This Morning from CBS News, Sept. 5, 2016
Beachgoers beware
Hermine threatens several states with rough surf and dangerous flooding as millions celebrate the Labor Day holiday. The former tropical storm is slowly moving out to sea, but it’s creating dangerous rip currents and storm surges, stretching from New Jersey to Massachusetts.
Numbers game
As Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump heading to Cleveland for Labor Day events to kick off the fall campaign, the latest CBS News poll shows Clinton ahead in a couple key states, but Trump trailing by just two points across all battlegrounds. And that isn’t the only bad news for the Democratic contender.
Subpar?
There is no home-course advantage for Donald Trump in this election. Trump has proudly put his name on 18 golf properties around the world, 12 of which are in the United States. But a look at the polls suggests the GOP presidential nominee may not win a single state where he has a golf course.
Good intentions
President Obama’s last day at the G-20 Economic Summit in China -- ostensibly about trade -- was overshadowed by fresh missile tests from North Korea and the U.S. leader’s stymied efforts to keep hopes of a Syrian peace deal alive as he sat down with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin.
Cold case
There was a break this weekend in a cold case that shocked the nation. Jacob Wetterling, 11, disappeared almost 30 years ago on a rural road near his home in Minnesota. His face has been burned in the minds of his parents since he went missing, but until now, they didn’t know what happened to him.
“Come to Syria!”
Bombs have killed dozens of people today in one of Syria’s former coastal paradises -- less than a week after the Syrian Tourism Ministry released a new video trying to lure travelers to the golden Mediterranean sands. The bizarrely-timed tourism promotion is getting mixed reviews from war-weary Syrians.
Pay hike
Eight Labor Days have passed since the end of the Great Recession, and the pace of wage growth in the U.S. has yet to fully rebound to its pre-crisis level. A handful of jobs are seeing robust jumps in annual pay, however. We look at which fields are offering the biggest wage gains.
