奧巴馬稍事休息羅姆尼繼續衝刺

U.S. President Barack Obama is taking a break from the campaign trail Friday, while his Republican challenger Mitt Romney makes what his aides say is a major economic address.

美國總統奧巴馬星期五將在他緊湊的競選行程中稍事休息。而共和黨總統候選人羅姆尼的助手則表示，羅姆尼將在星期五發表一場有關經濟的重要演說。

A campaign spokesperson says Mr. Romney's speech in the so-called swing state of Iowa is the candidate's "closing argument" and will highlight differences in economic policy with the president.

羅姆尼的一名發言人表示，羅姆尼準備在搖擺州愛奧華髮表的演說，這將是他最後階段的陳述，着重強調他和奧巴馬總統兩人在經濟問題立場上的差異。

Mr. Obama, who is coming off a 40-hour campaign blitz across the country, is spending most of Friday at the White House, where he will participate in several media interviews.

過去40個小時在美國進行旋風式競選活動的奧巴馬總統，星期五則將待在白宮，接受一些媒體採訪。

Polls have showed that the presidential race is virtually tied as the campaign enters its final stages before the November 6 election.

投票即將於11月6日舉行。競選最後階段的民意調查顯示，兩位總統候選人的支持度基本不分軒輊。
