take a look at hassen. competent and experienced are prominent along with liberal. looming over them all is the negative word that has dominated hillary clinton's word clouds all year -- liar and that's not a word you want in your cloud. our poll suggests that for now, clinton may be proving to be a bigger drag on hassen than trump is on ayotte. >>> thursday. but you'll be taking a look at how that race is affecting new hampshire as well. >> new hampshire has been ground zero for the presidential race since february and before with the primary, we asked who won the debate and what impact major stories about clinton and trump may have had on their decisions. the results may help you this could be a nail biter, two weeks from tonight. can you believe it? >> and i love that it all comes back to new hampshire. >> always does. >>> harvard university and the dining workers reached a deal to end a three month strike. the agreement came at 1:00 in the morning. the cafeteria workers are fighting for better wages. 'l tomorrow and could be back at work as early as thursday. >>

maggie hassen here in new hampshire. you know the state well. it is a place where if hillary clinton can drive up the lead she has and the national numbers they will reflect what goes on here. kelly ayotte is a strong incumbent. she could be overwhelmed by that. >> just to review the bidding over the weekend, you were in pennsylvania on saturday. she was there for katie mcginty who is being helped by clinton's popularity and the ground game. there are two rallies late into the night in philadelphia on saturday night. then on sunday two rallies in north carolina. she's picking up the pace after the third debate. in north carolina again another woman, deborah ross against an incumbent. a very close race. she's across the country now trying to bring women into the senate. that poll we referred to is the abc news washington post poll. a 12-point lead. peter alexander now as they look toward the final 15 days of this election. donald trump today stopping in florida saying the polls are big. let's listen to it. he was in a pumpkin match. a pumpkin pat

maggie hassen's record, hassen voted over 100 times for more taxes and fees.e what she would do unchecked in washington with a new president. maggie hassen, too risky for new hampshire. >> the ad doesn't explicitly say hillary clinton is likely to win the white house, but it's clear that they say saving the senate is the party's top priority. >> certainly. the u.s. chamber of commerce is not a huge fan of donald trump either, because they are a very pro trade organization, and donald trump, one of his priorities, has been taking on trade and attacking trade deals like the transpacific partnership and nafta. so they have a reason to be a little bit uncomfortable with whoever does win the white house. but this is a message we have actually been hearing for quite a while from many of the front line senate candidates. i was up in pennsylvania more than a month ago, and pat toomey, the republican candidate there, was using language very much like this actually, on the stump. and so i think we're going to be hearing that a lot more in the coming weeks. reaches a muc

you see a recent poll in new hampshire that has maggie hassen leading kelly ayotte. you see improving numbers for the senate candidate down there and in nevada we have seen consistent improvement from catherine cortes masto. this is a normal process of last minute voters engaged at all levels. let's keep in mind that donald trump has dominated the air waves and not allowed down ballot races to get the attention they normally would even in a presidential year. democrats need to stay focused for two weeks and a day doing everything we can to help every democrat on the ballot from state legislature up to president. >> we are taking a look at hillary clinton on stage in manchester, new hampshire. you just saw andrea mitchell. kasie hunt reporting. i want to talk about georgia, a state where i believe you put in a 2 million ad buy. trump with the edge there by a couple of points. do you think you can flip georgia. is this for real? or is this to psych out the trump campaign. >> we don't believe in those head fakes. we'll do what we can on the ground and on the air in geor

maggie hassen's record? she voted over 100 times for more tax and fees. imagine what she'd do unchecked in washington with a new president. >> let me show you, still focused on new hampshire, where things stand right now in terms of public polling. al wmur poll came out yesterday showing maggie hassen, the state's governor and democratic challenger at 46%, kelly ayotte at 38%, an eight-point deficit for the incumbent republican. that is why the chamber of commerce decided to start there, they think that's the most dire. it's also a presidential battleground state where donald trump has been many times and he has even a bigger deficit in that same poll. but much bigger -- there you see the presidential poll. at a much broader level, the hope at the chamber of commerce, brooke, is that other republican groups, even candidates themselves, see this as a signal it is time to really pull the plug on any motion that donald trump is going to win the white house, make it very clear to voters who historically have been okay with, even liking, divided government as

hillary clinton is hoping that she can help pull it out for maggie hassen, a chance they didn't thinkfore. >> democrats really want that majority in the u.s. senate. brianna, thank you very much. gloria, is hillary clinton's support for these democrats in very tight races working? >> reporter: well, we don't know yet. but i think at this point they're feels so confident that they're thinking about governing. if you look at the -- >> even though she said she wasn wasn't. >> when you look at the last 7 1/2 years of this president, you've seen a hallowing out of democrats at the state legislative level. they've lost 900 state legislative seats. governors are almost 3-1 republican governors. so what they're trying to do, in addition to taking back the senate and getting close to taking back the house, they're trying to take advantage of this opportunity. they believe that they that advantage right now by trying to get people to vote straight democratic. ironically, republicans want ticket splitting to occur. democrats are saying no, no, just vote all democrats. >> interesting, because a l

tammie duckworth in nevada, maggie hassen in new hampshire and the list goes on. she has been emboldened enough to use not only an opening for her potential victory, but for women running for senate in this toxic environment. >> right, well, women are the biggest voting bloc there is. and many women are very upset. we saw what elizabeth warren said yesterday talking about nasty women. and i can't help but think about janet jackson, a throwback song, "nasty boys" when it comes to donald trump. what you have here is hillary clinton being strategic and want ing to win this. this is her second and final chance to win the oval office. donald trump has come out and said things against women openly. no one has coerced him. we have heard him say things. . she's capitalizing on that. and there is a chance the democrats feel there's still a chance she could possibly pull out some wins for the democrats in the senate. but the republicans are still saying even with what she's doing, they believe that they still have a chance. i think the senate is up for grabs. she's really t
