VIDEO CBS News Elections Director Anthony Salvanto has the best gig in the world. He can end up horribly WRONG in his election predictions as happened in 2016 and not only keep his job but, as you can see, CBS News anchors continue to turn to him for his predictions despite his laughable track record. So what's your secret, Anthony? Many workers who are failing at their jobs would like your advice on how to not only keep their jobs but earn the respect of their peers as well.

Economic expertise and crisis management skills are top qualities Democratic voters want to see in a vice-presidential pick for their party - even more so than executive or legislative experience - as concerns about the pandemic and the economy now become a lens through which voters see that selection process.

Hillary Clinton holds narrow leads over Donald Trump across a number of key states of Florida (up three points, 44 to 41 percent); Colorado (Clinton 40 percent, Trump 39 percent); Wisconsin (Clinton up 41 percent to 36 percent) and North Carolina, which has flipped back and forth between the parties in the last two elections, where it's Clinton 44 percent and Trump 42 percent.
