Tonight's Ipsos poll is extremely imporant

[Blue Yorker]

Since Ipsos polls the last 5 days, which is very similar to Pew's last 4 days.

If Obama is still ahead by 2% or so on Reuters/Ipsos, the chances that Pew is an outlier is good. If Romney somehow takes a 2% lead or so in Ipsos, then we're in trouble.

Does anyone know if due to Columbus Day Ipsos will not release today's poll? It's kind of late.

11. This may be considered an understatement nt

2. When does it come out?

What is the usual release time?

4. It's a national poll. Those mean bupkis.

Please don't worry about the national polls. It's the state polls that count.

[TroyD]

7. State polls are most important, yes

But national polls matter too.

They effect the media narrative and momentum

8. You're mistaken Blue Yorker

The PEW poll was made, in part, last Thursday and Friday, when folks were responding to pollsters with their emotions over the debate. Every analyst quoted, respected and read by DU members, report that Romney's debate bounce was not great and is declining. There is a Gallup Poll posted in the "Breaking News" area, it shows a 5 point lead for the Prez. It's a good read

10. EXACTLY! Forget the Pew Poll. Gallup is where it's all at right now. nt

[FrenchieCat]

12. That would be the wrong answer.....IMO.

Time is where it's all at right now.....and we still have quite a bit of it!

[AverageJoe90]

14. Very true, FrenchieCat, very true. Lotsa time left. =)

And right now, Romney's still suffering the backlash from the "I wanna kill Big Bird" fiasco. A lot of mothers in particular weren't at all happy about that, even including some moderate right-leaning centrists. Obama's already hit him on some things, and even though he was a tad off his game last night, he still managed to play a decent hand and Romney's not likely to win over too many people with his constant flip-flopping, either.

13. Obama IS ahead by two points.

15. Good stuff, Mickeyc.

A little less optimistic than I'd hoped, but still good for the President nevertheless.

[FreeState]

16. That is Sundays n/t

[TroyD]

17. I'm assuming it will go up for Obama tomorrow

Once the bad debate night numbers are dropped.

18. This poll is bigger than life itself.

19. This poll is the genetic wellspring of all sentience in the cosmos.

20. Looks like a dead heat. 45-45
