15. I think that's probably correct

PPP is saying they aren't seeing much of a debate bump for Obama tonight, and Nate Silver seems cautious in not expecting Obama to go much higher than a (+2) National lead.

As Jeff Greenfield said today, although Obama performed well in the 2nd debate, the 1st debate may still remain the most important because it allowed Romney to increase his level of support and present him as the agent of change in this election and an alternative to Obama.

We may also not be able to get back some of the women voters who Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg said went to Romney after the first debate.

We are still looking at a tighter race than we had prior to the first debate.

So that's why hard work and taking nothing for granted must be the order of the day.

He means all Romney's gains are sticking, which isn't surprising. smorkingapple Oct 2012 #13
How could they possibly mean that if they haven't polled there during Romney's bump? LisaL Oct 2012 #14
I think that's probably correct TroyD Oct 2012 #15
Exactly, and this is what many on this board don't get smorkingapple Oct 2012 #18
