Mitt Romney from Orlando this morning criticizing president Obama's economic policies.

Question of this election really comes out of this.

To the people of America want four more years like the last four years.

-- -- do you want real change finally.

Okay.

I went on from that Brian -- is with us he's NW Washington analyst -- welcome to program.

Morning -- now throughout this campaign.

Front governor Romney has been outlining the fight millions president Obama's economic policies the relative Felices.

I wanna know why is it the governor Romney is not winning by on March -- -- margin given the president's economic radical.

I think it's two things one is that the Obama response has been to link.

Mitt Romney to the policies of George W.

Bush and people are still concerned about.

How we got into the financial crisis and Romney has done a very poor job almost really no job at all to refute those -- show why he would be different.

Then George W.

Bush he tried to in the in the second debate there's a little opportunity there they never followed up and I think it's and failure on the Romney part.

The other is the other a bomb attack which is the -- attack.

To make.

Mitt Romney look.

Like some heartless.

Robber baron capitalists whose ownership your job overseas and I think these -- that have been very effective attacks the Romney people of it.

Responded to some degree but not enough so -- you think that the economy is still issue number -- But President Obama has been able to sidestep his record in some -- and divert attention but the bottom line question is is the economy still number one -- number in the Clinton -- is the economy stupid.

You think it still is the economy yet.

They are up about absolutely is no doubt in my mind it's still -- it the economy.

And I think that those -- those those two people around America wherever they are who have or still undecided.

They will decide on the economy in the next couple days and that's where Romney's opportunity is.

Because.

Things are not that great it would just kind of modeling along it's not awful but there's there's there's not a lot of opportunity optimism on on hope going forward logic we feel like Europe yeah.

You know and how much -- -- went down here.

What does that media have been at that to blame -- for not just explaining.

Mr.

Romney's message because they -- tell you something in 2000 in the early part of last decade.

Senator Obama backed legislation in the state of Illinois to bring private equity and venture capital money into the state of Illinois so that.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- To some extent but it's really Romney's problem.

If the media is not here to do Mitt Romney's jobs not -- cannot thank you -- a fair and balanced reporting.

That that look good.

But the media it if you if you think that the media -- -- -- -- it is always been biased against Republicans Ronald Reagan overcame a much more hostile media than Mitt what Mitt Romney is facing today.

If you know that -- they the deck is stacked against you media wise then you have to do a better job of counting the cards and making sure you're staying a step ahead of them.

They have failed to do that okay.

Let's talk about the poll we got this morning from Rasmussen which shows 49484.

-- for -- governor Roman.

Let's talk about the enthusiasm that we've seen among the crowds especially last night in Pennsylvania which -- was really striking.

I think may be your underestimating.

-- is showing.

I think you show -- much better than these dead heat polls or some of the polls actually suggest.

I'm all right Paula I don't -- you could be very right on the Stewart -- we've gone back and looked of than last nine elections cycles going to Ohio for a second.

The Republican candidate you know it has outperformed in Ohio compared to his national vote he's got now larger share in Ohio -- he's done nationally.

So I think the polls are -- may be missing a little something and Ohio.

And I I think polls generally display a very small fraction but it -- tight -- matters.

Underestimate.

Republican strength.

-- did in no way they could again I think he can still pull this out I think it's back -- -- what I wanna ask every guest this morning who's gonna win.

Not who you would like to win -- who do you think will win go.

I still think it's Obama I've been saying -- -- -- from the get go but I don't go with these people say is a 707580%.

Chance that he's gonna -- This is a 5545.

Race going into tomorrow and it can change overnight and -- calling for President Obama.

Yeah as -- right now yes I am subject to change Stewart.

South Africa all right Brian got -- KBW thank you very much --
