    • Justin M. Hall: This is a dramatic shift away from the President to Romney.

    • Justin M. Hall: Nationally, Romney and Obama remain tied and within the margin of error.

    • Justin M. Hall: This is a stark contrast to the 2008 Presidential Election. At this time in 2008, Obama was ahead of McCain 52% v. 46%.

    • Bildar: The Daily tracking poll has a very small sampling size, and large margin of error. Best to rely on poll averages.

    • Squaxe: I don't see a dramatic shift in the Rasmussen polls. Neither the national nor the swing state polls changed much.

    • Squaxe: Still, Romney won the 1st debate and it will surely help him in the short term, but impact on Election Day is too early to call.

    • joe kelly: I concede Obama will have to do a better job controlling the narrative the next two debates. The latest Obama ad exposing Romney's..

    • joe kelly: investing in the company that shipped jobs to China is better than any lie Romney told Wednesday. No matter how well Romney told them.
