Vice President Biden spoke at the NAACP today, he was the keynote speaker. President Obama was invited, but did not go due to scheduling conflicts. Vice President got the crowd riled when he had them imagine a Romney Justice Department.
A new poll from the Pew Research Center gives President Obama an advantage in a key area, the economy. 48% said President Obama would be better at improving the economy, compared to 42% for Mitt Romney. Mitt Romney usually leads or the two are tied in the these polls.
Three new polls from Ohio show President Obama leading, enough for some places to put Ohio back in the lean-Obama corner. A poll from Quinnipiac shows President Obama leading by nine percentage points.
