right now is the possibility that there are more clinton server emails that could be investigated. let's just quickly hear how the running mates are characterizing this today. >> no one is above the law. >> the fbi director stepped forward, kept his word to the congress and the american people and told us there is more information and investigation is now reopened. >> i think it's now pretty clear that the fbi director doesn't know that there is anything. these could be duplicates of what has already been analyzed. they could be thing don't have anything to do with hillary cln ton. >> but there is still a lot of unanswered questions here. what impact -- impact might it have on the vote. >> the bullk of voters wouldn't change because partisans have largely already decided. there are very few unsure voters out there. however, what may happen is that it may hurt hillary clinton's ability to go beyond her base or pull in some of those voter whs had been unsure or on the fence rather than costing her support that she already has. >> now donald trump has
6:03 pm
republican support in reliably red states. what is new on that front. >> right. in arizona we find him in a tight race and narrow lead with hillary clinton. this is a state that usually does go republican. the story is actually similar in many other states. trump has a lot of republican support but not quite enough. so that's one of his challenges in the last week. >> his other challenge is winning over his must-win battleground states like north carolina. >> right. here we see in north carolina hillary clinton with a slight this one will be about turnout. when we look at the early vote and many voters have already cast their ballots here as in many other states, we see that among registrants, democrats are tracking ahead of republicans. so donald trump does have some work to do. >> more than 20 million people have cast their ballots already. we don't know exactly who they voteed for but what other clues can we see in that? >> democrats in many places look like they are on pace with what they want their targets to be.
