  Four days before the election, President Barack Obama Friday called the October U.S. unemployment numbers "real progress," but he said there is "more work to do."
  Obama was referring to the government's Friday report that showed the unemployment rate edged higher in October, to 7.9 percent, from 7.8 percent in September.
  "This morning we learned that companies hired more workers in October than at any time in the last eight months," said Obama.
  Meanwhile, both candidates have been campaigning before increasingly enthusiastic crowds. Supporters at Democratic rallies shouted "four more years!," reflecting their desire for another term for the president. Republican crowds have a slightly different chant, "four more days," their way of counting down to Election Day next Tuesday.
