With only 17 days left until the presidential election, it's difficult to find people in New Hampshire who are still undecided. The latest poll shows they represent only about five percent of likely voters. For them, Wednesday night's presidential debate was their last chance to compare the candidates side by side.

New Hampshire Public Radio's Amy Quinton reports.

Wednesday night, President George Bush and Senator John Kerry debate for a final time before the November 2nd election. The debate takes place at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona and will focus on domestic issues. It will give George Bush an opportunity to defend his economic and tax policies, and talk about job creation. While it will allow John Kerry a chance to criticize Bush's handling of the economy over the last four years. The candidates will also lay out their positions on health care, education, and the environment. We'll talk about what they said, how they performed, and who has momentum going into the home stretch. Laura's guests are Linda Fowler, professor of government at Dartmouth College and Dante Scala, associate professor of politics at St. Anselm College and author of "Stormy Weather: The New Hampshire Primary and Presidential Politics".
