yes but state polls and ppp confirm that...

Those are still early polls and most of them are pre debate.  Calm down everyone.

Are you kidding me?  If Romney gains on that debate performance, this is truly over.  Let the data work themselves out, but if gallup and Ras aren't back to a tie by this weekend, there's no way back to September now.  It might be time for Dems to cut their losses and focus on turning out a <70% white electorate in 2016-20.

It is still too early to see if there was any debate bounce.  Calm down.

My take on the debates:

Debate --> Result

First Presidential Debate --> Romney takes lead in polls

Vice Presidential Debate --> Bleeding Stops from Obama camp

Second Presidential Debate --> Obama rises to tie Romney

Third Presidential Debate --> Winner will pull ahead of other candidate

Obama/Biden didn't stop the bleeding, thought they might have cut back the blood flow yet.

Obama takes the lead back on RCP. It's still very early but the debate may have had some impact on the race.

The debate bounce would the 0.1%.
