Too close to call: Obama, Romney hit swing states as polls show them tied

           

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama and Republican rival Mitt Romney embarked Saturday on the final stretch of their long, grinding presidential campaign, making their closing arguments in the handful of battleground states that will decide the outcome of a tight race that is going down to the wire.

National opinion polls showed a race for the popular vote so close that only a statistically insignificant point or two separated the two rivals. Soundings in the nine battleground states tightened after Obama’s poor performance in the first presidential debate, on Oct. 3, and stayed that way.
