Rep. Randy Forbes weighs in on the negative tone of the presidential campaign

According to a new poll, the negative tone of the presidential campaign might be taking a toll on both candidates.

The latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll shows that 43% of voters now have an unfavorable view of the president, up from 38% in June. 40% of respondents have a negative view of Mitt Romney, up a point.

When asked which candidate is conducting a more negative campaign, 22% say Obama, while 12% say Romney. 34% say that both candidates are running negative campaigns.
