all right. we have seen a turn in things in the election and we must discuss. new national polling from abc news and the washington post shows it s working. donald trump, a commanding lead over the gop field, beating second place rival ben carson now by double digits. his numbers holding steady, high despite or perhaps because of controversial rhetoric against accepting refugees from syria and supporting surveillance of muslims and more in the united states. let s discuss cnn political analyst and presidential campaign correspondent for the new york times, maggie hitch and political commentator errol louis. look at the numbers. the numbers do not lie.
honduras now. look, there are many ways for bad people to get into the country. it s just another statistic to show you how strict the vetting is. president obama has said he would like to bring in another 10,000 migrants this year. only 2,000 are in the process, because it is such a strict process. there s a lot of vetting. they have to be referred by the u.n. high commission. there s a lot of checking that goes on. so, this goal of 10,000, we re not anywhere near it, yet. does any other group that comes into this country through immigration receive a vetting that these refugees do? i don t think that they would. i think that this country, syria and iraq right now, you ve got to think they re getting the most strict vetting that s out there. the answer according to the state department is no. because of the problems they had with the iraq refugees, and they did have problems. they had people coming in for the wrong reasons, they weren t properly vetted, they couldn t identify

iranian jail for nearly 500 days. donald trump back on top of the polls. new numbers from abc news and a washington post poll shows trump holding his ten-point lead over ben carson among republicans. but the front-runner is under fire once again claiming he saw people in muslim areas of new jersey celebrating as the world trade center towers came crashing down. that has been wildly debunked. he also appeared to justify the actions of some of his supporters who got physical, really beat up a protester at a trump event last week, saying, quote, maybe he should have been roughed up. well, perhaps you have never seen isis. in fact, you never have seen isis this close. cnn takes you within miles of the isis headquarters in syria. what is life like in that terror stronghold? we have a cnn exclusive you do not want to miss, next.
