Change the narrative?

Hi! everyone.
Could you tell me what "change the narrative" means in the para below?
The White House has many tools to change the narrative to its advantage. But it's unlikely swing voters will abandon their concerns about ObamaCare, spending and deficits. The public, especially independents, increasingly believes Mr. Obama's policies threaten America's economic future.
Thanks.

Thanks! Alphecca.
I heard an analyst saying the other day "after this terrorist attack Pakistan's narrative has been changed".
What did he mean by that?

silak12 "after this terrorist attack Pakistan's narrative has been changed".
Before the attack many Pakistani leaders said that the Taliban, being devout Muslims, could not possibly be terrorists or kill innocents.
I think they are not saying that anymore. Their story (narrative) changed.
