new cnn polling under scores what people saw in the democratic debate bearing in mind it s a national poll and early in the campaign. it shows joe biden out front but with the margin of error, he s tied with california senator kamala harris and massachusetts senator elizabeth warren is a close third and she and harris were widely perceived to have done well on the debate stage and biden was not and drilling deeper into the polling could say more where things go from here. joining us now, political director david. how bad did biden s performance hurt him? this is a national poll which really what matters is iowa, new hampshire in the early states. of course. there is no doubt about that. this is a snapshot of where democrats across the country remember some 18 million people
race and bussing issues. i think it would be concerned if i was on his team that he just didn t seem ready to respond to that. i find it hard to believe that his team didn t prepare him for it and i think that he can t be caught flat footed that way in the future. david, paul was referencing biden s traditional support among black voters, 36% i think to kamala harris 24% should i mean, that s not something that he can take for granted. oh, no, not at all. and that listen, what we saw remember back in 2007, 2008, a lot of black voters early on parked with hillary clinton didn t move over to barack obama until they saw white america in iowa say vote for the guy and so i think joe biden will have to fight for every inch of this. yes, he was barack obama s vice

i guess i m probably more aligned to the left side in terms of the policy issues, maybe not as in touch with america as paul is, i guess. but i think that the interesting thing about this to me in terms of looking at this poll is that the democrats are sort of struggling with the idea of what makes somebody the best person to beat trump, and i think that the conventional wisdom kind of was it s a white guy. it s a joe biden kind of white guy who can connect with people in pennsylvania, and i think they are starting to rethink that. interesting. david, kirsten, paul, thank you, good discussion. still to come, as democrats visit detainees near the border, there is a new report about a facebook group, kind of invite only facebook group that border patrol agents current and former and others had that contains vulgar comments about migrant deaths and sometimes racist bigoted language. we ll have details about it
