(25,415 posts)Romney had dropped a point. If Reuters has them tied in their next poll or Obama with a lead then it would be two tracking polls showing Obama leads and two showing Romney leads. Then you know it is indeed an incredibly close race.

(4,734 posts)Sometimes. It's great to see him moving ahead in the national race. It's all about the swing states but I want him to win both.

(44,973 posts)It's not necessary for Obama to win the national race.

(21,328 posts)were deflated after his lackluster debate performance. I think that at the margins they didn't even want to answer the polls, which in itself is enough to skew things a little bit. As more time passes, and assuming he puts in a better debate performance, this will shift back and I think that he'll go into election day with a 3-4 point lead.

(24,135 posts)I got called by two polling groups, neither one sounded familiar, so I hung up!
I was doing some phone banking yesterday and people are sick to death of being called! A couple hung up on me and the one's that answered pleaded with me to stop calling...they were supporters of PO, but sick of the calls.

(8,064 posts)tomorrow will be a FUN day when new (non-republican) polls start coming out.
Pew was a definite outlier last week. And the only other polls buoying Romney are republican pollsters. His moment in the sun is OVER.

(39,313 posts)or were in 2008. It's Investors Business Daily and the owner is a repuke, but I'm glad their poll was the most favorable!

(99,710 posts)I am a bit suspicious too but I like today's results. I might not like the results tomorrow but for the moment I'm happy.

(8,064 posts)because oct 5 - 9 will soon be falling out of the polls for averages used.
once those days, pus I guess the 10th, fall out, republicans will
be in a panic as they take off their rose colored glasses to get a closer
look at what is happening.

(4,551 posts)The race remains in a statistical dead heat, with Obama holding a slender 46.7% to 46.0% edge over Romney.
Obama's slight edge, which has emerged in the last 3 days, has in large part been built on a drop in independent support for Romney, though the former Massachusetts governor still holds a 9-point edge with that key bloc.
Also in the last 3 days: Obama has found growing support in the South (narrowing the gap with Romney from 14 to 7 points), padded his huge lead among Blacks and Hispanics (moving to an 81-point edge from 71), and recaptured urban voters (now a 29% lead, up from only 10 points).
