S. I. S. Is defeated in iraq, that you will return home with the knowledge you gained here in just a few minutes, a deeper look at europes refugee crisis. What is driving the growing anti refugee sentiment taking hold in some European Countries coming up. Now to the Iowa Caucuses. Democratic and republican candidates are making their final push for votes on monday night. It is now in full swing. The register released its predicted poll in what is considered the Gold Standard of predicting victory in iowa and it shows a slim lead for Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders with 45 of those polled voting for clinton, 32 for sanders. Martin omalley is in third place with 3 . On the republican side it is predicting victory for donald trump 28 , ted cruz with 23 and marco rubio third with 15 . Al jazeeras chief Political Correspondent joins us. Michael, what do you make of these results . Any surprises there for you . Reporter i was saying earlier i think that the biggest supplies for me is that ben carson, even though he is in fourth place, is Still Holding 10 of the voters in that poll. That means that his vote could go elsewhere or he could start attracting other voters and making himself possibly in third place. Its hard to see, but ted cruz, marco rubio and donald trump all want a piece of what they see as a crumbling campaign. This really just confirms what we have seen on the other side. We see a tightening of that race. A lot will come down to where and how many of the Bernie Sanders supporters are willing to take that passion to the caucus. It seems even anecdotally that a lot of them are ready to do that before we talk more about the candidates, lets talk about the import or lack there of, of the Iowa Caucuses. It is a myth that it picks president ial candidates, but not really. Correct . Right. Fist, the myth first of all, the myth is that if youre in iowa, it means youre invinsible and indestructible. It does put some people on the political map. I dont think we had heard ben carsons name or seen this kind of a surge from Bernie Sanders were it not in a state like iowa where he can be so accessible to so many universities and white liberals who make up a big part of democratic voting block here. The Democratic Caucus and the Republican Caucus dont necessarily see winners. You had mike huckabeeing win it and. It is about taking people out of the race. It may not do that here as much this year. You may seem mike huckabeeing, perhaps, Rick Santorum leave the race on tuesday, but youre not going to see a big exodus from this race until after New Hampshire and maybe even after South Carolina we could even see the winner of the caucus in a different state of delegates come the state convention. Reporter thats how it used to be. The republicans this summer changed those rules a little bit. So its going to be this time that what you got in the caucuses is not going to matter when they go to the district, nor to the state convention. It changed this year. Thats why the republicans are counting on this as being indicative of who the voters want. Its no about that but the momentum that some people can take out of iowa. If ted cruz up set did donald trump he could take that further lets talk about the New York Times, its endorsement for Hillary Clinton obviously significant for her, but on the other hand she is dealing with the whole issue of those emails whilst she was secretary of state. Reporter thats exactly right. It remains to be seen how important newspaper endorsements are. Campaigns like to talk about them. They did certainly hold a lot of sway in past elections. John kerry got the endorsement here of the register when he was running in 2004. It favor him a huge bump going into the race, but that was then. Now people dont rm on that as much. The stories that the New York Times is running about those emails probably has more of an impact than the actual Editorial Board saying they entors Hillary Clinton. John kasich got that endorsement which is not what republicans want. Today he says he doesnt mine when anybody says something nice about him but thats not something that they want to get with john kasich in Single Digits i suppose any mention at all is a good mention. Talk to me thats true talk to me about Bernie Sanders. Did anyone see this coming two months ago . He is in a statistical tie with a margin of error of 4 with this latest poll. He is, indeed. His surge here is surprising. He has been holding a lead in New Hampshire for quite a while. What people are wary of is that his campaigning has been done in three or four different places, mainly college towns. Johnson county where the university of iowa is, huge crowds, lots of passion and firsttime voters. They only make up 21 combined of the Democratic Caucus. He needs to spread out. Hillary clinton thinks she has covered those places by campaigning throughout the state. Yes, indeed, it is surprising to see him as close to Hillary Clinton and to also be seeing a little bit of history repeating itself here in iowa eight years after it did the same with obama and Hillary Clinton here. A big lead that just shrank how was Donald Trumps ground game . Reporter i think the grounds game, of course, is something that you want to talk about with donald trump. He does not have the kind of organization that other campaigns have. He is banking on something that the others dont, which is that celebrity factor, that wellknown factor. The event for veterans the other night, a lot of people talking to me saying they like him because he is like nobody else across town debating right now. They dont care if people are knocking on their doors or getting at much literature from him, they like what he is saying and they like that he will stand up for people in a way that they havent seen a politician to do that before. It remains to be seen how that goes, but a loss here could be devastating to that campaign counting momentum going the rest of the way. So the circus as it is being called is fun to watch thank you for your excellent reporting as always. Tomorrow night in our sunday night look at the week ahead religion and the 2016 campaign, the role of the faith in the race for the white house. It is the scandal that will not go away for president ial candidate Hillary Clinton. Her use of the private server during her time as secretary of state. Yesterday the state Department Said that 22 of the emails found on that server are so sensitive they will not be released. Al jazeeras correspondent has more. Reporter the Hillary Clinton campaign is calling for the release of those top secret emails knowing that theyve been marked top secret that will never have them. The stories do not add up. One year ago when it was revealed she was using a private email server, we were told there was nothing sensitive on those. In fact, now the state department itself says 22 emails contain closely guarded government secrets. Her republican opponents are seizing on this saying that further investigation should be done as to whether the former secretary of state broke the law Hillary Clinton is disqualified from being president. She is disqualified. This thing with her emails is a big deal. Just yesterday they couldnt release all her emails. Do you know why . You read this. Because some of the emails are so sensitive, so classified that they cant release them. It would be damaging to release them. What else do we need to know . I can tell you this, she thinks she is above the law. She believes that she is above the law reporter are the problem for the Clinton Campaign is how again the issue of trust for Hillary Clinton has consistently scored low in the minds of voters. There is two days before the nominating contest here where many people have made their minds up and may not be influenced by these new revelations. At the same time, however, it is expected to have an impact on the next nominating contest in New Hampshire where she trails as well as when it comes to the general election where her republican opponents are certain to seize on this controversy and say that this is a reason she, if she is the democrating nominee, should not be president president obama will visit a baltimore mosque this week in support of religious freedom. The president will meet with Muslim Leaders on wednesday at a time when public sentiment in america against the faith seems to be growing. The president has called on americans to reject anti muslim comments made by president ial hopefuls, particularly donald trump. This will be mr obamas first president ial visit to an american mosque.
