make things change. you re going to see a movement build in the next few years that s never been before in this city. the potential, anyway. how is it different, the youth getting involved in voting? nobody votes. the turnout is extremely low in baltimore, 12%, 13% in the last election. there s nothing. there s new energy here. we ll see if that translates itself into that kind of voting power and see the drum corps you have out here? this little piece of baltimore, this is baltimore. baltimore, new orleans, are the only two places in the country that have this. this is huge in our communities. beautiful to see marc. thanks so much. always. a local voice from here. i appreciate it. the baltimore community is asking for help, reaching out for help rebuilding structurally and emotionally. if you d like to help some of the 200 businesses destroyed on monday night in the rioting go to cnn.com/impact. again, cnn.com/impact. some parts of baltimore are mired in poverty. it s really

reporter: and then bok mcdonnell, a very popular figure in the commonwealth that appears very much up for grabs. your name is on the short list. if you are asked, would you accept the job? what would you bring to the ticket? that s not for me to decide. it s only his list that matters. last but certainly not least, the brash and outspoken governor of governor, chris christie. in the end, nobody votes for a vice-president. they vote for a president. no matter who governor romney picks, if the people of the united states are not convinced that he is the right man to be president of the united states, right now, no matter who he picks for vice-president, they are not voting for him. by the same token, that went for president obama 4 years ago. do you think the people of the united states said, i m not sure of this obama guy, but, boy, i love biden. reporter: but anything can happen in politics, with john mccain, picking sarah palin. don t be surprised if we see a
we begin this hour with a very important change in the presidential race. according to our brand new cnn/orc poll, a majority of the nation s voters now say they want to re-elect president obama. take a look at this. the president has 52%. he s seven points ahead of mitt romney who s at 45%. just a month ago the president in our poll was ahead 49% to 46%. significantly the president now according to our latest poll is above 50%. our polls also show what voters think of mitt romney s potential vice presidential picks. let s bring in our national political correspondent jim acosta. he s taking a closer look at all of these numbers. that s right. at least on the surface, should bring a smile to the obama campaign. and perhaps a warning to mitt romney and his campaign to go big in the vice presidential search with mitt romney heading out on a potential rollout of his running mate. the results on the veepstakes are even more fascinating. the two men that seem to be the safe
bill: emergency crews have a mess on their hands in north carolina. a freight train caring propane goods and other hazardous chemicals derailed outside of charlotte. homes evacuated as a precaution. none of the chemicals on the train were leaking at the time and nobody on board was hurt. that is good news. no word on what caused the derailment that is slowing trains on the busy eastern corridor in north carolina. patti anne: i m is running out for governor romney to choose a running mate. one potential vp says it s not that big a deal. new jersey governor chris christie saying in typical fashion people are putting way too much emphasis on this. in the end nobody votes for vice president. they vote for president. and, you know, no matter who governor romney picks, if the people of the united states are not convinced that he s the right man to be president of the united states right now, no matter who he picks for vice president they are not voting for him.
