now to the breaking news overnight. two los angeles county sheriff officers critically wounded in an ambush, shot point-blank through their patrol car window. abc's zohreen shah joins with more. good morning, zohreen. >> reporter: good morning, eva. this morning the suspect who ambushed two los angeles deputies in compton last night is still on the run. surveillance video shows a man dressed in black walking toward the deputy car holding out a gun, shooting multiple times and running off. the deputies were parked sitting inside their vehicle. it would appear to be a well-lit area near the compton metro station, very close to their own sheriff station. they were alert enough right after the shooting to radio in their own help. their department tweeting both are still fighting for their lives. they are in critical condition. those deputies were identified as a 31-year-old mother of a 6-year-old and 24-year-old man. they were both sworn in 14 months ago according to the sheriff. now the president has tweeted about the incident and the fbi is also offering its help with

finding the suspect. whit? >> alarming story. all right, zohreen, thank you. now to politics, the fires, mail-in voting and of course the coronavirus all now flash points in the campaign. according to a new abc news/ipsos poll, only 35% asked approve of president trump's handling over the pandemic. 65% disapprove. for the latest on the campaign, let's go to abc's andrew dymburt. in washington, d.c. andrew, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, whit. it's really been a busy few days for the trump team here trying to clean up some of the president's remarks from the coronavirus to mail-in voting. meanwhile, his opponent joe biden unloading on the president, accusing him of lying to the american people. this weekend, president trump heads out to nevada, holding another signature in-person rally with no social distancing and few in the crowd wearing masks. >> the democrats are trying to rig this election because it's the only way they're going to win. >> reporter: it's a sharp la crowds his events reg bidena

due to coronav recently started more public appearances. the democratic nominee wasting little time attacking trump, calling his events reckless rallies. the biden campaign also responding to a new politico report alleging that trump's officials are interfering with cdc reports stating the administration has put political optics ahead of safety. >> i wanted to always play it down. i still like playing it down. >> yes. >> because i don't want to create a panic. >> reporter: biden blasting trump for this interview with bob woodward. >> he said he just didn't want to worry people. meantime, we're approaching 190,000 dead. >> reporter: tmpryg to clarify those remarks by inar waron and prime minister w churchill in the fight against nazi germany. >> he also spoke with calmness. he said we have to show calmness. >> reporter: as the race for the white house hits the

homestretch, trump's facing backlash on his message on mail-in voting. after tweeting, urging voters in the critical state of north carolina, to follow up on polling sites even after mailing in their votes. the twitter flagging his tweet for violating its civic integrity policy. the north carolina attorney general josh stein pointing out, voting twice would be a felony. while urging voters to not do what the president directs. now voters in north carolina can track their ballots online. as for those allegations of cdc interference, a spokesperson for the department of health and human services says that pandemic policy is driven by science. eva? >> thank you. the government facing a challenge on another front. colorado's secretary of state announcing her office filed suit against the u.s. postal service. this is over a mailer she says contains misleading information.

jennif jennifer griswald joins us live. good morning to you. let's start first, overnight, a federal judge responded to your lawsuit, temporarily barring the u.s. postal service from continuing to send this mailer. what about the mailer has you so concerned? >> thank you for having me on. that's exactly right, you know, as secretary of state it's my job to make sure that coloradans have the right voting information. and there were two things on the mailer that were inconsistent with voting in colorado. first, the mailer urged people to request a mail ballot. in colorado, we send a mail ballot to all registered voters and we actually asked voters to stop returning them through the mail eight days before election day, and instead take them to a drop box, and the mailer had inconsistent messaging on that also. >> many people have already received these mails, isn't the cat already out of the bag? what are you hoping will happen here? >> well, it's very unfortunate. we were alerted that the mailer would go out on friday. so we just learned about it, we filed a lawsuit friday night.

we haven't had confirmation yet that every coloradan received the mailer. but i do think it's important, again, as secretary of state, just to make sure that coloradans and other voters situated in the same situation have good voting information, and in colorado we believe in easy access. you just register to vote and then you're sent a mail ballot and you can return it to a drop box, by the mail or go vote in person, and we want to miake sue that message gets out to coloradans. >> let's talk about the president's tweet we just heard in andrew's piece, to the people of north carolina to quote, make sure your ballot counts, sign it and send in early, go to the polling your location, to see if it was counted. if not, vote. you actually responded to the president tweeting, this is encouraging voter fraud, and i will refer you for prosecution if warranted. are you concerned about voter fraud and the validity of this election? >> well, i have total confidence

in our election in colorado. we're considered the safest state to cast a ballot in today, and we also have one of the most successful elections in the nation especially during a pandemic. eva, i want to share with you that my mom's a nurse and she's been working to save lives on a covid unit. vote by mail which we do in colorado is like wearing mask. it allows for accessible elections and it allows for social distancing during a pandemic. i'm fully confident in our elections in colorado. but it's shocking in 2020 to have to inform the president and last week, it was informing the u.s. attorney general, that it is illegal to vote two times, and i really encourage him to stop urging americans to commit voter fraud. we have a good system, and folks should really rely on secretaries of state for election news. >>

much. dan, over to you. >> eva, thanks. there's so much going on. let's bring in our chief anchor george stephanopoulos who's going to be hosting "this week" later this morning. good morning, sir. we're hearing so much about mail-in voting, we just heard democrats upset about the republican leadership of the u.s. postal service and then, president trump overnight again saying that this is going to be a lighted election. we all -- those of us that are watching, we all want a free election, and fair election. how do we sort through these competing claims? >> let's talk about voter fraud, in every piece of evidence shows there's no widespread evidence of voter fraud. every once in a while you see some kind of fraud. but for both mail voting and in-person voting, but it's infy any tes mall. but what the real concern is, because there's going to be so much more mailing vote this year, that voters can be disenfranchised. because their votes don't get to the poing plac i eye not cote appropriately. the other thing that we have to watch for this election, because a lot of the early votes, mail votes won't be counted until

after the polls closed, you could have this disparity where say, president trump is leading in some states in in-person voting, but all of the mail vote is out, that would not be counted for several days and show that he didn't win. a state. that would lead the president to say, that's not fair. that's the concern of a rigged election and the perception of a rigged election. >> it could not only be an election night, but an election weekend. also could be an election week with a lot of discontent and mistrust. let me ask you more in the present moment here, whit mentioned this earlier. there's this new abc news/ipsos poll out this morning showing the president's approval handling of covid-19 at 35%, more data here, two-thirds of the country say the president acted too slowly. they distrust what he's been saying about the virus. how can the president change this dynamic, and how important is it to him? >> that's the question, only seven weeks left until the

election and it seems like these views of how the president handled the pandemic are kind of built in right now, and they're getting worse not better because of the revelations we saw last week in the bob woodward book. but what the president has to hope for in the coming weeks is that progress is made towards a vaccine, that the number of cases do come down, the death toll continues to come down. at the same time, dan, we are only days away from that death toll hitting 200,000 americans. >> a grim, grim number. george, thank you very much. really appreciate it coming in on a sunday morning. tune in later this morning to "this week." george will be talking a about the wildfires with the governor of washington and win of the u.s. senators from oregon. plus, senior advisers from the trump and biden campaigns will be talking about the latest in the presidential race and on tuesday night, at 9:00 p.m., george is going to moderate a town hall where uncommitted voters will have a chance to pose questions directly to president trump. george, thanks again. whit, over to you. turning now to more on the coronavirus pandemic, medical professionals looking with concern at the approaching flu season and the possibility of a

dangerous new wave of covid-19 cases, those two things colliding at the same time. abc's trevor ault has more. >> reporter: this morning, healthcare workers across the country gearing up for a potential second brutal wave of covid-19. >> waiting for a big surprise and we're preparing ourselves. >> reporter: in chicago, more than 800 nurses on strike at university of illinois hospital demanding patient limits and more ppe. >> day care operators have ratios, right? you can't have more than eight or nine infants. dog kennels have ratios. why can't hospitals have ratios? >> reporter: in nearby dupage county, the rate of infections quadrupling since the start of summer, in part because of younger people infecting older family members. with an outbreak erupting at michigan state university, every local student now being told to quarantine. . county health officer calling it

an urgent situation, but elsewhere, parents are feeling the crunch. >> it's just been a heart-wrenching decision trying to find the balance between the two. >> reporter: britain -- brinley mosley is a hospice nurse, but with her kids' classes moved online she has to cut back her hours and her children are still suffering emotionally. >> i feel like it's safer for them to be in school. >> reporter: while in queens, new york, middle school teachers at i.s. 230 won't go in the building, opting instead to teach outside after a fellow instructor became infected. and with at least 22 teachers testing positive across the city, the teachers union in new york city now threatening to delay the start of the school year. >> we're going to keep their children and their families safe. we're going to keep ourselves safe as well. >> reporter: and dr. anthony fauci says he's at least somewhat hopeful with vaccinations and health measures in place, a lot of americans might be able to avoid the flu this year. we know some summer camps that avoided covid-19, and said

illnesses were down across the board. that was at least some hope of that happening across the board. dan? >> nice to see some mentions of hope on this morning. trevor, thank you very much. let's get it back to rob who's on the ground in pensacola, florida, tracking sally. rob, good morning once again. good morning, dan. it's turning out to be a beautiful morning on the north coast of the gulf of mexico. just to our south and east, it's really been a wet one. these are pictures out of key west. these are street flooded with over 9 inches of rainfall there. miami beach also seeing wind and rain from what was a tropical depression, now a tropical storm, sally. now in the gulf of mexico, and now we expect it to strengthen even more with those warm waters. here's one of our model runs and how slowly we think it's going to approach the mouth of the mississippi river, and that's never a good thing for storm surge, for wind obviously and for rainfall, and this is just one of our models. it may not be done with the area. so wednesday, maybe thursday, maybe not even until friday, so flooding will be a huge concern.

pa paulette, that's a cat 1 or cat we're on to the "s" storm. it's been an incredibly busy hurricane season. it's not letting up. see you in a few minutes. back over to you. >> it's hard to believe we're already on "s" and the season is not even over yet. rob, thank you so much.

well, an exciting come-from-behind finish at the u.s. open. after losing the first set to victoria azarenka in just 26 minutes, naomi osaka fought her way back to win this year's title. this gives the 22-year-old her second u.s. open title and third overall grand slam championship. osaka used her time on the court in her seven tournament matches to call attention to racial injustice wearing a different mask for each match, each bearing the name of a black victim of racial violence. >> what was the message that you got was more the question. i think the point is to make people start talking. >> sports lends ligends like len james and billie jean king congratulating naomi on twitter. and civil rights attorney ben crump who represents the families of three victims named on osaka's masks commended her for raising her voice. >> she's fun to watch and she's using her platform to promote change across the country. >> just 22 years old. >> yeah, absolutely.
