TONIGHT ON THE CBS EVENING NEWS

Here's an early look at what we are working on for tonight's broadcast of THE CBS EVENING NEWS from Anchor and Managing Editor Katie Couric:

Hi everyone,

A new CBS News/New York Times poll out tonight shows a sizable shift in voters' expectations of who will win the Democratic nomination. It also points to changing perceptions about which Democrat would be most electable in November. Dean Reynolds unveils the poll results - and will explain how the numbers might affect the crucial next round of primaries.

And what about blue-collar voters who have drawn so much attention from pollsters? Cynthia Bowers heads to Indiana to get a sense of what really matters to them.

The Federal Reserve cut a key interest rate today. But will the move be enough to stimulate the economy? Anthony Mason has the story.

Our next story from John Blackstone may come as no surprise … as the cost of filling up keeps going up. Skyrocketing gas prices seem to be fueling a new wave of crime - and gasoline thieves are becoming increasingly brazen. We'll show you some shocking surveillance footage from around the country.

Also, we meet a soldier who spent 15 months fighting in Afghanistan in the some of the most challenging conditions you can imagine. Once he got home to Fort Bragg, he certainly didn't expect he'd still have trouble finding a working bathroom! David Martin explains what happened next.

If you're in debt, do you know what to do when the bill collector comes knocking? Michelle Miller has an inside look at the increasingly lucrative industry of debt collecting. It's the latest installment of our series, Life & Debt in America.

Finally tonight: You may have seen The Early Show's inspiring reports on how the town of Greensburg, Kansas, is working so hard to rebuild after it was flattened by tornadoes last year. It's a town on a journey… From Tragedy to Triumph. Harry Smith reports.

I hope you'll join us for all this and more! Katie
