Now over. now, its a small sample size. i understand people who will say, well, look at everything he said during the campaign. fair. but i would say, since it has been clear that this will be the job that he is going to get, not just that he is running for, you know, i think hes done what anyone, democrat, republican, independent, would hope he or any person in his position would do. >> and chuck todd has joined us now. of course, our chief political director and host of "meet the press." i tho...

That will be the question i would ask him, so tom, how is the, how is the cuban voter tracking, how goes the cuban voter in this case, we may be seeing a tsunami latino participation. >> is tom still with us? is he still wired up? can he take that question? yeah. tom, maria theresa kumars wondering what youve found in the cuban vote, if youve identified that in this polling. >> so the constraints of the sample size make it difficult to go down to that level of granularity, what i can say, sticki...

Yeah. tom, maria theresa kumars wondering what youve found in the cuban vote, if youve identified that in this polling. >> so the constraints of the sample size make it difficult to go down to that level of granul granularity, what i can say, sticking with what were saying in the crossover republican vote, it stands to reason that the cuban vote is playing an important role in that. and we are seeing a surge in the latino vote in general. in florida and elsewhere. where the likely share, we can ...

This attempt to smear an elections validity is wrong and without factual basis. so heres what we did. we asked the trump campaign what evidence they have that the elections are rigged. they sent us an e-mail listing out several studies they say prove their point. they actually dont. the trump camp cherry-picked information to conclude the entire election system is rigged. its simply not, brooke. researchers at old dominion university believe they found non-citizens voting in large enough numbers...

Misinterpreting and trying to use these cherry-picked information to conclude the entire system is rigged. it is not. we asked the trump campaign for its proof. they sent this e-mail today. this details all the facts alleged by them about fraud and we checked them out. the big one is this study. its done by researchers at old dominion university that shows noncitizens voting in large enough numbers in some areas could effect very tight races. i talked to the author today. he admitted his data, a...

Thats important because saturday and sunday were the days of that really intense fallout from that trump audiotape, him talking about his treatment of women. republicans were disavowing him in droves, particularly on saturday. the final day of the poll was on monday. that was after the sunday night debate of performance that was reviewed fairly well by republicans for donald trump. still, the overall number here is trump 9 points down in a four-way race. that is a deep, deep hole for him to be i...

You can see. i know this is a lot of numbers and just yesterday, just one day after the debate, just people responding that day, cut that 14-point lead in half. down to seven. read into the numbers what you will. thats a small sample size. that does suggest he could be recovering a bit after the second debate. even if he recovers to where he was before, still behind in the race. >> he is still in a bad place. trying to catch up with the situation that was already really troubling. the important ...

Thank you for saying that background checks make sense. and i think that hasu become unnecessarily politicized that issue. so lets start there. they do work. there is evidence of based on states experiences that when background checks are increased, gun deaths go down. when they are decreased, gun deaths go up. thats a given. >> you can give me one state though? can you back that up with state stats? go. >> yes. the state of missouri according to johns hopkins university research when background...
