That could swing the outcome of the entire election. Election. Just this week, Hillary Clinton regained a lead in ohio pollingafter weeks of Trump Holding the advantage there. Bottom line, a state that has consistently voted with the winning side, right now, is a tossup. Fox 28 News National correspondent tossup. Lisa fletcher travel to ohio to discuss the hot button topic of immigration as we go be on the podium. Argue about how immigration should be handled folks in the city of akron taken action. They are attributing some of the success to how they have handled the influx of immigrants particularly from the paul and time. When this man opened his Grocery Store in 2011 he wanted to grow his business. He had no idea he would also be helping to grow a community. And right now there are so many people looking for houses and apartments. They cannot find any. The vibrancy of this Energy Neighborhood is due to the akron approach to immigration.

Donald trumps plan for immigration is building a wall suspending immigration from countries like syria. Hillary was a pathwa allow additional refugees from syria. Earlier this year there was speculation that to unpopular president ial candidates would leave voters to turn to a third party candidate. Support for alternative candidates is going down as we historically disliked candidates, many voters turned to the green partys jill stein and the libertarian partys gary johnson. But like steins and johnsons support peaked over the summer. Now, its fading away and as much as candidates think they can much as a candidates think they can sway voters it is out of their hands. This theory says americas electoral system provides an incentive for voters to behave strategically at the polls. A proportional systems that the wins. But thats not always the majority of votes. Meaning, its possible for the party least preferred by voters to win. Duvergers law says voters start to sense that voting for a weaker party might actually be helping the candidate they like the least to win. Faced with this choice, they end up choosing the lesser of two evils. The smaller parties are squeezed out over time, leaving just two dominant parties. So, to put it in 2016 terms you have johnson supporters voting for trump because they like johnson but dislike clinton more. And you have stein supporters voting but really dislike trump. Its a selfperpetuating cycle. For a third parties to win in this country, they need to convince voters they have an actual shot at winning. And in our electoral system, thats just not possible.

Excellent weather around eastern iowa today. Temperatures were in the midshipman to upper 70s. This could have been a late august de. October unless you work in northwestern iowa. There you can see the temperatures in sioux city did not get above 58. Since that time it has gone even more. The front is to the west of the morning but behind it the temperatures in northwestern iowa have dropped back into the 40s and wins are starting to pick up. There is a cold rain falling. This front will get through tonight and behind that we can expect to see falling temperatures during the day tomorrow and strong northwest winds and probably a few be in the morning. As we go to the satellite and radar, were seeing clouds coming into eastern iowa. These will be thickening up as we go to the overnight hours. Out to the west is where the showers are found. This will work its way east in the next few hours. By morning if you like showers should develop here in eastern iowa. These clouds will hang around for a good portion of the day tomorrow. The main feature of this front will be the coldest air of the season. We will track it across eastern iowa. You can see the timestamp that at two in the morning it enters our western counties. It settles into chicago later tomorrow afternoon. As it comes through we have that window of light showers. The winds will pick up and temperatures will drop tomorrow afternoon. Tomorrow night this High Pressure will be a key ingredient of the forecast because as it moves to the east it will diminish this brisk happens the colder our temperatures will be tomorrow night. I do think theres a good chance many places will get to the range of 30 to 34 degrees. The freezing line close to cedar rapids and onto the north. If the winds die down sooner that could be further south into a viewing area. That is what will monitor in the next 24 hours. Im expecting everyone to see frost tomorrow night and some areas will see freezing temperatures. You can see during the day tomorrow the temperatures go down and by Late Afternoon 50s depending on where you are in eastern iowa. Tomorrow night our model shows the low going down to 35 degrees but im going to go below that. Im expecting around 30 to cedar rapids. On thursday we are back into sunshine but still under the influence of the High Pressure and that means a cold day as temperatures stay around 55 degrees for a high temperature. A little change expected around the cold air should be around for 48 hours. The next one out to the west will advance across the country just in time for the weekend and it will pull in southerly winds and the cold air will get forced back out. I saturday as the warmer air arises is a chance of a scattered shower but overall the weekend looks nice. The temperatures should be up around 70 to 74 degrees. Just a quick step of cold air. On the predictor, here comes the clouds especially after we start to see if you showers a few showers. Nothing heavy expected and later the showers depart and so do the clouds. That will set the stage for cold temperatures. Heres the overnight lows and they range from 52 in the northwest to the upper 50s in the south and there could be scattered showers towards morning. The upper 50s or low 60s for sure. Of time. The numbers you are looking at are the highest early in the day. By their early evening we will be in the upper 40s to late 50s. By thursday morning we are back down to 32 degrees and beyond that we start our next warm up and as you can see saturday and sunday looked to be nice days. But it looks outstanding at 74. It could bring some showers back on tuesday Holding Close to 70. The next one comes with colder temperatures by the middle of next week. So as you can see we have a few days in the mid70s and lows around 32. We have a range of temperatures. Youll be taking the coat on and off in the next seven days.
