(26,045 posts)Recent hints from Ipsos & PPP suggest the Romney debate bounce has already started to subside.

(37,305 posts)There doesn't seem to be much polling data from what I saw. At least not much from pollsters I give credence to, eg non-Rasmussen.

(60,536 posts)there is good polling from Reuters, Gallup, Ipsos. Nate Silver maintains the President with high poll numbers

(92,325 posts)second point, that is what I was thinking, until I saw a post here from PPP which said that Wisconsin went from double digit lead for Obama to up 2 points, and they attributed that to the debate, which bothered me
Rowdyboy
(22,057 posts)I don't like todays polls either but Obamas underlying structure is too strong and Romney's is too weak for it to matter much in the long run.
My disapproval was pretty mild overall. I'm just tired of negativism. It'll be better soon.

(17,340 posts)And why do most of the posters who post this sort of bullshit hang out in the Gungeon?
Can anyone explain that?
High post count and a drive by.

(92,325 posts)Polls in threads on du and it seems like there was an impact
If you are trying to associate my post count as an insult that used to be against forum rules

(20,600 posts)in the OP for your position. What prompted this, are there new polls or something that show Romney gained? A little explanation would have been nice.
still_one
(92,325 posts)Went from double digit lead to 2 points up. That is awful, unless they screwed up the polling
Denzil_DC
(7,250 posts)Then since you obviously don't know, and Nate Silver's been widely reported as saying that things are unlikely to settle down and give a clear picture till maybe midweek, if then, why post all this nonsense at the moment?
It's not as if anybody can do anything about it at the moment if your OP is correct, and if it's incorrect, it's just FUD.
There must be other ways to pass the time.

(4,507 posts)I don't really fight much anymore, and back then I rarely was wounded, but experience says that when wounded, I fight like a wounded animal.
I am many things, but a quitter isn't one of them.
I just like my breakfast served with a healthy dash of reality.
And a real fighter always has a cold-eyed assessment of the score.

Btw, jsmirman..thanks for all your work on Voter Registration!
jsmirman
(4,507 posts)but I really feel like even Democrats are admitting it didn't go well. I mean, you can even see that context in Murray's fundraising letter.
The polls - as much as I know and believe they can be turned back around - simply are not showing an Obama debate win from the first debate. Whether we like them or not, they are the best presently available reflection on reality. People like Nate Silver do not deal in emotion, bullshit, or pixie dust.
This isn't fatal. It still sucked.

(9,854 posts)It's hard to call that a 'win' after the Aliens ultimately kill everybody except Ripley and they still manage to turn her into an alien incubator.
cherokeeprogressive
(24,853 posts)Your posting history is now being researched as intensely as global climate change.
Google searches are being done using your screen name and all of its possible variations to see if you're posting on RW sites.
PMs are being traded and your screen name is now on hundreds of lists and the word "troll" is being used in more than a few of those PMs.
Bad move.
