(48,181 posts)Assuming that the poll plunge was driven by debate one, this could be huge.

(59 posts)But, combined with the great performance from Biden last week, Obama is getting some of his mojo back. As long as he can try to get what he had back, if next week ends up being more of a 'draw' he can still eek out an election victory.

(26,044 posts)That one was 67 million.
Personally, I doubt we'll see a bounce as big as the last time around. Although Romney got caught out on a number of flubs, made a fool of himself, and generally got dominated by the President, he (unlike Obama in the first debate) didn't back down or look listless, and kept repeating his own content-free talking points without apology. For some people, that will count as "leadership" and his talking points as "facts." So, I think a significant portion of those who went "all in" with him after the first debate will stick with him, even if they think Obama was the winner of the night. On the other hand, I would think this would boost the voter enthusiasm of Democrats, and, therefore, move some RVs into the LV category. We shall see...

(3,226 posts)got a real good look at him last night he showed his true colors, I doubt if he won any won over at the same time he turned a lot of people off. What a great night.
