>> one month from today we'll be coming on the air counting down to the poll closings. the month to go mark in a race that's taken potential game changing twist this week. mitt romney 's strong debate performance and yesterday's timely drop in the nation's unemployment rate . these are critical days on every level from fund-raising to how the candidates define themselves and each other to an electorate that is now fully engaged and focused. our andrea mitchell is standing by with analysis, but first nbc's peter alexander on the campaign trail in florida tonight. good evening.
>> reporter: with one month to go, mitt romney is trying to capture the energy, with more enthusiastic crowds and a simpler message.
>> thank you.
>> reporter: after weeks that reenergized republicans and reinvigorated the race, president obama is trying to blunt mitt romney 's momentum embracing friday's encouraging economic news.
>> we learned that the unemployment rate is now at its lowest level since i took office. more americans are entering the workforce. more americans are getting jobs.
>> but romney hasn't ceded any ground, attacking failed policies that have stifled growth.
>> the participation of our adults in the workforce were the same as at the time he got elected our unemployment rate would be 11%.
>> reporter: both are touting the fund-raising tallies. $181 million for obama in september, the most for either side this year. with romney collecting more than 12 million following the debate.

>> reporter: to counter opponents' effort as an out of touch executive, romney shifted to tell more of his own life story , including his friendship with a 14-year-old diagnosed with leukemia.

>> justin, this is actually ann romney calling.
>> reporter: today ann visited phone banks in florida .
>> i've been getting a lot of feedback about the debate?
>> reporter: and looking to replicate his performance in the first debate, mitt romney is not wasting any time preparing for the second, squaring off against his sparring partner, his running mate paul ryan is preparing for this week's vice presidential debate and he is back home in wisconsin.
