According to a NBC/ Wall Street Journal poll released today, Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are in a dead ties, both having likely voters of 47%, which makes the third debate even more important. This time around, the candidates will return to a more traditional formatted debated, similar to the first presidential debate and will focus on the controversial topic of international affairs. Many believe that President Barack Obama has the advantage because he is the incumbent and has ended the war in Iraq, ordered the mission to kill Osama bin Laden, and as claimed by many polls, is trusted more among voters on foreign affairs and policy than Mitt Romney.

These are some of the many question people are questioning as the final presidential debate approaches. This debate will be Romney and Obama's best chance to pull ahead, but who will win?
