the case by french and malian authorities. there is less than a week to go before america votes for a new president. hillary clinton and donald trump had been seeking to convince those last undecided voters in a blitz through the so-called swing states that could decide the election. places like north carolina, nevada, laura, and ohio. one poll put dollar probe ahead. some voters made up their minds a while ago and there have been twice as many early voters this time around as four years ago. start.ing a head just under a week before the election, more than 26 million people have cast their ballots. that's twice as many as the same time four years ago. even president barack obama practiced his civic duty early. unable tolderly or

2:43 pm
in other words, you want to change her vote. wisconsin is one of several states where you can change your early ballot if you think you have made a mistake. still, early voting is no crystal ball. previous elections show early results in a given state are generally a poor predictor of the outcome on election day. laura: for more, let's go to the united states and to tennessee. we have a professor at vanderbilt university and therector of the center for study of democratic institutions. thanks for being with us tonight . how worried should democrats be on these latest poll numbers? >> i wouldn't be too worried. you have to look at the polls in general. there are a few that are pro-trump and a few that are pro-clinton. consumer,ntelligent look on average. the polls on average show that clinton has about point lead over donald trump, which is pretty stable in the campaign
2:44 pm
season. laura: and it's not about winning the national vote, the highest percentage nationwide. the candidate who wins will have to get to the 270 electoral college votes. it's more difficult for donald trump to reach that number, but not impossible, right? >> that is correct. he basically has to run the table and when all the close states, which would be difficult for him since early voting has already started. clinton has a much stronger investment in terms of get out the vote efforts, so it's possible but not likely. resultsly the poll we're seeing in those states. laura: brexit and other elections showed us that polls cannot always be trusted. people say one thing when they intend to do the other, and is
2:45 pm
there any way to counteract that? >> you think about what the polls are showing on brexit, we had polls showing those remain up until winning right election day. the system in the united states is very different. in recent history we've just not been in that kind of situation. another thing you might look at, the brexit polls, you got very different results if you look at online polls versus polls done over the telephone. do adless of whether you poll over the internet or through phones are cell phones, you're both saying the same thing, which is that hillary clinton has a slightly over donald trump. for those who are thinking there voters, shy trump whether you're talking to a human being are just taking toll on the internet, we don't see any evidence there's the difference in those polls.
2:46 pm
not a large enough effect to change what we're seeing in the polls. laura: as in all elections, turnout will be key. is there any way of telling how many people will turn out on voting day? thenow, and this is one of big quandaries. the weather can really affect turnout. is one issue we always face trying to predict to exactly going to vote on election day, and that can have huge consequences. in the 2012 election gallup poll, they predicted a one-point lead by mitt romney. registered voters had obama winning by two points. on election day, he won by four points. the question about who is likely to vote can have a huge impact on the poll results that we see. one of the things for hillary
2:47 pm
all seem tohat they tell a pretty consistent story. they are consistently solid that clinton has a lead, narrower than she used to have, but a lead nonetheless. laura: thank you very much for talking to us. assign perhaps that the british are fed up with the u.s. election campaign. andeffigy of donald trump hillary clinton have been built as part of the bonfire light celebration. fireworks go off to commemorate the attempt of guy fawkes to blow up the houses of parliament in 1605. previous effigies include cyclist lance armstrong, the fee for president and other -- the fifa president and others.

2:51 pm
capital markets after the election. if we get an upset donald trump victory, they will use that volatility as a reason to think about not raising rates. there's about a 70% chance of a fed rate hike in december. those are appropriate odds. >> the uncertainty has been creating some turmoil on the global stock market. major european indices shed over a percent each. closed and word as well. , theasdaq down nearly 1% s&p recording its seventh consecutive session of losses, closing down over .5%. it could be stemming from the so-called fear index on wall street after new polls show the gap between donald trump and hillary clinton shrinking. tracksks index
