(Reuters) - Republican challenger Mitt Romney has extended his lead over President Barack Obama to 3 percentage points, according to a Reuters/Ipsos tracking poll released on Thursday, ahead of a high-stakes debate between the two candidates' running mates.

I stand by my assertion last month (before the debate) that Romney will ultimately win the election by 5 - 7 points. The evidence for such a victory continues to mount...
 
What is interesting is that UpChuck Todd said on Morning Shmo this morning that even though they thought Romney won the debate last week, it didn't influence their choice. So that raises two questions

1) If the debate didn't change their minds, what caused the movement?

or

2) Are they embarrassed to say that one debate made them change their minds because it would make them seem fickle

I don't think it was as much the debate itself as it was people getting a chance to see Mitt. Many of them probably hadn't even watched one of his speeches. They simply listened to whatever the leftist media told them. When they watched the debate, they realized that he isn't a bad guy at all.

I agree with you, but people claim that it didnt' change their mind. I don't know if it is correct or not. Another aspect is that there is a normal tightening of polls as you get closer to an election because the pollsters want to be right instead of trying to shape opinion which is what they were doing in all of September.

Another interesting poll finding is that OWEbama is down to 53% in Commiefornistan. Now before the libtards spill their Cheetos down their wife beating T shirt, I am not even attempting to claim that Romney can win Commiefornistan. It is just interesting that OWEbama is slipping there and even had to go out to San Fran to shore up support. Why would he have to shore up support in San Fran?

Maybe you should look at the NBC polls that Chuck Todd was talking about. 90+% of people said that they made up their minds before the debate and the polls he was referring to didn't show a lot of movement in the states polled.

Is he going there to shore up support or to raise money?

Yes, that is probably true, so they couldn't gauge how far he had strayed from his positions.
 
The more and more liberal Romney gets, the better and better his poll numbers look.
