The Clock is Ticking

As the clock counts down the hours till voting day, both President Obama and Governor Romney hustled and bustled pitching the final pieces to their campaigns.

The Los Angeles Times gave a poll favoring Obama 50% to 47%, pointing towards his commendable behavior of dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy for his slight lead.

The New York Times mentioned specific battle ground states that both candidates were paying particular attention to Ohio, Iowa, Virginia, and Colorado. Florida had the spotlight with the Democratic Party filling a lawsuit over the long lines and Republican decision to cut early voting sooner than what was originally projected.

The Washington Post also mentioned the candidates last minute focus on battle ground states, specifically in Ohio, holding six events out of their 14 in efforts to sway Ohio voters. Also, a late Sunday night CNN poll showed the candidates at a dead tie, 49% to 49%.
