The White House race l Obama and Romney retake the election campaign after Hurricane


U.S. President Barack Obama on Thursday will resume the campaign that broke this week because of the havoc that 'Sandy' had on the east coast of the country, has announced his team, the same day the polls by order seem to smile a little Democrat. According to a survey by Quinnipiac University for The New York Times and CBS, Obama has managed to maintain a lead of five points in the key swing state of Ohio , where according to the poll Democrat would receive 50% of the vote, compared to 45% of his Republican rival, former Gov. Mitt Romney. Although last week the two candidates have been virtually tied in all the polls, the Gallup polling, meanwhile, also said that despite all the majority of Americans still believe that Obama has a better chance of winning the election on November 6 Romney.According to this survey, 54% of respondents "continues to believe that the Democratic president wins reelection," compared to 34% who trust a Romney victory. All this points Gallup, "although the general perception is that this race is very tight and that the outcome is still unknown." So after three days of disruption caused by "Sandy", Obama resume campaign strongly, moving to three of the states that could be key in next Tuesday's election: Wisconsin, Nevada and Colorado . Although the storm has hampered an intense election campaign, some analysts believe that their efforts to coordinate the response to the devastating storm has not been harmed, and that have enabled display an image of leadership. "In a campaign notable primarily for its negativity, the historic storm has given Obama a commander when just a week before election day," said 'The Washington Post' .

Florida returns Romney

Meanwhile Romney campaign resumes on Wednesday also broke halfway through the hurricane, with a rally in Tampa, Florida, which appear with the popular Cuban-born Sen. Marco Rubio, as well as former Gov. Jeb Bush and the Congressman Connie Mack. The Republican candidate for the White House will continue with events in Miami and Jacksonville. Romney tries to convince voters in Florida, a state where both are tied in the polls to vote for him. Florida remains a key state because the winner gets 29 electoral votes representing just over 10% of the 270 needed to win the White House, "he told Efe agency political analyst Michael Hernandez. "President Obama has many possible paths to 270 electoral votes and former Governor Romney can not lose Florida, if you lose then it's over because you can not recover those 29 electoral votes in other states," he said.
