And at long last, this national nightmare that were going through will be over. Women will be happy, healthy, confident, and free. You will no longer be thinking about abortion because it is now where it always had to be, with the states and with the vote of the people. Lord help, trump is still spouting nonsense as Vice President Kamala Harris builds momentum with some very positive new polls and growing enthusiasm. Also tonight, the significance of all the Star Power on harris side, which really gnaws as trump, who has only has Hulk Hogan and a few other folks who were briefly relevant 40 years ago. Sad. And we begin tonight with the 43 Day Sprint to November 5th. And if youre Feeling Kind of tense, not super loose, youre not alone. I think everyone who is paying any amount of attention to this election is some combination of excited, anxious, and thoroughly freaked out. We have officially entered the period where the Election Isnt coming, it is here. In a few weeks. Just a few weeks
dean: griff jenkins joins us live from charleston. how you doing down there? reporter: good morning, you know, dean, i don t think it s a comeback on par with the giants, but it is undoubtedly the first heavy blow to sanders surging first three performances. joe biden, running low on cash in hopes he could actually win, actually blew away the race with the african-american vote, and he had this message for his naysayers the pundits have declared this candidacy dead. now, thanks to all of you, the heart of the democratic party, we just won and we ve won big because of you. [cheers and applause] we are very much on! reporter: let s look at numbers here. you see biden more than doubling sanders at 48.45 to 19.51.
nbc/ wall street journal numbers for iowa, because they are well within the margin of error, and i would call that neck and neck, 48/45 even though she is ahead. if there is any psychological for having your name on the top, it has to be here, david, because having sanders here at 53 over your 49 today has to be painful. and you have to remember what iowa means to hillary clinton. this is where it all started unraveling for her in 2008, the end of 2007 and when they voted in 2008 and catapulted barack obama, and had that long battle between then senator obama and then senator clinton. so she is trying to the learn the lessons from that past election cycle, and apply them in iowa with a much stronger organization, and a much more row bust field operation, and she said it herself as recently as yesterday that she didn t ap really appreciate what the iowa
bottom of the hour, welcome back to the real story. a newhole puts hillary clinton head-to-head with some presidential candidate. not faring so well against some gop white house hopefuls. mike emanuel is live for us in washington. mike, what else does this poll reveal? it shows a very close race in a hypothetical head-to-head between clinton and some of the republican candidates. for example, texas senator ted cruz. this nbc news? wall street journal poll has clinton 48/cruz 45. dr. ben carson s numbers have been slipping against the other republicans but against clinton this poll has carson 47/clinton 46. and then there s florida senator marco rubio leading clinton 48/45 with rubio winning with independents and performing best with female voters out of the republican field. gretchen? so what are the other
in terms of independents, african-americans that mix is critical. and, ellen, another very, very close, perhaps the closest senate race in the country, montana. that s right. and senator tester, the democrat, who might just barely hold on. a lot of outside money going into montana which didn t used to permit that. yes. you know this is all about turnout, as usual. i think there s a lot more momentum in the last 72 years. frankly there was even the last 72 days for some of these races. i think it will be very important to see what the voter turnout is. early voting numbers are ticking up in the states and we ll have to see where they are in montana tonight. what about nevada? what are you seeing out there, david? where harry reid operation proved in the past it s formidable but that you ve got the democratic candidate holding on. this is a seat that could go either way obviously, 48/45 in our latest polling. yeah, i d have to say, i
