A new National Poll this morning shows donald trump is supported by 49 of voters leading the republicans. Major garrett, good morning to you. Reporter for better or worse, marco rubio has discovered his inner donald trump. Hurling personal insults. It is a successful model. For trump one potential downside procures another important conversation about trump, tolerance and the future of the Republican Party. He doesnt sweat because his pores are clogged from the spray tan that he uses. Reporter last night at a rally in virginia, marco rubio got a lot more personal in his attacks against donald trump. He is always calling me little marco. I admit he is taller than me. He is 62 which is why i dont understand why his hands are the size of someone who is at 52. He has small hands. You know what they say about men with small hands . Reporter trump referred to marco rubio. There is something wrong with marco. There is something with him. He is sweating. Reporter in the past, trump has retweeted support of messages from White Supremacists and even retweeted a quote over the weekend from world war ii dictator mussolini. He hesitated when asked about david dukes endorsement of the ku klux klan. I know nothing about david duke or white supremacist. I dont know what group youre talking about. You wouldnt want me to condemn a group i know nothing about. Trump knew enough about duke to say this friday in ft. Worth. I didnt know he endorsed me. David duke endorsed me . Okay. I disavow, okay. Reporter marco rubio called trump dangerous to the gop. How are we going to grow our to condemn the ku klux klan . Donald trump refused to disassociate himself and condemn white supremacist. Every day, its another thing. Reporter ted cruz took to twitter. We should all agree racism is wrong and kkk is abhorrent. Trump picked up the endorsement of alabama senator Jeff Sessions and that only be interrupted as a blow to cruz. Trump invoked his name in the fight against rubio and comprehensive immigration reform. Thank you, major. In the democratic race, Hillary Clinton carries the momentum. 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 Carolina primary. Clinton will hold an event where 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 states. The latest cbs news battleground and 28 points in georgia. Voters there said clinton is more qualified, but they viewed sanders as more principle and 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 succeeded by a hatemonger who refuses to condemn the kkk. 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, whoever is left doesnt get that much more of the vote to really overtake trump. 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 seemed to be sort of unable to immediately denounce the kkk and 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 endorsement from somebody like that in a blue state. So it was good for the news cycle but i think other than 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. Our team will bring you super tuesday results in prime time and our coverage begins at 10 00 9 00 central on cbs.

Bumpadum, bumbumbumbum women made up 61 of democratic primary voters in South Carolina this weekend according to cbs exit polling. 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 schuster, a division of cbs and we will talk to rebecca in a moment. Findings in action and so we spoke to unmarried women on their views on dating and their fears and what makes them feel 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 important. Then i cant have a father if i pushing myself professional as much as i can is way more of a priority. I dont think thebiological 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 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. Career. Some we think of that liberating 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 the assumption there is some number of our population going to be home to take care of those 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 left for bernie by some number, especially in the predominantly certainly going to vote for a democratic candidate in the general election. Seeing that in states across 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 toward the suffrage and 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. You see single women rising and they will be representing a everything we have ever seen before.

Jada pinkettsmith and will smith boycotted last nights ceremony after the nominations were introduced. Rock took a jab at them.

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 white peoples choice awards. You realize if they nominated a 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 racism or the lack of inclusion is pervasive, like he heeither. 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 in force. 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 supporting actor nominees and 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. It was brilliant the first timt. But coming back to it, it maybe was a little bit weak from 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 about stop sexual abuse or the diversity issue obviously. 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 wingcame 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. But the narrative also was that Sylvester Stallone will win 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 performance than severlSylvester 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. They were either abc employees or from some other realm of 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 . Morning. Hehehesa its tt. Ihe tmothla. It fruy,urs. And its trying to destroy our generation. Its called synthetics. So, some guy thought it might be a good idea to spray poison on some herbs, and then sell it to you. No, its not marijuana. It goes by names like k2, spice, rocks. Causes hallucinations, rapid heartbeat. Vomiting, seizures. And it can kill you the first time you smoke it. We gotta have each others backs. This is our future. And the future of new york is saying no to synthetics if youre waking up a little 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 100 unless its divisible by 400. In that sounds, confusing it is 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. I dont know. El nino . Be best to consult an expert. Here is theoretical futurist michio kaku. Why do we have a leap year . You go around the sun is 365 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 the julien calendar. But even that wasnt quite right. 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 leap year. Then the year 2000 there was a leap year. 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 reporter someone engineered a wheel that turns once every 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 reporter in order to see how it works, we looked at one under a microscope. A cycle of 48 months for the 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. In greece, its considered bad luck to get married any day of a 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 just staying home 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 we will be right back. Twenty more years of this job . Yikes. My kids say go for it, mom.

His name is carl. But thats not what we all have in common. We talked to our doctors about treatment with xarelto. Xarelto is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. Xarelto is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. You know, taking warfarin, i had to deal with that blood testing routine. I couldnt have a healthy salad whenever i wanted. I found another way. Yeah, treatment with xarelto. Hey, safety first. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto can cause serious and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto , watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto , tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Xarelto is the number one prescribed blood thinner in its class. Well that calls for a round of kevin nealons. Make mine an arnold palmer. Same here. With xarelto there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. Treatment with xarelto was the right move for us. Good morning. It is 8 55 on this monday morning. Warm today. But there are changes coming in the weather department. Im chris wragge.
