S. Ground troops not to return to iraq. Today, president obama went to u. S. Central command in tampa to meet with generals who run the air war and he had his own warning for isis. In iraq or syria, these terrorists will learn the same thing leaders of al qaeda already know. We mean what we say. Our reach is long. If you threaten america, you will find no safe haven, we will find you eventually. The president repeated again the American Forces deployed to iraq will not have a combat mission. Some criticism.

Here with more on the candidates and issues driving the voters in d. C. First, were six weeks from the election november 4th and four weeks with early voting. Bowser is leading and voters worry about education and jobs. For Muriel Bowser who won the drink primary, her lead over catania is good news for her while challenger Carol Schwartz is even farther back. 14 of voters are undecided. The Washington Post merit poll suggests the race is still uncertain despite bowsers lead because onethird say theyre undecided or might change their mind. For catania, last spring he trailed bowser by 33 and cut that deficit in half but he still trails significantly with about six weeks until the november 4th election day. Veteran campaigner Carol Schwartz making a fifth run for mayor appears to be drawing votes from both candidates lessening the impression her campaign was undercut iting. Twothirds think the city is on the right track. Education and the economy are issues on voters mind followed by housing, ethics and crime. Voters see bowser as the candidate with the best personality and temperament to handle the mayors office, even slightly more on education, which is catanias main focus in this race. The nbc4 Washington Post maris poll is out one day before the scheduled University Forum that will bring the three candidates together for the first time in this fall campaign. Bowser is benefitting being the democratic candidate in this democratic city. Interesting graphic there. Education high among voter interest. Crime at the bottom.

Shes been the police chief since 2007 when she was appointed by adrian fenty. 71 think shes doing a good job. 14 disapprove. 15 are unsure. These are good numbers. It used to be in the low 80s. Shes been there a long while. In any indication from any other candidates whether or not they would keep both of them if they were elected . Yes. People love kathy lanier when it comes to their candidates. David catania has not said he would but sources say he would and Carol Schwartz and bowser said they would. We have Kaya Henderson who took over for Michelle Reed in 2010 and much less confrontational. Her approval rate, 52 doing a good job. 22 saying, no, 26 unsure.
