Sites in france nik wallenda walks over chicago. We talk to him about his famous walks. He doesnt consider himself a daredevil by this time tomorrow the balance of power may have changed in this country. Millions are expected to turn out for the midterm elections. Some went to the polls for early voting. The races matter, so do issues Like Health Care and jobs. We are told early ballots add up to 18 million. It could determine which party takes control in georgia and north carolina. Democrats are trying to flip georgia and turn it from red to blue. The ballots cast by africanamerican in georgia is 33. 1 . Larger than with the president ial election and 13 point higher than the early viting georgia in the 20 Voting Georgia in 2010 midterms. Promising news for michelle nunn. She and her party counted on a strong get out to vote to get past David Prideaux. It seems to be a similar story in north carolina. Look at the numbered of registered democrats as a whole versus registered republicans. In north carolina, there has been 1. 15 million ballots. Registered democrats count for 47. 6 of ballots. Registered republicans count for 32 . 20 of early voters are independent. This could be a boost for democratic incumbent senate kay hagan. She is slightly ahead of thom tillis. The information is surprising in terms of voter turn out. Well have the final word tomorrow night. David shuster control of the senate could hinge on what happens in the south. This report from new orleans. African American Voters could make the difference. Mary landrieu is a rare politician, in a state where most are republicans. Her reelection bid comes at a time. The president of the United States is unpopular in these parts. He is not unpopular with a group of democratic voters, africanamericans. It is thought if they turn out in large numbers, Mary Landrieu stand a chance of hang on to her seat in her campaign since 1996, democratic senator mary Gabriel Landeskog has a unique recipe of voters for history. Voters have a huge phrase for it. Theres a huge political gum bow, the conservative north and somewhat moderate to conservative south, and the gum bow of protest ants and catholics. The ingredients for a Gabriel Landeskog victory is a turn out by voters, a group that doesnt show up, africanamericans. Its a question of mobilizing them and getting them to the polls. In order to mobilize them, that means you have to dedicate resources. I am not sure how much resources they are dedicating. In tre may a mostly africanamerican neighbourhood in new orleans, few excitement about the election can be spotted, few billboards, just placards. What changed in this environment is not always what is seen, in terms of Voter Mobilization that may not be as visible as it was six years ago. What is visible, is 27 million banquet of political commercials. The candidates and surrogates tooked up tv ads. Land rues pond landrieus opponent puts obama at the top of his list. Landrieu represents washington d. C. , not president obama, but washington d. C. I expect you see the clip the mayor of d. C. Calling her washingtons tenuate. Mary sold out louisiana and the country with obama care. Shes done. President obama is the issue for some republicans. The Approval Rating 40 . In some areas, its more. In louisiana, theres a stark racial divide. A University Poll suggests fewer than 20 of white voters approve of president Barack Obamas performance, compared to black voters. To be honest. The south has not been friendly, its a difficult time for the president to present himself in a positive light as a leader. Cassidy is cooking up an antipresident obama brew. Landrieu says the extra ingredient is 18 years in the senate. After katrina and rita, i have billions to rebuild. Dont people remember what she did . They forgot. You know how voters are, they have a short memory. Thats why landrieu is counting on voters like this. I want someone to represent my interest, do what is best for the community. Crime, education, housing, promoting self sufficiency among new orleanss. With eight candidates, none are expected to get more than 50 on election day. A runoff in december is the likely result. Early voting in louisiana has increased dramatically since the last midterm in 2010, when there was 133,000 voters, this time 143,000 or is 81 increase. Gnats are divided over analysts are divided over whether it means anything, in terms of african American Voters, whether those that voted early support landrieu or others. Many of the candidates this year are no strangers to politics, including Mary Landrieu, jason carter, Alison Lundergan grimes they have a long line of political relatives, Michael Shure has more on the political dynasties growing in the u. S. Reporter one look at the roster of names running for office in 2014 makes it clear that no amount of frantic fundraising or negative advertising and can replace the power of name recognition in american politics. For a country founded on the rejection of royalty, it seems like we like hereditary leadership after all. The governor has opposed letting people in all counties in georgia vote on sunday. Dont look now, theres a carter running for georgia. Not jimmie, but his grandson jason. Thats the tip of the iceberg. How about alaska, mark bag itch is running, his dad former nick bag itch. Alison Lundergan Grimes its a name they know, her farming is jerry lundergan. There was a prior pryor and mark pryor, it is father serving as a congressman, governor and senator from that state. Senator landrieu in louisiana, her father was may moonland m u moonlandrieu. With not one but two parents who served as mayor of caribou, Susan Collins would naturally run for office. She is running again this time for a fourth term as u. S. Senator. We have 2 udalls driveing to remain in the senate. Some from new mexico, their dads were congress mun. And lotton childs came from florida. His grandchild wants to keep the same job in north carolina. And Shelley Moore capito, she group up in the state house in west virginia, her father was a 3term governor. Who does she want to replace jay rockefeller. Say no more. Those are only the senate races. We had two president adams, two harrison, two roosevelts, and so far two bushes. We called the kennedy years camelot. For all the bluster, nepotism and entitlement, we like a familiar name. Next is a 2016 election that many think will pit Hillary Clinton against jeb bush. A participation matchup of the modern day american version of the monta gus and cap ulets. Michael shure joins us. Why . Its familiarity. Its curious. When you see the power of encumbrancy in north america, even with congress at the low ratings, 14 approval and we reelect them in plurality. A study in twine found 10 had family members that served on capitol hill. Does that mean the numbers will grow. Landra has been there for a landrieu has been there for a while. Georgia has jason carter, but theres potential for David Prideaux or michelle nunn. Theres advantages, name recognition. Friends who can raise money is another. Thats the thing. Networks to get involved. In georgia, if you have the name nunn, it will be easier to raise the capital. Same with carpenter. In smaller states it works better. Looking at the races with family ties in play, which stands out. First, if you look at the grandson of a president , that tops the list. You see jason carter down on the polls. When he smiles, he looks like his grandfather. He smiles a lot. It worked in 1976, not so much in 80. He didnt smile so much. Jason carter is the one you look at, and in louisiana, you say therell be a run off. That name is so familiar, especially now that new orleans, their Population Center has a mayor with the same last name. It could help Mary Landrieu. The udalls, that is a fascinating family. Yes. They are both out west. They are brothers. Different states. Sons of environmentalists. One was secretary of the interior, one ran for president , bowe udall ran for president. If he win, hell have to overcome. Pretty impressive. Maybe dynasties in the president ial election. Look at that. It goes back to raising capital. Remember when george w. Bush decided to run, it erased the candidacy of dan quayle. He was going to play off the funding of the bush network, that went away when jed bush said, im running for president , dad. And that helped. Jed could be the beneficiary. It makes it difficult for others to raise money. Fascinating story. Michael shure, thank you. Make sure to stick with al jazeera tomorrow for special election coverage on the day of the election. Well kick off 7 00p. M. Eastern time, and 7 00p. M. Until 2am eastern. Well have the results and an indepth look at the issues at home and around the world. Meteorologist Kevin Corriveau has been tracking electionday weather and what it could mean for voter turn out in key states. There has been a science between elections and weather. Ill tell you what we spoked to see. We are dealing with a frontal boundary. In 2000 the Weather Channel did research and a survey. One, republican supporters tend to get out. Two, decided voters are two times more likely to get out than undecided voters, and another here, very interesting is voters making less than 50,000 a year tend to stay indoors, dont go out for bad weather. Theres a few key states well watch and that is kentucky and arkansas. The good weather iowa, north carolina, georgia, looking at nice weather. Alaska only juno will be part of the state seeing the worst weather. Here is the frontal boundary. This is what we expect to see form. Its making its way to the east. Here is kentucky. Down through arkansas. Louisiana it will be coming in later in the day. Texas is not a key state. It will be stormy for them as we go through the day. Most of the east coast, west coast a little of rain to the north. The only big thing tomorrow when you get out to vote. Here in colorado, temperatures 28 degrees. It will be cool for the area. By the time we end the day, every place across countries will be 50 degrees or higher. Here across the southeast we are looking at nice weather. Atlanta 78 degrees. Washington well above average. I will not forecast the elections. It may have an impact though now to iraq, where the deposit says i. S. I. L. Fighters executed 36 sunni men, women and children in public. More than 300 sunnis have been killed in anbar province. Today the United Nations Security Council condemned the massacre.

Jeh johnson announced the mood saying in part part of the issue is dual citizenship. They can travel to iraq and syria, fight on the side the i. S. I. L. , and the United States wouldnt know, because they have more than one passport. 15,000 of 31,000 i. S. I. L. Fighters are from foreign countries, and 1,000 individuals a month are travelling to the region to fight for i. S. I. L. Other forms of scrutiny include asking individuals, determining whether they travelled under an ail yes. The steps under an alias.

Backed revolutionary front loft space to the nusra front. It is affiliated with al qaeda. The video shows the fighters capturing american weapons. Theres growing concern that the u. S. Strategy anans al nusra front, yil against al nusra front, i. S. I. L. Needs to be change. Nick schifrin sat with the coalition president. Is president obamas strategy for syria working. If we work in good faith and partnership, for sure this will work. I hope that our american friends can listen more to us. So far, has that strategy worked . Right now, to be honest, theres no strategy which you can see, theres just the air strikes. Since theres only air strikes, its not. Has there been coordination between u. S. Air force, military, air strikes on the ground in syria, and the Free Syrian Army commanders who are on the front lines . There is no coordination between the Free Syrian Army, and the command and control center, which is doing the air work. This will develop as soon as possible. You asked for training and weapons. President obama promised 500 million worth of training and weapons. Had you received training and weapons in the last two months. The way its been handled now, the programme would be too late to achieve anything if they leave it as it is. We do not provide the correct i am not of assistance and help to these forces, we are losing these forces, which are very good fighters on the ground against i. S. I. S. And the regime. We are not for boots on the ground or asking for anybody to come and fight our own wars. We are asking for the eight and supply of weapons.
