UPI National - LV
Obama: 48
Romney: 47


This is a weekly tracking poll. Last week it was Obama 49/Romney 46

Obama approval (all adults) held steady both weeks at 49/47

Methodology
Results are based on a nationwide telephone survey of 1,196 of registered voters, including 1,046 likely voters, conducted Sept. 30-Oct. 6. The margin of error is 3.5 percent for the total sample and 4.5 percentage points for likely voters.

Another poll that shows the pew poll to be false.

This poll was conducted both before and after the debate - from Sept. 30-Oct. 6.  The Pew poll was conducted after the debate, from October 4-7.   So even if one poll could show something about another, polls taken over different time periods really can't be compared to "prove" one "false".

Whatever debate movement there was, it doesn't look like this one picked up much at all.

This is a week-long poll.  There are more pre-debate days (4) included in this poll than post-debate days (3).  I don't think you can conclude much of anything about the debate's effect.
