Our final prediction before the election. The latest on the shifts in the map and well look at the National Polls released just moments ago and also, this morning, with Hillary Clinton focusing efforts on the last full days of campaigning with states shes looking at and what theyre saying about the fbi announcement theres no evidence of wrongdoing in those newly discovered emails associated with Anthony Weiners account and his laptop. Plus, this latest move as donald trump back to criticizing the fbi calling the system rigged. And what does trumps battleground strategy look like on the eve of the election . He is pressing hard into democratic territory. Good morning, everyone. Im tamron hall coming to you live from our msnbc election headquarters in new york. Just 19 hours until the first polls open on election day in six Eastern States and 12 hours down to people in the tiny town of dixville, new hampshire, holding their election at midnight and final full day of campaigning, heres the state of the president ial race right now. Our final nbc News Survey Monkey tracking poll out just this morning shows secretary clinton with a 6 point lead nationally. New polls from the Washington Post abc news, the new york times, cbs news and fox news all show clinton with a 4 point lead. And here are the greatest battleground state polls. Clinton up 11 points in new hampshire. But clinton and trump are tied in florida and donald trump has a slim 1 point lead in ohio. And more than 42 Million People have already cast their ballots including record turnout in the critical states of florida, North Carolina, and nevada with a surge in early voting. Latino voters set to hit a record high turnout at the polls. And this will be a frantic final day of campaigning by both candidates. Donald trump is about to hold his first rally of the day. Sarasota, florida, is where hes focused. And then on to North Carolina, pennsylvania, new hampshire, and michigan. Hillary clinton will hold a rally in the next hour at the university of pittsburgh and then michigan. This evening, she holds a rally in philadelphia with her family and a president and first lady, Michelle Obama there as well. Bruce springsteen, jon bon jovi will perform and with her daughter and husband in North Carolina. We have all of the correspondents fanned out throughout the country as our final nbc news battleground map is out and two changes affecting the tossup column. Joining me now to break it down, nbc news Senior Editor michael murray. This is our final battleground map and let me walk you through some of the changes and there werent big ones. We ended up moving georgia back to tossup. That was in the lean republican column. The polls there actually very surprisingly close. And then utah, we move that into Donald Trumps column in the republican column. We had had that in tossup but those are the only two changes and to me, the big headlines are that you have Hillary Clinton at 274 and you have donald trump at 170. All you need is 270 to be able to win the presidency and so Hillary Clinton is the one holding the advantage right now. When we look at the shift specifically going back to georgia, for example, congressman louis, the civil rights icon on it and there seems to be a confidence with democrats as it relates to georgia but also hearing that Donald Trumps campaign is confident though about michigan. Yeah, and tamron, michigan has been kind of the really interesting story in all of this and what donald trump, he actually has two paths, two things he has to do and he has to win all the battlegrounds. So youve got to give him florida and georgia. Lets give him georgia and North Carolina and lets give him ohio and give him arizona in the tossup and lets add new hampshire. That puts him only at 263. Seven short of the 270 needed so what donald trump has to do is go into a michigan, turn that blue, and im sorry, turn that red to finally get above 270 and mark, thank you very much. Lets turn to the headlines this morning from the Clinton Campaign, secretary clinton yet to address fbi director james comeys latest announcement. And there was no new evidence in the new trove of emails to change his conclusion that clinton should face no charges related to her emails. This morning, her Campaign Chairman robbie mook asked about secretary clintons silence last night on the matter. Is the idea now any mention of the word email at a Campaign Rally is simply a taboo . I just think americans have heard a lot about this. The director resolved this yesterday. Thats what we asked him to do, to get the information out there. And bring it to a close. And so were going to move on and we want to talk about the voters and their lives. Secretary clinton will air a 2 minute tv ad making her Closing Argument on nbc and cbs in prime time tonight and president obama will be making Campaign Appearances for secretary clinton today in michigan and new hampshire. The first later this hour at the university of michigan. And thats before the president and first lady will join the clintons at that big rally planned for philadelphia. Nbcs Kelly Odonnell is covering the Clinton Campaign for us this morning. She is live from the university of pittsburgh where secretary clinton will hold a rally at the top of the hour. The focus heavily on pittsburgh but also this new story line that the campaign could be concerned about michigan. Reporter well, tamron, this is sort of a tonal shift on the final day. Voting predominantly done on election day. We talked so much about early voting. That doesnt apply here in pennsylvania or a place like michigan. So closing out the campaign by trying to drive out the turnout and to have sort of the big emotional end point and so less of the partisanship today and more looking to bring the country together, part of this election cycle for really two years, anxious to bring it to a close. So emotionally, it has a different component today and we heard that from secretary clinton as she was about to board her Campaign Plane earlier today as she was talking to reporters about what this final turn means. Having a chance to make all these stops today. The event tonight at Independence Hall is really meaningful to me. About where it is and everyone whos there. I really do want to be the president for everybody. People who vote for me. People who vote against me because i think that these splits, these divides that have been not only exposed but exacerbated by the campaign on the other side are ones that we really do have to bring the country together. Reporter and of course, there are still miles to go before she sleeps and donald trump sleeps and the country gets to wait for the results, but for Hillary Clinton, it is about trying to sort of turn down the harsher rhetoric of the campaign and try to reach beyond tuesday and to try to convey a message of how she would lead if shes the one chosen tomorrow. And so what we can also tell you is supporters are out. Tired but here in pittsburgh at the foot of the cathedral on the campus on what is a really beautiful autumn day. Tamron . Looks like a beautiful day. Going back to the Closing Argument, this video entitled tomorrow, let me play a bit of that and quickly get some more analysis on it from you, kelly. I want to be a president for all americans, not just those who support me in this election, for everyone. Because we all have a role to play in building a stronger, fairer america. The second thing i want you to know is this. I will work my heart out as president to make life better for you and your family. You see theres a soft tone, the optimism, the talk of family. Even the lighting, many people over the weekend wondered if she would, in this campaign, still attacking donald trump when she would make that uplifting pivot and well see that tonight. Reporter that is a very important pivot. All that she has to say about donald trump and the harsher terms seems to be behind us now and with the email issue in their minds behind them, do not expect her to talk about that. Aides told me this is really about trying to present a Closing Argument that is about leadership and because this is reminding me of Hillary Clinton in the senate where when she got there, she was very low profile, iffing if you can do that trying to build and form relationships. Thats what shes trying to do now and thats the note she plans to end on. Thank you very much, kelly. And to Donald Trumps Closing Argument, at a rally right now making his case. The first of his rallies in five different battleground states today. Here are the headlines coming in and again, the live event happening in florida. Trump casting his doubts on director comey not changing his conclusion on Hillary Clintons emails. Trump insisting you cant review 650,000 emails in eight days, he says. His campaign manager, kellyann conway questioning the fbi directors latest announcement. Why reopen an investigation if theres no there there . Thats something both sides ask and its been a hot mess from the beginning. Donald trump running his two minute ad to make his Closing Arguments to voters and new this morning, Trump Campaign sources tell nbc news among those being considered to serve in a trump administration, Rudy Giuliani for attorney general, Newt Gingrich for secretary of state and retired general and defense secretary for National Security advisors. In sarasota, florida, donald trump about to hold his first rally. The deficit that donald trump has with female voters, suburban voters and they roll out, peter, information on some of his early hires and they are all pretty controversial men. Reporter thats right. And we should let you know, donald trump started speaking. Hes going to punk chalt his remarks at this speech throughout the course of the day. Over five stops with what they describe as a positive call to action and the unifying message here. The crowd erupting here in sarasota but whats notable is they havent been all that unifying. Donald trump just said if they win, referring to Hillary Clinton, america loses bigly as he likes to say. He has been peppering speeches of the idea of a rigged system insisting its impossible 650,000 emails could have been reviewed by the fbi in just nine days. Not all were related to Hillary Clinton. Some were duplicates and some personal. Only a limited number were told by Law Enforcement sources were likely new. But were also expecting him to try to make a direct appeal to some of the communities, africanamericans and hispanic americans who the campaign insists have been left behind by the growth of president obama likes to tout. A short time ago in a room exclusively white, blacks with blacks for trump and erupted in cheers. Well follow up but i want to follow on the Closing Argument. Are they expected to have a pivot to a more positive view of america as Hillary Clinton is doing in this ad . Her Closing Argument or is it go all the way down . That the system is rigged. Reporter a positive call to action. A unifying message, literally, minutes ago but for the first ten minutes of this speech, donald trump went right after the system is being rigged. If they win, america loses. This is our last real chance to make the change america wants. Without this, were out of luck. Thank you, peter, very much. As i mentioned, donald trump is holding the rally in sarasota, florida. By all accounts, state he needs very early. Lets listen to what he has to say now. Reject the media and political elite thats bled our country dry. Its finally time for us to fight for america. Were going to fight for america. Im not a politician. My only special interest is you. You know, i built a great company. One of the great companies. One of the great real estate companies. Some of the most incredible assets in the world including doral right down the road, other things. Buildings with the desert family and with related. We had a tremendous career. But, and i was on the other side. You know, my whole life, i was always watching, watching. And its very nice and very comfortable to be on the other side. But i love this country. And this country was going bad. It was going bad. So i went like from sort of an ultimate insider, i mean, people that absolutely, senators, called, don, how are you . Come over, give them a check and say, how are you . The day i announced, it was like, donald who . We dont know donald trump. You have to see these guys. I know them better than anybody. It was time. There was time. I had to join the other side which is you. We are going to do things so special. Our country was in trouble. Our country was in trouble. 20 trillion in debt. Making deals like the deal with iran where we give them 150 billion. Where we give them 1. 7 billion in cash. You know what that is . That wouldnt fill up this side of the arena. The things our military is allowed to deplete. Our military is depleted. We cant do that. This is among the times where we most need. So this is donald trump, part of his Closing Argument in florida. Very similar, honestly, to the speeches he gave drgt puring th primary, a struggling america that needs fixing. He cited the rigged media, the rigged system. So the uplifting pivot that Peter Alexander reported perhaps will come in later and now we hear Donald Trumps first rally of the day and started off in the campaign speech, the stump speech weve come up with over the last 16 or 18 months. Sheila jackson lee. Congresswoman, thank you so much for your time. Good morning to you. Great to be with you. Thank you. Let me get your reaction first to director comey last night, late sunday. Now saying that his conclusion has not changed. Theyve reviewed these emails found on Anthony Weiners laptop and has nothing to do with Hillary Clinton. Is it too late . Well, first of all, let me say that secretary clinton is forging ahead strongly and beginning to tell her story of what america will be under her leadership, if were so fortunate, meaning all that are supporting her to be victorious tomorrow. Shes focusing on the kind of america we want to live in and im excited about that story, excited about her own personal story and the fact that she is reaching out to every american, wanting to represent all of them. Having said that, its very clear that theres a great deal of respect by americans over the years and decades of the importance of the fbi and the investigators that have been part of upholding the law. Its unfortunate that were at a point where we are because, yes, the letter did say that there are no different conclusions after looking at thousands of emails through an automated process and review. Then that was delivered in july. I believe from the perspective of the former secretary, it is finished but its unfortunate because it might have been more appropriate to do that thorough review as was done by very responsible and, how shall i say, professional members of the fbi and then have a statement as opposed to the one done on october 28th. That is something well have to look at. But i want to tell you right now that we have a positive surge going on in North Carolina. I just came out of North Carolina. They are excited. The africanamerican vote. Is she going to win North Carolina . Strong on election day. Congresswoman, will she win from what youve seen on the ground . Let me say prayerfully, she will. They said its an election day turnout. I believe she has the same opportunity in florida, election day turnout with people of goodwill. Women are praying. In cleveland, im with congresswoman and they are turning out voting today, even voting tomorrow. The africanamerican vote is excited. Listen to the great endorsement by lebron james and many others. Beyonce over the weekend. But i think its going to be about america. Were not going to be groups. Were going to be americans who go out and answer the questions that secretary clinton has asked. What kind of america do we want it be and frankly, i think thats going to drive a lot of people to the polls. A lot of people are doing that historic vote on eleion day. 50 in some states. 60 in other states and looking to that surge. We think this matter with the fbi is over. We want the secretary to talk about who she is and how she will lead and how she will bring us together. We think shes ready to do that and im excited about her 2 minute presentation. I want to move off to your point of this email issue and the conclusion yesterday to these polls. You are in ohio. Donald trump is leading by 1 point there. His team seems to believe that they can pull off a victory in michigan. Also, they believe that they could potentially pull out a victory in minnesota. You said that so much of what will happen in the next cycle is about president obamas legacy. How do the democrats fight back in this final day in key states like michigan, like ohio, that have quite honestly been divided amongst race, class, and this fear f
