joe biden opens up while his 2020 foes appear at least in one poll to be closing in. in his second television ad just released in iowa, biden focuses on health care, by recalling personal family tragedies, including the deaths of his wife and daughter from a car accident and also his son beau's losing fight with brain cancer. have a listen. >> i can't fathom what would have happened if the insurance companies had said for the last six months of his life you're on your own. the fact of the matter is, health care is personal to me. >> and is this an outlier or a trend? a new poll from monmouth university shows biden's lead slipping, has him virtually tied at the top with elizabeth warren and bernie sanders. cnn's own polling still shows him with a large lead. is this a new strategy by biden in this ad going very personal on an issue that we know is deeply personal for the vice president? >> reporter: well, jim, it certainly is. the first tv ad that he released in iowa last week really focused on his electability argument. this is something that you hear him talk about o

biden, president. >> i'm joe biden and i approve this message. >> the biden ad hits on familiar top picks like electability and working with president obama. there is also imagery as you saw there from charlottesville which mirrors his campaign launch in the spring. the ad focusing on the economy, healthcare, two key issues that call for stable leadership. a clear shot at president trump, it all focused on electability with the polls, a point jill biden drove home last night in new hampshire. cnn has new polling on the 2020 race at the top of the hour on "new day." a couple lines that stand out, our allies can trust and your kids can look up to, and you can't help but wonder about that argument on healthcare, he is the one who wants to build on obamacare while, for now, his chief rivals want medicare for all. how important will that be and will some of them shift that stance in the weeks and months ahead? >> what i noticed about this ad it's very direct and he is certainly leaning on what happened in the past and what can happen in the future, but that direct sort of punch right in the fa

and i think that it's important that we point that out. >>> listen, joe, joe biden, joe biden's wife, making a strong case for electing her husband while she campaigned in new hampshire. she's acknowledging not everyone is necessarily all-in for her husband. but she said the electability argument, saying if the polls are consistent in showing biden at the top, that can't be dismissed. is jill biden right? >> well, i think she does make an important point. i also think that joe biden has the strongest message at its core, which is this election is about the soul of this country, and he makes the point that if donald trump gets another four years, we may not be able to retrieve and repair that soul. now, he's not the most -- he has not been the most powerful messenger of that. i think you can look at other candidates who have been out there -- elizabeth warren is running a tremendous campaign -- that have been creating more excitement. but i think biden has the message that democrats and -- not -- enough voters that went for trump last time are comfortable with. so i think electability

this is from candidate biden. quote what kind of leader taunts their own people as they prefair for a natural disaster? all this comes after the president yesterday repeated false claim that congress approved $92 billion in aid for puerto rico last year. okay, listen, the facts first. hooer on this show. cnn fact checker extraordinary points out congress has not approved $92 billion. that's a long term cost estimate. fema says $43 billion has actually been allocated. $13.8 billion has been spent. which is a long way from $92 billion. no matter how many times the president falsely claims that. and there's a trump administration plan to shift $150 million from fema's disaster relief fund. money that could be used for hurricane relief. to immigration crack down at the border wall. they're shifting money from disaster relief to immigration where the hurricane threatening. that is not a good look. a fema spokeswoman says they'll still have enough money. but acknowledge the challenge of responding to dorian on top of wh

that's a whopping 13-point drop for biden since june. but to be sure, this is the first poll of this cycle that puts the former vice president's solo front-runner status in any question at all and today his campaign is pushing back haufrd, citing the small sample size and large margin of error in the poll. but as we inch closer to the next round of debates, the question becomes whether or not this decline is an outlier or an early sign of what may be to come. we'll try to answer all those questions. here to share their reporting and insights, asma, michael bendinger, jeff zeleny and julie davis from "the new york times." jeff, i want to start with you in particular on the ad. we saw the vice president also tweeting out, quote, this ad wasn't easy for me. health care is personal to me, deeply personal. this was a deeply personal ad. it's a shift for him to some degree. walk me through that. >> this is something joe biden has talked about a lot on the campaign trail, why it's personal to him. he has told this story really for a long time.

biden evidently does. it seems silly to me, a lot of other candidates have come out and said he is a white supremacist. i think elizabeth warch tweeted it last night or this morning. so i don't know what he gains other than the fact biden sees himself as being a notch to the right of the left, woke, as phil would call them candidates and want to stay positioned in the center as a moderate. whether positioning yourself like this and the issue of white supremacy is appropriate or politically helpful, i don't know. but it seemed like a strange distinction for biden to make. >> again, that combined with the white versus poor and susan he also keeps referring to theresa may as thatcher. part of what has been seen as a successful trip to iowa for the former vice president, but does this continue to raise certain questions about him? >> look, it's all very on brand for joe biden, and what you see is what you get. a gaff-free candidacy was never an option. you know i've talked to advisers, supporters of joe biden

so biden is the clear front runner based on these numbers. one, against trump, but also against his democratic rivals. >> look, trump's number is very consistent. 38, 40, 39, 40, 40. that's about where his approval rating has been. he's not getting above that. that's a very dangerous sign for him heading into 2020. but let's talk about that democratic primary race, shall we. this is something important. there was that monmouth university poll that came out a few days ago that a press made a huge, big thing about. oh, my god, joe biden is falling to just 19%. i was skeptical of that. why? part of it is because we had a cnn poll conducted around the same time which had biden around 39%. a fox news poll had him at 31%. and this quinnipiac university poll shows him holding around 32%. again, another indication that monmouth poll was an outlier and biden is holding around 30. >> okay. spent a lot of money trying to get on the debate stage. what do the polls show? >> he does not at this particular point look like he's going to make it. here's why.

very important to, joe biden crushing that vote, 22%. it's this group helping joe biden and that's why leading by 20 points in the poll right now. >> what about the swing states? >> we're talking about the primary but also the general electorate. michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin, barack obama is a popular guy there. you can put him in there as a surrogate. and let's say those swing voters see you attacking obama because he's not too far to it left, they may think you're too far to the left you may lose in these swing states just like hillary clinton did. >> many of the candidates want to move away from obamacare. >> i think this is also key. would you rather build on the affordable care act or would you rather replace with medicare for all and start all over. democrats and democratic leaning independents overwhelmingly want to build on the affordable care act. it is a loser, a loser in the democratic primary. >> you're saying it's a loser politically, geographicically, demographically and on policy. >> i'm not lying to you, folks. the n

tonight, joe biden is -- let's talk to you, not about you. joe biden is tweeting this. i was surprised at all of the attacks on barack obama's error we passed bomb care and saved our economy from the brink of disaster. he was a great president. we don't say that enough. what is the strategy in democrats attacking his legacy? >> doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. joe biden is leading among african-americans, well over 50% of their votes right now in all the polls. a largely because he was barack obama's vice president. and barack obama's popularity is bar none in the democrat party. so, to force, to actually force joe biden to defend barack obama doesn't seem like a smart strategy to me. >> joe, let me ask you this, how do they attack joe biden's record without attacking -- because he was a part of the obama administration. you know, and if they do want to attack his record, it's kind of a back handed attack on the obama administration. are they damned if they do and damned if they don't? >> to some degree yesly. there's other ways. i mean, a generational, that we
