A new national poll conducted by The Associated Press and GfK between August 16 and August 20 suggests that around a quarter of registered voters have still to decide who they will be voting for on Nov. 6.

Mitt Romney released over 500 pages of documents on Tuesday relating to his and his wife Ann’s tax affairs. The published material includes income tax returns for 2010, estimates for 2011, as well as filings regarding their charitable foundation, two blind trusts set up in the couple’s names, and a trust created for their children. The former Massachusetts governor’s decision came as the result of intense pressure from the Democrats, some of the Republican presidential candidates, and even some of his supporters, who are convinced his hesitation to release such documents played a big part in his defeat in the South Carolina primary last Saturday.

Reid (D-Nev.) said that the Republican proposal to extend the payroll tax cut for another year was 'dead before it got to the Senate'. Photo: Robyn Beck/AFP/Getty Images.
The House of Representatives passed Republican legislation to extend the payroll tax bill on Tuesday. However, within minutes of the votes, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) warned that the bill was nothing more than “a pointless partisan exercise.” He also added that he thought the bill “was dead on arrival in the Senate. It was dead before it got to the Senate.” A Democrat bill proposing to offset the cost of the payroll tax break with a surtax on incomes exceeding $1 million was rejected on the same day.
