President Barack Obama battled back in a contentious second debate with Republican presidential nominee Gov. Mitt Romney. Was President Obama's performance enough to re-capture the momentum in this deadlocked presidential race? As Gov. Romney shows strength in the latest national polls, can he close the gap in the key swing states where President Obama still leads? And how will the two candidates make their closing arguments in Monday's final debate on foreign policy?
