donald trump is rigged. >> the latest polls are rigged. >> the people who control the political power can rig polls. >> you see these phony polls, and the media, they can wield absolute would youer over your life. >> all of this rhetoric is starting to whip up the crowds at these rallies. >> obama care policyholders take a major blow. confirming premiumless go up sharply next year. >> pushing towards the campaign. >> mosul a strike. >> in oklahoma, a massive manhunt under way for a man suspect eed of murder. >> and [ bleep ] -- [ bleep ]. >> accidents at the theme park

on australia's coast. >> and a runaway car. the car rolled away. all that -- >> universities and in front of the crowd this evening. >> the touchdown ends in defeat. >> and all that matters -- >> a cubs man but donned a yankees cap. >> is there no hat she won't wear? okay. there's one hat. there's one hat. there's one. >> on cbs "this morning." >> president obama will go down as perhaps the worst president in the history of the united states. exclamation poin point @realdonaldtrump. @realdonaldtrump, at least i will go down as a president. >> "this morning"'s "eye-opener" is presented bu eed by toyota.

let's go places. captioning funded by cbs welcome to cbs "this morning." the race is two weeks away. focusing on two states that will decide who is our next president. hillary clinton and donald trump will both campaign today in florida. that state has 29 electoral votes. >> and clinton is calling on others. elizabeth warren picked up the nasty woman from last week's debate and used it on the republican nominee. in white plains, new york, will clinton will soon take off for florida. nancy cordes, good morning. >> reporter: when the race first began, clinton was reluctant to draw too much attention to her gender, to imply the people should vote for her because she is a woman, but with just two weeks to go, she is flipping the script and her top women supporters are now calling on

the sisterhood to see her through. >> maybe it is a bit of a woman thing, because we make lists. >> reporter: in new hampshire, clinton argued she'd make a great multitasker in chief. she campaigned with three women lawmakers. >> get this, donald, nasty women are tough. >> reporter: including senator elizabeth warren. >> he thinks that because he has a mouth full of tic tacs that he can force himself on any woman within groping distance. well, i've got news for you, donald trump -- women have had it with guys like you. >> reporter: all of clinton's top allies are making the same case, from first lady michelle obama. >> that's why he demeans and humiliates women as if we're objects. >> reporter: to president obama, who during a late-night interview was asked about trump's now infamous "access hollywood" tapes. > i think that's one of those things where if your best friend who worked, you know, in the

office somewhere had that video, it would be a problem for -- >> a problem. >> and he's not running for president. >> reporter: the trump campaign isn't conceding, blanketing the rally with women for trump signs as trump tries to wield his numbers higher. >> i think we're doing better with women than men, frankly. >> reporter: since mid-october, clinton gained 12 points and trump's lost 16 among non-college educated white women, and clinton has made women's issues a key part of her closing argument. >> if you believe women and girls should be treated with dignity and respect and that women should be able to make our own health care decisions and that marriage equality should be protected, then you have to vote. >> reporter: clinton is also spending more time in these closing weeks campaigning for women. just in the past three days she has visited new hampshire and pennsylvania. two battleground states where she is now comfortably ahead but

where women, democratic women, are locked in closer races for the senate, gayle. >> all right. thank you, nancy. donald trump is spinning his third straight day in florida. major garrett is in tampa where trump held a rally last night. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. donald trump and his advisers don't believe in the polls certainly not the bad ones, but they do believe in large enthusiastic crowds. the ones in florida are a far better indicator where this race is and where any public polling is on the horse race, but turning supporters into voters takes organization, and on that score, the trump campaign is still playing catch-up. donald trump entertained a ruckus crowd of thousands in tampa. >> i love my second home. i love florida. >> reporter: touting a select group of national polls showing him slightly ahead. >> we're leading. number one. >> reporter: and again questioning hillary clinton's fitness for office and the fbi probe that cleared her of

wrongdoing. >> we have to investigate the investigation, folks. our system is rigged. she never had a chance of being convicted. >> reporter: florida polling show trump trailing. so before he hit the stage, surrogates practically begged supporters to register, volunteer and vote. >> hey -- all them signs y'all got, they don't mean nothing if you don't vote. >> we need these thousands of people to push harder for the next 14 days. >> we must double and triple our efforts to make sure donald trump gets elected. >> reporter: the evening rally was trump's fifth sunshine state stop of the day. part of a frantic effort to capture 29 crucial electoral votes. >> i think we're going to win florida big. i think we're going to bin florida big. >> reporter: at a meeting with florida farmers trump weeded out polls that show he's facing a big loss to clinton. >> they call them dark polls. they are phony polls put out by phony media. >> reporter: trump's campaign

also debuted a new lightly live streaming web show on facebook feeding speculation about a postelection trump tv network. >> let me just say unequivocally, we will win. >> reporter: trump hit other battleground states through talk radio, again dismissing new accusations of sexual misconduct. >> she's a porn star. you know, this one that came out recently, he grabbed me, and he grabbed me on the arm. oh, i'm sure she's never been grabbed before, and they make it so it is -- it's all lies. >> reporter: there is no shortage of self-confidence within the trump campaign, but that it confidence may only be skin deep. one example, trump's running mate, indiana governor mike pence is being sent to utah to campaign. now, republicans haven't lost utah since 1964 and polls there are tight showing anxiety within the trump campaign about holding on to that republican state. >> thanks. chief correspondent for the "new york times" magazine and a cbs

news political contributor. good morning. >> hi, charlie. >> if this race is closer than the polls say, what would be causing it to be that? >> well, i think people, a lot of trump supporters are looking for permission structure to cast a protest vote, even some independent voters and others who want to cast a protest vote. trump has been a vehicle for protest votes throughout the primary, a lot of polls indicate, and a grievance candidate to a lot of people and especially people that tonight feel he can win. >> not a vote to win but a vote to protest. >> correct. >> he talk answer phony and dark polls. that he has different polls that indicate different numbers. one of his people said we are sure we're going to win in florida? what do you make of this? >> candidates always not in the lead talk how the polls are wrong. their internal polls are better and our crowds are amazing, i'm seeing things no one else can see because i go to these big,

loud, raucous -- >> president obama is still talking about those crowds. >> yes. there is historical precedent taking hold in the last weeks. trump, however is a bit of an x factor candidate. his crowds genuinely are hump and continue to be huge. really no drop-off there, and there's also, you just don't -- polls aralities more iffy this time around, because you just don't know what trump voters are telling pollsters, so much distrust to begin with. >> nancy reported on the female factor. hillary clinton now talking about win campaigning for some of the female senators using senator elizabeth warren. what we're watching in florida is an uptick in women in early voting and absentee voting. is there evidence they're turning out in larger numbers than expected? >> well, if there's an uptick in them you have to think according to polling now, many are voting for hillary clinton. if fairness, in addition to the clinton campaign emphasizing

this, trump is giving a lot to work with. even this thing about the adult film star today didn't get a lot of traction, but actually say -- i mean that sends a message. >> and talking about this. now elizabeth warren and bernie sanders, if hillary clinton is elected, how much will they want to draw her to the left? >> quite a bit. that's a story worth watching. i mean, i think beginning november 9th. so we'll see. i mean, again, she has to win first. they're focused on that, but, yeah. that, to me -- i think talks of a republican part split are a little overshadowing what will you a serious split in the democratic party. >> a lot of stories to watch november 9th. >> there will be. i'm going to take a little bit of a nap. >> thanks, mark. >> thanks, everyone. bring you all the results as they come in two weeks from today. election night coverage starts tuesday november 8th at 7:00 p.m. eastern. 6:00 central. you can watch all day on a streaming network. >> a lot of people will be glad when it's all over.

expected to be okay. now, police say vance was shot in the shoulder, but somehow managed to steal a police officer's truck, head down that road and allegedly kill his aunt and uncle, and along the way, he started posting videos to facebook live. >> this is more intense than i thought it was going to be. >> reporter: michael vance took to facebook from inside a stolen police pickup. authorities say he took the car after pulling a high-powered rifle on officers attempting to question him. >> the gentleman came out with an ak-47 and just opened fire on everybody. >> two gunshot victims shot in the leg and foot area. both patients are conscious. >> reporter: vance wanted on charges of child sexual abuse was also shot in the battle. >> let me tell you, it hurts. it sucks. >> reporter: then carjacked this man and his pregnant wife. >> got about right here. our car's parked right here. he's got an assault rifle. >> reporter: a woman across the street says she was injured by

shrapnel when vance opened fire. >> my boyfriend said, get down, get down. so i got done but had already been shot. >> reporter: at some point vance post add second video from inside another vehicle. showing off his rifle. >> letting y'all know, look, this is real. see? that's a [ bleep ] gun. >> reporter: authorities say vance made his way to the home of his aunt and uncle less than ten miles from the initial shoot-out with police. according to vance's arrest warrant, both were found dead. ronald w wilks and wounds found attempting to sever his head, and his aunt with multiple stab wounds. he has a medical condition and may try to spread sdreez. >> wah tount know what's up next? stay tuned to your local news. >> reporter: vance is still on the run. he's actually a suspect in another attempted carjacking and shooting about two hours away

victims in their 30s and early 40s. it's still unclear what caused the ride to break down. >> we are deeply shocked and saddened by this, and our hearts and our thoughts go to the families involved. >> reporter: horror at one of australia's most popular parks. police say just after 2:00 p.m. the thunder river rapids ride at dream world malfunctioned's two ejected from their raft. the other two caught inside the structure. >> obviously, kids onboard screaming while their mom was like -- trapped under. >> reporter: staff park personnel tried perform first-aid on the victims before paramedics aprived. >> rying to determine how this tragic incident occurened add i am able to kweshl four adults lost their lives as a result of the incident. >> reporter: billed as a family-friendly ride, the thunder river rapids reaches speeds of just under 30 miles

larger than new york city has already been recaptured from isis. holly williams shows the scene outside the town of bashqa, eight miles from mosul. >> reporter: up against a usual gorilla attack us gorilla -- griuerrilla attack b isis. like most towns and villages retaken, it is uninhabited. its residents fled two years ago when isis first moved in. in contrast, around 1 million civilians in mosul and this is expecting a surge of refugees when the fighting moves into the city. meanwhile, isis is launching new assaults outside the territory it still controls. the extremist released a new video apparently showing an attack on another town on

i served under president bush and obama. i fought the taliban. i was asked to form a global coalition to counter isil. when someone makes the comment that they know more about the islamic state or isil than do the generals, it implies a complete ignorance of the reality. but i believe secretary clinton really understands the threat that the islamic state poses to the united states and to the american people. and i believe she understands how to wield american power to ultimately defeat this threat and to keep us safe.

a new report this morning criticizes the performance of headlights on most pickup trucks. the insurance institute for highway safety looked up 11 pickups equipped with 23 different headlights options. it found just one earned top marks. another ranked acceptable. kris van cleave is in washington with one of the trucks that received a poor rating. kris, good morning. >> reporter: women, good morning. the f-150 is one of the highest rated trucks for safety but when it comes to the headlights even with the l.e.d. option it was deemed inadequate in all test scenarios and there's concern about many of the vehicles the institute tested that in researchers' minds simply don't give enough light to a driver going freeway speed to spot an object down the road and avoid it in time.

the video on the top of your screen is a road lit by what the insurance institute for highway safety says is a well-performing headlight. s the l.e.d. optionen the 2017 honda ridge line. the bottom is from a 20916 chevy colorado with headlights that were rated poor and performed the worst of those tested. >> you probably shouldn't be driving faster than about 35 miles an hour with the low beams on this pickup. you don't have time to see what you need to see and still be able to avoid a crash. >> good. we can begin testing. >> reporter: the first year the insurance institute tested headlight performance and has consistently found they underperform. out of 63 vehicles, mid-sized sedans, small suvs and now pickups with 152 different headlight options only two scored the top or good rating. the ridge line and the toyota prius v with the upgraded l.e.d. headlights. >> manufacturers to could what they thought was a pretty good

job designing the headlight but maybe not pay as much attention how it was installed, might not have been aimed properly. >> reporter: auto makers are listening now, says motor trend editor-in-chief ed lowe. >> they're going to have to change course and probably upgrade a lot of their products, because as this standard gets rolled in the safety protocol, it could affect sales. >> reporter: tom evans owns a dodge ram pickup. two of its three headlight options scored poor. the other, margin'sal. evans uses fog lights to compensate. >> not as effective as they could or should be for being h.i.d.s that they are. >> reporter: ford tells cbs "this morning" safety is one of its highest priorities. fiat chrysler makes the ram and says the test does not align with regulatory requirements adding its vehicles meet or exceed those requirements. ihss says several automakers

said they are making changes and could be because next year to get the highest safety ranking possible the headlights have to perform well. gayle? >> headlights, it's a good thing. we all need good headlights at work. thank you, kris. ahead, have you ever driven a car at night and turned off headlights just to see what would happen? >> no, gayle. i haven't. >> i did that when i was younger. just to see. and you quickly turn them back on. young and foolish. >> the new cars, headlights do the high beam probing by itself. >> good information. >> still have that sense of adventure? >> no. gotten very boring in my old age. ahead why police need an escort. >> so flirtatious the way you asked that. did you feel that, gayle? did you feel that? >> yeah. i feel it. >> that same sense of adventure. why police need to escort a tree out of an inter

good morning. it's tuesday, october 25, 2016. welcome back to cbs "this morning." there is more real news ahead, including donald trump warning voters not to trust the polls. we'll look at his claims with cbs news elections director anthony salvanto. first, here's today's "eye-opener" at 8:00. >> clinton reluctant to draw too much attention to her gender but it flipping the script. >> donald trump and his advisers don't believe in the polls's what they do believe in are large, enthusiastic crowds. >> didn't make up all of this? >> candidates not in the lead always talk how the poll, ron. their internal polls are better and by the way our crowds are

better. >> that's what dukakis said. >> yes. >> forces still clearing bashiqa and up against the usual guerrilla attack used by isis. >> shot but somehow managed to steal a police officer the truck and started posting videos to facebook live. >> first pitch is expected to happen right there shortly after 8:00 tonight. >> the two teams have a combined 176 years without a championship. to put that in perspective, that is almost as long as a baseball game feels. [ laughter ] >> president obama last week said that this year's election is like daunte's inferno. that's fine. as long as it doesn't turn into a disco inferno. ♪ >> no matter who wins, rhythm loses. rhythm loses. >> what music were they

listening to? got it. >> i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. election day is two weeks from today. early voting under way in more than 30 states. donald trump held a series of large rallies yesterday in florida, in another battleground state, hillary clinton campaigned in new hampshire. >> they attacked each other but also talked about specific policies they would fight for if elected. >> we're going to make affordable child care so nobody pays more than 10% of your income for child care. we're going to work for paid family leave. >> tariffs on companies that outsource american jobs. the companies leave, they fire their employees. we're not going to let it happen any longer. >> we're going to close the loopholes. we're going to end the fact that millionaires can pay a lower tax rate than a nurse or a teacher or a police officer. >> a tax cut for all

middle-class families. a big one. >> public colleges and institutions, tuition-free for any family making under $125,000 a year. >> and school choice, which the labor unions, the unions don't want to allow, and we're going to end common core and bring our education local. >> of course, i want you to vote for all of us, but more than that, i want you to vote for yourselves. and for your families, and for your hope for our future. >> there has never been a political phenomena like what we're doing right now, and we're all part of it, and we have to finish it off. so get out and vote. >> hillary clinton and donald trump will both campaign today in florida. we are near the end of an unconventional election, but as usual, the polls are becoming a bigger part of the story. the most's recent cbs news national poll shows hillary clinton with a nine-point lead

over donald trump. in context, examined 40 years of cbs news polls to look at other races two to three weeks before the election. >> at this time back in 1976, jamie carter led gerald ford by five points. nothing compared to bill clinton in 1992. this 17-point advantage over then president george h.w. bush dwarfs hillary clinton's margin. in 2000, george w. bush led al gore by two points in the poll. one. close of the elections in modern american history. eight years later barack obama held a comfortable lead over john mccain. and anthony salvanto is with us. the point is the cbs news polls have been pretty accurate. >> yeah. done okay. >> done okay. look, the trump campaign put out a memo yesterday. in part to raise money, were ut in it it said if trump wins new hampshire, colorado or pennsylvania, he could win the election and recent polls show him ahead in iowa, ohio, maine, florida, nevada and north

carolina. how does that memo square with the truth and data we've seen out there? >> he's down. down in most of those states and down on the electoral college overall but doesn't mean he's out. voters in polls tell you what they're going to do. we've seen it over history, over time. we find donald trump's voters are willing to talk about voting for donald trump. they're proud of it and telling it to pollsters. telling their friends and family and not shy about it. they're showing up. they're showing up in the polls. the other thing is, though, they say they think donald trump is talking about the issues and topics that he wants to talk about, not what they want to hear about. that's changing washington, the economy, a place to go -- >> no secret trump vote not showing up in polls? >> no. millions of dollars have come in. you see that he doesn't have a lot of new vote coming in.

most voters voted in past elections. they've talked about rallies a new set of voters to come out and vote for him. that hasn't shown up yet. >> when there is a change in the last two weeks generally what happens and what causes it? voters coming home to their natural political place? or is it some outside event? >> yes. coming home is a big part of it here. donald trump has been down with republicans relative to how well hillary clinton has done with democrats. she's got nine in ten democrats even after the whole bernie sanders fight back and forth she's rallied her base. he has 20% of republicans, calling them the reluctant republicans. largely women, largely suburban women. running ten points down in state after state especially college educated women. reluctant to come to his side. if he can rally that base back to him then he gets a lot closer. >> so much talk after this race is over, hillary clinton has already won. isn't there a danger for her team to become overcomfort and what can he do to turn it around?

>> one of the things that comes with the territory of being a pollster. both sides wants to say you're wrong. the winning side doesn't want their voters to be com plcom ple meplace -- complacent. a turnout ish i for hillary clinton. the democrats will rely on turnout. >> can he turn it around? >> can we talk about texas. >> sure. >> early voting begun. what are we seeing there? >> texas is a great story for exactly that kind of yu7 underperformance with college educated white voters, white men and women. donald trump is still winning them, but not by the margins republicans typically do. that's made this race close. >> and latinos? >> latinos who say they are very moat valuate motivated, can't wait to vote. >> within the margin of error? >> it is, but i'm not sure that hillary clinton is positioned yet to outright win texas. i think that's about as close as

it gets but still that closeness tells a story, charlie. >> yes. interesting because i think that texas stays republican. but i do think it's interesting how that state could trend purple in upcoming presidential elections. >> right. >> start to tilt. >> like north carolina did. >> exactly. people thought that -- >> the texas girl and the north carolina boy. >> right. >> issues has matters series tomorrow looking at the supreme court under the next president. two favorite lawyers will be here at the table studio 57. great. facingoff against each other in bush versus gore. the case that decided the 2000 election. and fewer choices when obama care open enrollment begins. the government says the cost of mid-level health plans next year increase by an average of 25%. that will hit consumers in 39 states. major carriers are dropping out in some markets. about one in five consumers will be able to choose from only one

provider. government numbers show about 2.5 million americans not currently enrolled could be eligible for subsidies to offset cost increases. >> we need a bigger understanding why this is happening. >> sure do. >> because the idea was not only to spread coverage around, but that by spreading the coverage around, not only help people get nor preventative care and bring costs down. instead, premiums are skyrocketing. >> what happened? >> and who's profiting on this? or the way the law set up, failed? an interesting story. >> true. the 8-year-old daughter of a california police officer killed in the line of duty received a moving escort when she returned to school. >> hi, vanessa! hi. how ya doing? >> good. >> good? >> good morning. look. all your uncles came to take you to school this morning. i want to introduce you to everybody here. come on. >> wow. more than a dozen of her

amongst some patients. >> i don't see a medical utility for this, and i do see potential for harm. >> reporter: what do you say to doctors who have raised a concern? >> well, i think they should -- doctors raising concerns should look at the studies. >> reporter: numerous studies overseas explored the benefits of halo therapy including one from israel earlier this month which found salt rooms may have some beneficial effects in mild asthmatic children. yet research in the u.s. is lacking. the american lung association reports there are no evidence-based findings to create guidelines for salt therapy. >> i've been doing this for about six months now. >> reporter: but for some with asthma, like antonio, the results are already in. >> it's helped the in terms of first activity, i've notice add difference. i don't get at winded as quickly. so it's definitely helped in that regard. >> reporter: europeans have known about this for a while,
