thank you, yamiche alcindor of "the new york times," hugh hewitt of salem and tad divine of the democratic party. >>> democrats are pushing hard to win control of the u.s. senate. they have a good shot. one of the states they hope to flip from red to blue is pennsylvania. looks like they have a good shot, but it's going to be close. hillary clinton was there this weekend blasting pat toomey for supporting donald trump. he's not actually supporting donald trump. it's very hard to figure out what he is regarding trump. he's playing it very cute. we'll take a closer look at the keystone state in a minute. >>> plus, with all trump's talk of a rigged election, here's a real-world concern come election day. the justice department will be sharply restricted in how it monitors voting sites this time. we'll have far fewer election watchdogs this year since any time since the days of poll taxes and literacy texts. >>> and barack obama's flying high with an approval rating in the mid- to high 50s. now he's using his popularity not just to help hillary clinton, but to punish republicans up and down th

joining me are amy walter of the cook political report and from the "new york times," yamiche alcindormara keith is away. eight days to go. welcome to both of you. so, aim's thumbs up. >> we're so close. >> woodruff: where does the race stand and how much is this f.b.i. news having? >> seems like the race stands at a place where it's always wanted to go which is basically between a two-point and four-point clinton lead. even before the notes of the f.b.i. investigation came out, we already started to see a tightening of the race that hillary clinton's big, big lead, in some cases double digits, was narrowing down, in part because whenever the focus is on one candidate, the other candidate benefits. for most of october, the focus was on donald trump and all of his problems, whether debates or his other troubles. for the last week, even before the f.b.i. story, it was about the clinton foundation. it was about obamacare rates increasing. what we're starting to see is that republicans started to come home, the focus was on her negative trait. so i think that this race still is a hillary c

. >> donny deutsch joins us now along with the "new york times" reporter yamiche alcindor. >> we talkedy sometimes. all of us said separately, we were staring at the ceiling at midnight like, what just happened? >> when the debate ended, i kept thinking i could have watched more of that. what you saw was two people going at each other's throats and this idea you had donald trump really talking about jailing his opponent and then you have dt hillary clinton saying his campaign is imploding. this is stuff you have heard people say, but to have the candidates do that, it was incredible to watch. >> it's like you're describing a huge reality show. >> i want to talk about the reality of the debate last night. and -- >> donny, you said the same thing. last night, you were jittery at midnight. he didn't take anything. >> you're correct in that donald trump was the aggressor, was taking it to her, but he lost the debate. let me tell you why. very simple. this is no longer about politics. the isis a gender war. i have spent thousands of hours in women focus groups. and the friday thing -- >> how
