I don’t trust Gallup much. I’d prefer to see Rasmussen validate their poll with like numbers. Ras does show a small Romney lead.
I still am wary of the “post debate bounce” meme and fear we will be hit with it in the next few days.
Gallup predicted the winning candidate’s vote margin in 2008.
Its the same year except I think Romney will perform better than the numbers show.
Maybe, maybe not.
I think the first debate changed a lot of folks minds and I'm not sure once they crossed over to Romney that they're going to cross back.
Even PMSNBC's panel of undecided voters (seriously, how can you still be undecided at this point?) showed that most on the panel swayed toward Romney.
And that's after the SECOND debate.

Agreed, that’s why I won’t get excited just yet. If other polls started to show the same thing and it looks like that this time next week then...
I’m more fearful of a Democratic dirty trick in the coming days and a military strike against Libya, probably on Monday; anything to reverse the momentum in the final days of the campaign. Between the Octsuprise website and the rumors about Gloria Allred, something is going on. I’m guessing the website will release what’s purported to be Romney tax returns, and Allred has found someone who will claim to have had an affair with Paul Ryan (don’t think there’s any way they could pin that charge on Romney).
As for the Libya attack, it’s all but a certainty. Desperate effort to make Barry look presidential in the final days of the campaign. And don’t rule out something against Iran, either. As Obama sees it, even if it doesn’t salvage his re-election, it will leave Romney with another mess to clean up.
Team Romney needs to be ready to for anything. This campaign is going to have a very nasty finish.
Too late. It would have started showing up by now if it was going to happen. Now we are heading into the weekend and focus has shifted to the third and final debate on Monday night. Tuesday night's debate is already old news.
As Monday night's debate focuses on foreign policy, Romney will have plenty of opportunity to correct the record with regard to the Libya situation and Candy will not be around to have Obama's back. Should be fun to watch.
