are you? i m not. i m a moderate. at best republican. reporter: republican in. is that how most republicans talk around here? those that are connected to the sea, absolutely. reporter: the land was the issue in texas s 23rd where agriculture was top of mind. even right next to trump s tent camp for migrant kids. just met someone who is currently driving us backwards down a street to his pomegranate orchard. when you vote, what do you care about? the production of food for us. don t forget one thing. i m a farmer. reporter: i thought you were going to say the tents with the kids in them. that s number one, because it s in your face. well, we need to feed the kids. we need to produce fruit. reporter: at the end of the day who wins will come down to turnout which is usually miserable in mid terms. it wasn t hard to see why in california. anybody here going to vote in the election on november sixth? anybody? nobody is going to vote?
each party, what message they d like to send with their votes. the more a word or phrase is used, the more it appears there in the cloud. for republicans we see if we can bring it. for republicans, immigration. do your jock. work together for democrats a lot of emphasis on trump but also health care. work together. those words featured prominently. let s bring in a former national press secretary for barack obama s 2012 reelection campaign. democratic strategist chris as well. chris does a lot of polling too. chris, a lot of the differences in the word clouds but work together. that was prominent in both. voters who say they re tired of the divisions that we see in this country. how might those voters use their votes tomorrow evening? how might that play out? well, it s interesting in the focus groups and stuff that we ve done during this cycle what we saw was kind of a commonality among all voters, a
and virginia today. let s talk about missouri. it s razor thin there. mccaskill appears to be in trouble. the missouri senate race is a margin of error contest. mccaskill leading by i believe three percentage points. what did voters there tell you? it s about the issues. missouri, in particular, we were talking to a lot of left-leaning democrat voters. they were just, again, tired of what they saw as kind of this pervasive dysfunction. they were focussed on basically three big issues. health care, number one. no you ve seen it across the country. education was two, and number three was wages. the notion about the argument is one of the most misinterpreted points in the election. republicans keep saying or some republican operatives keep saying well, you know, the president should have focussed more on the economy. here s the problem with that. if you actually talked to voters
