"you're better off now than you were four weeks ago." >>> for the first time in its presidential election polling pew research center now ranks romney ahead of obama on favorability. with romney leading 50-49 it's a huge turnaround from march, when obama was beating romney 55-29. in fact, all the polling winds are at mitt romney's back. and i'll ask are voters finally catching on that obama's campaign message running on empty? whoa. here now we welcome back sam ce

showdown between president obama and governor mitt romney. tomorrow is final debate on foreign policy could michael or break the election now, only 16 days away. at stake momentum with millions of voters expected to tune in. there is a brand-new "wall street journal" poll showing just how tight this race is. take a look. president obama and governor romney tied at 47% among likely voters. john roberts is live at the site in boca raton, florida. what is the race looking like there? >> vast looking very tight. you mentioned the "wall street journal" poll. that is a battle ground states. this is where things could change. we were talking about how important these debates are. it's difficult to overstate because unlike most election cycles these debates have been moving the numbers. the goal for governor romney is to hang on those solid gains he has made since the first debate three weeks ago. he has been heavily involved in debate prep, hunkered down for last couple of days. took some time out to attend church with his wife. then earlier this afternoon presided over a ceremonial coin toss at a
