pennsylvania. that s his key. that would do it, but by god, that is putting a lot of eggs in one basket in a state where hillary clinton has a significant advantage right now and that has been democratic since 1988. that is a tricky proposition for donald trump. all right, david chal yan. appreciate looking at the polls. back with the panel now. alex, how hard is it for donald trump to try to turn these numbers around? because you could argue we have seen big changes just in the last couple months going back and forth, but is it too late to change? it s definitely difficult. it s not impossible for him to get some of those republicans back, and if there s a silver lining here for trump, it s that most of the drop is coming from those republicans who are abandoning him, so if he plays to the gallery, plays to the base, not just his base, but the traditional republican base, maybe he can bring those numbers back up but that math that david was showing, as dire as it looks, actually d
overconfident? reporter: believe it or not, there is. this is something that really for the month of september was not discussed when democrats were very worried but now there is a sense among clinton advisers that they do not want democrats to get too sure of themselves ear. they re watching all the news coverage as well. they re seeing, you know, an unprecedented implosion on the republican side so they are trying to make the case that they need people to vote for them. and i am told that hillary clinton is sending that message directly to her staff saying there s a no-gloating policy. they must take this seriously. she is, you know, going to be campaigning until the end, but it s one of the reasons she s doing a nighttime rally here in ohio. anderson, we simply have not seen her do that much campaigning like this, but she knows that the moment is now to try and seize on this opportunity from donald trump. so jeff, there were another 2,000 e-mails from the clinton campaign chair,
[ cougshh. i have a cold with this annoying runny nose. better take something. dayquil liquid gels doesn t treat a runny nose. it doesn t? alka-seltzer plus cold and cough liquid gels fight your worst cold symptoms including your runny nose. oh, what a relief it is! well, numbers certainly get your attention, new nbc news/ wall street journal reporting, shows hillary clinton with a lead over donald trump. her lead is 14. the state-by-state road to the white house, we re joined by cnn political director david chalian. the fact donald trump is down below 40 points in this poll, that s very significant, isn t it? hugely significant, anderson. 35%, you don t get down to 35% without losing some of your core supporters. so we took a look at just republican support. in that nbc/ wall street journal poll, donald trump is getting 72% of republicans. by comparison, on election day
you my dad was a basketball coach and i can tell you with confidence they all say the same exact type of stuff. reporter: her husband accepted trump s explanation that it was locker room talk then took a page out of trump s book and blamed us, the media, for vilifying trump. you guys hold a trial, you guys find him guilty. reporter: we re not trying anyone. no, no, that s what the media does, they take words and make a huge leap over basically a grand canyon and they said he s a sexual predator. it s never happened. he said a few words that he regrets. reporter: and he wasn t the only one who took issue with us. why do you guys lie to us? why are you working for clinton? you are. reporter: okay. you guys are liars. you are biased. and we re not dealing with it no longer. reporter: those who did talk with us about the tape said they were offended, but don t expect that to change their vote. i didn t like it but it s not enough to discount him in the
says and this comes after donald trump encouraged more espionage over the summer and continued to deny the hack, even happened at sunday s debate. the timing shows the statement says to you putin knows trump had a bad weekend and a bad debate. clearly here trying to deflect all of this on donald trump and vladimir putin, anderson, but note, major headline in this, but certainly shows how internal things are agreed upon. more importantly, the clinton campaign believes there s much more that could still be released in these wikileaks in the next 29 days. jeff zeleny, thanks very much. republican chairman reince priebus late today said there s no change in his relationship with the trump campaign. earlier today as we mentioned house speaker paul ryan said when it comes to his own relationship with trump, there certainly is. ryan telling fellow republicans he ll no longer defend the manor campaign for him. plenty of other republicans weighing in as well. not to mention weighing their a
