mid-terms and we are now 16 days away and the stakes are very high with control of congress on the line. new polling just in, giving us a fresh look at what is happening in the key state of florida. we haven t seen a lot of polling since hurricane michael slammed into florida s panhandle and the u.s. senate race and race for governor have been intense and neck to neck. democrats have a slight edge in those two main races. senior political analyst mark preston is joining us from tamp a. cnn will be joining us will be joining us for the governor s race. what are we certainly see is enthusiasm among democrats. that s not surprising. that s something we expected to see at this point in the race. we can look at this poll in a couple of ways. one is that it is accurately grabbing the enthusiasm at a time when democrats come
all right. coming up in a brand-new episode of the cnn original series, this is life can lisa ling lisa a meets with the hidden victims of violent crimes. children whose parents are responsible for infamous killings. here s a preview. tonight, we re meeting two children of notorious killers. your father was responsible for so much carnage. i spent so much of my life wondering why he chose the path he did. what s it like to be the child of a murderer? it was just unimaginable to go from thinking that your father s prince charming, to realizing he s the boogeyman. and the boogeyman s real. and what, if anything, can they tell us about what motivated their fathers to kill?

that a lot of the anger in the air will start to dissipate. i think you are going to see a huge turn out and i do believe this is going to be a strong year for course correction and a restoration of that spirit of moderation that is more typical of our american journey. we will leave it there for now. good to see you both. appreciate it. thank you, fredricka. we are continuing our series, taking the polls of suburban women. a key voting block that could tip the scales. 16 days from now. cnn spoke to five women in minnesota representing different political views and parties about the me too movement, president trump s treatment of women, and the dramatic supreme court confirmation fight. it did seem that brett kavanaugh s confirmation process fired up both bases. both republicans and democrats. how do you feel about how that went down? it was embarrassing. i was so disheartened. and then things got better when
