Viva Obama! - Mitt Romney has a Latino problem that Spanish-language ads outlining his first day in office won’t solve, especially if he continues to oppose the Dream Act. And although the Latino community is disappointed that President Obama hasn’t been able to get a comprehensive immigration bill passed, they still have that thing called esperanza — hope. A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll shows that Obama leads Romney by 34 points among Latinos, even though just 29 percent consider themselves to be liberals. (Photo: EPA/STEVE POPE /LANDOV)

The Mouth That Roared - Vice President Joe Biden is not the kind of guy about whom people feel ambivalence. Some find his affinity for speaking his mind and taking the consequences charming and forthright, while others consider it a political liability. In a Gallup poll published May 23, 42 percent of Americans said they have a favorable view of Joe Biden, compared to 45 percent who view him unfavorably. (Photo: REUTERS/Kevin Lamarque)

In a Twist - Polls are as fickle as American voters and this week's high may be next week's lowest low. It is way too early to pop champagne corks, but new NBC News/Marist polls show President Obama leading Mitt Romney by 48 to 44 percent in the battleground states of Florida and Virginia and 48 to 42 percent in Ohio. However, a Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday gives Romney the edge in Florida by a margin of 47 to 41 percent. (Photos from left: Marc Serota/Getty Images, Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)

No Brainers - If Democrats and Republicans can agree on just one thing, it's that the this year's presidential election is going to be a squeaker and Americans will likely decide the winner based on their confidence in him to fix the economy. If the election were held now, Obama would win by 49 to 46 percent, an ABC News/Washington Post poll finds. But when it comes to handling the economy, the two candidates are tied at 47 percent.

Teens Get Political - Though most aren’t old enough to cast a ballot on Election Day, the majority of America’s teens value the civic responsibility of voting. Eighty percent of teens in a Boys and Girls Club of America poll released on May 23 said that U.S. citizens have a responsibility to vote and that every vote in an election can make a difference. Additionally, 57 percent agreed they should serve as leaders in their communities as teenagers. (Photo: Jessica Kourkounis/Getty Images)

Blacks and the Gays - African-Americans are evolving on the issue of marriage equality, which may in part be attributable to President Obama's support for the sensitive issue. A new Washington Post/ABC poll shows that 59 percent of African-Americans now say they support gay marriage, up from the approximately 40 percent before Obama expressed his support publically.

Active Duty in the Military Declines - The United States military had engaged in the longest period of sustained warfare in the past decade than ever in the country’s history, though fewer Americans have served on active duty during that same period. A Pew survey released on May 24 found just 0.5 percent of Americans had served on active duty at any given time, this compared to nearly 9 percent at the height of World War II.

Birth Control Gains Acceptance Among Catholics - In recent months, outcry from religious leaders presented a road block for the portion of President Obama’s health care plan that required all institutions, including Catholic ones, to offer birth control as part of employee healthcare plans. However, 82 percent of Catholic voters in a Gallup poll released May 23 said birth control is morally acceptable, which nearly matches the 89 percent of all Americans and 90 percent of non-Catholics who said the same.
