As the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic brace for Hurricane Sandy, the monster storm has already taken a toll on campaigning in the presidential race. With just 8 days to go before the election, both President Obama and Mitt Romney have canceled campaign events. But the president needs to strike a balance between campaigning and responding to Sandy. And in a tight race, there will be a lot of attention paid to how he does it.
Politico‘s Jonathan Allen has five political questions about Sandy.
President Obama is back on top in the new Politico/GWU/Battleground poll 49-48 while the new Washington Post/ABC poll has Romney up by that same score. And perhaps most importantly, the president still has his lead in Ohio.
