but the polls are within the margin of error so it is still a toss up headed into tuesday. it is getting a lot of people to the polls. >> and joshua johnson grew up in west palm beach. he has a question for you. >> i wonderthe -- i wonder how much the candidates are talking policy. i haven't heard a lot of them talking about the big industries like tourism, agriculture, aerospace. climate change is probably a big threat to daytona beach. how much is policy part of the campaign? >> reporter: i think that that is a pretty valid observation. and when you are hear visiting florida, if you are in a hotel room or lobby somewhere and you listen to the campaign ads, very little of it is centered around actual issues. you are not marrying about health care or public school funding. these are things that people are voting on, but it is certainly not some of the things that the candidate and the president has been talking about. so there is singlecertainly a l

over the years. republicans have held it since i was like a senior in high school pretty much. and in florida you have all of these different pockets of the state that are very deep blue, deep south florida, a very parts of central florida. tampa, orlando. florida is a fascinating state where turnout reflects a lot of things. it reflects the population that is there, it reflects democrats' ability to get voters to show up. andrew gillum talked about how he is scam paintiis campaigning county because he can't take any votes for granted. but florida is one of these states that just makes no sense. it could go -- >> like the whole country. >> this is why florida is so fascinating. because depending on which county in florida has a certain issue that captivates people's attention. people in tallahassee are talking about the shooting at a yoga parlor where this guy was

spewing hateful rhetoric. people in south florida are still talking about what happened in parkland. different floridians care about different things. and depending on enough people caring about enough things and showing up on election day or beforehand, that is what drives the election. >> so we'll get to arizona. jeff fwllake's seat is up for grabs. and we know that arizona will have a woman representing it in the u.s. senate for the first time in the state's history. kristen sinema has a slight advantage over mcsally. and the arizona green party candidate dropped out. vaughn hillyard is in tempe where the mood has to be good. the sun devils getting the oute. so get us up to speed on this sunday morning. >> reporter: yeah, we were at the arizona state football game yesterday talking with a lot of independents, but also republicans. and that is a question that we have to look at in this race.

color out because they are bad for us, they are bad for the country, they are not smart enough. and so in that sense it is a loss for the republican party in the long term because they have to somehow own the fact that they are sitting back and allowing this kind of rhetoric to exist. >> and i have a question for you. i think for all the momentum that democrats have, there are a few areas where they can show some growth in terms of voter appeal. one with millennial voters. and also latin x voters. have democrats reached their full potential there or do they still have room to grow? >> yes. in other words, no, they have not reached their full potential. and, yes, they have so much to grow. so the big question of course is what is going to happen with latino and latina voters in florida. and i won't make predictions because i was one of those who

this president? >> reporter: both of these campaigns have been bruising in their campaign ads. they spent millions, have gotten national attention because these races are so close. i mean, florida is known for nail biter elections and it will be no different on tuesday. this state is basically evenly divided on both its senate race and its governor's race. but president trump is definitely making florida a top priority in terms of campaign stops. in recent weeks he has been here multiple times, and he is using some tough talk on immigration saying at one point that barbed wire on the u.s. border is a beautiful sight. so certainly speaking to the base, trying to rev up the last minute votes for republicans if he can. here today in daytona beach, we'll seal more trump support headed this way as rudy giuliani will be campaigning with ron desantis. so the stakes are high. and i think democrats are feeling energized with andrew gillum.
