sutton, this morning reuters reports the fda is expanding its investigation into the safety of astrazeneca's coronavirus vaccine. what do we need to know? >> this comes after various reports that have not been confirmed by astrazeneca of a possible adverse event of transverse myelitis, inflammation of the spinal cord that can cause lasting nerve damage. i think it's important these questions are being raised and precautions are being raised by the fda. for many people to understand, many of the vaccines that are currently being studied have different mechanisms of action. astrazeneca's vaccine is a viral vector vaccine. what i've learned is the fda has asked for more research and data on previous studies of viral vector vaccines to try and see if there's any association between this adverse event and viral vector vaccine. this is important to assure safety, but most importantly, confidence during this turbulent race for a vaccine. >> when it comes to covid-19, researchers are warning the transmission risk is "rapidly increasing" across much of the northern u.s., from the pacific northwest to

reuters shows 67% of registered voters say if he had taken it more seriously he probably wouldn't have gotten himself. 52% of registered voters don't trust him. is this even important at all as you weigh the political ramificati ramifications? >> well, i will say this. i think the one way in which it could play to the president's disadvantage going forward is just having the conversation focused on coronavirus and the response to coronavirus. for example, one area where voters have tended to give him the benefit of the doubt is on the economy. even though the economy went to a very bad place in the covid lockdown. polls suggest he's seen as being stronger on the economy. that's a topic he'd like to be talking about more. in the same way these law and order images might be an area he wants to spend more time. the narrative looks like it's going to be dominated by covid and that area is one where he has historically not done as well. >> he has no choice but to talk about his least favorite subject, in a way, as opposed to his favorite subjects going into the election. ok. but is there po

with us right now, reuters correspondent, jeff mason. there are different portrayls of the pandemic. the president says we're rounding the corner, we've had great success, a vaccine is on the way. joe biden blames him at the administration for dropping the ball, for being incompetent. he blames him for this tragic disaster. which view do you think is prevailing with voters? >> that's a good question. i don't think we'll know the full answer to that until election day but broadly if you look at the polls, vice president biden has held onto a lead in the polls for months. there's been some tightening in important states. and that's why i think the trump campaign is optimistic and the president has been optimistic that he can still pull this out. but he does continue to downplay the extent of the virus and the effect that the virus is having on americans' lives, largely because he is vulnerable about the vi virus and vice president biden has sought to exploit that vulnerability in his political campaign and putting blame on the president fo
