excitement about biden. it's not obviously reflected in the press coverage but it's there in the polls. i think there are a lot of democratic voters out there who are just traditional democrats and to them, biden represents sort of the bread and butter of the party, obviously a continuation of the obama years which people in the democratic party look back incredibly fondly with nostalgia. it's not surprising that he maintains this lead. i will offer this one caveat, which is a fairly standard caveat here, national polls are not that important at this juncture. a lot can happen between now and iowa, and especially if biden were to slip in iowa in that first important caucus state. if that happens, it prompts a lot of people to rethink the race. a lot of them look at biden and say he could actually beat trump. if he loses a caucus, they have to have a recalibration. things can go haywire, but i do think people are pining for him to be struggling pmore. >> five months until iowa. always a good reminder of that.

biden holds the lead but still needs to grow it. warren has climbed to number two position, has been relentless. here is where the race appears to be heading by the time of the first big test that would be the iowa caucuses in early february. if biden's numbers starts to grow, look out. he is unlikely to be caught. but that's the big if. if not, the massachusetts senator will continue at her current rate catch the former vice president by the critical days of iowa. this is how it's headed in the race to take on president trump. it's a two-person race, and it's going to be close. the question i have to suppose is which of these two candidates, biden or warren or still possibly some other candidate can do the essential job most americans most want accomplished, not just winning in iowa and later in pennsylvania, but removing donald trump from his current address at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. and that's "hardball" for now. "all in with chris hayes" starts right now. >>> tonight on "all in" -- >> that was some crowd. >> thank you for all

joe biden gets his facts wrong, joe biden is missing a step? his response to me was one sentence, well, if i win that's how i change the narrative. >> but mike, that seems to be circular reasoning. that doesn't answer what you say to people about these other issues. my take away isn't it's age, it's the way he's always talked. you spent a lot of time with him over the years. >> this is how joe biden campaigns. the whole episode begins with a voter at this meeting in new hampshire asking him about mental health as an issue on the campaign. he answers it as he often does answer policy questions. not with a white paper from his staff, but with personal anecdotes. he talks about his experience traveling into war zones. this is not hillary clinton saying she was under sniper fire -- you recall this very well. he did travel there. we have full reports from his time at vice president. i think the biden campaign is bristling a bit at the presentation of this whole story as if he made the whole thing up. there was as you say chad workman clearly remembe

biden is going all in on electability. it's clear on the campaign trail. >> we can overcome four years of donald trump. it'll be difficult, but if we give him eight, i think we'll forever and fundamentally alter the character of this nation and we cannot let that happen. we must defeat him in 2020. frankly, that's why i'm running. >> and it's even clearer in biden's first campaign ad which started running in iowa today. >> we know in our bones this election is different. the stakes are higher. the threat more serious. we have to beat donald trump and all the polls agree joe biden is the strongest democrat to do the job. >> biden is not being subtle as you can see and at least that so far does appear to be paying off for him in the polls. new one out today from cnn, biden at 29%. that's up seven points since the first round of debates. that is nearly double any of his competitors. now that same cnn poll, 54% of democrats, a majority say it's more important to nominate a candidate with a strong chance of beating president tr

the biden campaign focusing on iowa. >> let's talk about this. there's criticism from people that say the message here coming out of the biden campaign is don't get too caught up in what you believe and changes you need. you have to get donald trump out of office if you're a democrat and you believe that. there are some people that think that's a message of selling out. >> well, as mike put it, the fact that joe biden's wife said you may have to swallow hard, accept joe isn't exactly a ringing endorsement. but we're not in normal times. there's a desperation among democratic voters to find the exact right candidate who can beat donald trump. since there's no possible way to know that, joe biden is grabbing that mantle, saying i'm that guy. in normal times, electability would be proved by what you do and say. he is selling it on its face. you see in the cnn poll, it is working. he stayed up there consistently in the lead. he dropped here and there. you're seeing the plunge of kamala harris, we thought was on ascent. >> much of her gain came from t

it definitely hurt biden's standing. you can see a bit of a dip in biden's polling after the first debate in june. but you see the further we got from the debate, the better things looked for him. in fact, biden clawed back and came into last night's debate as the front-runner, again, by a pretty wide margin. while most people believe biden was better than the first time around, he did not have the sharpest performance. he was maybe a bit steadier, but not particularly forceful and lacking the command that you might expect from someone with his years in public service and the front-runner. so the big question before democrats as they think about who they want to nominate to face donald trump seems to me, or one of the big ones is this. do you want a guy you might trust and have affection for and who is closely associated with the last great democratic president, a guy you might think can win thanks in part to the goodwill he has built up over the course of a long career, or do you think it takes more than that? do you wa

for biden. they feel that they have to vote for joe biden as the centrist candidate to keep somebody from the left who they feel is unelectable from getting the nomination. so, reverend al, i actually agree with jill biden's approach. it's realistic. the democrats' party has a wide swath of candidates. and you may like pete buttigieg, you may really like beto o'rourke. but who should you vote for? i think that's what she's saying and i think it makes sense. >> well, i think, mika, the chairman of the joe biden campaign is donald trump. because the more people want tre more they'll vote for who they think is best situated to get him out. and every tweet and every daily drama and trauma that he brings us through, he pushes people toward who they think is the likely person. i think the other people in the race have to convince the voters that i can win. most of us like one of the other candidates for one or two issues but there are flaws with all of them. we want probably to end up with the one tha
