abc news and the "washington post" newspaper. it shows donald trump still leading the competition with 34%. well ahead of the closest rival. come over here and look at the numbers. donald trump shot right to the top, as you can see, where he's been ever since. that's the top line, the trump line trumping the rest of them. but notice a dip in reason weeks and it happened right here. you can see the closing there. rivals stepped up the attacks and trump has either slimmed or slid tightly. you can see others are on the rise. of course, national polls don't matter much in our state by state system but it's telling on the national mood. surveys show trump leading ahead of the primary in the state of michigan. that's where most delegates are at stake. trump isn't even stumping. in state, instead spending his time in florida ahead of next tuesday's primary. poll show trump leading in the home state of florida. analysts predict the loss would kill the campaign. already

national polls showing 70% disapproving of him. in the milwaukee metropolitan area, he has a 25%. conservative women in wisconsin looking at donald trump and repelled by the way he treats women. he has a problem with women. this fits into the narrative. and you know, this is one of these incidents, could have gone away so easily, just have apologized. apologize when it happened. be willing to admit something was done wrong. this campaign just continues, apparently they've made the decision that their brand is they never say they're wrong. never apologize. they think that that is weakness. when i asked him the other day, real men stand up and say they're sorry. they have backed themselves into a corner. this doesn't tip the bounds, but it feed news the negative. donald trump, trust me, has a problem with women in wisconsin. you're going to see that next tuesday. >> are you for cruz? >> i've come out in favor of cruz, because i'm a never trump guy. >> i sort of got that perspective. i think we have to identify that, yeah. let me go to ann for trump. what do you make of this? two thi

about a what happens today could dramatically re-shape each nomination race but the latest national cnn/orc poll shows hillary clinton and donald trump will be tough to beat. nationally, clinton has 55- percent support among democrats. trump has more than triple the support of his nearest rival marco rubio. (margaret hoover, republican strategist) remember there are a lot of late deciders but i think it's still quite likely that donald trump will win on super tuesday. its been a rough couple of days for donald trump. first he was attacked relentlessly by marco rubio during last week's debate. then, he declined to immediately disavow support from former ku klux klan leader david duke in an interview on sunday. (donald trump, (r) presidential candidate) i don't know anything about david duke. despite having distanced himself before and after that interview. (donald trump, (r) presidential candidate) so, i've disavowed david duke all weekend log on facebook, on twitter. and obviously it's never enough.

and he only got 38%. >> i don't think you can discount that national poll. ives him some solace. here in new york trump will win. >> i don't agree with that at all. >> up by 40. >> that poll also showed trump up in texas. that poll is not a reliable poll at all. >> all right. if you could beat donald trump in his home state, everything turns around. >> look, new yorkers know donald trump. new yorkers know donald trump. >> they like trump. >> you would be surprised. one of the things about new york, the way new york is, it is by congressional districts. there are a lot of conservatives in this state who want a real conservative. and you know what? the people of new york have suffered under failed liberal democratic policies for decades and donald trump has funded just about every one of those liberal democrats. >> if you can beat him here, that's a game changer for everything. if you can beat him here. >> we were talking in the previous segment about mayor bill de blasio's dissolving the unit that was targeting radical islamic terrorism. bill de blasio was sup
