Gallup Out: 4 point shift for Obama in Approval, 2 point shift for Romney in race

Obama Approval: 53 - 42 (four point improvement from yesterday, it's a three day rolling average)

Presidential Race
Obama: 49
Romney: 46

This is a two point shift for Romney from yesterday for the 7 day rolling average.

This is good for Obama because the 3 day is past Romney's debate bump, while the 7 day average still contains it.

In summary, this says OBAMA HAS HIS MOMENTUM BACK.

I am very happy to have been on the upper end of the learning curve on this one. Some will say it's the Big Bird effect. Some will say it's the Gish Gallop of rapid fire lies being debunked. But, I think it's this undecideds are fickle. Obama came out of the debate stronger than he went in. Mitt put himself in a box and he looks stupid now.

Giving the defeatist attitude around here, I wouldn't be surprised if liberals felt less like voting three to four days after the debate.

"Gallup tracking of likely voters: R 49, O 47. But: Obama approval at 53%. "

I'm getting annoyed by all these conflicting Gallup numbers.
