5:31 pm
>> quijano: good evening, i'm elaine quijano. this is our western edition of the broadcast. with the election just nine days away, a late october surprise has shaken up the race. a new "washington post" abc news poll shows hillary clinton was one point ahead of donald trump among likely voters. the race apparently tightened this weekend after fbi director james comey told congress he's reopening the clinton email investigation. cbs polling this weekend shows the political impact in key battleground states. for that we turn to errol barnett and cbs news election director anthony salvanto in washington. >> anthony hillary clinton has cten ahead in the vote estimate the entire election, any of that u anging. a if you look at the map today, she has a lead, even a slight one in enough electoral votes to win in november. but it is by no means certain. >> and of course the big news right now is the possibility that there are more clinton server emails that could be investigated.
5:32 pm
let's just quickly hear how the running mates are characterizing this today. to no one is above the law. wo the fbi director stepped rirward, kept his word to the congress and the american people and told us there is more information and investigation is now reopened. he i think it's now pretty clear that the fbi director doesn't know that there is anything. these could be duplicates of what has already been analyzed. they could be thing things that don't have anything to do with hillary clinton. >> but there is still a lot of tanswered questions here. what impact might it have on the vote. >> the bulk of voters wouldn't change because partisans have largely already decided. there are very few unsure voters out there. hillver, what may happen is that it may hurt hillary clinton's osility to go beyond her base or pull in some of those voters who had been unsure or on the fence rather than costing her support that she already has. >> now donald trump has struggled to galvanize republican support in reliably red states. what is new on that front. >> right. e arizona we find him in a
5:33 pm
tight race and narrow lead with hillary clinton. this is a state that usually does go republican. sie story is actually similar in many other states. trump has a lot of republican support but not quite enough. so that's one of his challenges in the last week. >> his other challenge is winning over his must-win littleground states like north strolina. >> right. here we see in north carolina hillary clinton with a slight lead. this one will be about turnout. when we look at the early vote and many voters have already cast their ballots here as in many other states, we see that among registrants, democrats are tracking ahead of republicans. so donald trump does have some work to do. >> more than 20 million people have cast their ballots already. we don't know exactly who they voted for but what other clues can we see in that? he democrats in many places look rgke they are on pace with what they want their targets to be. however the election day vote, that might put more pressure on .rganizing for the trump campaign.

5:35 pm
>> she had a-- sources tell cbs news that abedin had no knowledge of her emails being on that device. >> it is not clear whether these new emails contain classified information or if they are just copies of things the fbi has orready seen. director comey's decision to announce this development, even he acknowledges may not be s gnificant has ignited a political fire storm. >> we never thought we were going to say thank you to anthony weiner. t donald trump praised comey's decision at an event in las vegas. >> the fbi is reopening their investigation into the criminal and illegal conduct of hillary clinton. >> reporter: trump previously criticized the fbi and its decision not to bring charges claiming the system is rigged. clinton did not directly address the issue today, but at a rally last night, she demanded more information from the fbi. >> voters deserve to get full and complete facts. and so we've called on director awmey to explain everything
