REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS SUSPEND CAMPAIGNING IN THE US

President Barack Obama suspended campaigning and returned to Washington last night to oversee the response to Hurricane Sandy.

Meanwhile his Republican rival Mitt Romney curtailed political events to show respect for the storm's potential victims.

As the storm cuts into the final week of campaigning in an especially close race for the White House, both men are trying to avoid coming across as overtly political.

Obama and Romney are virtually tied in the presidential contest, according to a Reuters/Ipsos tracking poll. It showed the Democrat leading by a single percentage point eight days before Election Day.

With the hurricane dominating headlines, Obama used the bully pulpit of the White House briefing room to show he was on top of the storm response effort.
