Obama gained one. Dang
The poll on SATURDAY will be the first Rasmussen poll that shows the full effect of the debate (if any).
It will have WED and THU, considered by some to be strong Republican days (aka weekdays) and FRI, considered by some to favor Democrats
The LAST poll to fully reflect the 2nd debate will be the one that is released next TUESDAY, the 23rd as it will have SAT, SUN and MON (the day of the final Presidential debate).
However, that poll, while providing a baseline for the third Presidential debate, will have a heavy weekend sample
Keep telling everyone it’s close Scott. You’ll sell more newsletters and get more interviews!

Gallup just announced:
Romney 51%
Obama 45%
This spread is up two points from yesterday, but does not include any post-POTUS debate II results.
Not a believer in “science” of polling, and also am not a believer that Ras is even a Conservative.
I want honest polling, if there is such a thing, I think NOT, but folks tell me also that Ras leans right, I am not convinced.
It`s NOT that I dish polls that disagree with me, I just do not believe in the “Science” of political polling.
It may be that the polls once they are announced become reality, the masses hear the numbers and then they say to themselves...Oh that`s what they are saying, I get it...
It may be that there is a financial reason that Ras does not want to release polls that are overly positive for republicans, perhaps it hurts his private business?
George Gallup a wonderful Christian man (now long gone) was a pioneer in polling, aside from him I trust nobody.
