National Tracking Poll Thread

[Eraserhead]

Still waiting on ABC/Washington Post though. When does that usually come out?

[Joe Biden 2020]

I echo the calls we should all take a deep breath.  These polls today have by no means sealed the deal for Obama, in fact, we know absolutely nothing more today than we did yesterday, and we knew nothing more yesterday than we did Monday.  The only thing more we know today is we have 13 days left instead of the 14 we had yesterday and the 15 we had Monday.  In fact, with it being after 6:00 on the East Coast, we're rapidly knocking it down to 12 days.

Politico.com shows the ABC/WaPo poll with a 1 point Romney lead - 49-48.  It was conducted Oct 20-23, so on both sides of the debate.

Here is the link on the WaPo website:

It also says Obama only leads on the "understands economic problems of people like you" question by 5 points, 50-45. Highly doubt it, as most other pollsters have him up on that by double digits.

The latest poll has Obama leading 51-44 on that same question.  It has Romney leading 50-45 on who would better handle the economy and has Obama's approval/disapproval at 49/49.

THis is interesting

So is Romney ahead the new normal with Obama getting little bumps from the last two debates? or has Obama turned it around?

PPPs cryptic messages are annoying. One night for one of the 10 trackers need not be all that dramatic.

Swing voters are going to have to start making decisions soon.  Numbers should start to stabilize.

Good point. And then on Friday we'll be down to...11 days I think? How many will we have on Saturday?
