Mitchell: New Bloomberg Poll ‘Indication’ Clinton Campaign ‘in Some Trouble’

‘It has already been reported that the FBI thought they could recover some of the e-mails from the server, even though they had been deleted’

GUTHRIE: "Hillary Clinton's e-mail controversy [is] back in the headlines with a report now that the FBI has recovered e-mails thought to be deleted from the private computer server she used as secretary of state. NBC's Andrea Mitchell has more on that story this morning. Andrea, good morning."

MITCHELL: "Good morning, Savannah. Those new reports today that the FBI has indeed recovered both personal and work related e-mails from that private server. The FBI is investigating how classified information was handled by this account. Clinton told her lawyers to turn over the server last month after the inspector general for intelligence agencies asked for that FBI probe. It had already been reported that the FBI thought they could recover some of the e-mails from the server, even though they had been deleted. So, what is new today is that they are actually able to get them and are now sorting through what they believe is personal from what is work related. The Justice Department has said that Clinton had every right to delete the e-mails, but this ensures that there will continue to be a drip, drip, drip from this issue as Clinton tries to campaign. And there's a new indication today that the campaign is in some trouble. A Bloomberg poll just out this morning shows that Vice President, Joe Biden, who is yet to decide if he's even running and Bernie Sanders, are closing in on Clinton. She in this poll is at 33 percent; Biden is second at 25 percent; Sanders is at 24 percent. And Biden has a net favorability 10 points higher than Clinton among democratic voters in this poll. Biden advisers say he is likely to make a decision in the next few weeks in time to be on the stage next month for the first democratic debate on October 13th."

 GUTHRIE: "If he decides to run. All right."
