good morning to our viewers in the west. it's tuesday, november 6th. welcome back to "cbs this morning." this election may decide how much president trump can do in the next two years. ahead, bob schieffer covering his 25th election will help us understand why this one is different than any other. plus, we introduce you to the historically diverse crowd of candidates seeking to change the way congress looks. first here is today's eye opener at 8:00. the divided nation is voting in midterm races that many consider a test of president trump's popularity. >> arrived back here after a manic push to push voters. >> i did a lot of stops, saw a
8:01 am
lot of people. >> democrat in the hotly contested race for governor. >> desantis is making this a referendum on mr. trump. >> doors opened at 7:00 a.m., about 200 deep now. >> crowd control exercise. they say, in preparation for the caravan. now some democrats say it's voter suppression. >> what are you looking for tonight that gives you an indication of how it's going to go. >> if they won a second district in norfolk. that's the kind of race that is a reach that republicans worry about. >> announced that they will be reuniting for their first tour, the spice girls, in a decade. i know there's a lot hanging on this election, but this is the most important news in my lifetime. the spice girls have reunited. see, i didn't even need to vote. the party that i wanted is now back in power. girl power.
8:02 am
yeah. reunion. big news for a lot of people. here, our big news is -- >> girl power for the election. >> we're psyched about that. i'm gayle king with norah o'donnell, john dickerson and bianna gol do. ryga. this is a scene in costa mesa, california. 35 senate seats and 435 house seats are up for grabs today. democrats need a net gain of 23 seats in the house and a gain of two seats in the senate to take control. >> focusing more on the economy than immigration. in an interview with sinclair broadcasting, he talked about one regret from his first 21 months in office. >> i would like to have a much softer tone. i feel to a certain extent i have no choice, but maybe i do. and maybe i could have been softer from that standpoint. >> during his last events, mr.
8:03 am
trump called democrats corrupt and socialists. former president barack obama, who repeatedly attacked mr. trump during the campaign said yesterday there is more at stake than just the issues. >> what kind of politics we expect is on the ballot. how we conduct ourselves in public life is on the ballot. >> our cbs news battleground tracker found 72% of americans say their vote today will be about president trump. 34% will support him and 38% will vote to oppose him. >> an overwhelming majority of americans are optimistic about the economy. 76% of voteers rate it as very or somewhat good, but who gets to take credit? business analyst jill schlessinger is here to check
8:04 am
the numbers. >> economic cycles are long and so this current upturn started back in june of 2009, all the way back then. from 2009 till about 2017, through those years, we've seen growth at about, let's say, 2.25, sometimes it popped up to 2.5%. >> tepid growth. >> exactly. this year we've had quarterly growth that's been very good and for the entire year, it looks like growth will come in at 3%. that will have been the best growth since 2005 but it comes at a cost. the deficit has widened and, frankly, that could be a problem next year because if the deficit is up pretty high and we're having problems with tariffs, we could see growth cool next year.
8:05 am
that sugar high may not last into 2019. >> tax cut also contributed to the sugar high as well. job growth continues to be steady as well. last month we saw 250,000 jobs. not bad, right? >> yeah, and this far into a recovery, the job situation is really terrific, right? we know that job growth accelerates early in a recovery. but to have more than 200,000 jobs every single month is a good number. unemployment is down to a 39-year low, 3.7% and good nes s on wages, which have just started to accelerate, up just over 3% a year ago. >> always great to have you on. glad you got the white memo as well. >> exactly. >> john, back to you. >> thank you, jill. dan senor served as adviser on the romney/ryan presidential campaign and talked to voters
8:06 am
before the poll. what's the temperature? >> not good. the question is, will the democrats win big or will it be a wave? if one party wins more seats, that's not a wave. a wave is when every close race breaks in one direction. right now, the way house republican leaders see it, there's three categories of house races, there's the races, the seats that obama won and hillary one. both of them, hillary and obama, won them by big numbers. if the republican wins that seat, early sign of a wave. kentucky, on the other end, which trump and romney won, 2012, 2016, andy barr in that district. if democrats win that, early seen of a wave. and then new york 19, john faso, defending his seat. obama won it once and then trump
8:07 am
won it, both 6% each. those are like three categories of races. and obama/clinton seat that a republican is holding, an obama/trump seat that a republican is holding and if they all go, we've got a wave. in all those states, kentucky, florida new york, we'll learn about early. >> virginia and pennsylvania, too, a number of races there. let's talk about the senate, in particular. someone said this is the tale of two stories, right? democrats and a lot of ground to make up in the house. >> yep. >> in the senate, different story, the worst map they've seen. >> we could have a bizarre scenario where democrats win the house and get a wave and republicans hang on to the senate or pick up a seat. that's happened twice in the last century. it would be very peculiar, to your point. republican leaders still feel optimistic that they'll hang on or pick up a seat just because
8:08 am
even if they lose arizona and nevada, they still feel pretty confident right now about missouri, indiana, north dakota. >> is there a race or races that you're watching that will indicate how you think the evening is going to go? >> well, those early states, kentucky, florida and new york, will tell a lot. >> at the end of the night, though -- at the end of the night, one race i'm interested in is mimi walters in orange county. her old district is basically orange county. orange county has been the heart of reagan country, heart of republican california. 14 republican seats in california. seven of them clinton won in 2016. if mimi walters goes, all seven go and i think democrats are -- >> sorry? >> 45th. >> more importantly, we don't want to forget what's happening in the states. guernatorial elections, big story tonight. >> i think republicans will lose most of the big gubernatori aal
8:09 am
races. >> the ones that trump carried and made him president. >> governor's offices do a lot of party building, infrastructure building for the long run. it's been helpful for the republicans. >> can we stop talking so we can say happy birthday to you? because we're running out of time. >> so rude. >> and i don't want to get off the air without saying happy birthday. >> on your birthday, too, very fast, before the cake, before the fireworks, republicans helped or hurt by the president? before we get results. >> i think republicans will have been helped in some of the senate races, in particularly in the states trump won in 2016. they will really have been hurt in the house. the president has done best. so they can focus on the economy. when the economy has been the story, the president's approval rating has gone up. that's not been the case the last two weeks. 2012, it was election day, on my birthday. as we were just discussing on that election, i had to tell
8:10 am
paul ryan he wasn't going to win the viat wasy birthday gift. i'm hoping for a better night tonight. not terribly optimistic. >> thanks for bringing lots of facts and info. >> good to be with you guys. >> always good to see you. continuous live coverage begins on cbs and today at 5:00 p.m., 4:00 central. we'll be here for prime time election night special. starts at 8:00, 7:00 central. and the birthday boy will be back to join us with that. young people have a habit of skipping elections. this year there's a lot more interest. >> i'm voting in the midterm because not everyone in communities that i'm close to can. >> i'm definitely voting because it's a right that my ancestors fought for. >> i already voted because i believe our democracy is stronger when we all participate. >> ahead, the potential
