BALDWIN: CNN has just released new national poll numbers showing Joe Biden leading the Democratic field by double digits. He is at 28 percent. Elizabeth Warren has lost some of her footing from October in a close battle for second with Senator Bernie Sanders at 17 percent and 14 percent, respectively, and South Bend Indiana Mayor, Pete Buttigieg is rising a bit up to 11 percent. So, Michael Smerconish is with me, CNN political commentator and host of CNN's "Smerconish" and Michael, happy day before Thanksgiving, friend. Nice to have you on. MICHAEL SMERCONISH, CNN POLITICAL COMMENTATOR You too. Thank you.</s>BALDWIN: So let's start with Joe Biden because it seems with, you know, each debate, whatever flub, analysts keep predicting Joe Biden's demise but he continues to stay strong, maintain a lead. What do you make of that?</s>SMERCONISH: It's interesting that there really hasn't been a significant shift away from Joe Biden despite some of the negative reports that you're referring to. If I'm Joe Biden, the former Vice President Biden, then my glass half full says look at this, nationally, I remain the front runner. The glass half empty analysis says we don't nominate based on national surveys, take a look at what's going on in those first few states and he has got a problem in both the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary. Here's how I see the issue. Should he lose the Iowa caucus and the New Hampshire primary, will there be a momentum shift? Because I must say, Brooke, with the holidays coming, a lot of folks just aren't paying attention. But they will start paying attention when Americans go to the polls. Can he sustain back-to-back losses, still go into Nevada, still go into South Carolina with a head of steam from being the front runner?
