feathers in southwest virginia where romney campaigned in coal country. but a campaign spokesman challenged the president s assessment of the unemployment rate. he wants to brag about a 7.8% unemployment rate, but the fact is the middle class is being buried. reporter: still obama supporters who admitted they were taken aback are happy to celee drop. i think the new jobs numbers are fantastic. it was great news and i think, i was just so happy to be here. he seemed to be right on his game. i am very confident in the campaign. there is nothing that i see that is negative about this campaign. i think he is moving forward. he is making sure that all of the people are covered. not some of the people. now, even though the dip in unemployment provided the headline for the president s northern virginia stop, he also focused squarely on women s health and through that a very important voting bloc. female voters. more on that coming up at 6:00. thanks, julie. mitt romney
