brand-new this morning, a cnn poll that is a huge flashing warning sign for president biden. support sagging among democrats. plus, the one republican who holds a clear lead over him and it might not be who you think. the flipping has begun. a worker at mar-a-lago strikes a deal with a top investigator overseeing the federal documents probe. a closer look at what the man known as trump employee number four has to offer and how much it might hurt trump's case. pennsylvania authorities are still on the hunt for the inmate who has been on the run for a week now. that is despite multiple sightings and even his escape being caught on tape. i'm kate bolduan alongside john berman and sara sidner. this is cnn news central. an incumbent democratic president losing support among democrats. voters including democrats with concerns about his age, his handling of the economy, and his son's alleged criminal activity. that is what president biden faces this morning as he prepares to leave for a major trip abroad. his approval rating is near an all-time low at 39%. nearly 70% of democrats say they want someone else running for president. 58% say biden's policies are making economic conditions worse. and that is just a small snapshot. with me now, cnn political director david chalian. these are tough numbers. >> it's a snapshot of this moment, 14 months out. it shows the work ahead that president biden and his team have if he's to be successful in re-election. you mentioned the approval rating at 39%. i want to put that in context of where that stacks up against his modern era predecessors. i want you to see here. biden is hanging down here with trump and carter. guess what? trump and carter, they didn't win their attempts at re-election. that is a danger zone there for the president. you noted the economy piece. i mean, look at the sour mood of americans. only 30% of americans in our poll say things are going well in the country. 7 in 10 say they're going badly. >> that's with inflation slowing down, with jobs numbers good, with economic growth good. he still or they still, americans still think things are going badly, besides the economy, what are voters saying? >> you mentioned it at the top, it is the age factor. we see 49% of democrats, we asked an open-ended question, what concerns you about joe biden and his candidacy? age number one. then we asked more broadly to the american people overall in this poll, are you seriously concerned that biden's age could negatively impact his ability to serve another full term? three-quarters of americans are seriously concerned about that. when have you seen three-quarters of americans agree on anything? this is a real problem for the president. current mental and physical competence. 73% of americans say seriously concerned that his age has a negative impact on that. and that husis age has a negati impact on the next generation's concerns. >> it's an issue he'll have to deal with in the campaign and the white house. let's talk about how he stacks up against the potential republican field. >> yes, so take a look. our first time this cycle doing these potential general election matchups. and what you see here, joe biden is in a margin of error nearly tied race with every republican except one, nikki haley, the former u.n. ambassador, is an outside margin of error six percentage point lead, 49% to 43%. it's pence, tim scott, ramaswamy, chris christie, all within the margin of error. no clear leaders in this race. he's going to be in a real battle. >> in polling terms, all these are exactly the same, and there's one thing that's not like the other. >> nikki haley, and i'm sure her campaign will start to make hay of this. this comes off the positive debate performance where you saw her try to broaden out her appeal a little bit, which may be having positive impact. i want to show you on energy and motivation, 61% of democrats or democratic leaners tell us they're extremely motivated compared to republicans at 71%. there's a deficit here that the biden team is going to need to make up in terms of motivation. >> it's different than it was in june. republicans are getting more motivated, democrats not so. david chalian, great to see you. kate. let's talk more about just this. cnn political commentator errol louis is joining me now, political anchor for spectrum news and host of the you decide podcast. take the numbers and set them aside for a moment. what is the trend that you're seeing in this snapshot of a moment? >> well, look, the trend is that people are upset. elections are always about the future. and so if you're the oldest president ever to have served and you have been in politics for 50 years you can make a lot of claims buyou don't necessarily come across as the guy who's going to lead us to the future. that's a big hurdle for the incumbent president. it also says to me that inflation is really taking its toll. we know because we hear from the economists, the business reporters, that inflation is coming down, but it's a rate of change. prices are high, and they're not getting higher, not necessarily getting lower. they're not getting high as quick of a rate, but they're still pretty high. and people are feeling it. >> because i was going to ask you what, what a campaign and a -- what a campaign would think is more concerning right now. the fact that voters think that biden, any candidate's policies, have made the economy worse in this moment. or how concerned democrats are about joe biden's age. >> age is the issue that really is haunting this campaign and this candidacy. this is something that we have seen before. when he was running for re-election, ronald reagan had to encounter the same thing, although he was a good deal younger than joe biden is. we never had that old of a president before, and people were really concerned. and so this campaign and this president, they're going to have to fashion a response to it. when you dive into the poll, people are not saying so much that they dislike the policies or even they dislike the candidate. they're saying they're concerned. something like 60% are saying they're concerned he won't have the energy to either finish and properly and vigorously campaign or won't have the energy and stamina to govern properly. those are absolutely valid concerns. and i'm not sure what the answer is going to be. we have never been here before, but joe biden has to answer that question. >> on the hypothetical matchups, there's one bit kind of inside of this that i think is really interesting, which is biden and trump are within the margin of error. independent voters, they break in biden's favor 47% to 38%, as do suburban women, 51% for biden, 44% for trump. is that in terms of kind of the makeup of where the support is, or where there's room for more support, is that the saving grace for biden in this moment, do you see? >> that's very much the good news for joe biden and for the democrats. i mean, democracy -- demography is destiny in a democracy and the fastest growing groups of voters are college educated voters, younger voters, communities of color, so that's where joe biden according to this poll is doing better than almost all of his republican challengers. so that's what he's going to rely on to try to go back to those communities, get them excited, get them to the polls, and every day that passes, there are more in those categories. younger people, college educated people, women. than there are any other group. so he's going to really try to ride his strength. the key is to get people energized, motivated, and out to the polls. >> i truly cannot believe you pulled it off or attempted it, you like genius of demography is destiny in a democracy. that's some varsity stuff right there. errol, good to see you. this morning, we're learning a lot more about the trump employee who testified against him in the classified documents probe. according to a new court filing, special counsel jack smith struck a cooperation deal with the mar-a-lago i.t. worker they describe as trump employee number four in their indictment. trump employee four is a witness who claims he was told, quote, the boss wanted surveillance footage deleted. cnn's sara murray is with us now. talk to us about this deal, sara. >> reporter: yeah, this is interesting because we had known something was going on beiend the scenes with taveras, this i.t. worker, because he switched attorneys and now it's clear what was happening is he was changing his story. he was now agreeing to cooperate with prosecutors under the agreement that he would not face charges as part of, again, this mar-a-lago documents investigation where trump and a couple employees are facing charges. as you pointed out, we learned from the indictment that taveras is in conversation with carlos de oliveira about what to do about the security footage at mar-a-lago, de oliveira is explaining the boss wants the servers deleted and you can sense in this exchange the hesitation from taveras who says he doesn't know if he has the authority to do that, he doesn't even know how he would do that. again, this could be a very interesting cooperator for jack smith's team, not necessarily about direct conversations with donald trump, but about conversations with other employees around mar-a-lago at the time about efforts to carry out donald trump's wishes, john. >> some of the most compelling television yesterday besides this show right here was watching this georgia hearing play out before our eyes because there were cameras in the courtroom for the first time. and actually, there was a fair amount laid out for everyone to see. what were the most significant takeaways? >> yeah, there was a decent amount of angz and we saw what was a very decisive state court judge in that hearing yesterday. kenneth chesebro and sidney powell, two of the attorneys who worked on allegedly helping donald trump overturn the 2020 election results, didn't want to go to trial together. the judge decided they did not make a compelling argument and they would both move ahead to trial in october of this year. but he sounded pretty skeptical about the possibility of the district attorney's office getting what they want, which is to put all of these 19 defendants in the case, including donald trump, on trial in october this year. he said it seemed a bit unrealistic. he raised the issue about mark meadows and other defendants who are trying to move their case to federal court. we also learned from the district attorney's office a better sense of what their case could look like. they said that it would take at least four months to lay out this case, that's excluding jury selection, and it would include roughly 150 witnesses. so a sprawling case at trial to go along with what was this sprawling indictment. we also heard from former president, you know, the most famous defendant in this case, in another interview, saying that his team plans to put forward motions to dismiss in this case. we have not seen those motions yet but they still have some time. >> chesebro and powell, late next month. everyone else, not so much probably. sara murray, great reporting. thanks so much. and sarah. >> with us now is former federal prosecutor from the southern district of new york, jessica roth, to discuss some of this. let's start with this testimony, this flipping, if you will. how damaging might this be to donald trump's case? obviously, he is the target here, the ultimate target here as the former president. >> according to the allegations in the superseding indictment, which is the one that included for the first time mr. de oliveira, the property manager at mar-a-lago, this individual, taveras, who apparently struck a nonprosecution agreement with the special counsel, has direct information about contacts with nauta and de oliveira, including requests he delete the surveillance footage and the statements saying the boss wants the surveillance footage deleted. understood to be in context and reference to mr. trump. so he doesn't appear to have had direct communication with trump. but he does offer evidence of communications that would likely be admissible in court as a statement of a coconspirator of the president's against him. and i think the fact he's cooperating really strengthens the special counsel's hand vis-a-vis nauta and de oliveira. although it was clear that they were providing information, the fact that he's now entered into an agreement shows he's working in a more cooperative, steady, consistent fashion with the special counsel and the special counsel has agreed not to prosecute him if he agrees to continue cooperating. he helps increase the odds that perhaps one of the other two defendants named with trump might themselves flip. that's what we're really waiting to see in terms of the next document no that could strengthen the case. >> one domino has to fall. somebody has to be the first, so he is at least one of the first to decide to change attorneys, his attorney, by the way, was also nauta's attorney, and now he has decided to change that. i do find it interesting because he retracted, according to the doj, prior false testimony. that could have been a charge against him, correct? >> yes. if he in fact perjured himself before the grand jury when he said he had no information about any efforts to delete surveillance footage or any incriminating information in that investigation, if he said that under oath, which according to doj he said the first time he testified, that constitutes a federal crime of perjury. we haven't seen the nonprosecution agreement that was referenced in yesterday's filing but my understanding is he would probably be promised not to be prosecuted for that perjury and perhaps any other crimes that were uncovered in the investigation in exchange for his truthful cooperation and testimony if needed at trial against the others who have been charged in the mar-a-lago case. >> and he has to be able to do that throughout, because the minute that stops they could then bring charges. >> that's the leverage now that the special counsel has against him. >> i want to further move to the case in georgia. you have this enormous trial. i have seen, i think, the most number of people i have seen tried is five all at once. and each of them had at least one attorney, sometimes two. 19 people including the former president, who you know will have more than one attorney in there, i don't even know how they're going to fit them all. 150 witnesses we're hearing from d.a. fani willis, that's the number of witnesses they have. these are the 19 you're seeing on the screen who could potentially be going to trial, potentially together. is this possible to put this all over a four-month period? >> well, the four-month period i think everybody at this period acknowledges is unlikely in terms of the entirety of the case. there is president for having what's known as a mega trial with this many people, but it's extremely rare, very unwieldy and not preferred. but there are a couple things that are likely to happen between now and the trial date, including we might see some dominos fall in this case as well. we may see people enter guilty pleas, they may flip. we also may see some people removed to federal court. we're waiting on the judge's decision in federal court. it's too soon to say whether in fact there will be 19 or 17 even if we take out the two who seem to be going first in october. i think it's too soon to say what other decisions need to be made about cutting it down into multiple trials. >> we have seen fani willis do a mega trial, if you will, with 12 people when it comes to the teachers situation there in georgia. but this is a bigger case with a lot more people who would be testifying. thank you so much. i appreciate you coming on and getting us through all that. there's a lot to get through. kate. coming up for us, an american is trapped in a cave more than 3,000 feet below the earth's surface. and now the new details coming in of the complicated rescue operation under way to save him. plus, first, he scaled a prison wall to break out of prison. and now, he's been on the run for a week. the big question this morning is how could this happen at the same facility twice in one year?

that is just incredible video showing how he was able to escape. >> reporter: yeah, truly astonishing video right there. it was a shock to many of us when we first saw it yesterday afternoon. since cavalcante escapes the prison behind me last week, there have been two big questions. first, where did he go? second, how did he escape? yesterday, we got that answer. again, and more than we expected. let's go through this video we have been playing for you all morning. this was released by local law enforcement. you can see cavalcante has his arms against one side of the wall, his legs again the other and he crab walks to the roof. he pushed through multiple layers of razor wire and then ultimately escaped the prison. you mentioned that tower guard. law enforcement officials said yesterday the tower guard did not see or report the escape, which is why law enforcement officials say cavalcante got about an hour head start on the run once he got out of that prison. there's also another important note here, though. this escape, law enforcement officials said, is very similar to another escape at this very prison that happened four months ago back in may. well, prison officials said after that escape, they put in security measures to prevent any future escapes but clearly that did not work. so now to that second big question, where is caval kaunl kauntdy at this time? police are still searching, this area has expanded even into parts of neighboring delaware county. it's been challenging for a number of different reasons. certainly, the terrain, but listen, this manhunt is still ongoing and police are hoping that it gets to a peaceful outcome and that they don't have to use violence to take this inmate in. sarah. >> we know the area and the heat causing more problems. danny freeman, thank you so much for staying on the story. john. former vice president mike pence says donald trump and those like him are leading republicans down, quote, a road to ruin. and the influx of asylum seekers affecting the first day of school here in new york. we'll tell you how. like indulgent memory foam, and ultra-conforming innersprings, for a beautiful mamattress, and indescribable comfort. for a limited titime, save up to $800 on select stearns & foster® adjustable mattress sets. lactaid is 1 100% real milk, just without the lactose. delicious too. just ask my old friend, kevin. nothing like enjoying a cold one while watching the game. who's winning?

>> well, let's start, two things. one, i think there is a tremendous difference. in 2016, donald trump came to conservatives and said if you nominate me, i'll govern as a conservative. he came to conservatives and said give me a list of 21 judges to put forward, he said give me your pro-life platform. those were implemented in the four years of his presidency that are hallmarks of conservatism. i think he governed as a conservative. as he runs in 2024, he has not said intelligent me what you would like to see, instead he said these are my grievances. i expect you to fight for me, which is a very different platform than he ran in 2016. as it relates to the former vice president, i think he's also been a traditional conservative. it's been a hallmark of his career. even during his first years in congress when he opposed republicans looking to advance the size of government, he stood in the well of congress and was the first to oppose no child left behind expansions. >> but the administration also added significantly to -- >> it certainly did. that's despite the tremendous ac accomplishments, that one of the biggest detriments of the administration, the fact we contributed to the significant debt the united states faces. >> and this isn't just a thought exercise, because i am curious. if, as you say, they governed together, they governed -- they governed unconservative principles when in office, if that is the case, what's to say that donald trump if given the chance to be in office again, he wouldn't do the same thing and wouldn't govern as a conservative? >> it doesn't appear he's surrounded himself with the same conservatives. you look at the administration and secretary of state, cia director mike pompeo, people he surrounded across the cabinet, people inside the administration. it doesn't appear those are the same people he's reaching out to this time. instead it appears to say help me fight my grievances against the department of justice, stand with me against the onslaught he's facing legally. >> one of the imitators that i know that pence was speaking to in this speech, includes vivek ramaswamy, who is running. his response to the speech, you know, conservative versus populism is it's not 1980 anymore. it's painful to watch old republicans recite slogans they memorized in a bygone air yeah. it's like they stepped outside of their deloreans and awoke from a deep slumper to realize the world doesn't care about what it did 40 years ago. it's about the survival of the american experiment itself. what do you say to that? >> not going to take much advice from vivek. the reality is vivek himself has acknowledged he hasn't even voted in presidential elections until 2020. he didn't even vote in 2016. >> i think donald trump said the same thing. >> he wants the support of republicans. he's never even voted in a republican primary in his life. so i think for him to give commentary about the conservative movement or where it's been is not something that's really going to generate a lot of interest on our side. >> one thing, nikki haley said something interesting this week. she said, and here is her quote. the american people are not going to vote for a convicted criminal. do you believe that is the case? >> i think there's a lot of voters who have concern about department of justice and our criminal system today. i also probably agree with her. i think the reality is a conviction is something that carries more weight than an indictment. for a lot of american voters it would be a bridge too far. >> if you look at the recent cnn poll, you add all of the republican candidates, the support they have, you add them together, including mike pence. that still doesn't get enough support among republicans in polling so far to best donald trump, the front-runner. he's at 52% is what we have. which means you need to win over trump supporters in order to win the primary. do you think mike pence can win over a trump supporter? >> i do, kate. >> why? >> because i think the reality is he was there for the administration's accomplishments. many voters look and say here is what i appreciate what was done during the four years. >> but marc, they stood at the capitol saying they wanted to hang mike pence. >> that's the difference, i don't think that's reflective of the vast majority of donald trump supporters. i think that's reflective of a spall percentage of people who rightfully i think are being prosecuted to this day. >> even as mike pence is saying donald trump is among those leading the party to ruin with his views? >> i think he's basically saying is populism and progressivism lead to the same path of ruin. a lot of people who have flirted with populism as opposed to stickingconservatism, it's not just donald trump. >> you're not in the market to give donald trump campaign advice. do you think he should show up for the second debate? >> i think all candidates should show up. i think i'll leave his campaign to his advisers. >> to state the obvious. good to see you. thank you for coming in. i'm really interested to see what else mike pence has to say about this going forward. john. hurricane lee on a runaway path to becoming a monstrous category-5 storm. where it is headed and should the northeast be nervous?

we see it getting closer to the leeward islands but it's still pretty far out in the atlantic. >> i see a healthy and organized hurricane that's only going to gain strength rapidly in the next 24 hours. this is hurricane lee, 80-mile-per-hour winds. you can see how far east it is of the leeward and windward islands. where does the official track call? it calls for that rapid intensification to happen. we need to increase our wind speeds with the hurricane unless lie 35 miles per hour in less than 24 hours. and that is exactly what is forecast. you can see by friday morning at 2:00 a.m., it will be a major category 3. then it continues to infenciint from there. look at this, even though the cone does not include the weward islands and puerto rico, if they get outward bands, we can get tropical storm force bands well away from the center of the storm. the big question, where is this storm going after the leeward islands? well, it is all about this particular area, all of the computers and models and the consensus we look at agree there will be this northward turn. when it happens, that's very crucial on who sees the downstream impacts along the eastern seaboard. it will see a breakdown in the high pressure, and it's going to help steer it north and whether or not that brings any kind of impacts to the east coast, that's still up for question. one thing is for sure, there will be large waves that could cause concerns at the second half of next week. >> yeah, and you also look at the size of the storm and look at the size of bermuda and it's terrifying to see how close. they will get winds and rain from it. thank you so much. appreciate it. i'm looking at the spaghetti models three times a day just hoping it takes that right turn there. that's a big storm. all right, today is the first day of school in new york city. and the city will see more new students than usual. 19,000 migrant students have registered for the start of this school year. education officials here have been preparing for this as the city struggles with the influx of asylum seekers. last night, mayor eric adams warned against some effects this influx could have. >> never in my life have i had a problem that i did not see an ending to. i don't see an ending to this. i don't see an ending to this. this issue will destroy new york city, destroy new york city. >> all right, polo sandoval joins us live. at least today, we're talking about children. >> reporter: john, you hear that level of frustration in the mayor's voice. that's because the nation's largest school system has faced this test before. of course, talking about the start of last school year. however, this year, it will be more challenging given the sheer number of migrant arrivals that exceeded 100,000 this past month. many are children. you mentioned that 19,000 number, the rough estimate of the total number of migrant children that are expected to start school today or are starting school today. per some of the numbers, about 500 of them were registered just since last june. when you hear from the department of education, they'll tell you they're confident there's plenty of room for these students, there have been about 120,000 families in recent years that have left the system so that could provide more space for these new enrollments, but one of the big questions here is, you can have all the space in the world, but if you do not have those personnel that speak the language of many of the students, there is certainly going to be an issue. that's why new york city department of education has really been working to try to boost those numbers according to what we have been hearing, about 1700 bilingual teachers, about 3,400 english as a new language instructors. we learned in the last hour that is a number that will grow significantly to at least 500 as it will offer tenure to about 500 teachers that are already in the system. they just haven't been using that license to actually teach english as a second language because we have heard something time and time again from officials at the local and certainly at the state level, those students have certain linguistic needs. >> this is a real challenge. an unexpected challenge, but these children are embraced. you heard from the representative of the teachers of new york, once they step foot in our door, they're our children. we'll do whatever it takes to make sure they get the best outcomes. language is going to be a challenge. we can't always find someone in the exact language a student was raised in. >> and adding to that looming challenge, at least adding to that challenge, a looming bus driver strike that the doe is having to deal with. these combined factors, john, that the doe is facing, as it is up against this extreme test with millions of parents, children, and certainly staff members in schools like the one here in williamsburg, brooklyn, hoping it bill come together. >> polo sandoval, thank you so much. kate. coming up for us, a cnn exclusive. the new allegations connecting the deep ties and links between elon musk and the war in ukraine. that's ahead. feeling sluggish or weighed down?
