For help after his 21yearold daughter goes missing. It would take a miracle. But were holding on to miracles. Her car found near an abandoned trail. Rescue dogs and investigators hunting for clues. Epic fail times two. Those two crucial kicks in a fierce overtime showdown. No good. The seahawks and cardinals forced into a tie. Why some players are saying this was the craziest ending ever. Pete carrolls expression says it all. Sure does. What a game overnight. The seahawks and cardinals ending in a 66 tie. Wasnt a great game. You saw that missed field goal. Both teams have one right at the end. It ended in the tie. No one scored a touchdown the entire game. Larry fitzgerald said hes never played in a game like that before. And more than 3 1 2 hours, no winner, and speaking of football though, timmy. Tim tebow, our good friend is here this morning to join us live. We begin with the race for the white house. Two weeks and a day before the final votes, our new tracking poll shows a 12point lead for Hillary Clinton. Her biggest yet. Donald trump fighting back with a rare sunday rally. Abcs tom llamas starts us off from trump tower in manhattan. Good morning, tom. Reporter good morning. Both candidates making their final arguments. Hillary clinton trying to take advantage in the polls and break away. Donald trump is still introducing new plans and ideas like congressional term limits but still spending so much time defending his character. Overnight, donald trump choppering into southwest florida. Disputing recent polls that have him down and out. Announcing they are backwards. I really think those polls are very inaccurate when it comes to women. I think were doing better with women than with men, frankly. Reporter but some on trumps team accepting what may be reality. We are behind. She has some vapgs like i6 Million Dollars in ad buys just in the month of september. Reporter trump is offering a new plan. Unveiling it at gettysburg. Its a contract between donald j. Trump and the american voter. Reporter but as trump outlined his vision for his first 100 days in office, he couldnt help but settle some scores. The republican nominee threatening the women who have accused him of Sexual Misconduct with lawsuits. All of these liars will be sued after the election is over. Reporter Hillary Clinton seizing on the distractions trump cant seem to shake. He can go to gettysburg and say hes going to sue women who have made accusations against him. Im going to keep talking about what we want to do. Reporter and both candidates still battles each other over stami stamina. You watch her at the end of the debate where shes exhausted. She could hardly make it to her car. I have now stood next to donald trump for 4 1 2 hours in three debates. Now who says i dont have the stamina to be president and commander in chief . [ cheers and applause ] reporter and snl taking on the final debate and trumps stance on the rigged election. All of the newscasters are making me look so bad. And how are we doing that . By taking all of the things i say and all of the things i do, and putting them on tv. [ laughter ] reporter now, in the coming days, were going to hear a lot about two states. Florida and north carolina. Donald trump knows he needs both of those states for any clear path to victory. Hillary clinton knows this as well. She will be spending time in both battleground states. George. And so many people in those states already voting. Thank you, tom. Control of congress at stake in this election. Both in gop hands right now. Those majorities may be in jeopardy. Lets go to jon karl with a closer look at that. Sunset first, john. Democrats need four seats in the senate to get control. N. Democrats need four seats in the senate to get control. Thats looking more likely. Democratic chances of winning the senate have gone up as Donald Trumps campaign has gone down. Our partners at 538 look at the odds of a Democratic Senate takeover are at nearly 70 . We have 11 Competitive Senate races. In ten of those, republicans are playing defense. We have two seats that are already looking like likely democratic pickups. Thats illinois and wisconsin. Three others tilt towards republicans, and then we have six seats. Those are the ones in yellow on the map that are pure tossups. Democrats only need to win half of them to gain control of the senate. And i have to tell you, george, in every single one of those races, republican candidates have been forced to come out and defend or take account for things donald trump has said or done. Whether they embrace him or distance themselves from him. In the house, much tougher for democrats. They need 30 seats there to get control. Even the most optimistic democrats say theyre unlikely to get those 30 seats they need get control of the house, but Top Republican operatives feel theyll lose at least a dozen seats. Maybe as many as 15. That would cut the majority in half. That would make it tough for paul ryan to control the house. It could even put his speakership in jeopardy. If things keep going so badly at the top of the ticket, i would not rule out a possibility of a big wave election that takes everybody by surprise. Things go bad at the top, they could go very bad for house republicans. Boy, everything breaks. Thank you, jon. We bring in matt dowd. Hell break down our latest abc news poll and down the stretch they come. We have been talking about Hillary Clinton opening up the lead. Enthusiasm for her is also growing. The thing is not the undecided voters. Its the enthusiasm. Of supporters. And for six months, donald trump had a gain on that. He had a margin of victory on that. And now Hillary Clinton has taken a slight lead on enthusiasm in voters. When you are looking at the last 15 days, thats what matters most. Is it partly because of donald trump taking the stance about the election being rigged . That doesnt seem to be playing well with voters. I think its a combination of things. I think its that. I think its Donald Trumps not talking to a Broader Group of voters, and i think that Hillary Clinton winning three debates, one after another, helps her supporters get more engaged. What is her strategy right now . We talked about this last week, about when you go into a prevent defense. What should she do . She has to be careful not to cross the line from confidence to cockiness. She cant get to cockiness. In the end, many times, voters get more enthusiastic if they think youre going to win. If she looks like she has a lead in the polls, which is around 6 or 7, not 12. That helps among her voters to get more enthusiastic. And what would donald trump have to do to turn things around . I think its a very difficult prospect. Prayer. I think its a very difficult prospect. Especially after a weekend of airing his grievances. He needs to be like kramer in seinfeld and hope for a festivus miracle. Contrast to what jon karl was saying, its possible that it could be a wave, for Hillary Clinton, but most times when a candidate has a lead of this size, it tends to close up at the end. My expectation is on election day, this will be a five or sixpoint race. That is solid, but close. But in a polarized environment like this, keep in mind that barack obama won overwhelmingly in 2008, bus he won by seven points. I think its around that. Overseas to the battle against isis. Where American Special forces are helping iraqi troops reclaim the key city of mosul. Its a fierce fight, and abcs chief Global Affairs correspondent, Martha Raddatz is on the ground with the latest. Good morning, martha. Reporter good morning, george. There are 30,000 iraqi forces taking part in this attack on mosul, backed up by thousands of americans.

So far, dozens of towns, hundreds of square miles, liberated from the grip of isis. In an exclusive interview at a base in northern iraq, secretary of defense, ash carter, telling us the battle is going according to plan. Whats happening is that a cordon is being placed. An evertightening noose around mosul. Reporter the iraqis may be in the lead, but with americans in close support. For the secretary, it is a dangerous but vital mission. We must do this. We have to protect ourselves from isil. They intend harm to our country and our people. Reporter u. S. Troops we spoke with are well aware of the threat and the risks here in iraq. Some of them are on their fourth deployment. Four, all in iraq. This is the fourth . The fighting is expected to get fiercer as iraqi troops close in and enter the city. Were ready for anything. Were prepared for all contingencies. If whats for sure is its going to be a tough fight because for isil, this is a very important location. Which is exactly why we need to destroy them here. Reporter to fully reclaim mosul from isis will probably take months. But to fully stabilize the area, it will take years. Robin . Thank you very much. Back here at home, a terrifying ridealong.

It rolls to a stop. You okay . Reporter the suspects taking off abandoning the mazda. The Police Department posting photos of the aftermath. The patrol cars windows shattered. And this is the gun police say was found in the mazda. Incredibly, both the officer and civilian surviving. The madera Police Department, like so many other departments across the country take civilians out often as part of the Citizens Academy to show people in the community how police work. For at least one woman, thats a lesson that came with too close a call. [ gunshots ] and this morning, were told the Police Officers was not injured at all. The young woman suffered minor cuts from the broken glass but is otherwise okay. But i mean, can you imagine . No. And this is why Police Officers say, theres no such thing as a routine traffic stop.
