((kirsten joyce)) >> and i'm kirsten joyce. we're now just a day away from finding out.. if hillary clinton will make history as our first female president.

((kirsten joyce)) >> we'll first toss things over to michael...

candidates, michael? ((michael stevens)) >> brian, kirsten... a new c-b-s news poll was just released this morning... and hillary clinton is taking the lead over donald trump nationally. let's break down the numbers... in a four-way match-up that includes libertarian gary johnson and green party candidate jill stein... c-b-s news finds hillary clinton on top by four-points. that number... does stay the same in a two-way race that doesn't name the third party candidates. acd the majority of voters say they're firm in their choice. just 5-percent say they might change their minds. when asked overall who will win... more voters still expect hillary clinton to come out on top. most trump voters expect their candidate to win... but by a smaller margin. right now... trump leads among men... while clinton has a double-digit advantage among women. donald trump is leading among voter who made up their minds in the last two weeks...

earlier. brian, kirsten? ((kirsten joyce)) >> michael... do we know... up until this point how many people have already voted? ((michael stevens)) >> kirsten... the numbers right now... from the state secretary's office show about 7-hundred and 70-thousand people have already voted... that's about 52-percent of the state.

security has also set- up incident response teams... that can deploy wherever there could be an election-related cyber incident. /// ((kirsten joyce)) >> guns and marijuana. those are the two biggest advisory questions on the ballot for this election. ((brian loftus)) >> it's really important to understand both sides. this is what we found. nia wong joins us live in studio to break them down. nia? ((nia wong)) >> when it comes to question 1 right now...unlicensed gun sellers don't have to get a federal background check to transfer gun ownership. this would require licensed dealers to run a federal background check before selling or transferring guns. if question 1 passes...this could lead to jail time or fines between 1000-10,000 dollars. those against the question believe it's a waste of time...money and infringes on second amendment rights. ((lt. ray steiber - metro pd homicide, retired: "what were saying is two strangers coming together for the sale of a gun, you need to have a background check, know who you're dealing with, know who you're selling to.)) ryan hamilton - deputy dir., nra-nevadans for freedom:

they purchase it illegally, they buy it from a straw purchaser." )) ((nia wong)) there are exemptions to the mandatory background checks. that would be for the sale of antique firearms or if the exchange happens between a law enforcemnent agency...in between immediate family members or trustee. temporary transfer for the purpose of self-defense and hunting. ((nia wong)) >> the next big question is if nevada will follow in the footsteps of washington, oregon, among other states that have legalized marijuana. >> question 2 would allow grow, posesss, buy or sell the plant. it would also implement a 15 percent tax on marijuana sales...a portion of it would go to schools and lead to the regulation of recreational marijuana. many for question 2 say it's because marijuana is a safer drug ... however, others say there have been an increase in crashes in states that already legalized it: (( joe brezny - the coalition to regulate marijuana like alcohol: marijuana is safer than alcohol, it's less damaging to your body, it's less addictive and its far less likely to be associated with a

((pat hickey - no on 2: i mean people in both colorado and washington state even oregon, there's been a significant increase in accidents, either from people that have been impaired and they're driving, hurting themselves, and in fact hurting others.)) ((nia wong)) >> even though marijuana dispensaries would be limited in how close they could be to schools and community centers...those against the question say this doesn't do enough to protect kids. ((nia wong)) >> if these two questions pass....they will move forward to becoming law. but not all advisory coming up in the next half hour we'll explore the remaining questions that will go to the general election ballot in 2018 if passed. brian and kirsten.
