Obama has made quite a comeback from his previous debate. Both candidates have realized the importance of the debates, and are bringing their game to get into office. It is evident that the two do not like each other in the slightest, and argue over every possible topic. I feel that this truly was a rematch, considering that both sides were bringing their strongest points. Obama targeted Romney’s 47 percent comments, while Romney fought back with the decline in jobs for women and oil prices. The viewers have seen a focused side of Obama, an aspect he was lacking in the last debate. Will Obama’s performance bring him more support? Is Romney still in the lead from the previous debate? If the final debate is as heated as this, the presidential race will be very close. This article focuses on highlights from the debate, and I recommend watching the full debate in the link below.

I agree with you completely. For this debate, Obama came into it with much more force then the previous debate. The first debate seemed like just a simple talk through, yet this seemed like an actual debate. Also Obama's words seemed much more targeted to ruin Romney. I think Obama's performance in this debate will absolutely impact voters. Still Romney Has a chance, if you look at the analysis on The Week's 'How America Votes' (http://theweek.com/article/index/233900/how-america-votes) As you can see there is still no evident way voters are swaying right now, and in the next debate, hopefully we will see a interesting outcome that will make a good impression on both partys. Also if you have extra time there is a link on the bottom to Saturday Night Live's interpritation to the situation, and although it does not add a lot of insite, it adds a little humor to the situation.
