'm eliot spitzer, and this is view point. it was a slug fest. president obama and governor mitt romney fought it out toe-to-toe in last night second presidential debate. the president was control and in command, and perhaps not a day too soon. the gallup poll shows mitt romney with a six-point lead over the president, the biggest in the campaign. those numbers don't reflect what happened in last night's debate. these do. 48% of registered voters say the president won the content compared to 33% for mitt romney. after the candidates came out and shook hands, the gloves came off and the fight began starting with jobs and the auto industry bailout. >> obama: when governor romney said that we should let we're going to bet on american workers american auto industry, and it has come surging back. >> romney: that's precisely what i recommended and what happened. >> obama: candy, what governor romney said simply isn't true. he wanted to take them into bankruptcy without providing them any way to stay open, and we would have lost a million jobs. >> eliot: the president has hammered romney on th

the presidential election, governor romney is maintaining his slight lead in the national polls over president obama. the republican nominee has moved above 50% in key polls, maintaining that level with just over two weeks from election day. and that is historically a strong indicator of victory in november. the polls turned positive for governor romney quickly after the first debate and have strengthened since. that after the candidates had been in a virtual tie nationally for months with a slight edge to the president. will those strengthening national polls with polls narrowing in battleground states as well and the governor's favorability ratings also moving that combined make it fair to ask whether it's too early to can ask the question, as the third debate is looming this coming mondayay, has america already decided? let's take a look at where these candidates and their campaigns stand tonight. the gallup national survey of likely voters shows governor romney with a six-point lead over president obama. this poll was tied at 48% as recently as the 9th of this month. a rasmussen reports po

jobs. and both governor romney and i agree we should lower our tax rate. it's too high. there is a difference on how we would do it. i want to close loopholes that allow companies to duct expenses when they move to china, that allow them to profit offshore. and not have to get taxed so they have tax advantages offshore. all of those changes would make a difference. governor romney wants to expand those tax breaks. one of his big ideas when it comes to corporate tax reform would be to say if you invest overseas, you make profits overseas, you don't have to pay u.s. taxes. of course, if you are a small business, mom and pop business, or a big business, you have to pay a reduced rate even that governor romney is talking about, and it's estimated that will create 800 million new jobs. problem is, they'll be in china, or india, or germany. that's not the way we'll create jobs here. the way we'll create jobs here, not just create our jobs, but double our exports. we are on pace to double our exports. creating tens of thousands of jobs across the country. that's why we kept on

administratively. governor romney just said he wants to help those people too, but during the republican dream act that would allow these young people have to access. his main strategy during the republican primary was to say we're going to encourage self-deportation, making life so miserable on folks they'll leave. he called the arizona law a model for the nation, part of the arizona law said that law enforcement officers could stop folks because they suspected maybe they looked like they might be undocumented workers. and check their papers. you know what? if my daughter, or yours, looks to somebody like they're not a citizen, i don't want to empower somebody like that. so we can fix this system in a comprehensive way. and when governor romney says the challenge is, well, obama didn't try. that's not true. i sat down with democrats and republicans at the beginning of my term, and i said let's fix this system, including senators previously who supported it on the republican side, but it's very hard for republicans in congress to support comprehensive immigration reform if their standard-bearer ha

a different theory. when governor romney stands here, after a year of campaigning, when, during a republican primary, he stood on stage and said, i will get tax cuts, not tax rate cuts, tax cuts, to everybody, including the top 1%, you should believe him. that has been his history. that is exactly the kind of top-down economics that will not work if we want a strong middle class and an economy that is thriving for everybody. >> i am sure you have a reply. [laughter] >> you are right. the top 5% will continue to pay 60%, as they do today. i am not looking to cut taxes for wealthy people. i am looking to cut taxes for middle income people. why do i want to bring rates down and lower exemptions and deductions? if you bring rates down, it makes it easier for small business to keep more of their capital and hire people. for me, this is about jobs. i want to get america's economy going again. 54% of america's workers work in businesses that are taxed as individuals. when you bring those rates down, those small businesses are able to keep more money and hire more people. for me, i look at what has

violent impulses before they occur. >> governor romney, the question about assault weapons. >> i'm not in favor of new pieces of legislation on guns or taking guns away or making certain guns illegal. we, of course, don't want automatic weapons which is already illegal in this country. what i believe we have to do as the president mentioned toward the end of remarks, to make enormous efforts to enforce the gun laws we have and change the culture of violence we have we ask how are we going to do that. he mentioned good schools. i totally agree. we drove the schools to be number one in the nation in my state. i believe we give people the hope and opportunity they deserve and perhaps less violence from that. but let me mention another thing. that's parents. we need moms and dads helping to raise kids, and the benefit of two parents in the home, that's not always possible. a lot of great single moms, single dads, but to tell our kids that before they have babies they ought to think about getting married, that's a great idea. the prospect of living in poverty goes down dramatically. t

about equal pay for women. mr. romney pointed to the hiring process when he first became governor of massachusetts. let's listen. >> gosh, can't we find some women that are also qualified? we took a concerted effort to find women who had backgrounds to find women. they brought us whole binders full of women. >> that is a somewhat silly phrase. here is the totally serious context and why it's important to break it down. women may decide this election. look at this. president obama's formerly big advantage with female voters answers to be gone. whatever the size of it actually is, mitt romney can successfully narrow that gap, that would make the president's road to re-election very, very difficult. mr. romney said the president has failed american women and he claimed that "he went to a number of women groups and said can you help us find folks?" there's a problem with the timeline. we want to look at that tonight. the group in albuquerque a nonpartisan outfit, actually approached him, they put out a statement, and i quote "prior to the 2002 gubernatorial election, massgap approache

's second debate between president obama and governor mitt romney, debated by candy crowley. romney accused the president of waiting too long to call the september 11th attack on the united states consulate in benghazi libya an act of terror. the president said romney simply had his facts wrong. watch this. >> the day after the attack, governor, i stood in the rose garden, and i told the american people and the world that we are going to find out exactly what happened, that this was an act of terror, and i also said that we're going to hunt down those who committed this crime. and then a few days later i was there reading the caskets coming into andrews air force base. and grieving with the families. and the suggestion that anybody in my team, the secretary of state, our u.n. ambassador, anybody on my team would play politics or mislead when we lost four of our own, governor, is offensive. that's not what we do. that's not what i do as president. that's not what i do as commander in chief. >> governor, if you want to reply, quickly. >> i certainly do. i think it is interesting the president

is his performance going to be like? governor romney has a lot of pressure on him. in terms of the format, it makes it harder when you are answering questions from voters. u-turn and give it to an attack on your opponent. there are a lot of things that president obama wants to contrast. it is harder to do that when you are answering a question. i think president obama will be faced with some difficult questions. the hardest question is someone going to say, i love you in 2008, i with dealing with actual human beings in almost wanted you to succeed, but you have really disappointed me. what will you tell me that will be different? and governor romney has never been goodany setting. ok, so that is a very high risk and high reward situation for him. he has moved his favorability numbers up considerably. if he knocks it out of the park, it could be a huge win for him. if he falters, it will be eradicated pretty quickly. if president obama faces that question, someone will say to governor romney, i work 40 hours a week but i am a member of the working poor. i don't pay income taxes. he said i
