Any Obama supporter that isn't the slightest bit concerned about the fluctuation in polls is probably suffering from a bit of denial. Now, being able to look at it rationally and taking into consideration the follow up debates, it is ridiculous to speculate that Romney's gain in the polls translates to a win...but this isnt necessarily a bad thing for the election. Keeps the candidates on their toes. Forces them to choose their words wisely.

If Romney commits himself to being a centrist and wins the election on that, he better stick to it if he doesnt want a one term presidency.

There has been no real fluctuations in the poll. The polls have actually been remarkably consistent showing Obama in the lead for a long time. The debate caused a little bump on the flow chart but things are already rebounding back to where they were before the debate as people get back to reality and realize that Mitt Romney is still a phony they can't trust.

Default Romney takes lead in RCP poll averages

Even Obama fans and Romney Haters have to admit shock and awe at the turnaround. Ya'll were declaring the election over a couple weeks back with the media (aka Dem Propaganda Machine) and book cooked polls for backup.

Romney is polling at 0.7% above Obama. First time in the election cycle. If that isnt cause for some concern on the Democratic side, it should be.

Just look at the link. Romney has taken the lead in 11 battleground states including Ohio, Florida, NC. Virginia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Colo, Nevada among others and is pushing for the lead in Pennsylvania.

Many of the polls about 4-6 weeks ago were often polling 10-25 points more Dem than Rep so they're not legit. Any poll that doesn't poll between even and 7 points more Dems (What has been the spread over the last 4 elections) isn't legit and is just a bias poll.

The top two in the RCP chart are the two top performing polls in the 2008 presidential election. What is that sound I hear? Liberals shaking in their boots.

Come on give the posters a break, how else is the OP and other libs going to get their daily politicorgasm if for not mudslinging. It's obvious the current administration can't get the job done and you know they need something to give them the Lewinsky type action on a daily basis.
