Obama and Romney clashed on the
debate floor over energy policy
US President Barack Obama and his
Republican challenger Mitt Romney have returned to the campaign trail, a day
after their fractious televised debate.
Sparks flew as Mr Obama took the
fight to Mr Romney from the very start of Tuesday's encounter in New York.
But the former Massachusetts
governor fought back assertively, hammering away at his rival over the fragile
economy.
Post-debate audience polls gave the
edge to Mr Obama, who was widely judged to have lost their first head-to-head.
BBC North America editor Mark
Mardell says Mr Obama has stopped the panic in his camp.
What the president's campaign would
have dreaded was anything that contributed to a narrative of decline and defeat
for the Democrat as he reaches for a second term, our correspondent adds.
