2012 presidential election

A look at where Democratic President Barack Obama and Republican presidential rival Mitt Romney stand on a selection of issues, in brief:

President Barack Obama is hailing another month of job growth but declaring "we've got more work to do."

More than a million and a half Garden State residents are still without power, and hurricane or no hurricane, Jersey voters are supposed to head to the polls next Tuesday.

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is endorsing President Barack Obama for re-election, citing his leadership on climate change.

It takes electricity to hold an Election Day and currently there are about 2 million utility customers still without power in New Jersey.

President Barack Obama dives back into campaigning after three days immersed in managing the federal response to the storm that battered the East Coast.

Mitt Romney is vowing to deliver "real change" in Washington, instead of just talking about it.

The havoc unleashed by Superstorm Sandy is bringing an unnerving pause to the presidential campaigning as President Barack Obama and rival Mitt Romney adjust the breakneck pace of the contest's final days to the anxieties and escalating emergency demands sweeping the Eastern Seaboard.

Steering clear of the superstorm bearing down on the East Coast, Republican Mitt Romney returns to battleground Ohio to woo voters nine days before the election.

With an eye on the weather forecast, President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney are launching a 10-day sprint to the finish line in a contest increasingly about momentum vs. math.
