number below the psychologically important barrier of 8% before election day. how can he hit that magic number? i'm joined by jarod bernstein, nbc and cnbc contributor. why is 8% so important and why is it that number really the make or break number when it comes to the president's re-election campaign? >> well, i don't think it is a make or break number. let me say it this way. any time you cross a barrier, whether it's the dow jones average crossing 13,000 or the unemployment rate hitting that 8.0%, a number with a zero after the decimal point, people make a big deal out of it. it means something. what really matters mostly for the president, though, is less a particular level of unemployment and more the direction that that rate is going in. if the unemployment rate, 8.3% last month -- i'm sorry, 8.3%

added jobs last month. let's bring in nbc's mike viqueira at the white house and luke russert on capitol hill. mike, president obama just got back after going to north carolina talking about jobs and energy and announcing a billion dollar initiative to promote clean energy and more 2012 preparations, yes? >> reporter: well, it's no accident certainly that the president has visited north carolina no fewer than ten times since coming here to the white house and the oval office. you really need to look at the pattern of where he has traveled over the course of the last three years to figure out where the battlegrounds are. you are absolutely right. north carolina he was the first president to win it since jimmy carter, first democrat to win it since jimmy carter in 1976. it's key to his electoral strategy now. he still has an uphill fight there. a recent poll says 50% of voters in north carolina disapproved of the way he is handling the economy. the president was there touting his green initiatives, touting the economy, touting a boost in manufacturing, and increase in foreign investment and hoping for more good news friday when the new jobless numbers come

florida? >> everyone right now has a mathematical chance. the thing is that mitt romney has the overwhelming chance of getting the 1144 delegates needed to capture the republican nomination. if you're rick santorum, if you're newt gingrich, the thing is, you can stay in. we've actually projected, if you win 60% of the remaining delegates, you can get that 1144 number. the hard thing is actually getting those -- all those remaining delegates. a lot are divided up proportionally. if you assumed mitt romney is going to win in some states he's going to benefit again more contests than new england, in the northeast, then you bump up that number to about 70%. so, the math is very -- it's not impossible but it's very difficult. >> at what point does this go from being strictly business to strictly personal, though? >> but it's already been very personal. that's the damaging thing for mitt romney and the republican party right now. we had our recent nbc/wall street journal poll. the last month and a half has taken a toll on the republican party. even if mitt romney, everything breaks his way, he's probably not going to wrap up that 1144 magic number until may. so, we have potentially another

today. they'll brief reporters about the kind of matha they think he -- that he has in his favor, that he's ahead in the delegate count and it's hard to see how his challengers catch up to him. as a result, you know, despite the perception problem, despite the sort of struggles he had with ohio last night, he's going to continue on and argue that slow and steady wins. >> and when you look at the exit polls last night, he is losing, actually, middle class voters, he's losing conservative voters. nbc took a look at what he had done up until this point so far. and then compared it to last night's results. in fact, less support among people making less than $100,000. less support among the conservative base and evangelical christians. >> he's struggling with the parts of the party for which he's been struggle throughout this entire process. that's what we saw last night. when you talk about electability and best experience, that's mitt romney's core. but when you get into somebody with strong moral character or

left. that said, let me give you the good news or the bad news. ohio has a history of having 3% to 12% its vote uncounted on election night. what does that mean? if the margin is less than 2 percentage points tonight. nbc's not calling this race, nobody will be calling this race. there's every chance we can't call this race tonight. we have a couple models that indicate the margin between romney and santorum could be less than a quarter of 1%. what does that mean? automatic recount, believe it or not, because this is a state run election. you really don't need it because of the delegate issue. we know how the delegates are going to go, because we know about this whole delegate problem that santorum had. there may have to be a mandatory recount if it's as close as two of the models indicate it could be. if they recall ohio tonight maybe it will be eight months before we find out which republican won the ohio primary.
