The latest tracker battleground poll shows clinton big lead in georgia, virginia and texas. Clinton scored a decisive win this weekend. She beat Bernie Sanders by a landslide in saturdays South Clinton will hold an event where nancy cordes is this morning. Reporter she is leading by 20 points here in virginia in our Battleground Tracker. Its one of two states a that she is visiting today. Those poll numbers help to explain why increasingly clinton is turning her attention away from Bernie Sanders, training her fire, instead, on the republican candidates. I want to debate whoever they put up because here is what they are saying. They are selling the same snake oil, trickle down economics. Reporter clinton changed her focus after her South Carolina blowout. Tomorrow, this Campaign Goes National Reporter she won the states africanamerican vote by a staggering 72 points. On face the nation, sanders didnt sugarcoat it. We did really, really, really badly with older africanamericans voters. We got decimate. Reporter tomorrow, he must compete in seven more southern the latest cbs news Battleground Tracker shows him trailing clinton by 24 points in texas and 28 points in georgia. Voters there said clinton is more qualified, but they viewed sanders as more principle and hon honest. Secretary clinton does it a little bit differently. Reporter a distinction he tried to draw in Oklahoma City. If youre going to get paid 200,000 for a speech, must be a pretty damn good speech. And if its such a good speech, you got to release the transcript let everybody see it reporter clinton campaigned in nashville, a camera caught her can dit reaction when he told her about the latest trump controversy. Sanders shared that sentiment tweeting americas first black president cannot and will not be refuses to condemn the kkk. Clinton retweeted it. Some of his supporters say we like mr. Trump because he tells it like it is. Bigotry is not telling it like it is reporter sanders is heading to minnesota today, one of a few states where he thinks he can notch a win tomorrow. Ironically, even as clinton pulls ahead in the delegate count he is poised to notch his best fundraising month ever, pulling in 36 million in february. Nancy, thanks. Cbs news political director and face the nation moderator John Dickerson is in washington. Here we have all of this trading of insults and more Aggressive Campaign against trump. But the question remains will the race change until people stop dropping out . Well, right or, you know, one of the things we saw in our Battleground Tracker even if the other candidates who are not donald trump start dropping out, much more of the vote to really overtake trump. So we are going to have to see what happens when the voters get in the booth and start deciding what they are going to do to see if there is anything to stop trump. At the moment, this race to the bottom in the back and forth between the candidates hasnt seemed to have hurt him. Rather than a campaign of ideas has become a campaign about mussolini and kkk and the size of a candidates hands. What is going on in the National Republican party about how this may affect the partys future and electoral chances in other races . Once youre talking about mussolini youre in dangerous territory than makeup. These are repugnant ideas that the Republican Party stands very far apart of and the difficulty for donald trump even though he dissed about david duke on friday when he was asked by jake tapper on cnn about this, he immediately denounce the kkk and white supremacist. This should not be difficult and gives support to those saying he is playing footsy with the ugliest ideas out there. A debate on thursday, a lot of people thought marco rubio did very well in. What is Chris Christie looking for . Do you see this possible vp ticket for donald . Possibly. I think it was a chance for Chris Christie to get back in the story a little bit after his poor showing in New Hampshire and dropping out of the race, because he really ran on things, Chris Christie, that donald trump doesnt believe in and said things about trump and his lack of experience that are contradicted by what he said in supporting him ultimately in the end. So its helpful as you mentioned for donald trump to have an endorsement from somebody like so it was good for the news cycle but i think other than that, donald trump is off on his own and got his own thing going. Whether a place for christie in a Trump Administration there probably is in some possible way. John, thanks.

The temporary ceasefire in syria appears to be holding largely but the United Nations says thousands of syrians may have died from starvation during the civil war. Elizabeth palmer is in holmes, where residents halt in fighting will bring a lasting peace. Elizabeth, good morning. Reporter good morning. Well, this partial ceasefire is holding. It has to be said pretty long odds. The position has officially complained to the United Nations of numerous violations by the syrian army and 26 russian air but for civilians in areas that are quiet, this patchwork truce offers relief and a glimmer of hope it might grow into a broader and more lasting arrangement with monitors and designated safe zones. Especially in neighborhoods like the old city here thoroughly destroyed by years of fighting but now back in government hands and quiet. Life is starting to return to the ruins. Calmer, repairs, even school. The partial truce is also a rare bit of good news to the thousands of homeless syrians who were forced out of their towns and villages by fighting and who know want nothing more than to return. The United Nations now wants to take advantage of this pause in the fighting to deliver aid to 150,000 people in various parts of syria.

Unmarried women compromised a bigger percentage of female voters than their married peers. New York Magazine writer rebecca traisster has a new book all of the Single Ladies. But writes the following. The book is published by simon and we will talk to rebecca in a moment. First we wanted to see her findings in action and so we spoke to unmarried women on their views on dating and their fears and what makes them feel complete. Im single. Not married now. So i roll with it. Very single right now. Im in a fouryear relationship. I am single. Im single. Another thing, ive been single for five years so we are talking big plans right now. Every Single Person asks do you have a boyfriend . Are you dating . Sometimes you dont find the right one. Im not thinking about married. I dont think i really want to. I think i would be devastated if any get married. Thinking about career goals first. I want to have enough time for both, like, for home life and a work life. I will always choose my family over my career at the end of the day. My career is really then i cant have a father if i cant support them. Pushing myself professional as much as i can is way more of a priority. I dont think the biological clock has hit. Five years i plan to marry. I plan to marry rich, actually the key to feeling complete is being my truest and most confidence person. You have to love yourself to be able to be married and love someone else. Rebecca traisster, good morning. Wow i know you spent five year researches and putting this book together. What is interesting you found women choosing to be independent, unmarried before they are married. You say its a mast behavior. What does that mean . Even though it leads to a unprecedented economic its not a politicized action. Some we think of that liberating and revolutionary but mostly the pattern. It used to be between 1890 and 1980 the marry age was 20 and 22 and now its 27. Its a new pattern for adult female life that marriages happen later and maybe not at all. In 1970, here it was 23 and now 29. How is that changing us, meaning the general society . Changes everything the way the nation works. It changes. Our government and our social policy and civic institutions are built with one kind of sort of citizenry pattern in mind and the hetero marriage. Not the way the works any more. Tax policies and housing policies and schools let out at 3 00 in the afternoon and have big summer vacations number of our population going to be home to take care of those children the assumption they are always women. Does it change opportunity and pay equity . Absolutely. If you have a longer period and women are earning on their own, they are less likely to pay as big a toll as they have historically when they have entered marriages at the beginning of their lives and become sort of automatically dependent on their husband. In case you cant marry rich . Right. Charlie asked how it changes us. Immediately its changing the election right now. Yes. Well, in 2012 unmarried women were 23 of the electorate. Huge a quarter of the electorate. They vote very left. They vote consistently left. They voted for barack obama 6731 over mitt romney. So because they require a new set of social policies, they are going to have a tremendous impact. So far they have been voting especially in the predominantly white early states but almost certainly going to vote for a general election. The country . Absolutely, absolutely. Not the president ial level . Yes, unmarried women vote democratic. They require a whole new set of social policies that democrats are more likely to be behind. So what about men too . Men are, at the same time, marrying late . Yes, they are. And the population of single men is growing. One of the differences is that been able to live more easily independent lives. They have been more easily able to earn their own livings and be economic independent. That is relatively new for women. As far as being able to have that kind of social independence and have it be a norm rather than a scandalous or pitiable sight. I like you said this is not the first time women have had a in the 19th century so many men went west for exploration and killed during the civil war men on the east coast and Huge Population of unmarried women. A lot of these women whose lives suddenly werent given over to the lives of wifeliness and motherhood put their effort teaching. Nurses and medicine. Absolutely. Many of those pioneers and reformers were unmarried women or unconventionally married women. Concentration of the major institutions in america . Absolutely. Its happening. You see unmarried women rising in politics. We have so few women and so few women of color in politics and you see unmarried women and Donna Edwards running for senate in maryland and others. Another one running for california in the senate. They will be representing a population that is changed from everything we have ever seen before.

The principal at merrimack hospital held a moment of silence in memory of the 28 yearold shot and killed saturday night when responding to a domestic dispute in virginia. Officer Ashley Guindon was sworn into duty the day before. This morning Worcester Police are searching for a driver who hid two pedestrians and took off from the scene. A witness says he saw a woman run over a husband and wife yesterday afternoon. The couple and their daughter were leaving a flea market. The wife had serious injuries released from the hospital. Theres an investigation into a Police Shooting in dartmouth. Police were responding to a domestic incident involving a mother and son when 23yearold ryan kuphal took off in car and they tracked him down and he charged at them with a knife. Officers said they tried to subdue him with a tuesdayer before shooting him. He is hospitalized. Coming up, once upon a leap year what is it and how does it affect you.

Rock took a jab at them. Jalen boycotting the oscars i wasnt invited oh, thats not an invitation i would turn down. But i understand im not hating. I understand youre mad. Jalen is mad and her man will was not nominated for concussion. I get it, i get it. I get it, i get it. You get mad. Its not fair that will was this good and didnt get nominated youre right its also not fair that will was paid 20 million for wild, wild west okay . There are some surprising winners this morning who are celebrating their oscar trophies. Mad max and spotlight and revenant took home of the most award last night. Mad max led the pack with six. The oscars have been under fire since no minorities were nominated in the second straight year. Chris rock didnt stop there. Im here at the Academy Awards, otherwise known as the you realize if they nominated a host, i wouldnt even get this job so yall would be watching Neil Patrick Harris right now. Wesley morris and elena are here this morning. How did chris rock do . I thought he did great. We dont want him to be comfortable. We want him to push the boundary. We want him to be chris rock. Yeah. You dont hire him to just be nice to everybody. I think its interesting that he managed to do a lot of things, like he went after the Jada Pinkettsmith and will smith boycott or their not attending. He really wanted to keep the focus on there not being nominees of color, while also pointing out the fact that the inclusion is pervasive, like he wouldnt get the job irnl. He either. He is providing a context when he gave a Historical Context for the idea of boycotting. Both of you gave him straight as . No. No. I just want to mention one more thing i thought he did was brilliant make the point about there being black oscars and why the gender categories are still ive been saying this i wanted to write a story about this and ive been saying three years, the grammys no longer have gender categories. I want to know what would happen i think it would change things a lot in terms of how we talk about these things if you eliminated the gender category. One of the reasons we continue to have them is women dont tend to lead movies in the same way men do. Most of the oscar nominated movies are the story of a hero on a quest. I will bet you anything, stuff would change if you just made it support ten ten best actor nominees. Robert de niro says i dont need to slow down my acting because of merle streep. Not at all. Not at all. You would have a really interesting conversation when those nominations came out, you know, in january and it was 20. What did you like or not like about chris is my question. I thought something he did that was interesting was he either repeated the same jock that he did when he hosted the last time or he made a call back where he did a video bit where he went to a Movie Theater in a black neighborhood. The last time he hosted it was Magic Johnson theater in harlem. This year he went to compton. There is controversy he wasnt there. Oh, really . Yes. He asked moviegoers if they had seen some of the nominate films and the sort of broad answer was no. Yes. It was funny when he did it the first time. But coming back to it, it maybe was a little bit weak from a comedy point of view. Lets talk about Leonardo Dicaprio. He used his speech to make a larger point about climate change. Good thing . Oh, absolutely. I think he has been such an activist for environmental causes that would you be surprised if he didnt make that point. That is very, as i was saying last night, on brand for leo or Leonardo Dicaprio because i dont know him did he it smartly . Yeah. I would have been surprised if he hadnt done it. He has been trumpeting these issues for year. They are real. It was a night when a lot of people called out causes that were bigger than the show he themselves which i thought was interesting. It was a moment where people taking the time to use this platform to say this is not just about me winning an award. Look at Vice President biden and lady gaga putting a call out diversity issue obviously. The production itself brought out these sexual survivors or these abuse survivors and i thought that was really powerful. That said, wesley, you worked in boston and i worked in boston as well. Yes. I worked the globe. You worked at the globe which this story is about. Spotlight spotlight raced out to the early lead and backed off. This was a little bit of a surprise. Yes. It wing came down to three movies. This was i mean, when you think about it its kind of a nobrainer. Its the most important of those, you know, quote, important of those three movies. Its really well made. Great to see Investigative Journalism cheering at home. The least divisive between the revenant and that. That Sylvester Stallone will win for creed as best supporting actor . People thought he had the edge. And mark rylance was a surprise of the night. Even if you think its a done deal, all of these, you know, front runners are going to win there is usually a surprise that often comes in the supporting categories and to see somebody like rylance honored for the theater actor, honored to bridge of spies for a quieter ylvester stallone did, i think is nice. One final thing to say it reminds me to watch the oscars, i mean, good actors, how many good arks we have and really are people out there who do what they do extraordinarily well. Yes. No, its great. One thing i will say about this socalled diversity issue is i dont know who was booking the guests or who said no, but all your actors of color came from tv. Or from some other realm of entertainment. Very few of them were american. It was just an interesting optic. A subtext that other streams of entertainment are doing it better perhaps than movies. Here they are to give movie awards to people who served yes. Thank you for being here. Thanks for having us. Great to have you here. Thank you both. You can consider today a gift from a 16th century pope. Jamie wax explains why its all a matter of time. Coming up, ever wonder why we squeeze an extra day into february every four years .

P xarelto is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke r in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. R for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, t there is limited information on how t xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. P you know, taking warfarin, i had to deal with that blood testing routine. Ri couldnt have a healthy salad whenever i wanted. With xarelto. Hey, safety first. R like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto r without talking to your doctor, as this may r increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. R while taking, you may bruise more easily and r it may take longer for bleeding to stop. P xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. P xarelto can cause serious and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. R get help right away for unexpected bleeding, r unusual bruising, or tingling. R if you have had spinal anesthesia while r on xarelto , watch for back pain or any nerve r or muscle related signs or symptoms. R do not take xarelto if you have an artificial t heart valve or abnormal bleeding. R tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. P before starting xarelto , tell your doctor about r any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Xarelto is the number onerprescribed blood thinner t in its class. Well that calls for ar round of kevin nealons. Make mine an arnold palmer. Same here. P with xarelto there is no regular blood monitoring r and no known dietary restrictions. R treatment with xarelto was the right move for us. If youre waking up a little groggy from your oscars party, you may not have noticed that today is a leap day. But what exactly does that mean . Loophole. Reporter good morning. Thats right. Every four year, we have to squeeze an extra day into february. Except we dont add an extra day every four of that years, its divisible by 400. In that sounds, confusing it is we started to dig into leap years and figure out what its about and started with one very special leap day birthday embrace the latter. But why does daisys birthday only come around once every four years . Reporter do you know why we have a leap year . No. No. Probably something about the sun . To do with the seasons and global warming. El nino . Reporter we decided it might be best to consult an expert. Here is theoretical futurist why do we have a leap year . 65 days is what we learn in school, no . Mother nature made it 365 hours plus five hours and 49 minutes and a few odd seconds. That means that every year, we have to compensate for one quarter of a day. So after four years, we have to add one more day. Reporter when did we figure out the need for this extra day . It was way back in 46 b. C. Julius caesar realized the calendar they were going after wasnt working. Together they realized what the egyptians had discovered we need an extra day every four years to stay on track, so he instituted but even that wasnt quite right. See . The solar year is actually only. 242 days longer than the calendar year and not an even. 25. When we add a full day every four years, we are left with a surplus of roughly 11 minutes every year, and that can start to add up. So, finally, in 1582, pope gregory 17th fixed the glitch and instituted the calendar we still follow today. How is it different . Ill let michio kaku explain. 11 minutes difference in one years rotation builds up. And that is why the pope had to intervene and say we have to tweak the julien calendar one more time. So, for example, in the year 1600, that is divisible by 400, there was a leap year, but in 1700 and 1800 and 1900, no, no then the year 2000 there was a leap year. Reporter a lot of tweaking. Yes. Reporter luckily, we have digital watches to account for all this. This particular watch has a wheel in it that turns run revolution every four years to accommodate the extra day. Reporter someone engineered a wheel that turns once every four years . Yes. Reporter many of us have to adjust the date on our watches at the end of every everybody but this one does that for you. This hand represents the date. Reporter in order to see how it works, we looked at one under a microscope. A cycle of 48 months for the leap year, so we have a cam of 48. We have 48 lobes and each lobe represents a month. Reporter it takes over a year and a half to construct one watch and it will set you back around 85,000. So you have four years to save up for the next leap year. Around the world, leap year traditions vary. Luck to get married any day of a leap year. Up north a british tradition says february 29th is the only day a woman can propose marriage to a man. For daisy, her birthday tradition has always been a nice dinner with family and friends. But this year is different. After all, its not every day you turn 25 one last thing to think before this leap year morning. If you havent left for work yet, you may want to consider just staying home after all, if youre a salaried employee your company is getting an extra day of work from you this year for free good point, jamie i wish i knew that before i came to work today. What a great story. Cool stuff. Thank you. Happy leap day. Leap day. Leap year and leap day. Leap everything youre watching cbs this morning.
