With polls like this, you have to look at the movement, not just the numbers. The day before the debate, this poll had Obama up by 5 points - today, Romney up by 1. That is a 6-point swing in a week. That is huge, especially for Reuters/Ipsos.

“slight lead”. If a Dem were on top, it would be a “commanding lead”.

is the MSM pushing the “just a bounce” meme because bounced go up and down.

Are we now officially stating this is a full blown, democrats wear depends, trend moment?

Obama continues to use Air Force One to campaign rather than do his job as President. People are tired of hearing and seeing him read his teleprompter night after night after night.

Anybody know the party affiliation of respondents? And if it was corrected for a turnout model?
