To pray. This is the cbs evening news with scott pelley. Pelley donald trump stepped down today as the unofficial leader and most prominent member of the birther movement, conceding that president obama was born in the United States. But if trumps intention was to put the issue behind him 53 days before the electio i heres major garrett. Donald trump is nothing more than a twobit racial arsonist, who for decades has done nothing but fan the flames of bigotry and hatred. Were not going to take it anymore. We will not elect a chief bigot of the United States of america. Reporter its not just the birther myth. Its the way trump wrapped his walkback inside a commercial for nice hotel. Reporter trump lobbed one false charge and finally extinguished another. The birther allegation against the nations first black president that trump has stoked since 2011 in interviews. Why doesnt he show his birth rtificate. You are not allowed to be af president if you were not born in this country. Reporter and a torrent of tweets from 2011 to november 2014.

Poll of likely voters shows clinton with a 13point lead among women overall. But trump does well with republican women. 82 support him. Pp clinton campaigned today for the votes of women, and nancy cordes is on the campaign. Nancy . Reporter women were certainly on her mind today, scott. She spoke at a black womens symposium here in washington and she said black women had been key to her victories in the primaries. She also said that women have learned that they need to worken harder than men in the office and have more responsibilities at home as well. Across the bridge in virginia, First Lady Michelle Obama did her first Solo Campaign rally for clinton, arguing that clinton alone understands what the job entails. It is excruciatingly clear that there is only one person in this election we can trust withn those responsibilities, only one person with the qualification Hillary Clinton. cheers and applause reporter clinton still has some work to do with women, though. Ou our new poll shows that 40 of women view her favorably, scott, but 46 of them view her unfavorably. R pelley nancy cordes. Thank you, nancy.
