President Barack Obama won the key swing states to win re-election Tuesday by defeating Republican challenger Mitt Romney.

Obama surpassed the decisive 270-vote threshold in the Electoral College with victory in Ohio. The win and a later projected victory in another swing state - Virginia -- gave him 303 electoral votes to 206 for Romney, according to the CNN call based on unofficial returns.
