President Obama believes that despite his poor debate performance against Mitt Romney last week, the “fundamentals” of the race still remain unchanged, according to ABC News:

“Governor Romney had a good night.  I had a bad night. It’s not the first time I’ve had a bad night,” Obama said in an exclusive conversation with ABC News’ Diane Sawyer, his first televised interview since the debate.

Asked by Sawyer whether it was possible his performance had handed the election to Romney, Obama said, “No.”

“What’s important is the fundamentals of what this race is about haven’t changed,” he said. “You know, Governor Romney went to a lot of trouble to try to hide what his positions are.”
