his favorability rates are higher, while romney has high unfavorability ratings. but obama actually has a set of principles he believesn. so, he has a message that he carries out on the campaign trail over and over again. mitt romney doesn't appear to have anything he believes in so he has spent a lot of the ama kes rlves atopping. -- >> undstand you -- >> -- that are doing well for him. >> i believe you understand they made a smart, strategic move to go after the 1% and go after fairness and the whole populous campaign that was pushed and denied and questioned by all the establishment. obama push a without ng, iats campaign's about. >> absolutely. you know, there were democratic big wigs saying, don't attack bain. bill clinton had something, you know, not enthusiastic to say about it. t a --t in romney on the bain message. he knows what he believes. he wouldn't be thrown off course by a little bit of bickering from the peanut gallery. and those ads work. so did the autilout, paul in io. that's an early move obama made that republicans criticized, mitt romney was

president obama them, 46% favorable, 50% unfavorable. mitt romney, 41%, 48% unfavorable. that's why democrats are emphasizing the choice right here. even though mitt romney improved his numbers a little less he's still behind president obama. >> mrs. obama specifically? >> she won't take on mitt romney in her speech, but she will talk about how it connects do what he did as president of the last four year, connect to his policy. also look for her to talk a lot more what about he's learned from americans over the last four years as president. >> we're going to be here, of course, watching it together. let's head back to the convention floor. abc's cecilia vega is there. talking to delegates. >> hey, diane, good evening. we're down here with delegates from ohio, mississippi. this group is fired up and ready for a show tonight -- from hawaii, rather, they've been cheering, dancing in the aisles all evening. one of the big moments is going to be the woman introducing first lady. elaine brogh is her name. at christmas, she sent the first lady a christmas card thanking her for

that's a reversal from the same question in august when he had a higher unfavorable rating.for mitt romney 33% of voters have a positive view of him while 40% have an unfavorable opinion. >>> today a local martial arts academy hopes to raise money for the family of a murdered maryland teen while also promoting self-defense. full circle martial arts will hold a self-defense seminar today to support the family of amber stanley. amber was shot to death while sleeping last month when a gunman broke into her family home. the seminar will be held at amber's high school in springdale. the cost is $20 and all proceeds will be donated to the amber stanley fund. there have still been no arrests made in amber's murder. >>> friends and fellow students of another prince george's county teen killed on his way to school are making sure his life is not forgotten. students, staff, and family paid tribute to the memory of markel ross yesterday. they released light blue balloons on the football field at central high in capital heights. that was his favorite color. markel was shot and killed ea

when asked about it 54% of the country viewed him unfavorable.n in florida, show me that number again. how many are you familiar with the marks, 89%. so everybody heard it. but in a critical state like florida. but it is like this all over the country. everybody heard it. 58% think that it was an inappropriate comment -- this is independents in florida -- and 37% think it was appropriate. again, that's a giant 21-point difference, so if you have got that kind of difference and independents hate what you said on top of the fact that you were already doing poorly you are going to be in big, big trouble. what does that lead to. here is the latest poll in florida overall, 53-44. 53-44. there isn't that much time left. romney is losing florida, which he absolutely positively needs by nine points. look if you are not familiar with politics -- this is why i'm doing this so you understand. nine points is not a little. that's a giant lead. that's not going to change overnight. he is in big trouble. it's not even trouble. you are not going to make up nine

john mccain taking note governor romney has high unfavorables. how much more support like this can governor romney stand? >> the people who lose elections tend to offer some advice to the people in the subsequent cycle. look, here's the deal, fiscal cliff will be dealt with. how is a big question. even if we dealt retroactively have to wonder about the uncertainty. how that affects business and investments between now and january. the other thing is who wins have a great deal of influence on what the resolution will be. senator mccain is certainly right there will be something done, but what? it depends on what happens, it is true in the largest sense but senator mccain is not in an ideal position to offer advice to his follow-on as republican nominee. lou: we might even add unsolicited. as we look at what is happening here though, governor rahn emanuel is not anywhere near closing the deal. he has a president whose policies, a man who is unpopular with his handling of the economy, until recently a relatively low approval rating sitting at 50% in

romney's unfavorables are higher than his favorables. at this time in a presidential race, i can't remember a presidential candidate's unfavorables were higher than his favorables. >> ann, i was talking about the polls in the big battleground states, they're going to determine the race. in those eight states, in every single one of them, president obama is either ahead or right inside the margin of error. right now, romney not ahead in a single one of those battle ground states. >> well, i don't know what they expected. but, it's not very good for the incumbent that he can't beat 50%. you also have the media in war mode now. it's hard for romney to get his message out when it's nonstop bashing of romney, paraphrasing of what he said. he releases his taxes last year yesterday and it turns out that he gave $4 million to charity. they're attacking him for not taking deductions. how can you win something like that? which is why i think that the debates are going to be very important. for the first time americans will be able to see romney un

it's important to remember he is the net unfavorable since january. i mean, that's months and months of being more unfavorable than favor views toward him. that's going to take more than a speech to turn around. i mean, a lot of those voters are going to be deciding late and they are going to want to hear more policy as you noted which they didn't really get that much last night. >> mark, as far as convention speeches go, it really falls in line with most of the ones that we remember previously, right? reagan in 84 and 80. i don't believe got into a lot of policy prescholarshippives it was much more ideological mitt romney's speech targeted down the middle women voters and others who might have a negative view of him. >> you are absolutely right. convention speech is not supposed to be a state of the union address a lit my of policy proposals. supposed to introduce a human being to the american people who wants their vote for president. i think romney did a very effective job of introducing himself. he had two things that he needed to accomplish last

so he's more favorable than unfavorable. but the president would like to boost that up.r governor mitt romney. but if we look at the impact of the tampa convention, look at this. you do see a bit of a change. governor romney had just a four-point spread between favorable and unfavorable, wolf, going into the republican convention. ten points now, governor romney actually viewed more favorably than president obama out of the republican convention. you have to go back a long time in the polling to find anything like that. so one of the president's many challenges tonight. obviously the most significant challenge is layout and economic agenda for the second term. justify the big decisions in the first term. but the president would hope if this is a close election in likability, favorability matters, the president would like to improve some on this. this number's down a bit from where he would like it. that's one of the big goals tonight, wolf. >> all right. john, standby. we're going to get back to you. not only the president of the united states but the vice president of t
