Good evening I'm Bret -- and we are 29 days away from the presidential election.
One major polls says the two candidates are dead even another has Mitt Romney up by a full war.
Pew research has the governor with a 49 to 45 advantage over the president among likely voters.
Romney trailed by eight.
Points earlier this month and that poll will look at the poll numbers and all the important Electoral College college counted just a few moments.
But first governor Romney says the president's global vision.
Puts American national security at risk chief political correspondent Carl Cameron has the specifics.
At the Virginia Military Institute in measured tones Mitt Romney launched his toughest critique yet of Obama foreign policy.
America's security in the cause of freedom cannot afford four more years like the last four years Romney -- hope is not a strategy and administration policies have -- the US and its allies while embolden the enemies with Iran closer than -- nuclear weapons capability.
With the conflict in Syria threatening to destabilize the region.
With -- violent extremists on the march.
And with an American ambassador and three others dead likely at the hands of al-Qaeda affiliates.
It's clear that the risk of conflict in the region is higher now.
When the president took office.
Romney -- the administration's initial and false insistence that the attack on the US consulate in Libya was a riot by a mob angry about an anti Islam movie.
-- always the administration has finally conceded these attacks were the deliberate work.
-- terrorists.
Team Obama called Romney's rhetoric erratic and launched a counterattack ad to run in Virginia slamming Romney's poorly reviewed European trip three months ago.
This is how he handles the world.
Just think what Mitt Romney might do as president eager to look resolute and ready to be commander in chief.
Romney promised actions instead of -- to rise as ineffectual Obama rhetoric.
For the sake of peace.
We must make clear to Iran through actions not just words that their nuclear pursuit will not be tolerated.
He pledged help to rebels trying to topple Syria's brutal Iran backed regime.
And renewed his charge that the Obama administration has thrown Israel under the bus restore the permanent presence of aircraft carrier task forces.
In both the eastern Mediterranean.
And the gulf.
And I worked with Israel.
To increase our military assistance in coordination.
Regarding Afghanistan -- -- the president has depicted anyone who disagrees with his withdrawal timetables as someone arguing for endless war but the route to war.
And a potential attacks here at home.
Is a politically timed retreat that abandons the Afghan people.
To the same extremists.
Who ravaged their country and use it to launch the attacks of 9/11.
Democrats complain -- Romney's speech was filled with -- criticism of president Obama's foreign policy.
But not a lot of specific alternatives this week of course is the big vice presidential debate.
But next week mr.
Obama and Romney will meet again in a face off on Long Island and Fox News has learned -- he's winning another major speech this time on the economy.
-- Carl Cameron traveling with governor Romney Carl thank you there is new information tonight.
