Politics Weekly podcast: Barack Obama v Mitt Romney - US election preview

With two weeks of the 2012 US presidential election to run the race between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney looks to be a dead heat on national polls. But with the incumbent Obama still leading in key swing states such as Ohio most pundits still consider him to be the favourite.

Joining Tom Clark to discuss the campaign, the polls, the economy and the candidates we have pollster Stan Greenberg, plus Guardian columnists Richard Adams, Jonathan Freedland and Hadley Freeman.

We also hear from Aditya Chakrabortty on the economic conditions in the US; from Stan Greenberg on the latest polls and from Geoffrey Kabaservice on what a win for Mitt Romney would mean for the future of the Republican party.
