"I just recently got back to work about eight months ago, so the progress is very slow at this point and with people its more of a frustration factor where people like figure it should have been done maybe two years ago."

Mitt Romney has appealed to black voters to support his campaign.

Mitt Romney speaking in Ohio

"If you want a president who will make things better in the African-American community you are looking at him."

Some voters say President Obama has not done enough to deal with concerns in the black community. Olga Wright lives in North Carolina. It is one of the few politically unpredictable "swing" states that could decide the election.

"We have had an emphasis on the Latino population, we have had an emphasis on the gay population, but when it comes to African-Americans I don’t see an initiative that was put in place to propel our issues."

Next we turn to the issues of another group: small business owners. Larry Guinn owns a factory in North Carolina. He says he worries about the future.

"I am not going to hire many people. I just see more and more unemployment in the country, and that is not good for America."

Jeremy McKinney is an immigration lawyer in North Carolina. He thinks the country is headed in the right direction.

"From our vantage point we see no reason to change the captain of the ship now."

Mr. Guinn is a Republican who supports Mitt Romney.
