>> senator mccaskill and her democrat allies have a radical left wing agenda. >> reporter: he's a 38-year-old yale law school graduate who once clerk forward chief justice john roberts.

he's a conservative who has hooked himself to the president him in the white house. >> they did that because he said he'd go out and fight for our values and the things we believe in. i think he's doing that. so long as he's doing that, i'm going to be for him. >> is there anything you disagree with him? >> i'd encourage him to keep a hard line on spending. the way congress has forced this outrageous spending on him is something that is not good. >> reporter: half of missouri voters are satisfied with the way things are going in the country. the other half are not. mccaskill leads among women. hawley is ahead among men. one of the key issues here has been health care. and as a result, the attacks have been brutal. some of the voters we met don't like it. >> it just seems like they're attacking each other. i'm not getting real answers. >> that muddies the water for me. you don't know what to believe and what not to believe. >> they are really mad. in fact, they're hopping mad about prescription drug price increases. they are frustrated at the idea

that the protections for pre-existing conditions and the other consumer protections that are in the lawhawley, whose youg son suffers from a degenerative bone disease opposes obamacare but still wants insurance companies to cover people with pre-existing conditions. >> the federal government should directly guarantee that folks who have a pre-existing condition get rates, premiums, deductibles at the same as everybody else. >> that's still mandating that people have coverage. >> no it just says those who have pre-existing conditions should be able to buy insurance at the same rates and prices as everybody else. >> reporter: on the brett kavanaugh battle, hawley says he would have voted for. mccaskill voted against. >> the last thing in the world we need is a supreme court to be a reflection of what congress has become. tribal warfare. >> was it tribal warfare in politics when you were first elected? >> not as much. all of the noise is generated on the ends of the sp in the

middle. >> senator mccaskill says you don't use the word compromise. if you go to it about represent the people of your state. you have to be willing to cross party lines. be willing to be independent. i'll work with anybody on any topic if it's good for the people of my state. >> mccaskill versus hawley here in missouri. republicans have a slim 51/49 majority in the senate, so every seat is critical, including this one here. nancy cordes is our chief congressional correspondent. she is here with us tonight. good to see you. as we said, every seat critical. why should voters nationally care about what's happening here in missouri? >> for all the talk about democratic enthusiasm and fund-raising this cycle, they drew a tough hand when it comes to the senate. you have ten democratic incumbents up for re-election in states like this one that president trump won in 2016. compare that to republicans who have only got one incumbent up for re-election in a state that

hillary clinton won. you have candidates like claire mccaskill who are known as moderates. maybe have a track record of reaching out to independent voters but they're still in the fight of their political lives. democrats have a shot at taking control of the house, but they could lose a seat or two in the senate. >> a similar thing is playing out in other states. this is a huge gauge of the test of the popularity of the president. >> sure. and his approval rating has fallen here in missouri and other red states but not by as much as it has fallen in the country overall. so he's still at about 50% here. that's why hawley, when you asked him where he diverges with the president, he was reluctant to create much distance there. the president still has it. >> mccaskill reluctant to criticize the president too much on some issues. nancy cordes, thank you very much. coming up next -- the first stefodis nds?

no, i can't believe how easy it was to save hundreds of dollars on my car insurance with geico. cool, huh? yeah. he plays football, huh? yeah. believe it. geico could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. i was on the fence about changing from a manual to an electric toothbrush. but my hygienist said going electric could lead to way cleaner teeth. she said, get the one inspired by dentists, with a round brush head. go pro with oral-b. oral-b's gentle rounded brush head removes more plaque along the gum line. for cleaner teeth and healthier gums. and unlike sonicare, oral-b is the first electric toothbrush brand accepted by the ada for its effectiveness and safety. what an amazing clean! i'll only use an oral-b!

vaccine. it found more than half believe their children can contract the flu from the vaccine and one-third believe the shot does not protect their kids from the flu at all. in addition, 28% believe that it can cause autism. infectuous disease specialist dr. william schaffner -- >> every pediatrician, family doctor, has to be out there convincing all of us that flu which is so common and so we get kind of indifferent to it is really a very fierce virus. >> reporter: the cdc is urging everyone older than 6 months to get vaccinated now. flu activity often begins to increase in october so they expect to see an influx of cases in the coming weeks. >> we cannot rely on the flu could tur into ahullabaloo in no time at all. >> reporter: of the 183 kids who died from the flu last season, 80% were unvaccinated.

parents can opt for the nasal mist this year. even if the flu vaccine is not a perfect match for the strain, it decreases symptoms and severity. >> okay, tara narula, thanks very much. still ahead -- we'll how does dove men+care stain defense go beyond sweat protection? clean. doesn't stain my clothes i don't get the underarm pit stains we couldn't have said it better ourselves try dove men+care stain defense. for anti-stain and anti-mark protection.
