vice president mike pence as a decent guy. your lovely person. and now he s lost his lead and i will. a new registered scene unfold shows that elizabeth warren is turning big crowds into big caucus support, warren is in first, biden is in second grade bernie sanders is in third grade we are still months away from the iowa caucuses in the first primary election. that s why pete buttigieg feels good about being fourth-place in iowa. i m not too worried about a variation with that, especially where one in five people say they ve made up their mind. just behind buttigieg in iowa, kamala harris. i don t know if you guys are, i m planning on moving to iowa. [laughs] and cory booker. some of you might not know this but this big bald black guy from jersey, my roots are right here in des moines. booker s campaign made, it weighs more million dollars
primary election. bret: she said she doesn t do polls, but something tells me she follows them because there s a new one out in iowa from the des moines register and cnn that has elizabeth warren up. at margin of error, it s essentially tied but the first polls showing her up there. if you look to this poll, the favorability rating among the three democrats and this is striking too, 75% favorable for elizabeth morgan and there you see the top three. here s the real clear politics average of recent polls. national iowa and new hampshire and you see warren on the rise in iowa and obviously in striking distance in new hampshire. back with the panel, chris, and shift or what we ve been seeing? iowa should be very good for elizabeth warren. it s voting population is older, it s whiter, it s more liberal, and because it s a caucus system, it relies on the most activated and engaged voters. why bernie sanders did well there, because the party
with defense policies for quite some time. i suspect he ll continue to avoid that criticism regardless of how well the jobs numbers turn out. mike: let s take a quick look at some of the trends of the 21 democrats. you ve got vice president joe biden who is down. kamala harris is up. bernie sanders down. elizabeth warren up. pete buttigieg down. but when it comes to fund raising, pete buttigieg has been crushing it. biden right behind him. bernie sanders behind biden, and kamala harris really need to pick up some steam in terms of fund-raising. your thoughts, mollie? you need to win both of these, fund raising and having the votes. what s interesting for me, kamala harris did a great job coming out of that debate going after joe biden. turns out she didn t have much to stand on. goes after him on busing, steals the show, turns out her position is the same as joe biden. she might want to avoid this pattern, she s known for
be in any position, it doesn t seem to me, given the way he s played everything over the last couple of years to help put the republican party back together. how far are we from a verdict in this case, just so that gets cleared. that aspect of guilt or innocence and the criminal aspect? she ll continue her testimony under direct on monday, possibly get to cross-examination on tuesday. the jury will then be charged. that is a somewhat lengthy process, maybe an hour and a half, maybe two hours, maybe more. the jury could have this case by wednesday. i m glad we have you on. thank you, adam reece and howard fineman. up next, kurt schiling is hoping to trade the pitcher s mound for pa political office. this week, he said, he wants to run for the senate against elizabeth warren up in massachusetts. he s coming here to make his case. this is hardball, the place for that, for politics. more stay per roll. more sit per roll.
opportunity to remind me and the voters of massachusetts. yes, if you re i want to thank professor warren claimed. professor warren s proposals and the criticism that you re hearing from professor warren, give it to professor warren, she ll spend them. the only person in this race who is hurting the middle class and wants to raise taxes is professor warren. the difference between me and professor warren. professor warren who is always take the first approach. give it to professor warren to spend. i hope you didn t do a drinking game. no, i remember after watching this debate exactly what her occupation was. i found that useful. as a matter of courtesy i refer to them as professor this or that. yeah, when i e-mail them. but in warren s case it s become a weird little epithet. a professor at harvard. we have to charlie, we have to sit through three more of these. i will perfectly stipulate that
