Transcripts For CNNW Anderson Cooper 360 20161027

John king joins us to break it down by the number. Theres new polling tonight. Significant gains it seems for trump. What exactly is changing . It is tighter, anderson. And we should not be surprised. Remember the country weve live in the last 20 years. It should not be surprising if this race gets tight into the end. A new Fox National Poll Shows Hillary clinton up just three points. Just average it out as youre smart to do. When you average out the most recent National Polls we have Hillary Clinton with six points leading. Still commanding but down from eight or nine just a few days ago because the new polls coming out show a tighter race. Some of the state polls get more interesting. And you say does donald trump have a chance as we have 12 more days essentially of campaigning . Look at these numbers in florida. Other polls have shown secretary clinton ahead in florida in recent days. New bloomberg poll, donald trump up. Statistically thats a tie. Margin of error but indicates some momentum. In a state he absolutely has to win. And anderson when you look closer into this bloomberg poll, tells you a lot about the challenge for candidates heading into the final days of the campaigning after tonight. If this issue is about the economy and about change in washington, look at this. Donald trump has lopsided edges when voters are asked whos best on those issues. If he can focus on economy and change in washington that gives him standing. If this is about who has the temperament, the better role model for children, best commander in chief, that is Hillary Clintons wheel house. Which is why you hear her repeatedly saying donald trump is unfit. Look at battleground new hampshire. Some conflicting advice. Monmouth University Poll showing some momentum. But still showing a clinton lead. Some volatility in the polling. And also in nevada. Hillary clinton thought a week ago this state was moving her way and she was about to put it away. New poll out tonight shows a tie. 43 to 43 . If you look at nevada, look at florida, look at the tightening national perspective. No question donald trump can claim some momentum. How much . Well filter through that in the next few days. Do the better numbers give trump a clear path to 270 electoral votes . Clearer, yes. But still a steep climb. Go to the other map. We still have secretary clinton with overwhelming edge. But have to look at nevada and florida over the next couple of days. If the numbers are right. We have nevada leading blue. If donald trump can take that away. Say i give it to donald trump for the sake of this map. If hes moving in nevada and can hold the state. Florida is most important state for donald trump. If that poll is correct, not outlier, say he gets that. But here is how it gets so hard for donald trump. Say he has that momentum. He still has to be almost more than perfect in the final days. He has to win where he is tonight. North carolina. Cant get to 270 without it. He has to hold ohio. Thats a tie right now. Maybe a slight edge. Even if he does that. Wins nevada, not easy. Wins florida. Not easy. Wins North Carolina, not easy. Ohio not easy. Even the republicans think in the close races clinton will win in the end because of the edge. But lets give them to trump in this map. Why is mike pence in utah tonight . Because they still have a problem in the ruby red west. Trump mest get that back. Even if he does all that, and that is a perfect, perfect ten days ahead, hes still behind. Even if trump is perfect, even if republicans come home. Even if they win the close races he has a ways to go. Is it better for donald trump tonight . Yes. Is the hill still steep . Absolutely. Why should anyone believe the polls . If im sitting at home and watching tonight. For the last couple days the democrats have been crowing about how good things look. Cautiously but still optimistic. Suddenly new polls. And how accurate are these things. Dont believe any one poll. Average them out and look for friend lines. What is happening. Remember donald trump craters after the access hollywood tape. In the days since a lot of republicans have come home. We live in a very evenly divided country. There are skepticism about the polls but these are professionals. Dont believe one. Average them out and strap in. Weve got 12 days left. All right. Strap in. John king thanks very much. Donald Trump Campaigning in North Carolina. Back in the battleground state where strategists want him to be. After a detour to washington where he attended a Ribbon Cutting just down pennsylvania avenue from the white house. That is where dana bash managed to pull him aside for a rare facetoface interview. First i want to ask you about your event here. There is new audio tape of you talking about the fact that you really have relied on your popularity and the fact that people come to events and helps with free advertising. Was that what this was about . No not at all. This was just under budget, ahead of schedule. That is what this is. Under budget, ahead of schedule. We built a hotel that is going to be one of the great hotels of the world. Opened officially today. And we built it for less money than anticipated and built it by ahead of schedule by over a year. And if the country would do that we would have a country that would be in much better shape. They build highways triple the cost. Hospitals. And for people to say you are taking out of swing states to go do this, you say . I say the following. You have been covering me for the last long time. I did yesterday eight stops and three major speeches and ive been doing this for weeks straight. I left here for an hour and a half. Im going to North Carolina right now. And florida and up to new hampshire. For you to ask me that question is actually very insulting because Hillary Clinton does one stop and then she goes home and sleeps. And yet you will ask me that question. I think it is a very rude question to be honest with you. And what i do is i want to back my children. My children work very hard. Ivanka in particular. And at the opening of the hotel i want to help my children. Very important to me. We had a Ribbon Cutting which was quick and i stopped in d. C. But the real key to this is i want the American People to understand that this is under budget, ahead of schedule. And we need that for the United States. Just so you know, ive been reporting on the fact that youre going to North Carolina for a couple of stops straight from here. But my next question is there is a new poll in florida that has you up a couple of points. Other swing states have you really in the hunt. Given that are you prepared to write a check to help yourself get over the finish line . And if so, how big . And im talk about advertising. Let me just tell you that we have ill have over a hundred Million Dollars in the campaign. Hillary clinton has nothing in the campaign. Shes all special interest and donors and they give her the money and she will do whatever they tell her too do. But i will have over a hundred Million Dollars in the campaign and im prepared to go much more than that. Now, here is the question. New polls are coming out. Were leading florida. Doing great in North Carolina and pennsylvania, great all over. Really well in new hampshire. Ohio as you know and iowa are doing fantastically well. Im telling you, cnn doesnt say it, but i think were going to win. To do that you have a pretty big bank account. You could and time is running out. The clock is ticking. Will you write a check. Ive already done it. Already written a number of them. Specifically to get up on the air to combat the ads you say Hillary Clinton is running against you. In florida she was 50 to one against me. You have the means to combat that. 50 1 and im leading. In the old days you would get credit if you spend less money and have a victory, that would be a good thick. Today they want you to spend money. Ill have over a hundred million. Im willing to spend much more than that in i have to. Were seeing in florida, other places, the lines going into voting booths, going into the voting areas are unbelievable. In florida yesterday we passed four of them. The lines were three and four blocks long. Those are not her voters because her voters have no enthusiasm whatsoever. Could you be specific how much are you willing to put no. Already over a hundred million in. Im willing to informs more than that. Like how much . Dont, lets go for your next question dana. My last question because im getting the hook over here. In this speech here you talked about the fact that this is the second best piece of real estate on pennsylvania avenue. In 14 days are you hoping you are going to be spending after that more time here or down the street . I just hope i built a Great Company. Truly a Great Company with some of the great assets in the world and not only our country but others. And i predicted brexit. And you were one of the people who asked about brexit. I said it was going to happen. And not saying this is brexit. And i think the result is going to be the same if not more so. We are going to have i think a tremendous victory. People dont want four more years of obama. They dont want hillary with all of the corruption and all of the problems. And you see all of these wikileaks coming out and they are a disaster. And when you see john podesta who i think is terrible the way he speaks about her. But she has bad instincts. Podesta saying that the person he works for has bad instifrpgts. I think it is terrible. But so many other things. Even worse than that about their honesty and dishonesty. I really think were going to have a tremendous victory. And if i didnt think that i wouldnt say it. I would say well were going to be fighting hard. I believe we are winning. I actually think we are winning. I dont think it is a question of were going to try and win. You start look at the polls whats happening and more importantly start looking at all the people going to vote and sending in ballots. Were way ahead in virtually every state, every area i think were going to have a great victory. Thank you mr. Trump. Thank you for your time. I appreciate it. Dana bash joins us now. So why were you pressing him on the significance of hell write a check. Because ive heard more and more frustration voiced from republicans who want donald trump to win who think he can win in that hes fighting with one hand bind his back. And he even admitted to me hes being outspent or outgunned by Hillary Clinton on the air in hard hitting Television Ads against him, especially in places like florida. The complaint among republicans is he has the means to go one his own ads hitting her to have a fair fight. In fact i was told earlier this month the rnc chairman Reince Priebus went to him and said please mr. Trump, you have got to get out that bank account and add to yes hes already given millions of dollars but even give more. Because it is such a nontraditional campaign hes running. Hes sort of in never, never land when it comes to the fundraising mechanism certainly way different than any modern day republican or any president ial candidate has had. So that is the reason. It is because people think it is doable, it is gettable. But he needs to be fighting a fair fight. And for somebody like donald trump that means put your own money in. Dana bash. Thanks. Lets bring in the panel. Clinton supporters, jonathan is political strategist, kerny the National Spokesperson for move on dot organize and maggie and jeffrey lord, Scottie Hughes and you heard donald trump talking about putting even more money into the race. How much of a difference do you think it could make . With 12 days left misi talked about a 100 million figure. Hes currently right now according to reports at about 60 million. Of his own money . Of his own money. That would mean another 40 million in the next 12 days. That is a lot of monies, i dont think is going to happen. Danas reporting is correct. There is a lot of frustration among republicans. He talks about his bank account. He has not put in more of his own money. He has struggled to raise from traditional donors who hes criticized or dont like him. I dont think its going to make a difference now. It could have been made a difference on Television Ads many weeks ago, or working on a ground game and improving it or adding additional staff. He has never liked putting in his own money. He did put in a lot more than people thought he would. So what do you make of the polls . Why do you think they are getting tighter in florida. I think john is right. Among other things, florida is a tricky state. President obama barely won in 2012. But hes right. Were in a partisan country. People are looking for that reason to vote either republican or democrat. And you also saw one thing that hasnt been talked about much. Clinton started making it more of a partisan race. After trying to isolate trump as not a republican, something different. She now moved to helping down ballot democrats. By definition doing that it is going to make the race more partisan and less about wooing independents. Does that worry you shes focusing on down ballot. Not at all. If anything shes being spart. Wants to be able to govern. Overconfident . No. Democrats coming out is good for everybody. I dont think so at all. But looking back at polls for a second. Averaging polls after polls, shes up by six. Which you got to remember i think the president won with less than 5 percentage points. So six for a divided polarizing country, six is not a bad number and i want to talk about florida for a second. I think the poll, the bloomberg poll is an outlier. And bloomberg is historically known for bad sampling. The party i. D. For republicans is plus 4. Which cant be the case because florida demographics is changing. African americans in that poll is at 12. And it should be between 14 and 15. So i think that poll is questionable. Arguably whatever happens in florida there is still a tough path to 270 for donald trump. Do you think the democrats are getting overconfident . Yes i do. I think they have two problems. One they have the Enthusiasm Gap problem. And 2, i think they have this overconfidence problem and the two together can be fatal for them. What donald trump has going for him are the issues. And he is getting at these issues every day. And through the gift of the gods hes getting this gift about obamacare and ill just give you an example from pennsylvania. The online version of the harris burg patriot news featured a story and theyre endorsed Hillary Clinton featured a story that obamacare insurance rates were going up 33 and then went through chapter and verse what that meant in the local area. You think its sinking in . Absolutely. Just ahead Newt Gingrich tangling with megyn kelly over trumps accusers, an example of manexplaining .

Hes in North Carolina wrapping it up. Back with our panel. It is always fascinating because i remember i dont know. I feel like it was eight weeks ago it was all positive polls for trump and had momentum and now it switched and its getting close again now. Should the polls be believed . I think john is right. You look at the totality of all the polls to be fair. But i do think it is unquestionable that donald trump needs to win the state of florida for a path to the white house. What we saw over the last two or three days, seven or eight events down in florida. Norls today. Do you think him spending time big events in florida is having the impact . Some of that. When he gets to a local area he drives that local Media Coverage which he does very well. Large rallies and consumes the local media market. It is really good for him. Get his message out in those areas. If you look at places hes been recently they have been the traditional counties where you have to lock up your vote early.
