He started to make wild claims. Kind of scorched earth claims about the election being rigged, et cetera. We have to keep putting out a message and we need to call on everybody to speak out about the fact that we run elections and we run them well here.

Reporter the Clinton Campaign calling this a shameful attempt to undermine the election. And, guys, as chris noted, just a couple days away from that debate and donald trump taking a rare day off the campaign trail on sunday to do debate prep. Hillary clinton doing the same and doing what her team worked so well for her in the first debate. Two days at a hotel just a few minutes away from her home in chappaqua. All eyes will be on las vegas on wednesday. A crucial debate with only 22 days left. Guys . Phil, thanks so much for that. Lets talk about all the new developments with National Political reporter from the New York Times alex burns and cnn bureau chief jackie kosinich. A new argument from donald trump that the election is rigged ever since his poll numbers have faltered. Back when his poll numbers were high and he was doing well, he said that he would have set the election results. Let me remind our viewers and you what he said during the first debate at hofstra about the election. Want to make america great, again . Im going to be able to do it. I dont believe hillary will. The answer is if she wins, i will absolutely support her. I will absolutely support her if she wins. So now whats happening . What a difference a couple weeks make. We saw him throw out the rigged election talk before and the last time was back in august when he was previously down by a massive margin in the polls and he was making the same kind of incendiary warnings that he went into central pennsylvania and said theyre going to rig the election. You know where im talking about. For a lot of civil rights groups, they hear that and think it is insigcitement for rural a suburban areas to go into philadelphia and hassle people at the polls. Theyre concerned about this a hispanic civil right group said hes going to contact the Justice Department to get involved in this preemptively because who knows what could happen on the day of the vote. In terms of the substance of what hes saying, we direct people to the Brennan Center for justice, 2007. To news 21. All of which have vetted the idea of there being rampant fraud at the polls and the conclusion of each and all is its just not true. What is your take . Well, right. Theres also that study that loyola did where it found maybe 30 instances of voter fraud out of billions. This isnt a thing, but thats not stopping donald trump and mike pence, frankly, from spreading this. Yesterday on meet the press mike pence was asked whether they would accept the election results. But he said, yes, but almost in the next breath he went back to the fact that this election is being rigged. Lets play it for people, jackie, so they can get a sense of what trumps running mate indiana governor mike pence. Heres how he dealt with it. We will absolutely accept the results of the election. Look, the American People will speak in an election that will culminate on november the 8th. The American People are tired of the obvious bias in the national media. Thats where the sense of a rigged election goes here. One of the great traditions of america is the peaceful transfer of power. Peaceful transfer of power. Thats not what youre helping to motivate when you keep spreading doubt about the legitimacy of the process. To alisyns point earlier, they havent offered any evidence. People are filling in the blanks themselves. Thats why you see people quoted in various states that there might be violence. Theyre going to make sure that people who dont look like them are vetted or that theyre going to watch them. It really is, its a troubling, troubling rhetoric coming out of the Trump Campaign and coming from down on the ground. Going in to election day and lets not forget people are actually voting right now. So, its not that there might be some fro some at the polls, but this is already happening. Lets dive into the facts, okay, because as chris said, there is this organization, this group, news 21. All the top journalism students from universities around the country and they did this exhaustive study to look at one issue for the year. They looked at it over a decade of voter fraud. And they really dove in and heres what they found. You know whats interesting is, yes, there is. There are isolated incidents, alex. Everybody has an anecdote of some kind. Maybe an urban myth but some anecdote of seeing a bus full of people across a state border and heres what they truly found. Lets put it up for people. 106 million total registered voters. Out of those, there were 2,068 alleged voter fraud cases. It does happen. The allegations have. Okay. The allegations have. And then ten cases of voter impersonation reported. Thats what voter i. D. Is supposed to dead people voting. So, ten ases. Okay. Out of the 146 Million People. Theres more. They drilled down on arizona, ohio, georgia, texas, thats where attorney generals actually prosecuted cases. They prosecuted 38 cases of voter fraud. 38 out of millions. In arizona there were 13 cases of people prosecuted for double voting. 13. And this is over ten years, by the way. This isnt one year, over ten years. Then the National RepublicanLawyer Association looked at it themselves and they found 200 allegations of voter fraud, again, over ten years. Reported by news s outlets. From around the country, 50 states and they found 200 cases. So, does it ever happen . Okay. Occasionally it does happen, but it doesnt happen on a national scale. Doesnt affect the outcome. It would affect the outcome. When it happens its usually not the kind of voter fraud that people imagine when they think of what happens when somebody steals an election. Not people in a county courthouse stuffing ballots in a box and me showing up, hi, im chris cuomo. Im here to vote. People voting in a jurisdiction where theyre no longer technically registered or theyre in a primary where theyre not supposed to be voting in a primary. Each of those infractions is something authorities ought to be looking at. No indication that there is a systemic problem with voting in this country. I spoke to the ohio secretary of state yesterday who is a republican who says were trying hard to run a Fair Election here and this kind of talk just it takes time away from doing our actual and difficult jobs. Alex, jackie, thank you. In other news, federal authorities are investigating the fire bombing of a republican county headquarters in North Carolina. No one was in the building, thank god. But there was some flammable substance thrown through a window. The vandals also spraypainted a message on the building. Get out of town or else. There have been no arrests and police have not said anything about any suspects affiliations. But in a tweet, donald trump pounced on it saying, animals representing Hillary Clinton and dems in North Carolina just fire bombed our office in Orange County because we are winning. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton condemned the attack calling it horrific and unacceptable. Very grateful to see everyone is safe. Raising thousands to help reopen the gop office. The next debate is just two daze away. Whats changed in this race since that lewd video, the audio of trump talking has come out. Plus, the growing list of accusers.

Hillary clinton widening her lead in the latest national polls. Our new cnn poll of polls, that is the average of the last four polls shows what you see on your screen. Clinton at 47 with trump eight points behind. Clinton has gained two points. Trump has dropped two since the last poll of polls. Lets bring out the state of play here with our panel alex burns, jackie kosinich. Poll of polls is just the average. You know, most of them are around four points. Its stable to growing. Do we believe that this is the cause of the impact of the tape, somewhat cemented arranged between the two candidates . We sure do. I think when you look at each poll that comes out, you can see a varying lead for clinton four points in one and 11 points in another. Thats a stark difference. The trends that weve seen all along that trump is stuck in the high 30s, low 40s and clinton is stuck or happily stuck in the mid40s to high 40s. Not over 50 . Which would be the point at which we really say, stick a fork in, trump has no path to victory. At this point in the race only one major event left that would help trump break out of that zone that hes been stuck in. Thats the final debate on wednesday. Unless there is a surprise. Certainly. There could be unaccepted events. But thats the last arena where a candidate based on his own superb performance could change the base. If clinton fails the drug test. Exactly. If they get her on the roids and shes somewhat suspended. Jackie, lets dive into the polls. About whether or not voters believe that women who have come forward to say that trump made these unwanted advances. 68 say, yes, they do. 14 say, no. 19 say they have no opinion. But it, you know, when weve heard from republicans who have been interviewed about this, voters for trump supporters, they sort of say, im still voting for him. Well, right. And one of the striking things in these polls is that it showed that the tapes really didnt make much of a difference. The allegations of these women coming forward seem to have and people believe them, but on the other hand, its not the tape that seems to change our mind. One of the polls, forgive me, is about 53 said it didnt make any deiferanifference. Much less said it did change their opinion. This makes more sense. You get no and no opinion together. You get 67 . That seems closer to what could be the truth to me because if you go to trump supporters, i havent met one, my sample is only like 15, 20 people. But none of them moved off of him and 88 was reported this morning on the news that 88 are locked in to their choice, jackie. Theyre not going anywhere no matter what happens, i guess. Were at the point in election, lets not forget, this always ends up a fight over a sliver of voters. That seems to be the point where we see them ticking back and forth between the two of them. And, absolutely right. The debate is really the only expected thing that we know in between now and election day. I mean, who knows this race has been so crazy that he could sort of use to get those numbers turned around and get those people who maybe arent so sure what happened with the women and this tape back to his side. Yeah, lets look at the allimportant womens vote because we have that from nbc wall street journal. 35 say they support donald trump. What does that mean on election day . Well, its very, very hard or maybe impossible for a candidate who loses women by that kind of margin to somehow make it up with men. Weve never seen somebody in a president ial election overcome a deficit of that size. And, alisyn, i think when you go through the fundamentals of the poll, what you really see is think back four years to 2012 coming out of that election. The message that republicans felt they took is we need to do better with women. We need to do better with hispanic voters, black voters, young voters. You go down those categories and in almost every single one theyre underperforming romney in 2012. The one exception is young voters and thats really a function of clinton losing support to thirdparty candidates and not to daunld tru trump. We have a couple indicators on that, as well. A dip in honesty, a dip in the excitement was over 90 and now 79 . His honesty number took a hit, as well. Jackie, these personal indicators are probably more relevant for trump because the choice seems so personal for people. Absolutely. Youve seen clintons enthusiasm pick up. And, you know, we talk a lot about the ground game and voter enthusiasm and at the end of the day, on election day, thats whatmatter to get out and vote. People are feeling discouraged as well as the allegations as a result of some of his debate performances, thats going to aifect him. I am going to say it, again, people are already voting right now. Every day matters in this race. Increasingly. So, lets talk about debate prep, alex. Both candidates yesterday spent a chunk of time preparing. Its going to revert back to the format of the first debate. The lester holt debate where theyre standing at the podiums. What do we think theyre doing differently or how are they preparing . If youre Hillary Clinton you dont do anything particularly differently. Her folks did very well the first two debates. If anything youre preparing for the difficult portion of the debate about trumps personal conduct and his conduct towards women. But thats a tough thing. Does she go after him harder on this than she did in the second debate where people felt like she was hands off. There is more information than there was at the second debate. At the time of the second debate we heard the access Hollywood Tape and not the sexual advances from nine women. If youre Hillary Clinton, you know, thats something you have to be comfortable talking about. I do think its probably a safe bet that the moderator brings it up and the burden is on donald trump to explain himself in a convincing way. Alex, jackie, thank you very mu much. Appreciate it.

Led coalition being called a defining moment months in the planning to retake this strategic city of mosul. Cnn Senior International correspondent nick panick paton walsh. Just meters away from the main road and it leads right down to that city where the u. N. Fear 1. 2, 1. 5 Million People could be caught as this assault gets under way. Desperately in need of assistance. A long morning so far. They began at dawn and spreading out amongst the desert and eventually moving down to this road here. When we got here, though, two staggering scenes emerged. But, in fact, a firefight broke out between the kurds and isis pockets that are seen around this town. Another very bizarre moment occurred 30 minutes earlier on the hill behind us here. It appears an isis fighter popped up from somewhere and chased and then as far as we can tell prom this distance, blew himself up and then they continue to search foxholes here. This is potentially a lengthy assault. They hoped moving along the plains would have been easier and that optimism may be misplaced. A lot of Coalition Air power in the sky and a lot of isis suicide bombers. And while the pentagon says there are no troops on the ground here, ive seen this morning a lot of foreign presence within the convoy. Certainly an assistance given as they remove, this is a volatile place in iraq. When they were kicked out of mosul the prize of their caliphate here that is really the end of them in iraq. We are beginning that lengthy, bloody process,
