Obama and Romney go head-to-head

After a successful performance in the first pre-election televised debate in Denver last week, Republican candidate for the White House, Mitt Romney practical caught up in the polls with President Barack Obama.

In a poll conducted by Gallup after the debate, Obama now wants to vote 49 percent of Americans, and Romney - 46 percent. It is the difference in the limits of statistical error. Before the debate, two politicians shared in the same poll five percentage points.

Mobilized the electorate

According to the same survey, only 73 percent of Obama's supporters say that for sure will vote Nov. 6. Meanwhile, among those who declare their support for Romney, 86 percent says it will definitely take part in the elections.
