  I am sorta glad that Obama was a little slow on the uptake to Romney's lying.  It got the Democrats out of that feeling that we were going to win hands down.  Complacency is no where to be in an election of this importance.  It plain and simple, with Obama it's a slow, successful way out of the depression that George W. got us in.  But, with Romney it is depression worse than a Herbert Hoover depression  and a tragic disaster for the middle class, poor, old and the sick. 

               The Republican/Tea Party, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.  For the rich, by the rich and to the rich. ------------------>    In "GOD" they trust.

Yup!

That is his favorite polling group.  But despite that, it's going to be a Romney blowout.

332 - 206 OBAMA!

[Henry Hawk]

From left wing pundit Andrew Sullivan:

The Pew poll is devastating, just devastating. Before the debate, Obama had a 51 - 43 lead; now, Romney has a 49 - 45 lead. That's a simply unprecedented reversal for a candidate in October. Before Obama had leads on every policy issue and personal characteristic; now Romney leads in almost all of them. Obama's performance gave Romney a 12 point swing! I repeat: a 12 point swing.

Romney's favorables are above Obama's now. Yes, you read that right. Romney's favorables are higher than Obama's right now. That gender gap that was Obama's firewall? Over in one night:

Currently, women are evenly divided (47% Obama, 47% Romney). Last month, Obama led Romney by 18 points (56% to 38%) among women likely voters.

Seriously: has that kind of swing ever happened this late in a campaign? Has any candidate lost 18 points among women voters in one night ever? And we are told that when Obama left the stage that night, he was feeling good. That's terrifying. On every single issue, Obama has instantly plummeted into near-oblivion. He still has some personal advantages over Romney - even though they are all much diminished. Obama still has an edge on Medicare, scores much higher on relating to ordinary people, is ahead on foreign policy, and on being moderate, consistent and honest (only 14 percent of swing voters believe Romney is honest). But on the core issues of the economy and the deficit, Romney is now kicking the president's ass:

By a 37% to 24% margin, more swing voters say Romney would improve the job situation. Swing voters favor Romney on the deficit by a two-to-one (41% vs. 20%) margin.... Romney has gained ground on several of these measures since earlier in the campaign. Most notably, Obama and Romney now run even (44% each) in terms of which candidate is the stronger leader. Obama held a 13-point advantage on this a month ago. And Obama's 14-point edge as the more honest and truthful candidate has narrowed to just five points.      In June, Obama held a 17-point lead as the candidate voters thought was more willing to work with leaders from the other party. Today, the candidates run about even on this (45% say Obama, 42% Romney).

So I guess since those results paint a picture that you want painted, then they're not skewed?

All I am doing is passing on an opinion piece that I thought would fit into this thread very well..........not saying anything one way or the other.  It is what it is, imo.  I think that debate told Americans quite a bit.

  What is it you are always saying.  "we'll wait until", the next debate.  Maybe we will see the real Romney and the real Obama.  Mitt's time is coming.

Yeah, and I see Romneyhood stepping all over the horseshit he has been spreading in the process. Nobody knows the initiatives of foreign policy like a sitting POTUS, and lying Mitt will be sorely misinformed at a minimum.

  I think Obama has done an excellent job on foreign policy.  Considering the crazy rags head he has to work with and the Jew who don't want to take shit off of anyone.  Peace with the Rag Heads?      I think Obama has done a fine job of walking the knife's edge in foreign policy.   

  We seen the fine job Mitt did with his little trip to Israel and England.        What a fool and dumb ass and you want this man running American affairs.

Interesting.  I've been checking this link posted by administration regularly over the past weeks and months.  As it aggregates polling data from numerous sources, Rasmussen is included in the data depicted on the link.  However, due to variances of up to 5.8% of Rasmussen polls, they have a separate map which discounts Rasmussen polls from the aggregated data due to the relatively large variance.  That map can be found here:

Look at the difference between that map, and the map that factors Rasmussen data into the results which is the main map here:
