since the fall of hosni mubarak. polls are not closed. the vote counting is underway. expect results to be officially announced on thursday. jerry sandusky's defense will present this week, possibly tomorrow. his attorney is expected to argue the former coordinator suffers from a personality discorder involving low self-esteem that requires approval from other people. he is charged with 52 counts of molesting ten boys for more than a decade. now back to rodney king. his beating fundamentally changed los angeles and opened up a whole new race dialogue in america and as we just reported, king was found dead in his california home. his fiancee discovered them earlier this morning. >> right now, the preliminary investigation is indicating mr. king died of a drowning, however, the police department, detective bureau is

investigating the incident and when mr. king was removed from the pool, there was no obvious signs of trauma, however, there will determined once an autopsy is completed. >> now to california where paul is live at the home. it's got to be a shock to everyone out there. the neighbors. all this activity going on and no doubt, his fiancee, who found him. >> reporter: that's right, don. people here are just heartsick. they know rodney king as the good neighbor and somebody who would often go swimming every day, both for physical and mental therapy. this morning, a little bit after 5:00, authorities received the 911 call from his fi yan sai. two offers were immediately dispatched. they jumped into the pool with their clothes on. pulled rodney king out. they were unable to revive him.

rodney's fiancee is not a good swimmer. she tried to pull out his body. did not work. he was pronounced dead at a local hospital. you were talking about the neighbors here, pretty close knit community and they obviously like their neighbor, rodney. let's listen to what one of them had to say to us earlier. >> i was shocked. because of who it was. i thought you know he was one of those persons that you know would always be around. he's one of the icons that you would look up to because with the l.a. riot, he's the one that really stopped them, i think, by telling everybody could we all just get along, everybody just started getting along. >> reporter: now as far as this investigation is concerned, we have seen police pull out a lot of evidence and for what looked to be a marijuana plant and i should say to you that off camera, one of the officers told me they really have no idea what happened at this time.

because there were no signs of trauma or foul play, maybe hit his head, heart attack, certainly a possibility, but right now, police here unsure of what happened to rodney king, don. >> paul, thank you very much. during my interview with rodney king, we went back to the scene of the police beating and you can see that interview tonight. it's parking lot of our special report, race and rage. it airs at 8:00 p.m. eastern here on cnn. rodney king was clearly much more than a beating victim. he became the symbol of strained race relations across america and nick valencia looks at the legacy he leaves behind. >> reporter: it was this scene caught on camera that would turn rodney king's life in 1991, king led police officers from the l.a.p.d. on a high speed chase after leaving a friend's house during a night of drinking.

>> i had a job to go to that monday. i was on parol. i knew i wasn't supposed to be drinking. >> reporter: what transpired changed the dialogue on race in america. king, 25, when the incident happened, was nearly beaten to death. he was in surgery for five hours. he admitted he should have stopped the car. three of the officers involved were acquitted. the jury was deadlocked in a case of the fourth officer. the verdict sparked riots across los angeles and the united states. in l.a., fighters ran through the streets, looting businesses, torching businesses and attacking those who just happened to be in the wrong place at the the wrong time. at least 50 people were killed and $1 billion worth of property damaged. as the riots entered their third day, rodney king emerged.

in the years that followed -- >> you don't want to be a part of history. >> no i wasn't expected to get tossed in history like that. you know, unfortunately, it happens to us unexpectedly to some of us and i was one of the unexpected ones to survive through it. >> reporter: in his later years, he battled addictions to drugs and alcohol, never quite escaping the demons that caused his encounter with the los angeles police officers. >> nick joins us now here in studio and nick, you were living in los angeles during those riots and i remember doing this documentary and talking to people of korea town. they took up arm. a lot of the city was lost. a billion dollars in damage and countless lives. >> it was a really scary time and i can't say it enough and emphasize it enough. at least six days of rioting. i remember being in northeast los angeles with my family and

asking my dad if we could please move to las vegas because that was one of the closest big cities that wasn't really affecting by it. my area, not really a tough area gang presence, but we saw the effects, gra feety. we went to stock up on groceries because we didn't know what was going to happen. >> just to remind people, the beating happened a year before the riots and when those police officers were acquitted, of course, that set off those riots there. but lots of changes have been made in the los angeles police department. the department is much more representative of the community now and there are minorities and women who are now in the upper ranks of the police department and much of that came from the scrutiny the department faced because of the rodney king beating. >> as ugly as the incident was, there was a lot of good that came to it.

l.a. was able to stand on its feet. the people will never forget it. for me, it was a very formative experience in my life and something i won't ever forget. >> it was 20 years ago, did that documentary and now, rodney king, 47, died in his backyard pool. thank you. on to politics now. how mitt romney and president obama are overlooking -- as we look at live pictures of mitt romney in ohio. plus, greece's struggling economy forcing some families to abandon their children. a sobering report is ahead. it's very important to understand

they are, and it's a good voting group for republicans. we actually have a white male gap that obama has got to overcome. >> yeah. and that's why we're talking about this and trust me, i was at the iowa state fair and so your point is well taken there. >> steven, a new gallup survey finds the president pulling in just 38% support among white voters. is that a white voter problem? and you wrote about that this week. >> it is a big problem for president obama. i wrote this story because as you said as the outset of the show, everybody always talks about the latino vote, senior vote, soccer mom vote, but no one really looks closely at the the biggest block of all, which is still whites. about 70 to 75% of the electorate. when i started to look at those numbers in the polling, it shows that barack obama does have a

white voter problem. it's worse than it was back in fwagt. and let me say this. i actually believe, don, there's no question that in 2008 that barack obama's race was actually an asset. americans loved the idea of electing the first black president. i think that really helped him in the election. it was cool to be for barack obama. it's a little l bit of a problem -- let me put it this way. it's not as big an asset now because barack obama has a record to run on so you have more skepticism of white voters. the polling also shows that barack obama is doing unbelievably well with black voters. i've seen polls as high as 95% of the black vote r r for president obama. >> will the black electorate be as passionate about going to the polls? if that doesn't happen, i think it's going to pose a big problem for president obama. but it's interesting because last time you would think, barack obama is the president of

the united states. you would think he garnered most of the white vote and as i showed, he didn't. john mccain did. i want to also talk about something you mentioned a little bit earlier. you talked about you know, about people last time were proud to go to the polls and vote because of the idea of a black president. do you think some liberals have white guilt? i'm just being honest. and when they go into the polls this time, they may be reluctant to deny the first black president a second term? >> i think there's a little bit of that. the american people like barack obama. not just because of his race and being the first black president, but he's just a likable person. >> but did the economy outweight that? >> it does and i think that's the reason barack obama has a white voter problem. where the problem is most severe and i looked at the kind of cross tabulations in this polling data. there's a kind of white middle class anxiety out there and a

lot of white middle class voters did vote for obama in 2008, but they're feeling the the stress. they know a family member who doesn't have a job and the economic issues now are trumping these issues of well, it's cool to be for barack obama. >> i think it's a lot less about race, i think, than it is about history. four years ago, obama was a phenomenon. the historical moment. a historical opportunity. the thing is, you can only make history once. and he's made it. so now, he's no longer the historical figure. he is a gray haired president who's got a four-year record that he's got to defend and contend with. we're talking about two different barack obamas. he's not less black or more black today than he was four years ago. it's the historical component that i think is the determinant factor. >> the one last point. barack obama does have to get 40% of the white vote.

it's hard for him to go over the finish line if he doesn't get four out of ten. right now, he's at about 38%. he has some work to do. >> thank you. the struggling economy in greece creating a nightmare scenario for some parents. we'll tell you what they're being forced to do about their kids, next. dude you don't understand, this is my dad's car. look at the car! my dad's gonna kill me dude...

families who simply can't afford to look after their children. parents like cassie, single mother, unemployed and unable, she says, so care for her three children. we caught one of her rare visits. pleased to meet you. how are you? good to see you. giving up this family, she told me, was painful, but in greece's economic climate, still her best option. >> translator: it's really difficult. really tragic for a true mother to leave her children, but when you understand they are not at fault and deserve a future, it's better to make a move like this than have them beside you without even a plate of food. >> reporter: who do you blame for putting you and your family in this situation?

do you blame the government, the economic crisis? who do you hold responsible? >> translator: for me, it's all those who govern. they've all looked out for themselves instead of the people and the poor like us should be the responsibility of the state. ♪ >> reporter: but this is a terrible social plight of greece's economic crisis. even for its youngest, most vulnerable. the state can barely afford. matthew chance, cnn, athens. >> matthew. i spoke with king just last year. he says he was fortunate to have survived the beating. >> we did that, i just looked and then i went like that and one this way with my hands up. and so no threat. >> my conversation with rodney king just ahead. so you're out and about, you can pull it up on your cell phone or at work.

destroyed. 1,000 people have been evacuated there. it was just last year that i sat down with rodney king in his living room. he told me about his nightmares and regrets and walked me through what happened along a california road back in 1991 on a night that changed america. a city in flames. entire neighborhoods burned to the ground. now, two decades later, what's it like to be the man whose beating seen round the world ignited one of the worst race riots in u.s. history? do you still have nightmares? >> yeah, yeah, i do. >> what's a nightmare? you wake up like -- >> tossing and turning, sometimes, hearing the voices that was going on that night. get down, get down.

anger. i thought it made him look quite good. >> i want to, i get your point. i want to laugh about it, but when it happened as we were watching it in the news room, in the control room, even our reporters in the rose garden said they were stun by the incivility and lack of respect. >> it was completely impolite and you have to respect the the president of the united states. regardless of who it is and the reason you're respecting him is because of the position. because of what he represents. he's representing our entire country. whether you like him or not is not the issue. the fact that he's representing all of us and the position itself carries respect and should be respected. >> okay, so dean, i know that you wrote about this and i know that you were, you were very upset by it, everyone has been dancing around it. i saw many people on a number of different networks dance around it and i saw some people hone in on it right after. wasn't on this network and said did this guy feel he could do

this because the the president is black and i will ask you that question. >> you know, i think there's a campaign against president obama that i've never seen. it's not about having a push. this is a campaign to delegitimize the presidency and to me, i think race is a component. i'm not saying people were against the policies of president obama are racist and people saying president obama's an other. he's not american like the rest of us. he wasn't born here. i don't believe his college education. he's a muslim. to me, there's a racial component we've never seen before and it angers me because he's the president of the united states. not the democratic president or republican president, but the president of the united states of america. and having a congressman yell you're lying during the joint session of congress, no one's ever done that. conservative reporter yell out and heckle the president twice. item a comedian. you heckle me once, it's a mistake. twice, it's an agenda. he should have been deported.

deported. >> here's the thing that i think is interesting and having being in the workforce, i gree up in a family of all women, so i know the plight of all women sometimes deem ed as other and women in the workplace don't get respect and men will question women in a way they won't question men. i think there is an undercurrent, the same thing that's happening with the president. while people may not be out and out racist, they don't treat him with the same respect they would treat a white man in that position and that is simply because of the way we look at black or brown people in this country. it's no different than the way we deem some women. look at some women in the country. >> there's a history of discrimination against blacks. we had to have a civil rights act, we had to have the national guard accompany black students who go to school with white students in the south and just

today, a republican host in arizona called president obama the first monkey president. so if you're going to say race isn't involved, you're lying to yourself. these people, this campaign, it's clearly about there's a racial component. not only race is there and the only way we're going to heal, to get through this is to talk about it honestly. >> thank you very much. it has bb 40 years since the watergate break in that eventually forced president nixon to resign. now, the gate has become a symbol of something more. ahead, you will see why. don't forget, you can stay connected. watch cnn live on your computer. do it from work. just go to cnn.com/tv. for your attention. so we invented a warning.. you can feel. introducing the all new cadillac xts, available with the patented safety alert seat. when there is danger you might not see,
