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

>> 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 >> 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

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 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.

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- 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.

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 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,

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. 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

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 s 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

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 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
