...the samples were mainly taken Thursday and Friday, at the height of his bounce.

Still, the last thing we needed was this following on Pew, as it guarantees the media narrative will be "Romney has taken the lead!!!" for at least the next few days, eclipsing Obama's seeming recovery in the trackers.

1. Ahem?

PPP tweeted Obama doing better than a month ago in Saturday/Sunday polling in Wisconsin:

And a month ago Obama was +7.

And the PPP poll from Thursday Friday is *already* out:

Obama +2. So where did they get this "Romney will be ahead" stuff?

4. It's a national poll.

5. the OP never posts any links supporting what he's saying. nt

[regnaD kciN]

8. That's bullshit...

...but right now, as in most other recent times I've posted, I'm doing it from a smartphone, and cutting and pasting links is damn near impossible in this mobile app.

If you want to check it out, look at dKos for a post titled something like "Romney's real (but ebbing) debate bounce."

10. ...

You admit that (1) you usually post from smartphones and (2) you can't post links from your smartphone.

So it's correct that you don't post links supporting your posts.

11. Stop being a jackass...

I said it's hard to post links from my smartphone. If you look back, you'll see that I practically always provide a link (even if not really needed) when posting on computer. That's a far cry from your suggesting that I'm some sort of a troll because I "never" post links.

12. Maybe you should invest in an iphone? nt

[regnaD kciN]

15. That's what I have...

If you know any easy ways to copy links is Safari, please let me know how -- when I try, all I manage to do is erase the URL in the address bar.

[woolldog]

17. you scroll to the address bar

....then tap on it.....then tap on it again....and then the "select all" option should appear

Click "select all".....then click copy

[regnaD kciN]

19. I tried that...

...and, although it took me about five tries to even get the select bar.

But...when I finally did so, and went back and posted the link in the OP, although it shows up in "raw form" in the edit box, when I actually post it, it doesn't show up in Safari. ???

2. That's ok. Let Mitt do his "end zone dance"

He'll (figuratively) trip and (figuratively) break a leg.

3. not to mention overshadow the jobs numbers

[BlueStreak]

6. It isn't a bad thing for the jobs numbers to be overshadowed

and likewise for the improved deficit outlook. In both cases, the situation is still fundamentally negative, but just less so. And in both cases, it tests to deflate one of Romney's favorite attack angles, so just having it go away is a good thing.

But to get value from that, Obama needs to be attacking Romney. I keep waiting and I'm not seeing it. Where is the hard-hitting stuff? If Obama is expecting the media to do his job for him, it ain't happening.

7. National polls

So it's a statistical dead heat in a national poll. Big whoop. Anyone who really thought the national popular vote was going to be anything other than close is fooling themselves.

If the electoral map flips for Romney THEN be worried.

Once the job numbers are touted for a week or so, then we shall see.

13. State polls lag national polls

We are just getting national polls that are not tracking polls from the post-debate period. State polls will probably not be out until mid or late week from the post-debate period.

[woolldog]

14. do you have any evidence of that?

[hrmjustin]

9. not good news at all.

[RBInMaine]

16. Today's Gallup Tracking has Obama up 5.

[DFW]

18. One of the Democrats' main pollsters told me this would happen at some point.

He said we should not tear out hair out, even though he would.

He also said it would pass. So, let it pass, and get back to work, making phone calls and knocking on doors!
