today"/gallup poll shows growing momentum for mitt romney in 12 key battleground states. the ones on your screen include ohio, florida and virginia. the poll has mitt romney pulling ahead of the president by four points among likely voters. perhaps the bigger takeaway is how the candidates rank among likely women voters in the same battle ground states. it shows mitt romney pulling almost even with the president, trailing by one point, well within that margin of error. unlike two weeks ago when the president went sight seeing at the hoover dam the day before his debate in denver, yesterday mr. obama made no public aernest pas, staying behind closed doors at debate camp in williamsburg, virginia. with mitt romney also lowing lay during debate prep in boston, the wives of the candidates reached out to voters on the eve of debate. ann romney in pennsylvania, the first lady of the united states spoke to supporters in ohio. >> i know no debate is ever the same. it will be fun to watch be maybe more fun for you than for me. but one thing i know for sure, mitt's prepared. mitt's confiden

in swing states. >> pennsylvania you are going to help us elect mitt romney. the next president of the united states. >> romney is gaining ground. today vice presidential nominee paul ryan made one of his first stops in the state. campaign sources say they are considering spending money on television ads. later in the battleground state of ohio ryan helped his focus centered on the president's policies. >> this is not just about jobs. it's not just about debtor the economy. -- debt or the economy. it is about the meaning of america. . >> two weeks to go until election day, the biggest game changer could be what happens right here on monday night, the third and final debate. it's widely expected to be yet another monumental clash between the can datz. cbs news, florida. >> you can watch the final presidential debate live on monday right here on cbs 5 starting at 6:00 p.m. the topic will be foreign policy. >>> it looked real but almost 40% are fake. how yel p is going under cover and make it easier for you to spot phoney reviews. >>> deadly form of oral cancer and targeting younge

by reports that states like ohio and pennsylvania could be ripe for a romney ticket. >> they hear all the gloom and doom talk, they hear about how poorly the president did in the first debate. and i think even the president will admit he did poorly in the first debate. but to hear how the sky is falling when that's what you you heard throughout the fall of 2007, that he was terrible at debates, is history going to repeat itself again tonight? ? i thi >> i think you'll see a strong debate performance from the president. he'll be strong, passionate, energetic. >> no r for romney, the goal is repeat performance convincing voters he's likeable and the one for the next four years. >> you walk in front of the jury at closing argument and you don't have a few good facts on your side, you'll have perry mason as your lawyer, you're losing the case. >> two things are certain, obama needs to be a fighter and romney has a fighting chance. >> i don't know how many times people have used this clichÉ, but can romney begin to close a deal tonight? >> this is one of the biggest debates given the dyna

both florida and virginia now going for romney in the sunshine state 51%, 46%. in the commonwealth, it's 50% to 47%. but in ohio, a new fox news poll says obama is leading by 3%. 46%, 43%. that's a four point improvement in the buckeye state for romney since september. with us now to analyze where we are in the presidential race, fox news host mike huckabee. first of all, let's take the dinner. >> okay. >> bill: you have a pretty good sense of humor. >> i try. >> bill: on your program playing the banjo or ukelele. >> base guitar. i hope you know the difference between a banjo and bass guitar. >> bill: it's funny when you are up there you don't take yourself all that seriously. i like that. that makes me feel good that even these guys as competitive as they are can get in there and have a few laughs, right? >> absolutely. i think everybody needs to see there is a human side that these are not just robots who run for office. i think we need more moments like that and less like some of these what i consider to be phony debates that are more like game shows than an honest forum where you a

can see the red on the key, romney, blue is obama. the yellow states are toss up states within the margin of error. this is the first time based on polls from within the last two weeks. we've been doing it over the last month, but since we are within this time frame, and there are so many polls, carl, this is within the last two weeks. what has changed? >> well, who says debates don't matter? there were 60 polls in the last week and 27 states. if you look at the 30 day map, there were three status changes, all of them benefitting romney. montana went from lean romney to strong romney. new hampshire and nevada moved from lean obama to toss up, but if you get rid of the polls that were conducted in the alert part of september and only look at the last two weeks, it accelerates the change. there are four more status changes, all of them benefitting romney for a total of seven status changes. the critical battleground state of ohio along with wisconsin go from lean obama to toss up, and connecticut goes from obama to lean obama and significantly, north carolina goes from toss up to

the board skewing to obama. swing states, women and obama are dead even. if i'm romney tonight, that's who i talk to. swing state specifically. >> brian: the pro-life. you know obama wants the women back so he will try to get romney in an attack on pro-life. >> dana: big mistake. >> brian: are you going to put two supreme court justices to overturn roe v. wade? >> andrea: i think if he keeps them on the road with the social issues they'll lose. people say president obama will be more aggressive. women don't want more aggressive. he has to do what bill clinton did, feel your pain. bill clinton was a classic expert retail politician. obama and romney are not classic politicians so how can president obama be the man to feel the pain when he is the one to blame? very hard to go negative. >> brian: i will be nice to you, you asked the question. i'm mean to you because you're the opponent. >> bob: one thing we forget from the poll, romney is not getting as many men as republicans do. he needs more men. >> eric: doesn't matter. doesn't matter. you know it doesn't now in states decided now. what mat

"usa today" gallup poll shows growing momentum for mitt romney in the key battleground states, including ohio, florida, and virginia. the poll has romney pulling ahead by four points among likely voters. 50% to 46%. this is obviously a big shift. it's only one poll. but perhaps the bigger take away from this poll and some others is how the candidates are ranking among likely woman voters in those battleground states. we've heard an awful lot about the gender gap since the primary season, but among likely female voters in swing states, mitt romney's pulling almost even with the president. 48% to 49%, among male voters in the swing states, romney has an eight-point lead over the president. mark, let's start with you. you're reporting right now that senior democratic officials are starting to talk to you about real concern about the possibility of a buckeye state slipping away from the obama campaign. of course, you talk to democrats, mark, and they'll tell you they're always overly concerned. the polls still show barack obama well ahead. but they're starting to see florida defin

is closer to even. >> you had a poll this week of 12 battleground states showing romney leading by four points in the 12 battleground states. 50-46. the gender gap among women was gone, obama leading by 49% to 48. most polls show obama leadingly more in the battleground states with a bigger lead among women. >> that was a couple weeks ago when that field work was done so that's ancient history. things change week-to-week. nationally now, in the large sample poll, obama has a 7-point lead among women, down from '08 but nevertheless he's maintaining his strength among women proportionately. his bigger problem, obama's, is he's lost more among men. >> the obama camp not surprisingly is pushing back hard saying your polls are, quote, way out of line and have deep flaws. how do you respond to the obama campaign? >> well that's not unusual, going back to dr. gallup who founded our company in 1936, he found heated commentary from either side on polls and we found it in the six election cycles. people come at you if they don't like the results. we don't have deep flaws, we're transparent with a

. romney, paul, ryan, even ann romney campaigned in the sunshine state. the vice president will stump in florida as well. president obama holds a rally in fairfax, virginia, before leaving for camp david where he's doing his foreign policy debate prep this weekend. florida is to romney what ohio is to the president. it's a state that the campaign believes they are going to win, but also view as a must-win. it's not an accident that for the first time romney is doing his debate prep in a swing state rather than at home. they'll prepare in del ray beach near west palm. on monday night the candidates will clash once again on the administration's handling of the september 11th attack in benghazi. and this morning the associated press has been reporting that will drive that debate. the cia station chief in libya reported to washington, the cia in washington -- probably more accurately mcclain, that within 24 hours of the attack there was evidence it was carried out by militants not as a result of a spontaneous mob as susan wright asserted five days later. what is unclear is who saw this ca

president romney do? >> he's stated he's a pro-life, but as you pointed out, that poll did not say which side women are on. oftentimes when there are polls it shows that it kind of cancels out somewhat the people who are single-issue voters. we know obviously people feel strongly on both sides of that issue. a lot of that -- the supreme court decides a lot of these decisions, and what we're dealing with and what congress deals with and what stalts deal with are some of the economic issues on funding. those are things where we want to have funds, limited funds go to things like science and math education, things that we support. getting jobs for women. having jobs for our kids when they come out of college, which they don't have now. those are the issues that women are concerned about. >> they are concerned about those, but they're concerned about this. i'm trying to get a hard answer, because i know whether you're pro-choice or pro-life, you care about this answer. you talked about the supreme court. there's going to be vacancies on the supreme court in the next administration. if it's a

in several national polls. polls also show romney's support growing in swing state. >> pennsylvania you're going to help us elect mitt romney the next president of the united states, aren't you? >> reporter: pennsylvania was leaning to the president, but romney is gaining ground. today, vice presidential nominee paul ryan made one of his first stops in the state, a campaign source saying they're considering spending money on television ads. later in the battleground state of ohio, ryan kept his remarks focused on big themes. his attacks centered on the president's policies. >> this is not just about jobs. it's not just about debt or the economy. it is about the meaning of america. >> reporter: but now with just less than three weeks to go, the biggest game changer of them all could be what happens right here behind me on this stage monday night, the third and final debate on foreign policy. and it's widely expected to be another monumental clash between the candidates. rebecca. >> jarvis: jan crawford, thank you. with foreign policy the debate's focus, the september 11 terrorist attack

the nuclear weapons ambitionch. romney's position is that the united states should not give iran one-on-one talk and give credence an validate iranian quest for nuclear weapons. in addition, the administration hasn't commented on this yesterday. but it sounds like it could be a big issue that would come up in the debate. iran, the iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad spoke to the u.n. recently. otherwise generally ostracizeed when he visits the united states. face to face talks would be a major development. the romney campaign yet to respond to this. it's the news a that comes days before the foreign policy debate. final date of the campaign, has potential to be october surprise. for years. iran is asking for face to face talks and the obama managers may have agreed to do that with two weeks before the election. >> rick: wow! that would be a big development. we'll continue to watch that, as the news comes in. on talks between iraq. carl cameron live from florida. the final presidential debate is two days away. monday night. fox news will bring you the action live from lynn universit

governor mitt romney surging in two key states, in florida, romney-ryan ticket going from a five point deficit to a 3 point advantage now. in ohio, president obama's 7 point lead cut to three points in the latest poll. no candidate hats ever won without carrying the state of ohio. >> they discovered the body of whitney hikle. she disappeared on tuesday. police arrested jonathan holt, 24-year-old charged with aggravated murder. police have yet to announce any possible motive in this case. we'll be back at the top of the hour. back to fox news watch. for all the latest news log on to foxnews.com. >> i'm responsible for the state department for the more than 60,000 people around the world. the decisions about security assets is made with security professionals. we're going to review everything to make sure we're doing what needs to be done >> jon: she was taking responsibility for any security failures leading up tot attack in benghazi that killed four americans. rick, you worked for the state department. what about the timing of all this as it did right before the second debate. >> here

that romney come with alternatives, not just complaints. at the state department, wendell goler, fox news. >> gregg: followup now to the deadly garage collapse in florida last week. the family of one victim, filed the first lawsuit against several construction companies. victim working as a welder. attorney's say never had a chance because the five-story garage was weaken bade crane that hit it two days before the collapse. >> this is a shameful incident. we think that because buildings don't just collapse. >> four people killed in the collapse at miami dade college. that is what lawyers they situations like that. absent negligence this wouldn't happen. people would be alive. >> heather: another situation where people would be alive. a lot of information is coming out on that. capital hill digging deeper in the attack. demanding answer about what the white house knew and when. judge jeanine pirro speaking to key committee members tonight and she speaks to us, first. >> it can happen in an instant. your dad doesn't feel right but he is not sure he should call 911. with new five-star you ar

to come through the area so lots of leather and harley and in a state that mitt romney needs to win. it gives us an opportunity to talk about the i-4 corridor where romney has been working so hard for the republican votes. to the extent either campaign has been reduced, it is because both the president and mitt romney have dedicated their time to debate preparation. they are calculating they can do a number of rallies but being ready if the debate and knocking it out of the park when the audiences are in the 50 million or 60 million rain is a better investment of time than hanging out with bikers. >>shepard: now it is back to serious campaigning? >>carl: he will work the weekend planning for the, or prepping for the debate on monday night and then the race becomes one of grass roots organizing, the get out of vote effort. this summer obama campaign spent $70 million a month and $23 was to media advertising. about $30 million a month was setting up offices. they have 120 offices in ohio. dozens of offices in florida. the romney campaign is taking a different approach. they did not do

in three swing states. that's colorado, nevada, and florida. however, mitt romney trails the president among latinos at the moment in a recent pew poll. when you look at phrases like self-deportation, the issue of the use of illegals, which is seen by tb latino community as being very insensitive, how does this resonate, then? how does this show that the romney campaign does, indeed, value this constituency? >> well, i'm a latina, from florida, originally, now in virginia. but i have to tell you something, immigration's an important issue and governor romney has made it very clear that he has a long-term plan for immigration policy in this country. where he's going to be working with both parties. but, you know, for the hispanics, it's about the economy. and you look at a recent poll from fiu, basically saying that nearly half of the latinos believe that obama ended up breaking that promise. secondly, more than half of the latinas also believe that obama is basically not -- you know, they're not better off than they were four years ago. so, again, i think romney has made huge strides w

states. >> then, remember this? >> tonight mitt romney will decide whether or not he's going to go back on "the view." plus billboards go up in minority neighborhoods in swing states. take a look at this. >> i was outraged when i saw it last night. everybody in that community is outraged. to keep people in this community, particularly black people from vote. >> from gone shots to job threats. the intimidation continues. "the young turks" are fighting back. plus the elbow of the day. cenk and his wife welcomed a new baby girl name joy. ladies and gentlemen, it's joy time. >> tonight on "the young turks." >> barack obama just got knocked out. >> the great debate part ii. which obama will show up. >> no, um, and. >> fiery obama. >> the senator and the candidate he was in 2008. >> it is going great. >> aren't town halls the format that the president likes. >> we can't borrowing from the chinese and sending it to saudi rain isaudi arabia. >> he is out of practice. >> does romney connect with people. >> i'm sorry, it's my turn. you had yours. now it's my turn. >> it's the night before the gre

swing states has governor romney up 49% to 47%. president obama losing his six-point octoberr4th lead in the process. the favobility rating showing a candidate governor romney who is now likable to a majority of american voters. the w research center showing governor romney's farable ting at 50% to the present's 49. a stunning turn around fr march when the president's ratias nearly twice that of governor romney's. brand new fox pon the important battleground state o florida has romney outpacing the president 55% to 51% in e favooables. the gallup favorability poll has th republan nominee on top as well. mr. romney beating the president 52-51%. incredibly, e left-leaning public policy institute giving governor romney the biggest lead in likability. the gogovernor up three percente points on the president ithat, in that polwhich is co-sponsored by the service employees international union. talk about objectivity. and the real ear politics electoral college projection now has governor romney ahead the president for the first time in this election. with north carolina now moving in to t

resources out of that state. real clear politics has this as a one-point race. is the romney camp that confident he's got the state locked up? what's going on in north carolina? >> i think that, you know, you need to look beyond the rhetoric into where they are putting resources. if they are pulling people out, they are confident that they have this state as one romney adviser put it with me yesterday, baked. they are moving their people out of the ground but the air war continues because super pacs still have ads on the air there. i doubt that you're going to see the candidate there between now and the election. >> the super pac supporting governor romney restore our future just made the biggest and most expensive ad bye yet. $12 million in nine states. the biggest chunks of that money going to ohio, wisconsin, iowa, and florida. not any big surprise there. the fact that they are spending this kind of money, is it a sign that they've had some success raising money off of romney's rise in the polls, off his first debate? or what do you think is going on with this big ad buy so lat

shows the state remains up for grabs. mitt romney's 49% to 48% lead over president obama is within the poll's plus or minus four-point sampling error. cnn's chief national correspondent john king is standing by. florida, florida, it's still florida, florida, florida. >> a dead heat. but that is momentum for mitt romney. if you look back two months ago when we polled among likely voters the president had a four-point lead, right at the margin of error. governor romney now with the lead. the campaign increasingly confident about the state of florida and obama campaign concedes it's going his way. they've been spending as much as governor romney on television $5 million just last week to keep it close. why is it like this? a big generational gap in florida. voters under the age of 50 a huge advantage for president obama. but on those medicare attacks are not working so well 36%, to 56% among romney. that's a plus for the romney campaign in florida. talked about a generational gap. there's also an income gap. look at this. the president with a big advantage of those making under $50,00

states susan lily is voting for romney. she believes his economic plan will mean more opportunity for women. >> i think bringing economic freedom to as many people as possible is the best way to do that. >> reporter: a mother of two and cancer survivor she's happy with her health insurance and concerned about losing it under the affordable care act. >> i think people do not understand what will happen once health care is so centralized and focused in washington, d.c. because that is going to take away choice. >> reporter: both women see candidates try to change their minds over the next 19 days. susan mcginnis, cbs news, norfolk, virginia. >>> and coming up after your local news on cbs "this morning," a universal flu vaccine that would do away with annual shots. i'm vinita nair and this is the "cbs morning news". i'm vinita nair and this is the "cbs morning news".

of military retirees and civilian defense workers also keep the state competitive for republicans. mitt romney is clearly counting on the latter group to help him carry he state. he has been hammering the president over defense cuts he says will increase virginia's current 5.9% unemployment rate. 16 days from the election, the race is tight. an arg poll of likely voters found romney with a one-point edge over the president. showdown virginia is next with the state's democratic senator and former governor mark warner and tom davis. es aren't always made for people with diabetes. that's why there's glucerna hunger smart shakes. they have carb steady, with carbs that digest slowly to help minimize blood sugar spikes. and they have six grams of sugars. with fifteen grams of protein to help manage hunger... look who's getting smart about her weight.

in the electoral college and governor romney still needs to overcome that. all nine states the president won four years ago. if governor romney is able to win virginia, florida and north carolina, virginia the toughest of the three, then he's in a stronger position, but then it hinges on ohio. i think the president -- governor romney basically has to win those four states. if he does, if he wins the three southern battle xwroundss, virginia, north carolina and florida and finds a way to win ohio he is in a commanding position. he needs to win one of the remaining five states in yellow and probably would win at least one of those five. if he's unable to win those four, all of the four, i think his chances of winning are die mini muss. >> that is almost like drawing a royal flush. >> yeah. >> drawing a straight. >> i would -- i would one up mark halperin and say it's not two states it's really one state though mark is right in his broad analysis. if mitt romney can't win ohio, his paths to 270 electoral votes while not impossible become close to implausible. that it does wind up having him -- havin

is not fixed then it is time we change presidents and elect mitt romney the next president of the united states. tonight the forecast is that the president will win 287 electoral college votes. ari, the national polls are different on who has what lead by how much. but it is the battleground states. that lead is impressive. and there is a sizable lead in ohio and i'm aware of what you nailed in your rewrite the other night. >> tell me. >> what should these undecided voters have so much power? >> there is a funny thing happening. it is moving to a mobilization model. and what we are seeing now is, and we are seeing mobilization mez sages to the base. they are saying you have to get people excited. we are seeing a bullish attitude. and they don't need to focus as much on persuading. they are kicking into a gotv mode now. >> let's take a look at something put out today. new video with sara silverman which is about getting out the vote. >> in college mitt romney was so poor at harvard he had to sell stocks to get by. did you have to sell stocks to get by in college liz? >> no, i sold plasma in coll

from president obama and pushing mitt romney's momentum in the swing states just before the second debate tomorrow, believe it or not among women, it's now tied at 48. that's a big upset for obama, according to gallup. tonight, our own kudlow debate, democratic congresswoman carolina maloney versus jason th chavitz. the dow up 9595! retail sales increased in every category and the bad news, still conducting a capital goods strike worried about inflation, an the fiscal cliff. >>> more than 1900 investigations into obama alleged stimulus wrongdoing. we will expose how many millions of your tax dollars have been wasted and get to the exclusive interview of the legendary charles schwab. first up, preparations are under way as president obama and mitt romney face off in their second debate tomorrow evening. here now for a sneak peek inside president obama's playbook, robert acosta of the national review. what are team romney telling you and insiders telling you about this town hall meeting? >> mitt romney may have excelled in that first presidential debate in denver, larry. tomorrow, it

to determine the electoral outcome. romney is showing an uptick in these states, but the overall electoral map still favor the president. >> we show that mitt romney leads mean by seven points and that president obama leads among women. it's got to be getting some comfort, i think probably to the obama campaign. i think what we're probably seeing is a continueded focusing on women because that's what traditionally republican candidates try to chip away at. on the other side, we have seen president obama working very hard to shore up the voechlt so i would expect that to continue through the very short time we have left. >> the u.s. and iran have agreed to hold one-on-one negotiations on the nuclear program. what do you make of this, especially being so close to the foreign policy debate. >> these are very good reporters who worked on that story, i trust that they knew what they were writing when they wrote it. the white house has not left very much wiggle room at all in that denial. i suspect that the white house does not want to be seen doing anything that would be the least bit conciliatory.

.i.a. in massachusetts, a look, rather, at mitt romney's record as governor and his 400 plus days away from the bay state. plus this is why esz' called fearless felix. felix baumgartner taking that jump from a capsule 24 miles above earth as millions nun to watch. we'll have more on that. >>> we want to know. one more day to go and potus is off the trail prepping. what should obama do to change the debate. tweet me @richardlui. we'll share some of your tweets later on. there's a better way... v8 v-fusion. vegetable nutrition they need, fruit taste they love. could've had a v8. or...try kids boxes! yeah, i might have ears like a rabbit... but i want to eat meat!

in iowa, troubling in a state mitt romney very much needs to win. and in paul ryan's home state of wisconsin, another state romney hopes to keep in his basket, six points for the president there. same poll. six points for the president. how does this all play out? encouraging news for governor romney in florida. let's say hypothetically that one is trending his way and democrats don't dispute that. if we give that hypothetically to governor romney, north carolina as well, most democrats think is starting to trend out of their reach, just those two states, that would get romney to parity, 237 to 235. takes 270 to win. however, if those numbers in iowa and wisconsin hold, and the president keeps those in the blue column like they were in 2008, the president would take the lead at 253-235. what does that mean? battleground ohio right in the middle would be the biggest remaining battleground and if the president won those 18 electoral votes, it would put him over the top. so that is where essentially after that first debate, after that third debate, excuse me, heading into the final

numbers are moving. we'll look at mitt romney's momentum in these must-win crucial swing states. tonight you've heard obama girl. you meet paul ryan girl tonight straight ahead. what's next? he's going to apply testosterone to his underarm. axiron, the only underarm treatment for low t, can restore testosterone levels back to normal in most men. axiron is not for use in women or anyone younger than 18. axiron can transfer to others through direct contact. women, especially those who are or who may become pregnant, and children should avoid contact where axiron is applied as unexpected signs of puberty in children or changes in body hair or increased acne in women may occur. report these signs and symptoms to your doctor if they occur. tell your doctor about all medical conditions and medications. do not use if you have prostate or breast cancer. serious side effects could include increased risk of prostate cancer; worsening prostate symptoms; decreased sperm count; ankle, feet, or body swelling; enlarged or painful breasts; problems breathing while sleeping; and blood clots in the legs.

romney. there's also a new politico/george washington university poll out of ten battleground states including ohio, florida and virginia which shows mitt romney ahead in the swing states 50%-48%. that's a statistical tie. there's also a new public policy poll of likely voters in the state that may matter the most this year, ohio, that actually has the president up by 5 percentage points. a lot to digest here. let's start, though, with john heilemann. john, it certainly looks like it's still a jump ball as we go through the second debate. mitt romney and barack obama really neck and neck whether you're looking at the national polls or the battleground state polls. >> yeah, that's right. there's no question about it, joe. and you can see that the -- as we've gotten a little bit further away from that first debate where president obama performed so poorly, you can see that the lingering effects of it have been a little less than we might have thought before. there's no question mitt romney helped himself a little bit in terms of his likability, in terms of conservative and republican e

is the fact that the romney campaign is quietly shifting some of its resources, including its state communications director, out of the state. instead, romney land is beefing up its operation in ohio. the national review reports that with romney aides feeling good about their chances in north carolina, florida and virginia, quote -- want to know which states matter? forget the data, just look at the travel schedule. the campaigns are putting their best people in the places that matter most. >> i love ohio. it's an old school place. when you were down you were out and your whole economy was threatened, the president had your back. you got to have his back now. >> the romney/ryan ticket is in florida holding a joint evening rally in daytona. this morning florida's second largest newspaper which endorsed barack obama four years ago announced it was switching its support to mitt romney. ben, laws talk about the realities on the ground, the campaign trail. romney shifting its campaign staff in north carolina. a lot of back and forth between the two campaigns about what that means. but be

. if you win wisconsin all you need from romney is one of three states, new hampshire, iowa, or nevada. when wisconsin plus one of those, you're also over 270. those are the path i'm looking at. >> wisconsin is historically democratic. >> in 2000 and 2004 the margin was less than one point. the swing was one of the biggest in the country, which means there are more votes up for grabs potentially to come back to the republican fold for mitt romney. that state swung hard in 2010 to the republicans. they hope if that move prevails, he can win the state. >> there's a chance sdit all steve's math we could have a tie, both candidates at 269. why did the framers allow for that possibility? we could end up with one winning the popular vote and the other winning the electoral college. we know howe well that can work out. ed rendell ran the dnc during the re-election recount. how are you? >> good afternoon, guys. >> i'm concerned, governor, that the state of the race and the volatility of the polls and the way things look now that whoever wins, this thing could be so close you could have people

battleground states, romney leads 50 to 48%. colorado, florida, ohio rk virginia, wisconsin. is the romney comeback just part of a longer narrative, matt. is it something that helps going into this debate? does where we are really play into what voters think. >> i think he's had the best two weeks of his cam pain by far. he's had those two weeks and he's gotten to where it's finally almost a tie. he needs to keep the momentum going otherwise there will be a lot of narratives. the wave has crested and it's turning towards obama. >> we all know ohio, ohio, ohio. it's a critical state where mitt romney is spending a lot of time. here's what his debate prep partner said who knows a little bit ohio about that state. >> he can probably win the presidency without ohio but i wouldn't want to take the risk. no rech can has. we're doing great in ohio. if you look at the average of all the polls, it's dead even in ohio. the momentum is on be our side. >> a new poll has the president up by five although romney has been gaining. what's at stake for him in this debate, perry? >> i disagree. you've seen

that the united states should be able to sit down directly with iran right now? >> governor romney had said that arms should be the last. i will not comment on that story. the white house has denied it. i will say this, i think so much of our relationship with iran was under this president was defined early in his administration when folks took to the streets in that green revolution. president took his hands off and said that he wasn't going to get engaged or involved. unfortunately, that set a tone where now iran thinks they can go harder and much faster than they could go. >> senator rubio, thank you a lot for your time. i apologize again for those technical difficulties. >> thank you. >>> and we'll be back with our powerhouse roundtable in just 90 seconds. it's something you're born with. and inspires the things you choose to do. you do what you do... because it matters. at hp we don't just believe in the power of technology. we believe in the power of people when technology works for you. to dream. to create. to work. if you're going to do something. make it matter. that if you pick th

campaigning in the silver swing state nevada. emphasizing romney's debate missteps, particularly as they relate to women. >> a direct question in the debate about equal pay for women. he started out by talking about binders. the idea he'd have to go ask somebody to put together a binder is unusual. and by the way, he never did answer the question on equal pay. >> now, as for governor romney, he's off the trail today preparing instead to unleash his superlative sense of humor at tonight's alfred e. smith dinner. so it was left to mrs. romney to defend her man's trouble with women with those sharp tongued ladies of "the view." >> do you think that access to contraception and abortion is an economic issue as i was saying in the hot topics? >> you know, again, i would love it if you'd get my husband on the couch and -- >> i would love it. >> you can go down with that all you want. >> no, unfortunately, she can't go down with that, ann. that's because mr. romney canceled on the ladies of "the view." they're high risk, you know, only one of them is a conservative. let's get to our pane

from the president stating that they should vote for mitt romney. the letter stated that they may suffer the consequences. some of the mills have been distributed to other companies as well. if any new taxes are levied on me or my company as our current president plans i will have no chores but to reduce the size of this company. >> president obama is responsible entirely for the closure of3gos election decision is. it is legal for a boss to tell an employee how they should vote. the courts will do this as just a political speech or political opinion. >> this goes back to when the founding fathers were writing the constitution and this is still freedom of speech. >> 90,000 square feet and the subject of the documentary. to save that he will be forced to lay off employees if he has to pay more in taxes is a hard thing for him to sail. >> telling his employees middle-class americans how to vote is coming back to times in the dark ages were one lord told everyone else what to do and how to behave. we reached out to the company but n lot3 and se ae at walnut creek the headlights are n

of mr. obama or mr. romney on foreign policy because i think it's important that you know what you're talking about. as a united states senator you need to know when to deep your mouth shut and right now that's the time. everythingrivy to they know. that's an area where i would look forward to having briefings and having the opportunity to learn more about. >> thank you very much, thanks to you for -- thanks to you the candidates for joining us and my colleagues for being here as well for this texas debate. we'll make this program available on texasdebates.org. election day is tuesday, november 6. good night. \[captioning performed by national captioning institute] \[captions copyright national cable satellite corp. 2012] >> the enemy understands this will be a major defeat in their ideology of hatred. that is why they're fighting. that is why they're fighting.

state, that is florida where the 29 electoral votes are a must-win for romney, which is no doubt mobt both campaigns. david, it's pretty interesting that the last debate is in florida, it's a state that both have won but mitt romney really needs it. why is it so important to win that state to get to the 270 electoral votes? >> the guaranteed states that obama get west side big electoral counts, versus the guaranteed states of mitt romney, are larger, the president has new york in his column, he's got in his column guaranteed. mitt romney has texas, mitt romney has georgia and not much else in terms of big electoral votes which is why florida is so important for the republican candidate, always at least going back to 2000 when we first started to see it as a red state-blue state kind of divide. >> let's take a look at another state, and that's nevada, obama is leading, is this the latino vote factor that we have heard so much about? >> the president's going to win latinos outside of florida by a pretty healthy margin, the question is by how much, the other question we're going to need

. great to have you here. >> thanks. >>> the romney campaign is suing the state of wisconsin pushing to extend the dead line for military and overseas voters to return their ballots. the romney camp says the state mailed 44 ballots later than federal law requires. the state says it was just four ballots. but it is a sign of just how critically close the vote has become. the romney campaign is asking for an extra five days for americans to return their ballots. a taste of what's hot? check out the latest collection of snacks from lean cuisine. creamy spinach artichoke dip, crispy garlic chicken spring rolls. they're this season's must-have accessory. lean cuisine. be culinary chic. a body at rest tends to stay at rest... while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. staying active can actually ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, staying active can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain so your body can stay in motion. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammation. plus, in c

has moved to mitt romney. there's a poll of swing states today showing a five-point lead for mitt romney. more worryingly, when you study the detail of it in gallup and "usa today" , you see there are two areas where he's really improved. one, in his likability that was a major issue for romney before, clearly since the debate people just found him more likeable. they can relate to him more. secondly, with women. the gap has closed completely now in a series of polls where barack obama was way ahead with women. so women for whatever reason are being put off by the president's campaigning right now. why is this? >> well, let me say this. mitt romney is very fond of saying that hope is not a strategy. but dishonesty is. that was his strategy during the debate and it's not going to prevail. you talked a lot about the swing states. the fact of the matter is, if the electoral college were to play out right now, the president would win about 256 electoral votes and mitt romney would be at about 207 or 208 and he would have to sweep the day. what you didn't mention is that he's behind fo

20 some odd states moved in governor romney's correction. i suspect tomorrow a number of other states will continue. florida, thursday, friday, saturday there were five polls, governor romney led in four out of five. ohio, governor romney is there a couple of points behind, one or two points behind in the recent polling. this was a state that president obama's campaign was saying not long ago was comfortablely in double digits and a big lead for president obama and even they admitted it's a horse race. they dramatically increased their television in ohio in the last week in order to muscle up in a state that not long ago they said was settled and over and done. >> specifically our fox news polling on friday did give the advantage to governor romney in florida. three-point advantage remaining for the president in ohio. we see the number close up. it's tighter than it's been. what has to happen? you mentioned ads are up, spending is up for romney in ohio. what do they do to peak at the right moment? is it possible, with the data we have, to win ohio? >> sure, sure it is. ohio's up for g

of error. and among all of the collective battleground states a little bit of a lead for mitt romney. speaking of the battleground, i want to go there a minute. if you look at where both campaigns think each is ahead, the south, you've got to give it to romney here. they think narrowly ahead. for the president, they think nevada looks good for him and new hampshire. so then you look where is this race getting decided? those four states. colorado, david, might be the closest in the country, but it's the midwest. that is the ticket to 270 elect oral votes. >>> we'll be talking about these numbers as we get more. chuck, thank you for much. >>> joining me now, republican senator of florida marco rubio. senator, welcome back to "meet the press." >> glad to be back. thank you. >> let's talk where chuck left off about florida. looking at the president's schedule, he looks to be focusing a bit more on ohio. in your judgment, you've seen the numbers. is florida romney red at this point? >> we like the way florida is going. we always predicted it would go this way. two things have happened ove

this morning. for governor romney, senator marco rubio from the all-important state of florida. for the president, david axelrod. and later, ohio republican senator rob portman. romney's debate sparring partner. joining us live from the debate site. >>> plus, our roundtable weighs in. from "the new york times," columnist tom friedman. and white house correspondent helene cooper. and former white house press secretary for president clinton dee dee myers. >>> from nbc news in washington, it's "meet the press" with david gregory. >>> the latest nbc news/"wall street journal" poll for where this race stands, chuck todd has the numbers. this is significant. >> this is among likely voters, david. 47%, 47%. not all tied races are equal. the president sitting at 47% if this were the sunday before election day there would be a lot of concerns in chicago. they want to be at 48% or 49%. sitting at 47% is good for a challenger, not a good number for an incumbent. let's go inside the numbers a little bit. the gender gap. you brought it up. among men, romney, a 10-point lead. let's go to wom

, but in the three key swing states of florida, where romney may have a slight edge, ohio where the president may be inching ahead, and virginia where it's almost a tie. a dead even battleground map puts a premium on traditionally democratic states like wisconsin. home turf of romney's running mate paul ryan. >> we haven't dedicated our electoral votes since 1984 to the republican nominee. it is time we change that. >> earlier this afternoon, the romney campaign put out new fund raising numbers for the month of september. the campaign disclosed that it raised $170 million in the month of september. that's $10 million short of what the president hauled in, but still an impressive, keeping in mind that was before the gop nominee had the breakout performance in denver and this information on fund raising from the romney campaign comes just as top fund raising officials with the campaign are hosting a three-day gala in new york city. one of the big events of that gala is tonight on the uss intrepid featuring paul ryan, rudy giuliani, and donald trump. wolf? >> three weeks to go, but they're still rai

are a state that hasn't seen very much advertising, and you don't realize the argument against romney you are forming your opinion about him. but if you know what he has done, then you are very aware of the choice here. there is a big difference between the states just getting introduced to mitt romney and the states that have heard about him for over a year. >> jennifer: so are these polls today taking that second debate into account? did the president stop the bleeding? did he do enough to tip the polls back in his favor? are we fully seeing it? >> no, we're not fully seeing it, and i think the polls that come out early next week will be the ones that fully see it. also the results of the second debate will be expanded in these states because there is advertising reinforcing it. remember this is the guy who said i like laying off people, and i support jobs going overseas and profited myself from chinese jobs and american jobs going to china. so it's a very very different context. the second debate will be expanded in the battleground states because it is being reinf

by without a stop by ryan or romney in the buckeye state. he visited a soup kitchen in youngstown where he held a town hall. romney held rallies in lebanon, ohio. >> i need you to get other people that voted for barack obama to join our team. we need ohio. if we get ohio, we'll be able to take back america. >> but can romney win this election without ohio? this was ohio senator's rob portman's take on sunday. >> look, you can probably win the presidency without ohio but i wouldn't want to take the risk. no republican has. >> well, let's look at the map. we might as well. rob portman asked us to do it so let's do it. let's give the president ohio. that puts him up to 255. the two other states where he's ahead, that means he would win florida, all of the southern states. he's at 248. give him the west, colorado, nevada, he is still short and needs to find seven others. right now the president is ahead in wisconsin and i haven't seen evidence otherwise. the president appears to be ahead in new hampshire. so look what that leaves us. 269. well, i'll be darn, look how close that is. he can get
