dave wasserman was right. in a place like florida, what did we see in 2016?aw the early vote dumped and, you know, secretary clinton was doing extremely well until her vote led kept being chipped away until she lost. that's the same thing we're going to see in a state like texas. before polls close, like by 8:45, we had half of the vote in 2016 in. we'll probably have that again this time. but again it's the early vote, and the early vote's going to look a lot different than the election day vote. >> we're also going to have this wisconsin, pennsylvania, michigan issue, which i think is going to be a confusing one, right? so in those states, i mean here's to me what's going to make election night difficult in some ways. the most straightforward path for biden is to win back those states. they're states that the polling average right now has him up in but we don't know because there were huge polling misses in 2016. and those are, if i'm not mistaken, the three states where it's going to take a while to count all those early and absentee votes. is that right?

. >> as our friend, the cook political report dave wasserman says, he's seeing really strong signs for biden, for a really big potential win if everything holds together but does not see anything significant in early voting. he just thinks there's no way to calculate who is voting. we saw last time in 2016 that did not go over well, bigger than expected early voting in north carolina and florida didn't mean anything for hillary clinton. ashley parker, both candidates on "60 minutes" last night. we saw joe biden reacting to make of the president's attacks after cbs producers clearly caught president trump just since returning to the trail after his covid diagnosis earlier this month. let's play a little bit of that. lesley stahl's interview was so strong and so effective, this is only a small piece of what they did, constantly quoting the president to him, showing it, and having him deny what he had said. let's watch. >> let me ask you something about suburban women. >> yeah. >> suburban women, will you please like me? please. please. i saved your damn neighborhood, okay? >> you said th

dave wasserman tell us that 12 counties in texas have already exceeded their entire 2016 tu turno turnouthose twoefl a12 are stusu those favor democrats. three i think are clearly republican. so some of the republicans are coming out too. that is a good thing. i want everybody to vote. but right now, it looks like this surge, this continuout, is advantaging the democrats. i think that we might see texas go blue. >> you really think that? i mean, i have to he will did y you -- tell you, i've been hearing that for a long time and i'm 51 years old. my entire life. there was a point where ann richards because the governor, but since then, it has been pretty republican. >> since 1994, last time democrats won, there have been 180 statewide elections and republicans won all 180. so, yeah, there is a trend. but everything continues until it stops. i think the motivation of people of color and latinos, i think the changing attitudes of white suburb suburbanites. there is a piece that i'm publicly lobbying. president obama needs to go to the rio grand valley. the turnout there won't be as high beca

one campaign as dave wasserman wrote has momentum on their side and the other does not appear to.in my conversations with people on both sides, i'm starting to sense that on the phone. >> joe, you're right. these are two campaigns that have similar feels on the race and one obviously feeling a little better than the other. both candidates are going to be heading through the midwest battlegrounds today. that upper midwest trio we know so well. from a very different position though. the biden camp is doing so from a position of strength and both parties agree the polling suggests that joe biden has a consistent, if lead, in these states. wisconsins, the michigans, pennsylvania. around 5, 6, 7, points. it's closer in the sunbelt. and in the biden team i was talking privately to one of their advisers in the last 24 hours. they understand that like -- places, states like florida, north carolina are going to be very close. it's a matter of election day turnout which is an interesting moment here because the biden campaign feels very good about how well they have done so far in their ear

>> i talked to dave wasserman who will be on our show. and he is just a data-doctor genius. he is the guy who predicted, in 2016 in september, that trump could lose the popular vote and win the electoral vote and i asked him about that early vote. he said, you know, i mean, first of all, he said don't overinterpret it because democrats are voting early because -- because they're -- they have covid concerns and they have mail concerns. they have all kinds of concerns, and so they're voting early. so democrats will vote early, much more so than republicans. but he put his finger on a very interesting thing that i hadn't heard before which is -- which is this. he said republicans will predominantly voting on election day and that may be a problem because there'll be long lines for republicans, which they're not used to doing. they're not used to waiting in lines. and if covid is a lot worse by election day, it could be republicans stay away from voting on election day because of covid. >> that is absolutely right. >> lot of unknowns there. unprecedented times. can't wait to wat

dave wasserman thinks president trump's decision to downplay the virus in a place like wisconsin, it may be the biggest display of tone deafness ever. so are trump's rallies a secret weapon he thinks that they are, or could he be burned by them? could they backfire? >> oh, i think they're absolutely backfiring. we put together some numbers that show his numbers going down in media markets after he leaves -- >> can i just say one thing? we just said before and i want to you finish, jeff zeleny was at a rally. he said -- you heard that. when he brought up the pandemic part, downplayed it because of the surging numbers there, he said people in the audience were quiet. sorry to interrupt. go on. >> oh, boy, that's the truth. in some of these focus groups when they start, when you show president trump's clips, what are the clips on the news after he leaves, it's about covid and his response what he said about covid. you ran it. it's covid, covid, covid, covid. if you're him, you should talk about nothing but the economy, but he's just steering right into the train that's about to run him
