A lot has changed in the small town of Roanoke, Virginia, in the last four years. As Obama visits the state, his previously staunch local supporters are having doubts. Can he still hold the swing state?

Chelsea campaigned passionately for Obama in 2008. She hasn't been involved this year, but still supports the President. "I think a lot of people are disenchanted, but I don't know what they expected in four years." Others aren't quite so invested. "He just goes out and charms people" a local shopkeeper says dismissively. "Everyone just expects him to win here", says another. As people fail to be galvanised, is complacency more of an enemy to Obama than Romney?
