Obama and Romney Debate Foreign Policy

The Takeaway

With election day just two weeks away, Americans tuned in on Monday to watch the third and final presidential debate, which focused on foreign policy.
In a  recent poll  in three battleground states, foreign policy was only the fourth most important factor for voters, ranked below the economy, the deficit, and health care.
Did this debate change the minds of any independent voters? We check back in with  AJ Dellinger  of Wisconsin,  Julia Pfaff  of Virginia,  Horacio Soberon-Ferrer  of Florida,  Dan Starr  of Arizona,  Barbara Dymond  of New Hampshire, and  Rick Robol  of Ohio to see whether the third debate will be a factor for them.
