ABC This Week
Gov. Bobby Jindal and Gov. Martin O'Malley

Following another disappointing jobs report, Obama supporter and Democratic Governors Association chair Gov. Martin O'Malley, D-Md., squares off Sunday in a "This Week" debate with Romney supporter and potential vice presidential nominee Gov. Bobby Jindal on the state of the economy and the latest in the 2012 presidential contest.

Friday's jobs report shows the U.S. economy created just 80,000 jobs in June, below expectations for the second straight month, with unemployment remaining at 8.2 percent – raising more fears of a stalling economy. With no president since World War II winning re-election with the unemployment rate above 7.4%, can President Obama do anything to turn the economic tide before November? Or will presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney win over undecided voters as their views on the state of the economy solidify with just four months until Election Day?

"Nightline" co-anchor Terry Moran hosts "This Week" Sunday, as Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal face off in a "This Week" debate on the economy and the 2012 election.

Then, the powerhouse roundtable debates all the week's politics, with ABC News' George Will; Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne, author of the new book "Our Divided Political Heart: The Battle for the American Idea in an Age of Discontent;" PBS' "Washington Week" moderator and managing editor Gwen Ifill; former Counselor to the Treasury Secretary and Obama administration Lead Auto Adviser Steven Rattner; and Mort Zuckerman, editor in chief of U.S. News & World Report.

After little progress in recent months, what can be done to turn around the country's economic fortunes? As Obama and Romney continue sparring over jobs and the economy, are the Obama campaign's attacks on Romney's Bain experience and his off-shore financial accounts gaining traction with voters? Or can Romney convince key swing state and independent voters that he would better handle the nation's economy if he were president?

Plus, how will the ongoing debate over the Supreme Court's blockbuster health care decision impact the presidential election? And are destructive wildfires raging in the West and record-high temperatures across the country signs of global warming, or just a hotter-than-normal summer?

CBS Face The Nation
On Sunday I'll talk to Sen. John McCainwho knows a thing or two about the economy's effect on elections. In 2008 when the bottom fell out of the economy, it left him with virtually no chance to win the election. People blamed Pres. George W. Bush and his party for that, and Sen. McCain's chances were buried by the bad economic numbers. He's a Romney surrogate, but it seems we're hearing the president invoke his name a lot--about how he and McCain agreed on some of the big ideas in 2008, saying things like, "In some ways, this election is more important than 2008 -- because in 2008, as much as I disagreed with Mr. McCain, he believed in climate change. He believed in campaign finance reform. He believed in immigration reform." So Sen. McCain will be our guest and I'm anxious to see what advice he has for Romney.

I'll talk to the Senator from Monaco where he's attending a big conference as part of an overseas trip. By Sunday he'll have been in Afghanistan, Lebanon and Libya and I know he'll have lots to say about some of those world hotspots.Then we'll turn right back to the Campaign with Assistant Majority Leader Sen. Dick Durbin and former Mississippi Gov. and former RNC Chairman Haley Barbour

I'll turn to a terrific group of CBS News folks for their analysis on all of this, including CBS News making machine Jan Crawford who got the leak on Roberts' switching his mind and then talked to Romney about the penalty-versus-tax debate. Plus, White House Correspondent Norah O'Donnell who did a great job filling in for me last week, and our Political Director John Dickerson . About half the news made last week came out of Jan's reporting so my first question to her will be, "So what else do you know?"

I'll talk to historian and author Doris Kearns Goodwin who wrote Wait Till Next Year: A Memoir, Sports Illustrated' s Frank Deford author of Over Time: My life as a Sportswriter and a number of other books about baseball, MLB TV's Harold Reynolds and ESPN's Jayson Stark, author of Worth the Wait: Tales of the 2008 Phillies and The Stark Truth: The Most Overrated and Underrated Players in Baseball History.

The presidential campaigns are heating up. As both President Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney trade jabs on health care reform, jobs and the economy, the RNC and DNC party chairs, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Reince Priebus, bring us the latest from the campaign trail. Reps. Xavier Becerra and Rep. Tom Price

CNN State of The Union
Sunday exclusive: Arguably, nobody stands more to gain more from Mitt Romney’s success than Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell He really wants that Senate Gavel, and he’s hoping a mobilized base will propel his party to the White House and a majority in the Senate.

Sunday exclusive: Obama Campaign Senior Adviser Robert Gibbs is here. With four more jobs reports to go before the general election and a continuing battle over healthcare – Gibbs will tell us how President Obama plans to play it. And the Independence Day holiday gives us a chance to talk about the battle for Independent Voters. A recent CNN/ORC poll found that GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney leads President Obama 51% to 43% in 15 battleground states.

Friday’s so-so jobs report brought lots of press releases from both sides of the aisle, but it did little to clear up the confusion on the economy’s recovery. We’ll talk to Former CBO director Douglas Holtz-Eakin and Mark Zandi, Chief Economist for Moody's Analytics about what the latest economic figures mean and how they will impact the 2012 race. President Obama reacting to the jobs numbers said; “We’ve got to grow the economy even faster. And we’ve got to put even more people back to work. The problem is we’ve got a stalemate in Washington. This election is about how we break that stalemate.”

Mitt Romney on the other hand said the President is to blame. “The president’s policies have clearly not been successful, in reigniting this economy, in putting people back to work, in opening up manufacturing plants across the country.”

And finally, we’ll talk to former New Jersey Senator Bill Bradley about what he thinks needs to be done to “fix” Washington’s problems, putting people back to work, and his thoughts on the role of government.
