This result means that yesterday's polling closely matched the day that dropped off (last Sunday -- pre-debate). Combined with the lack of change on Ras, it suggests that Romney's "surge" stopped dead after Thursday-Friday, and returned to where it was before the debate. As those Thursday-Friday numbers drop off the back end of the trackers, look for Obama's lead to return to normal.
