Michigan Poll: Romney 48% Obama 46% [View all]
Oh god, what the hell is going on!? How can people be falling for Romney? Romney of all people?! Jesus Christ this is a disaster!
Ok, I made that up. No such poll exists. But I do wonder if I gave anyone a panic attack. Honestly I don't know what is up with this place today. Why has all of the poll anxiety returned? All I see is one completely ridiculous Gallup poll that is so laughable that it probably doesn't even deserve mentioning, and a bunch of other polls that show Obama slightly ahead or the race tied. In the past week, we have gone from polls showing Romney up by 2-3 points, to Obama by 1-3 points. Why are we still freaking out? My god, the debate was less than 2 days ago, the one that all reputable sources (i.e. not CNN) showed was a pretty big Obama win and one where Romney fucked up horribly at points. That is 1 day of post debate polling that we have seen so far. What did we expect? To wake up yesterday morning and find Obama ahead by 15 points? These things take time to sink in. It took nearly a week for Romney's bounce to really show up in the polls. It took a few days for Biden's performance to have any impact. We are moving in the right direction. Despite what Fox and Wolf Blitzer will tell you, things are shifting back to Obama. However, it will take time for the dust to settle. Don't expect polling results that violate the space-time continuum to show up because Romney said he has binders full of women.
Give it a few days and chill the fuck out. The constant meltdowns over every poll that comes out is getting tiresome.
