Second US Presidential Debate Between Obama and Romney on Oct. 16

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and US President Barack Obama are all set to lock horns in the second presidential debate on Tuesday, Oct. 16, 2012 at 9 pm EDT in Hempstead, New York.

Romney did fairly good in the first presidential debate and has seen a surge in opinion polls and voter enthusiasm since his strong debate performance against Obama on October 3, 2012.

The candidates will be answering questions from members of the audience during the televised event. The less formal setting could work to Obama's advantage—the Democrat often appears more at ease in such settings, especially compared with Romney, who can come across as aloof.

While his Republican rival was pressing the flesh in the key battleground state of Ohio on Saturday, Obama had already retreated to Williamsburg, Virginia, which will serve as his debate camp HQ until Tuesday's clash.

Obama will be looking to halt his rival's momentum with a better performance on Tuesday.
