The spread was as high as +12 and narrowed to +2 or so after the debate. It's now back up to +7 and Obama is above 50%. It's a 3 day rolling average so it's a very good sign that there's a floor underneath those debate numbers and he should be working himself back into the lead, imo. And polls subsequent to Pew should be reflecting that.
