Obama's approval rating has soared to its highest point in three years. He has a 54% approval rating which put him well above the safe 50% threshold for an incumbent re-election. Despite Romney's decent performance at last night's debate, it will do very little to change this trend.
George W. Bush's approval rating at this point in 2004 was only at 50 percent and Bush got re-elected.
I'll say this--I don't think Obama's performance did anything last night to bring down his approval ratings, which may have been the strategy all along by his campaign. People think the President is a nice guy--taking on Romney directly and being super aggressive has hurt him in the past, so it looks like they avoided that strategy. If Romney DOES get a bump, they may have to rethink that, but I didn't see anything happen that was a major game changer last night. Romney made his base happy because for the first time all year he wasn't a bumbling fool. He did well, and because he exceeded expectations, it was a win for him, but that may not translate to a win in the polls.
Oh so you are not saying romney will get votes from the debate and that he will still lose? Which is it?
I'm saying the facts, that results from polls dont get impacted for several days after activities like debates. Is it really that difficult for Democrats to understand truth?
I cant speak for millions of americans, so I dont know how much the debate affected peoples decision on who to vote for, and todays polls dont indicate that either. Why do you pretend things are true that arent, and somehow project your feeling on everyone else, as if everyone thinks like you do?

A bit early to look at polls yet. The debate has not been included and Romney will likely get a short term bump, for being the aggressor. But, the fundamental difference between Obama and Romney remains the same and the majority of Americans see it and Romney for what he really is.

You are one to talk. I guess this thread of more great Obama news got you angry after coming down from last nights little victory lap huh?
This should shut up the Media knuckleheads out there who are shilling fro Romney claiming he "won" the debate.
Pre debate polling. We'll start seeing some impact of the debate tomorrow in the Rasmussen tracking poll. It'll take a few days for the impact in Gallup.
Obama's favorability ratings remained unchanged, as 56 percent said they viewed him favorably and 44 percent said they viewed him unfavorably. His standing improved among independents by 8 percentage points.
Romney appears to have made his greatest strides among his fellow Republicans - a development that could help his fundraising and get-out-the vote efforts in the final weeks of the campaign.
Forty-six percent of Republicans said their opinion of Romney was "very favorable" after the debate, a gain of 10 percentage points.
