5:33 pm
>> reporter: taking the fight to the battleground states the clinton campaign is releasing this new ad. >> when the pound goes down, more people are coming to turnbury. >> reporter: painting rival donald trump as unpredictable. >> in a volatile world, the last thing we need is a volatile president. >> reporter: trump shot back, saying clinton is trying to distract what he called his bad distract what he called her bad judge call on brexit. the clash comes as a new cbs battleground tracker finds clinton slightly ahead in four key swing states. she's ahead by five points in wisconsin, by three points in florida, two points in north carolina, and marginally ahead in colorado. in all these states, clinton is seen as being more prepared to be commander in chief. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell addressed trump's recent dip in the polls. >> i think there is no questions he made a number of mistakes over the last few weeks. i think they are beginning to right the ship, it is a long time until november, and the
5:34 pm
burden obviously will be on him to convince people that he can handle this job. >> reporter: cbs news elections director anthony salvanto says ntth clinton and trump need to attract independent voters. >> the poll finds that independents who have largely been on the sidelines during these primary processes don't think any better of the republican and democratic parties for having selected their nominees. so both of these presidential candidates seem to have some work to do bringing more people into the process. >> reporter: and what's interesting, kristine is our poll also found voters still feel trump will do more to bring change to washington and feel he will do better with the economy. >> johnson: errol barnett, thank you. in what could be a major loss for the islamic state terror group, iraqi military officials say the city of fallujah is now fully liberated from isis. fallujah, about 40 miles from baghdad, has been under isis control for more than two years. elizabeth palmer is just across the border in syria.
5:35 pm
>> reporter: so far, the pentagon has not confirmed that fallujah is entirely isis-free. but even if there are a few ngtremists holding out still, losing fallujah is a massive and very public defeat for isis. it took the iraqi army just over a month but today the military said it was finally in full control of the last neighborhood in fallujah held by isis. and it gave much credit for the victory to u.s. air strikes. across the border in syria, isis also appears to be on the verge of another significant defeat. in manbij, where u.s.-backed kurdish and arab fighters are slowly gaining ground against ferocious resistance in this key town, which lies on a crucial supply line to the isis capitol raqqa. isis is clearly under enormous pressure across this region. but that doesn't mean that the syrian war is anywhere close to winding down.
5:36 pm
in fact, isis fighters have actually retaken territory from the syrian army in several areas this month. and the limited ceasefire declared in february has completely broken down. we spoke to a syrian general today who admitted to us that the only way to end this war is to craft a political deal that would involve both russia and the united states. but kristine, right now all the diplomatic negotiations are completely stalled. >> johnson: liz palmer in damascus, thank you. in sacramento california, a clash with a white supremacist rally has lead to multiple stabbings. a warning, the video is disturbing. this was the chaotic scene near the state capitol. counter demonstrators had vowed to shut the rally down. at least six people were hurt, and taken to area hospitals. in west virginia at least 24

5:40 pm
i think it hit me the hardest when we got to the smoke wall and i could see the fire on both sides of the road. i could see nothing in front of me. my mom disappeared into it. there was a telephone pole on fire. i didn't know if those cables were going to come down. and part of you just has to think, is this it? is this how this is going to happen? am i going to be trapped? >> reporter: the family just got word their home was saved but others weren't as lucky. so far more than 36,000 acres and at least 150 homes have been destroyed. frustrated residents vented to fire officials on saturday desperate for word on when they would be able to return. >> the look of devastation on these people's face, lady is sitting over there with oxygen tanks. everybody has lost-- i've lost everything. all i got is what i have got on. >> reporter: while some families will be allowed back into their neighborhoods today, not everyone will have a home to go back to.

firefighters found remains at this home behind me, possibly another victim. if confirmed, it is the third life taken by the erskine fire. what's really amazing is right next door, this home looks untouched. the fire jumped over it and continued down the road it just goes to show how random this devastation can be. kristine? >> johnson: mireya, thank you. sunday marks one year since the supreme court legalized same-sex marriage in the united states. the anniversary falls on a big weekend for gay pride in the u.s., with millions taking part in parades from san francisco to new york. the events also include somber tributes to the 49 people killed at a gay nightclub in orlando two weeks ago. demarco morgan is in lower manhattan. >> reporter: with some of the most colorful and decorative costumes anywhere in the world, and music to go along with every move, nearly two million
