If his approvals stay around there, that's at least a 4 point win.

There was a 2 and 4 point gain on Gallup on the 10/3 and 10/4, respectively, for Obama.  It boosted the weekly numbers, but it passed.  I think this is too.

That cannot be determined as Gallup is still using a 7 day tracker for some strange reason.

Oct 2-8, 2012 – Updates daily at 1 p.m. ET; reflects one-day change

It should be noted that there are still two days in it that were pre debate.

Exactly. And days immediately post debate. Therefore you can't judge the bounce.

Obama just needs to drive up turnout and he wins.  Of course, we all knew this long before the first debate.

Well, what has happened after the bounce has not driven it down (if it was a single day bounce).

How can the race be so tight if these numbers are accurate?

The only number sticking out is Gallup's approval numbers.

Well technically 'ephemeral' doesn't mean just one day... it means a short period of time... or probably 'transitory' is a better description...

But that's by the by...

"Transitory" implies a transition, or at least can be readily confused with that.  "Ephemeral" implies a temporary condition that will revert back to the status quo in a short period of time.

Which, depending on who you listen to, this MIGHT have been... but I doubt we'll know until the weekend. The blessings of multi-day polls...

The initial polling look like a swing, as opposed to an ephemeral bounce, but we won't know until the weekend.

Rasmussen Obama (National)

Approve 49%, u.

Disapprove 50%, u.

"Strongly Approve" is at 34%, +4.  "Strongly Disapprove" is at  43%, u.

Head to head is at 48/47 Romney(u)/Obama (-1).

The Strongly Approve numbers are up for both candidates, dramatically.  This is either a bad sample or an increase in enthusiasm.

No, it matches Gallup's tracking closely.

The only strange number is Gallup approval.  Gallup tracking is 48/48.

Don't get too excited over Gallups approval.  It's highly suspect due to increased non white voter percent.  A 6.6% increase over the record 2008 level (and 4.9% jump week-over-week).   So if you belive that'll happen this election by all means enjoy Gallup's poll.  

End of september the % of non white vote was 25.7% in Gallup's poll and in September overall had averaged right around 27%.  October they jumped it up to 30.6%.
