Today a new cbs News New York times poll of g. O. P. Primary voters has him at 35 , his highest number yet in our polling and up from 22 in october. Trump leads his nearest rival, ted cruz, better than two to one. Former frontrunner ben carson lost half of his support, falling to third. Everyone else is in single digits. The poll was taken before trump called for a temporary ban on muslims entering the United States. We have more now from major garrett. Those numbers, i like looking at. Reporter donald trump has long professed a love for polls, and these numbers might add to his fascination. A new nbc news wall street journal poll showed 42 of republicans support trumps call to ban muslims from coming to the u. S. , 36 oppose it. Among all voters, nearly six in 10 disagree with the plan while 25 support it. I have to do whats right. And whats right is this we have a problem. Its a serious problem. Its got to be solved. Reporter in addition to leading our poll nationwide, republicans give trump a clear advantage on terrorism and the economy. Th of g. O. P. Primary voters say they are very confident in trumps ability to deal with terrorism, 51 say the same about his approach to the economy. And yet, trump remains divisive. 23 of g. O. P. Voters said he is the nominee they would be most dissatisfied with. We need to take off the blinders of political correctness. Reporter drafting close behind trump, texas senator ted cruz. 30 of republican primary voters are very confident cruz could handle terrorism. Hes also seen as the second choice of 26 of trump supporters, outpacing his republican rivals. The course of a president ial election, the voters are going to make a decision about every candidate, and ultimately, the decision is who has the right judgment. Reporter cruz today picked up the endorsement of bob vanderplatt, a leader among social conservatives in iowa. Scott, vanderpplatt has backed the two most recent gop caucus winners, Mike Huckabee in 2008, and Rick Santorum in 2012. Pelley major, thank you. Today, the investigation of the San Bernardino massacre took f. B. I. Divers to a lake near the crime scene. Theyre looking for a hard drive missing from the home of the killers, syed farook and his pakistani wife Tashfeen Malik. Another focus is their 24year old neighbor, and carter evans has the latest on him. Reporter Law Enforcement sources tell cbs news, Enrique Marquez is cooperating with the f. B. I. , that hes told them of a 2012 terror plot he and Syed Rizwan Farook allegedly hatched, then scuttled. Marquez could face charges of providing Material Support for terrorism after admitting he provided two of the assault weapons used in the San Bernardino attack. But the more thats revealed about marquez, the more puzzling it is for those who knew him. He was really outgoing. He was never violent. Reporter Viviana Ramirez was a college classmate. Just the fact that he is friends with him doesnt mean that he did it. Reporter marquez had converted to islam and visited this mosque a couple of times three or four years ago, according to a spokesman. A mosque member who met marquez says he seemed to be searching lr direction, was exploring islam, and later said he wanted to convert to buddhism. Another friend tells cbs news, when he talked about islam, he talked about it in the past tense. He told me that he deconverted years ago. Something else marquez may have shielded from his friends was that he had a wife, a russian woman who is related to farook by marriage. But neighbors of marquez say they never recall seeing his wife. Beday, outside the house where family members have shunned reporters for days, marquezs mother spoke briefly in spanish captured by cell phone video. My world is upside down, she says. My son is a good person. Marquez lived in the home behind me, right next door to where his childhood friend farook once lived. And scott, the first of the funerals for the San Bernardino victims was held today. 27yearold Yvette Velasco was laid to rest. Pelley carter evans, carter, thanks. Tashfeen malik got into the United States on a fiancee visa, and she was screened for ties to terrorism. Margaret brennan has been looking into that. Reporter Tashfeen Malik arrived in the u. S. With her fiancee, syed farook, in july 2014. Just two months earlier, she passed a u. S. Government background check that found no suspected ties to terrorism. She was granted a k1 visa, even though the f. B. I. Now believes she was radicalized before she met farook. The state Department Says malik was thoroughly questioned during an interview at the u. S. Embassy in pakistan. She also filled out a questionnaire where she was asked, do you seek to engage in terrorist activity . Are you a member of a terrorist organization . Five u. S. Agencies also vetted her, checking her fingerprints against two databases. Neither her name nor image showed up on a u. S. Terror watch list. Malik gave an incomplete home address, which could have raised red flags, but its not clear if it was intentional. Now congress is demanding to know what questions she was asked and to see her visa application. House republican matt salmon and they say the vetting process is has got all these failsafes, but apparently there arent enough failsafes because she got through the system and how many others have gotten through the system . Reporter 35,000 other foreigners received k1 visas last year. Just 618 applications were denied. White house spokesman josh earnest said the program will likely be changed. If somebody entered the United States through the k1 visa program and proceeded to carry out an act of terrorism on american soil, that program is, at a minimum, worth a very close look. Reporter the departments of state and Homeland Security admit that no screening will ever be 100 secure, especially, scott, in a case like this, where there were no history of ties to a terrorist group, and malik did not make her extremist views public. Pelley Margaret Brennan at the white house for us tonight. Margaret, thanks. Law enforcement is blind to the plans of some terrorists because their communications are encrypted. Heres nancy cordes. Reporter this is where terrorists turn these days when they want to talk undetected, a messaging app, called telegram, available for free on any smartphone. Its the goto application for terrorist communication. Reporter elliot zweig is Department Director at the middle east Media Research institute. Telegram has set it up that even they themselves dont retain the information. They cannot monitor the content. Reporter and there are dozens of other apps just like t, featuring powerful encryption Law Enforcement cant crack. That is a big problem. We have to grapple with it. Reporter f. B. I. Director james comey revealed wednesday that one of the two men who tried to attack a garland, texas, Conference Center in may communicated with an overseas terrorist 109 times that morning. And to this day, i cant tell you what he said with that terrorist, 109 times the morning of that attack. Reporter so congress is considering legislation that would compel Tech Companies to unscramble and hand over suspicious and encrypted messages, but many of these Companies Operate outside of u. S. Telegram was founded by a russian and is based in germany, and experts warn that isis is testing out its own encrypted android app, so it wont have to rely on outside companies at all. Even u. S. Tech companies have balked at the notion of new laws. They say encryption is there to protect all kinds of protect all kinds of personal data and if they give Law Enforcement a way in, scott, eventually, hackers will find their way in, too. Pelley nancy cordes on capitol hill. Thank you, nancy. Connecticut is about to become the first state to ban anyone on a Government Watch list from buying a firearm. That is something that congress has not done, despite a request from the president. Governor dan malloy announced today hell do it by executive order. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia is under fire tonight for comments he made during oral arguments yesterday. The court was hearing a challenge to affirmative action at the university of texas. Heres our chief legal correspondent, jan crawford. Reporter Justice Scalia was describing an argument made in court papers by opponents of affirmative action. There are those who contend it does not benefit African Americans to get them into the university of texas where they do not do well, says scalia, as opposed to a slower tracked school where they do. Scalia was referring to the mis matched theory that minorities admitted through affirmative action tend to enter at the bottom of the class. Then they have trouble competing. With that in mind, scalia continued, i dont think it stands to reason that its a good thing for the university of texas to admit as many blacks as possible. But outside the court, no one cared about the legal arguments. Scalia was deemed racist. Minority leader harry reid even took to the senate floor. But it is deeply disturbing to hear a supreme Court Justice endorse racist ideas from the bench. Its not the least bit racist. Reporter stuart taylor, co authored the book that pioneered the mismatch theory. Justice scalia used rather awkward words, but the point he was making was absolutely correct that when you dramatically lower academic standards to let in a racial group into a college who wouldnt get in otherwise, theyre going to have trouble competing with the people who got in the oldfashioned way. Reporter now supporters of affirmative action say the mismatched theory understates the real advantages that minority students get by attending these highly selective schools. And, scott, they point out that the Graduation Rates for minorities at u. T. Austin, well, theyre the highest of any Public College in the state. Pelley jan crawford in the washington newsroom. Thanks, jan. Army Sergeant Bowe bergdahl is speaking for the First Time Since he was released in a prisoner swap last year. Bergdahl was captured by the taliban in 2009 after he wandered from his post in afghanistan. His first interviews are now on the podcast serial, and david martin is at the pentagon. Reporter the armys investigation of bergdahl portrayed him as a cockeyed idealist, an image he seemed to confirm with his own words. The soldier the army has charged with desertion, and some have branded a traitor, told an interviewer he abandoned his post in an effort to draw attention to problems within his own unit. Reporter bergdahl said it wasnt long after he walked away that he realized how stupid. Reporter it took the taliban about a day to find him. Reporter bergdahl spent the next five years as a prisoner of the taliban. Much of it was in a pitchblack room. Reporter bergdahls stunt backfired not only on himself but also on his fellow soldiers. Their lives were put in greater jeopardy by having to spend several weeks hunting for him. The army still has not decided what to do with bergdahl. He faces charges that could bring a life sentence, but investigators have recommended he not spend any more time in prison. Scott. Pelley david martin at the pentagon. David, thanks.
