Of course if there is a steady and consistent result. With both candidates confirming what's going on on the ground. I'll take it more seriously.

But without consistency with results or methods GOS and all that jazz.

My only concern is that it builds a narrative that Romney is gaining momentum. - LM - 12-Oct-2012 11:26 AM
- Do you think the VP debate will affect his momentum? - nishab - 12-Oct-2012 11:44 AM

      - I know. I can't get over how ridiculous it was. EOM - LM - 12-Oct-2012 11:53 AM
        
        It was. Reagan's first debate against Mondale was way worse - Binky - 12-Oct-2012 11:55 AM
        
        Mondale got a 9 point bounce out of that one. EOM - LM - 12-Oct-2012 12:00 PM
        That's the difference, however. The Dems needed to - Cassie - 12-Oct-2012 11:56 AM
        
        The reaction of the Democrats to this whole thing was downright bizarre. - AliciasAngel - 12-Oct-2012 12:22 PM
        
        It's been pretty shocking. I expected polls to tighten. They act like the race - LM - 12-Oct-2012 12:40 PM
        
        R$ has the polling lead, however...it's tacking back a bit today... - Cassie - 12-Oct-2012 12:41 PM
        
        Nationally he had it in August with RVs. EOM - LM - 12-Oct-2012 12:45 PM
        
        Did he? I seem to remember it tied at one point, maybe he was up - Cassie - 12-Oct-2012 12:48 PM
        
        Ras, Gallup and Reuters had Romney leading by 1-2 pts at times in Aug. EOM - LM - 12-Oct-2012 12:51 PM
        
        I know, but like I said, we didn't have the majority of polls showing - Cassie - 12-Oct-2012 1:04 PM
        
        I disagree. The national polls look very much now like August. - LM - 12-Oct-2012 1:14 PM
        
        Exactly. EOM - Cassie - 12-Oct-2012 12:39 PM
        
        And that affected poll numbers since enthusiasm was down. EOM - LM - 12-Oct-2012 12:01 PM
        
        I'm not sure I can ever forgive them, either. I've stopped watching them. EOM - Cassie - 12-Oct-2012 11:55 AM
        
        I tried a bit of MSNBC and CNN last night. EOM - LM - 12-Oct-2012 12:01 PM
        
        Tamra Hall on MSNBC was refreshing this morning. I do like her. EOM - Cassie - 12-Oct-2012 12:04 PM
        
        I do too. She can be Soledad like sometimes. - nishab - 12-Oct-2012 12:13 PM
