Republican presidential candidates held their final debate last night in Sioux City just weeks before the Iowa caucus takes place on January 3. In the Fox News debate candidates attempted to draw distinctions from one another and defend their record to conservative voters. The latest New York Times/CBS News poll shows Newt Gingrich gaining ground on consistent front runner Mitt Romney. But some voters are still undecided. Todd Zwillich is The Takeaway’s Washington correspondent and Louise Story is Wall Street and finance reporter for The New York Times. They examine the facts behind last night’s debate.
