President Barack Obama is launching a lucrative, celebrity-studded fundraising trip to California a day after Mitt Romney ticked off examples suggesting that news of a drop in unemployment has not reversed what ails the United States.
Mr Romney rallied in battleground Florida, the day after the Government reported an unemployment rate of 7.8% in September, breaking a 43-month streak of joblessness of 8% or higher.
The report risked breaking Mr Romney's stride, gained in a strong debate performance days earlier.
