iowa, new hampshire, south caroli carolina, nevada. if he wins all four, he s well on his way to being the republican nominee. reporter: he is well on his way, wolf and up until now, most of the pun dants, analysts and republicans have hoped that he was just a blip. i think that ever since he announced his campaign, people have thought that it was going to be just a blip, but frankly, what we ve seen is he has staying power. the kinds of leads the margins he has in these early states should worry every single other republican if they think that they have the time to catch up to him. i think republicans really need to guard themselves for the very real possibility that donald trump could be the republican nominee, wolf. more and more people are beginning to actually think that. anna, our poll also asked which candidate would best handle illegal immigration in the united states. look at this.
reporter: now, he also went after hillary clinton today. this one was on twitter going after them for the debate last night saying the debate last night proved that hillary is running against the b team. she won t be so lucky when it comes to me. so, wolf, i think the big question is what are we going to hear from trump here tonight? will he double down on these attacks on hillary clinton? or perhaps his new favorite punching bag bernie sanders? sara murray, thanks very, very much. trump clearly ahead in the polls in iowa, new hampshire, south carolina and nevada. those are the first four cont t contes contests. if he carries all four of those states that s a huge, huge deal. donald trump criticized for some of his harsh comments about women, but in an exclusive interview cnn s poppy harlow sat down with trump s daughter ivanka who spoke about this issue in her own relationship with her father. poppy is joining us now live. it seems like ivanka really opened up to you.
and they were sent on their way, wolf? brian, thanks very much. let s get some more right now with the president and ceo of the naacp. cornell, thanks for joining us. have you been in touch with jason gulsby, his friends, family, any of the principals hs family as of yet but i suspect that our washington branch has or will be, the naacp. what s your take when you see the video, you see the explanations, obviously there may be two sides to this story but it looks like this young man, college freshman, didn t do anything wrong. the police were pretty tough with him. yes. i want to know a couple of things. if this was the first video but not the last in a string, it might not be so disuturbing. but here s the reality. he s not a young tough textbook.
our political reporter sara murray is on the trail with him in richmond, virginia. sara, these new polls they tell a pretty dramatic story, don t they? reporter: that s right, wolf. it s a story of donald trump trounsing his competitors in some of these early states. let s start with taking a look at numbers in nevada. you see trump with a 38% support, a huge lead over ben carson who is at 22%. i mean, you look at south carolina it s another double-digit lead for trump. he s polling 36% support there compared to ben carson s 18% support. all of this must make trump feel like he can take a little breather from attacking his republican opponents because lately he decided to go after bernie sanders instead. today with an instagram video. the world is a dangerous place. we need a tough, strong leader. and it s not this guy.
