Where are all the polls?

[ProSense]

After the first debate, there were polls being released around the clock.

1. Good question. nt

2. Oh, there won't be any more polls till after the election

3. Nate Silver said there were twenty polls that came in last night but he wasn't able to update

because he was appearing on the Daily Show.

Bad timing Jon Stewart!

8. Actually, they DID update...

...giving Obama a small uptick to 65.7%. I think what Nate meant was that he could only update the statistics, not his commentary.

Keep in mind that those twenty polls (except for half of one day in Ipsos) would all be taken pre-debate. The only poll we've seen to incorporate a full day of post-debate polling was the Rand tracker, which showed Obama's lead increasing to 5.7%.

10. Good info:

"The only poll we've seen to incorporate a full day of post-debate polling was the Rand tracker, which showed Obama's lead increasing to 5.7%."

There should be movement.

As noted earlier, a pre-debate Ohio poll from SurveyUSA showed Mitt losing 2 points, expanding the President's margin to 3 points.

4. Just a Warning

I know a lot of us are excited about what the President did in the last debate but please don't have huge expectations for the new round of polls coming out.

my prediction: little to no change and lots people here feeling let down.

we still control this thing, DONT LET THE MEDIA MANIPULATE OUR THOUGHTS AND EXCITEMENT FOR GETTING THE PRESIDENT RE-ELECTED. Dont fall into that trap.

7. I don't need a warning, and

"I know a lot of us are excited about what the President did in the last debate but please don't have huge expectations for the new round of polls coming out. my prediction: little to no change and lots people here feeling let down. "

...I don't buy that. I don't expect a huge shift, but the notion that there will be no change is absurd.

I mean, why wouldn't there be? If there was a huge change on "style," why wouldn't there be a huge change on style and subtance?

Mitt got beat the F down, humiliated and is being exposed for some serious lying. Including his stories on women.

Another Romney's myth. According to the BG, women's share among senior adm. officials declined

12. I'm inclined to agree with this.

I think there will be a small uptick for the President.

Most important, though, to keep in mind now is that every day that passes with the President in the lead, no matter the size, is a day that Romney has lost to catch up (especially in the swing states). Time is the President's friend and Romney's enemy.

14. In reality, the post 1st debate loss was +-3 points, and the bounce back will be about the same.

I think a lot of people reacted very irrationally to the debates. It's not the Superbowl or American Idol, but the opinion of a thick chunk of the population (who probably should not be voting because they're so low-information) treat the performance as if it determines who should win. That's what's showing up in the poll swings.

6. You know the answer. The Republican faux-pollsters can't pounce like they did.

9. It took two days before the swing after the first debate became apparent.

11. Obama still leads by 50 electoral votes.

And we retain control of the Senate, 52 to 48. This is according to RCP's No Toss Up average.

13. They are waiting for an outlier they an use. nt

[wisteria]

15. Good question.

I know it couldn't be possible that some of Romney's huge supporters are squashing the polls or the media playing games with the American public and not mentioning them.

[TwilightGardener]

16. Yes--should have BINDERS FULL of polls by now.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

17. LOL! nt

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

18. No polls unless it's bad news for us. It is so clear to me that the elites was a close race...

...and a Mitt Romney win.

We have to keep working.

I'm spending every weekend in VA. (I live in MD.) I was so thrilled to hear that a few of my friends from Richmond who are apolitical and out and working. That makes me so happy.
