Republican Mitt Romney; the man who would be President.

Less than a week ahead of the November 6th election when he hopes to unseat U.S. President Barack Obama, Romney's supporters offer their hopes -- many focused on the economy.

(SOUNDBITE) (ENGLISH) OLIVER HARRIS SAYING:

"Not to say cliché but 'jobs, jobs jobs.'"

(SOUNDBITE) (English) CLAIRE BAKER SAYING:

"Make sure that people who want to work do get jobs and stop just giving away all of our hard-earned money to people who don't deserve it."

Others raised concerns about a Romney Presidency.

(SOUNDBITE) (English) DONNISHA JOHNSON SAYING:

"I'm hoping he gives us these jobs he's talking about. What's scary for me is because I am on welfare and I do get food stamps, he throws those terms around like we're the scum of the earth sometimes and I hope he doesn't just cut it without giving us somewhere to go and something to do."

Less than a week ahead of the election the latest Reuters /Ipsos poll shows the race effectively tied.
