3:04 am
these polls? >> reporter: scott, she herself has not said anything about them, but her aides insisted to us that this is what they've always predicted, that the race would tighten at the end. in fact, they've even begun airing ads in a couple of states that should be pretty safe for democrats, like new mexico and michigan. they say it's not a sign that they're getting nervous; it's simply a sign that they've amassed a pretty big war chest and this is their last chance to spend it. >> pelley: and, nancy, what do we know today about the f.b.i. email investigation? >> reporter: well, we know that f.b.i. agents at quantico in virginia have begun electronically sifting through the hundreds of thousands of emails that they say are on anthony weiner's laptop. they believe that the number of emails belonging to huma abedin numbers in the thousands, and they've actually built a pretty sophisticated software program to weed through them, using keywords like "classified" to try to condense the emails to those that they believe could be relevant to the clinton
3:05 am
read before-- a process they say could take days before they even begin actually reading the emails, scott. >> pelley: they're trying to figure out whether there's any classified information that passed on hillary clinton's private email server. major garrett, trump is making hay out of clinton's problems, but the f.b.i. is looking into his world as well. >> reporter: that's right, scott. the big topic is russia. the f.b.i. spent many months this summer looking into possible connections between donald trump, those in his political inner circle, or his businesses, with the russian government or russian oligarchs. in the end, the f.b.i. found some smoke, but not much fire. there are also reports that former trump campaign chairman paul manafort is under preliminary f.b.i. investigation. but he assures me, scott, ther is no f.b.i. investigation. one thing the f.b.i. did conclude is, the russian government is more interested in disrupting the democratic process here in america, than in
3:06 am
>> pelley: and how's the campaign seeing this final week of the race? >> reporter: well, scott, to answer that question, you have to understand the trump campaign models differently than anyone else. they see five or six points that other pollsters do not see. where do they find it? low-propensity voters, voters who haven't showed up before. they believe there are two or three points there, that these people are going to surge to the polls unexpectedly. they also expect republicans to come home in the final days, one or two points there, and then maybe one point of psychological peop finally convinced he's going to win. that's why they believe, in battleground states and new states they're putting on the map, they can win this race. >> pelley: we'll see a week from today. major garrett, nancy cordes, thanks very much. >> today, a weeklong manhunt in oklahoma has stopped.
3:07 am
down. but not without a fight. >> reporter: dash-cam video shows an oklahoma state trooper driving and firing his assault rifle as he chased murder suspect michael vance sunday night. a police helicopter captured the chase from above, showing him barreling through a checkpoint during the rolling gunbattle. at one point, vance, who police say was armed with an ak-47, got out of his truck, using it as a shield as he kept shooting. troopers fired back. eventually, he was struck and killed. vance had been on the run for more than a week, after police say he killed two relatives, shot and injured two officers, and taunted authorities with a facebook video. >> what's up, y'all? letting you all know, look, this is real. see? that's a gun. that's the real deal. >> reporter: police got a break sunday when someone spotted vance camping out in rural western oklahoma. he opened fire on a sheriff who tried to pull him over, launching the chase.

3:13 am
of this. >> reporter: 75-year-old david stanger says the f.b.i. review confirms he's making the right choice with donald trump. >> the fact that they opened up the investigation tells me that there's more things that she's done, that we don't know about. >> reporter: neighbors are displaying their support with political yard signs. james gillespie, a democrat who campaigned twice for obama, is switching parties this year. >> a lot of the corruption that i saw in hillary clinton is coming out in the news now, and it's a big part of why i'm not willing to support her. >> reporter: back at the restaurant, kim chappelle thinks trump is unelectable. >> i couldn't on good conscience vote for donald trump. i just couldn't do it. >> reporter: early voting began here in ohio nearly three weeks ago, scott. so even before the controversy broke on friday, more than a million ballots had already been cast, statewide.

3:15 am
i can't-- you know, we can't handle that kind of increase. >> reporter: she also favors trump's tax plan with across-the-board cuts, the biggest for the wealthiest. clinton's plan would raise taxes on the rich. >> i understand that they're wealthy and they make a lot of money, but i also understand that they worked really hard for that money, and if they have to pay more taxes, it has to go somewhere. it's going to come down to me. >> reporter: across the county, in bellevue, ohio, richard stegman has a very different view. you' a clinton? >> oh, gosh, yes. >> reporter: stegman owns the victorian tudor inn. >> all right, ladies, here we go. >> reporter: a b & b he bought right before the recession. >> i was this close, so close, to actually losing everything. >> reporter: he credits the president's policy with turning the economy around and thinks clinton would stay the course. on the economic front, what do you like most about hillary clinton? >> well, i think it all goes under the umbrella of her
