Candidates Enter The Final Countdown Before Election Day
Primary Content
Today on "Political Rewind," entering the final days of the presidential election candidates continue to ramp up their travel schedules and pull out all the stops. The past seven days have provided a steady flow of leaks following FBI director James Comey's letter to Congress indicating further interest in Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server. Our panel of political insiders and strategy experts analyze the effects this announcement has had on the campaign and how it has shifted strategies heading to Election Day.
The latest polls show that Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are within the margin of error in the state of Georgia. Could Georgia go Democrat for the first time in over a decade? Our panel discusses the different strategies that campaigns are employing in Georgia and whether or not more focus should have been concentrated in the state.
The Secretary of State reports that early voting in Georgia has reached a record turnout. Is the high turnout an indication that people are tired and just ready to cast a ballot and get the election season over with or are voters truly enthusiastic for their candidate? The panel goes through polling numbers, anticipated turnout, and many other factors that could influence this year's election results.
Finally, we run down the latest headlines in political news both locally and statewide. A Georgia robo-call implicates Hillary Clinton in the death of JFK Jr., the school reform ballot measure does not look good even with support from the Governor, and polling numbers indicate a potential senate runoff in Georgia. What will the political landscape look like after November 8?
