What?

The previous poll was taking in September, which makes it irrelevant.

Obama doing 'slightly better' (which is subjective) than Romney on the 2nd debate, and Romney winning big on the 1st debate equals Obama losing points. Obama is still losing when you look at it from +6 in September PPP poll and October PPP poll.

But it is stupid to compare a poll from September to a poll in October and say Obama got a -3 bump. The poll in September is out of date.

PPP doesn't weight for party ID, so it's totally irrelevant to harp on it. Even at the top of Romney's bounce, he only had a +1 lead, it's very conceivable that Obama recovered some points in the state. Lastly, party ID is very fluid, some independents can end up in either party's sample in any poll. Some independents likely correlate how they plan to vote with party ID.

Pretty much this.
