Why do Americans seem more divided than ever during this election year?

BBC World Service drives across the United States to find out why Americans seem more divided than ever.

Philippa Thomas and Charlotte Pritchard travel from Los Angeles and the glitz and glamour of Vegas to the edge of the country on the US-Mexican border in Texas. They talk to musicians, gun enthusiasts and cowboys about whether President Obama has delivered all he promised. As well as enthusiasm for the new healthcare reforms and the recovering housing market, they uncover the deep tensions and worries permeating this election year.
