Koreans do military parades they take years to practice, and clearly ours are not going to measure up. This is new day with alisyn camerota, and john berman. Welcome to our viewers in the United States and all around the world. This is new day, and this morning we have a race on our hands, the brand new cnn poll revealing how a debate can make a big difference. Former Vice President joe biden once commanding lead over the crowded democratic field pretty much disappears, shrinking at least 5 points. Polls show senator Kamala Harris and elizabeth warren, they are surging. It is those senators who appear to have the momentum in the 2020 race. This cnn poll was conducted after the first debates. Thats where harris had her breakout moment, challenging joe biden about bussing. 41 of democrats and democratic leaning independents say that harris did the best job in the debates, and 30 of potential democratic voters now say harris is the candidate that they most want to hear more about. Joining us to talk about all of this, we have david challion, and laura barone lopez, political reporter for the politico, what a stunning poll, david, so give us your top line take aways here. Yeah, i mean, we should always remember this is one poll and a snapshot in time of what the race looks like now, but as you were saying alisyn, clearly among those who watched the debate and followed news of the debate, declared Kamala Harris the person who did the best job far and away, and it makes sense that we see movement for her in this poll. I would also note that joe biden while clearly had a very unsteady debate performance, remember, our poll from april to may from when he announced, he was already heading down, and now this shows even further erosion, so clearly his trajectory since the day hes gotten in this race has not been in the direction any candidate wants to go. Can he shore that up, of course he can. The one thing this poll shows is he has the strongest hand to play with voters who desperately want to get donald trump out of office. Joe biden is seen as the one who can do that. Which candidate has the best chance to beat trump, 43 say joe biden, and then you have to go all the way down to 13 to find Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris. Then elizabeth warren. Laura what do you see in these numbers . I see somewhat of what daniel was saying is that this is what, two months after the may poll or so, and its drastically different field. It sthohows how wide open the r is, and another month or two months, it could dramatically change again, and we could see someone eclipse by then or sanders jump back up and so theres a lot of time for these candidates to establish themselves. That being said, there is a bit of a crunch time were entering starting right after the first debates ended and its going into august 28th, and thats for candidates to make the cutoff for the third debate. And theres a lot of parameters that they have to meet now. They have to reach 130,000 donors and they have to make 2 in four polls and thats a really big hill for a lot of candidates to climb. We may see more of them drop off, and that could also dramatically change the field. Sarah you have helped big republican candidates navigate their way through this point in races. What do you see from your Vantage Point . The best thing that joe biden had going for him was the inevitabili inevitability argument. Thats gone. This is a four way race. There are concerning nuggets for warren and harris as well. Not only the electability numbers, which democratic voters said is their number one issue, so to speak. Among the issues, look at whos best to handle the economy, and harris is in Single Digits again. That will be something that she needs to nak over the next make over the next month, next debate, not only i can do well at debates but i can beat donald trump and i have a good handle on these issues. Theres plenty of time, but there are still lots of space there in all of these numbers. It was interesting, it wasnt just the economy. It was health care and climate change, shes in Single Digits or at 10 in all of these issues, yet she had big giant gains in the polls. David chalian, if you want to see where the gains are coming from, it does seem to be among black voters. Among white voters, Kamala Harris has drawn nearly even to joe biden. Hes at 20 , shes at 17. Joe biden leads among black voters over Kamala Harris at 36 to 24. He was up close to 50 in most polls a month and a half ago. So thats where shes making gains and if she continues to gain there, this race could get even closer. Yes, no doubt about that. That is true. I also think you are seeing her make gains. That moment on the debate stage wasnt just about africanamerican voters, shes making gains in the sort of White College educated liberal set of the democratic nomination race. What you see when you look inside these numbers is that a real candidate profile. Joe biden is sort of owning the moderate conservative democrats in this race. The nonCollege Educated voters, by the way, the candidate in history in modern, recent history in the Democratic Party that owns that segment of the democratic electorate tends to actually emerge the winner. The white liberal College Educated segment of the electorate, the bill bradleys, howard deans, you know, that kind of candidate, so i do think youre seeing her get some of that support. Its why the africanamerican vote is going to be so decisive and critical in this race. You are right, if she can actually dig further into bidens lead, that will do her enormous good. Whats so interesting is that she wasnt exactly talking about policy, the moment she got so much attention where she challenged joe biden, it was about bussing, which is not on anybodys top ten issues so i think people are giving her a lot of stylistic points, she was prosecutorial, that she was assertive and took it directly to him, but she wasnt also spilling out any solutions for our segregated communities. Well, she was challenging biden on the aspect of whether or not he was for states rights in regard to bussing and arguing that theres a role for the federal government to play in ensuring that bussing to des desegregate schools was something that was enforced and biden was on the other side saying he didnt believe the federal government should have played a role that the department of education should not have been involved in doing that. So she was very effectively prosecuting that case against him. But she also made it very personal, and thats something that her campaign has talked that she has struggled to do so far throughout the campaign, and shes trying to shift and get a bit more personal, tell stories about her life, realizing that thats a more effective way to connect with vote skpers and we that in that first debate. What does joe biden need to do . We have some historical precedent. I remember in 2008, john mccain started plummeting in the polls. I was the only reporter riding through iowa with him on a bus, you know, he was lonely, but he managed to dig himself back up there. So is there perhaps, you know, a guide post there for joe biden . If you are in the biden camp right now, the last thing you want to hear is comparisons to john mccain in 08 even though he ended up with the nomination, because what a flog that appeared to be. I think that the biden camps number one thing right now is stop the bleeding but youre right, longterm theyve also got to think about cutting down their burn rate, not spending all of the money that they have so that if the worst Case Scenario happens and you end up plummeting down you can survive through the long haul, make it to january and february, see if other candidates fall and have a reemergence but thats, nobody wants to be in that spot. David, whats going on with Pete Buttigieg. In the latest poll hes at 4 , and this is again after the debates and so many people thought that he had moments that resonated as well. And he had that block buster fundraising day. He certainly did. The Second Quarter raising nearly 25 million, perhaps only joe biden is going to outraise him for the quarter. I think actually the two are tied. The question becomes how does Pete Buttigieg spend that money on an organization in the early states on getting his message out there to actually convert that financial power house position that hes in into his place in the race. You see in our poll, john was looking at the africanamerican vote, Pete Buttigieg got 0 in the africanamerican vote. You cant win or be truly competitive in the democratic nomination race with 0 among after can american voters. Its the core base of the party, so that is homework assignment number one for Pete Buttigieg. Thats a stunning number. That is a stunning number in a National Poll to be at 0 among black voters in a democratic primary field. Its difficult to pull that off, i have to say. They have a lot of other choices. I know, i know. When you have a long history with joe biden or Kamala Harris really impressed you, you have 24 choices. On the issues, laura, and this is also something we see going forward, one of the hot button issues was health care, government provided Health Insurance for undocumented immigrants and the second debate, candidates were asked would you support that, almost all of them raised their hands, yet, the polling tells us that nearly 60 of voters dont support that, so it gets to this issue. We have been talking about it for days, are democrats debating themselves into a position that may not be favorable for a general election . Right, so a number of the immigration advocates as well as democratic operatives i have spoken with about this particular point so that theyre hoping pretty much that immigration isnt going to be the number one priority issue for voters that it isnt going to be the one thing that voters cast their ballot on. Because of that, if democrats are effective and whoever the nominee is effective in putting forward an immigration plan, they dont think theyre really going to lose that many voters by having this be an aspect of that. All right. Friends, thank you very much for walking us through this fascinating poll. Thank you, guys.

Joining us in a few minutes, the los angeles reporter who follows the angels, shell tell us what she knows about tyler skaggs. Thats coming up. So what is the truth about the conditions inside facilities Holding Migrants at the border. We ask a congresswoman who went inside yesterday. Thats next. Whos got the time to chase around down dirt, dust and hair . So now, i use heavy duty swiffer sweeper and dusters. For hardtoreach places, duster makes it easy to clean.

Limu gets a little confused when he sees another bird that looks exactly like him. [ loud crash ] yeah. Hell figure it out. Only pay for what you need. Liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty we like drip coffee, layovers and waiting on hold. What we dont like is relying on fancy technology for help. Snail mail we were invited to a y2k party. Uh, didnt that happen, like, 20 years ago . Oh, look, karolyn, weve got a mathematician on our hands check it out now you can schedule a callback or reschedule an appointment, even on nights and weekends. Todays xfinity service. Simple. Easy. Awesome. Id rather not. Congress toured the facilities at the southwest border yesterday. As you know, reports have varied on the deplorable conditions inside and whether those have been fixed. New york congresswoman alexandria ocasiocortez described what she saw and heard. Theres abuses in these facilities. Theres abuse. This is on their best behavior and they put them in a room with no Running Water and these women were being told by cbp officers to drink out of the toilet. They were Drinking Water out of the toilet, and that was them knowing a congressional visit was coming. This is cbp on their best behavior telling people to drink out of the toilet. U. S. Border patrol says the accusation of migrants drinking out of toilets is completely untrue. Joining us now is democratic congresswoman norma torres, she toured three border facilities in texas yesterday. Congresswoman, it is so great to have you here sharing what you saw with your own eyes in these facilities. Surely women are not drinking out of the toilets in these facilities. Did you see that . I did not see women drinking out of the toilet. However, that is exactly what these women said to us, that there is no Running Water within the cell except for a flushable toilet. They were also using reusable throw away cups, not plastic, but paper cups. You could tell that they had been used for maybe a couple of days because of how they looked. Those are inhumane conditions for adults, but can you imagine seeing babies, seeing toddlers in those conditions. The world ought to be outraged about what is happening here within our nation and i call on the world to act and demand better. Last week, when we heard about the deplorable conditions of children who there was apparently an influenza outbreak, they were sick, they had dirty diapers, there werent adults around. There was adolescents taking care of children. We were told that those conditions had been fixed. Do you see progress yesterday when you went in, has anything been fixed . I did not see progress. What i saw were jail cells, cement jail cells where children are being kept alone in grouplike settings. Children that are sitting and sleeping on the floor with an air conditioner going full blast wearing nothing but the dirty clothes and being covered with a aluminum type of sheet. Imagine your child having to live under those conditions. It is inhumane, it is embarrassing and what we need to do is we need to send every single one of these Border Agents back to training, because they certainly havent been versed on what is humane and inhumane. Congresswoman, before we get to that facebook group, which we will talk about how callous so many of the comments are on there, but first, congressman Juaquin Castro show got a camera in. Our cameras are not allowed in, and he got video of some of the cells and you can see overcrowding conditions, women on the floor, women draping themselves in thin blankets, you know, obviously these are not conditions that anyone would want to endure, but congresswoman, as you know, theres been an influx of migrants, the situation is overcrowded. The officials the
