is presented by toyota. let's go places. wel to "cbs morning news." it's going to be quite a week ahead. election eve. >> i'm excited about it. >> busy week. >> i'm very excited as well. americans will vote tomorrow in a midterm election that's largely seen as a referendum on president trump and his first 22 months in office. the president campaigned all weekend, holding rallies in georgia and tennessee yesterday. and today he'll go to cleveland, ft. wayne, indiana, and missouri to rally republican voters. his predecessor, former president obama, has also been on the campaign trail to try to fire up the democratic party space and he heads to virginia today. >> more than 34 million americans have already cast a ballot in early voting. that's an increase of more than 50% over the 2014 midterms. our cbs news battleground tracker found two-thirds of
7:04 am
voters think this election matters just as much as the 2016 presidential vote. another quarter say the midterms matter even more. we have correspondents across the country watching the most important races. and here in studio 57 we're joined by our own nancy cordes and anthony. we begin with major garrett at the white house. major, an important week, indeed. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. the mood here at the white house, edgy, uncertain, anticipation looking at senate races, a sense of dread about the house. white house advisers expect republicans to pick up two to three senate seats, possibly more. they know there will be losses suffered on the house side. the big question, will the president's frenzied midterm campaign schedule be enough to preserve the house republican majority? nobody here seems to know. >> i need you to vote for a republican house and a republican senate. >> reporter: at multiple rallies sunday, the president fears.
7:05 am
>> they want to impose socialism on our country. we will keep the criminals, drug dealers and terrorists the hell out of our country. >> reporter: a new cbs news/battleground tracker poll says seven in ten voters say their vote will be about president trump. seven in ten say they will vote to support the president. 38% say they will oppose him. >> for many people in the house it's hard to make those stops. >> reporter: before leaving the white house for two sunday rallies, the president focused on the senate as a protective barrier against a blue wave in the house. >> my primary focus has been on the senate. i think we're doing very well in senate. >> reporter: former president obama joined the weekend frenzy with a rally for joe donnelley. >> you get to vote in what i iman election of our
7:06 am
lifetimes. >> reporter: on that the two presidents, different in so many ways, almost agreed. >> i don't know if i rate it more important than the last i almost -- it's right there. >> reporter: but their partisan differences remain clear. >> they've racked up enough indictments to field a football team. nobody in my administration got indicted. >> the democrats want to turn back the clock, throw america in reverse and return power to a corrupt selfish ruling class. >> reporter: five people close to mr. trump or his campaign have been indicted. as was mentioned, a three-state campaign blitz today. the president's energy will not be questioned when all the final votes are counted. neither will his strident immigration rhetoric. >> indeed. the republican candidate in georgia's fiery race for governor now accuses the state's
7:07 am
democratic party of trying to hack into voter registration files. that follows repeated claims by democrats that brian kemp, who is also georgia's secretary of state, is trying to block voters who are likely to support his opponent, stacey abrams. mark strauss is trying to work this all out in georgia with kemp's new allegations. >> reporter: good morning. at breakfast spots like here in atlanta, these diners have been debating this bitter race for weeks. georgia's democratic party not only denies the latest hacking allegations but calls them bogus and desperate. >> he is trying to rile up his base by misleading voters yet again. >> reporter: democratic candidate stacey abrams says these last-minute hacking charges only prove her opponent's incompetence. >> he once again is overseeing a vulnerable system and blaming someone else for his mistakes. >> reporter: republican brian kemp oversees elections in his
7:08 am
role as secretary of state. his office said in a statement that it opened an investigation into the democratic party of georgia after receiving information from our legal team about failed efforts to breach the online voter registration system. and requested the federal bureau of investigation investigate these possible cyber crimes. georgia's democratic party says the allegations are unfounded and that kemp's office misunderstood an e-mail. it was sent by a man unaffiliated with the democrats, warning them about a potential vulnerability in the state's election system. >> my opponent has run the most dishonest campaign. >> reporter: kemp campaigned with president trump on sunday. neither man talked about the hacking charges but the president took aim at abrams. >> stacey abrams is one of the most extreme far left politicians. >> reporter: abrams has accused kemp of trying to suppress the vote, by purging voter rolls and
7:09 am
demanding burdensome proof of voter eligibility. kemp has called these allegations of voter suppression against him a farce, but last friday a federal judge agreed with kemp's critics in at least one case. in this nasty race, a white supremacist group has also targeted abrams with racist robocalls. on the eve of the election, polls show this race is dead even. >> thanks so much. in our next hour democratic candidate for governor stacey abrams will talk with us about the georgia campaign and her opponent's new allegations. that's ahead on "cbs this morning". the 2018 midterm election is shaping up to be the most expensive in american history. at least $200 million was raised in florida where early voting ended over the weekend. the state saw a record-breaking turnout with nearly 5 million people voting in advance. the large number is fueled by two high-profile races there.
7:10 am
manuel, good morning. >> reporter: this popular breakfast spot is a typical campaign stop for politicians here in tallahassee. this morning their signs are doing all the talking. nationwide the midterm election spending figures are staggering with estimates projecting more than $5 billion have already been spent and that does not include the 36 gubernatorial elections. the race for governor here in florida is a tight one with democrat andrew gillum holding a three-point edge over desantis. president trump was in florida stumping for desantis and rick scott, who is challenging senator bill nelson for his seat. that's another tight and bitter race. the tidal waves of dollars, florida is home to the top three markets that have seen the most political ads on broadcast tv
7:11 am
since the beginning of september. we'll find out tomorrow whether those ads help motivate to get voters to the polls. john? >> thank you. another senate race that's neck and neck is in missouri. democratic senator claire mccaskill is running for a third term against josh hawley. the show me state has leaned red. president trump won it by 26 points in 2016. dean reynolds is in springfield, missouri. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the first rally of the day for josh hawley has just concluded here in springfield. it's one of five stops the stat as he crisscrosses the state today. including a big rally tonight in cape girardeau where one of the speakers will be his staunchest supporters, the president of the united states. mr. trump has called mr. hawley a star and has criticized his
7:12 am
opponent, senator claire mccaskill, as a captive of the far left. now, mccaskill has tried to insulate herself from those attacks by characterizing her record as centrist and says she's not one of those crazy democrats, as she puts it. she's out-raised hawley four to one and yet the race here is virtually a tie. she's one of ten democrats running in states that mr. trump carried in 2016. and the missouri republicans here believe that they have a very good shot at turning this state red in the senate. >> that's right. they call these ten the trump ten democrats running in those states. cbs news chief correspondent nancy cordes and anthony are here. good morning, with fresh data as well. nancy, our poll shows 68% of
7:13 am
voters say health care is very important to them. we know democrats have made that the issue. is that going to help them tomorrow? >> it should. voters were asked which party they think will prioritize health care by a very large margin, they said democrats. 50% to 16%. so, democrats are hoping that this is going to be the animating issue. more than half of their ads mention it. republican operatives freely tell us that this has been a very difficult issue for their candidates to counter. the notion that they tried to repeal obamacare and replace it with something that would provide fewer protections for those with pre-existing conditions. she said her butt is getting kicked on this. >> anthony, immigration is right up there, too, which we've seen the president talking about. and the issue of the caravan, it is playing out in certain states. >> yes. consistently high as a top issue for republicans. republicans say they feel the
7:14 am
caravan is a threat to the united states. but part of that tells you what the president and the republicans think this election ought to be about, which is to say, immigration motivates the republican base, not so much independents. certainly not democrats. this is where you see a turnout elections, even in our polls, our modeling. we have democrats just barely over the line at 218 but that's heavily dependent on turnout. it's important for turnout, and republicans also think they have to counter that and get their base out. >> one issue you haven't brought up is the economy. speaker ryan was on the phone with the president this weekend begging him to talk about the booming economy. why is the president choosing not to go there? >> he said a couple of days ago that it's just not as exciting. he's talking about immigration. republican operatives are saying, please, don't be so exciting. please, talk about the economy. because immigration may help in red states but our polling found that among independents, the
7:15 am
caravan is not an animating issue. they're not worried about birthright citizenship. in the swing districts that are going to decide the fate of the house, this is not a helpful ploy. they'd much rather him talking about 3.7% unemployment and 250,000 jobs. >> anthony, i want to ask you about early voting because if there's something people overread before they get a chance to overread exit polls, they overread the signal from exit polls. what do these high early voting numbers tell us and what don't they tell you? >> it tells you the turnout will exceed the last midterm, 2014. to the nearest extent we can tell who's voting, it looks like it's about even between democrats and republicans. here's the caution. the best we can do is look at people's party registration. that doesn't mean how they voted. just means how they're affiliated. that's a rough estimate. i would caution, in 2016 hillary
7:16 am
clinton did well in the early vote. didn't help in the end. >> thanks to both of you. cbs news' live coverage begins on cbsn at 2:00 p.m. in the midwest and we'll be here for a special at 8:00 p.m. prime >> political slumber party. tough u.s. sanctions on iran are back in effect this morning. secretary of state mike pompeo said yesterday the measure is targeting oil, shipping and financial industries are the toughest ever sanctions on iran. they are being reinstated as part of the trump administration's withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal. elizabeth palmer is in tehran with iran's reaction. >> reporter: good morning. iran's normally moderate president rouhani has come out swinging, saying it's time to implement the phrase death to america and put pressure on the u.s. the government further signaled its defiance by broadcasting
7:17 am
pictures of anti-aircraft military exercises. and yesterday at an anti-u.s. rally, the head of iran's revolutionary guard warned that america would threaten iran at its peril. some in the crowd were towing the party line. >> your president is a meglomaniac. he's not sharing the world. >> reporter: many were just going through the motions. in fact, few in this country believe their country has the skill or political will to get them out of this mess. this morning, so far anyway, the iranian currency is stable, but everybody expects that the worst is yet to come. norah? >> elizabeth palmer in tehran, thank you. police say people at a florida yoga studio confronted a gunman who open fire during a class, helping prevent further blood shed. one patron, joshua quick, says
7:18 am
he wrestled with the shooter after the gun jammed. two women died in this attack friday night. 21-year-old mora binkley was a student at florida state university, and dr. nancy van ve vessem was a faculty member there. scott paul beierle posed as a customer before pulling out a gun. he eventually pulled the gun on himself. he had a history of inappropriately touching women and posting misogynistic and racist videos online. a first of its kind surgery is giving children hope. we'll introduce you to an 8-year-old good monday morning to you. we have a cool start to the day but the daytime high is slightly cooler compared to yesterday and above average for

we know that we can be a nation of immigrants while also securing our borders. sadly, our greatest threats today can be found from within our borders, from a government tha consttly on the verge of shutting down over partisan bickering, that is accumulating record debt, and failing to address our most urgent problems. i've never been a particularly partisan person, i've supported candidates from both sides. but at this moment, we must send a signal to republicans in washington that they have failed to lead, failed to find solutions, and failed to bring us together. that's why i'm voting democratic. america is the greatest nation on earth and for all our sakes we must start becoming the united states of america once again. thank you. independence usa pac is responsible for the content of this advertising. ♪

8:18 am
we know when he gets caught. democrats learned along with everyone else that brian kemp failed to be the secretary of state. >> do you think it will affect the vote? >> i think once again this shows a pattern of voter suppression on the part of brian kemp trying to scare people out of casting their votes. but we've been working hard for 18 months to increase the sense of security that people should have about our democracy writ large and we know the best answer to voter suppression is voter engagement. that's why we're excited about the overwhelming number of people who turned out in georgia and we intend to see them on election day. >> are you concerned about the fairness of this election? >> i'm concerned that someone hasn't done his fundamental job as the guardian of the public

behavior and so i think when people look at my record and they look at my plans, they will know i'm the only candidate who has their best interest at heart. >> but voters don't often do a deep dive, they look at the headlines and what brian kemp is saying about you. what do you do to keep people focused who are sick of both sides. >> i think what's happened over the last few months is that brian kemp has consistently behaved in a way that is not worthy of this office and what voters have seen is not a back and forth. they've seen one person who throws out desperate attacks and basically blame everyone else for his failures. i've never blown anything up, i've never pointed a shotgun at anyone. good jobs, health care and education. >> referring to images that brian kemp had in his campaign. no evidence.
