Polls coming in after 3rd debate: Romney drawing farther ahead

[Little-Acorn]

As polls start to come in after the 3rd (and last) Presidential debate, more and more of them show Mitt Romney ahead by up to 5%. The RealClearPolitics average of polls show Romney with a 1.0% lead, the biggest lead he's had this year. He is also gaining in states such as Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, while being distinctly ahead in Florida and other swing states.

And keep in mind that many of these polls are the ones that still sample far more Democrats than Republicans, though it looks likely that more Republicans will vote on Nov. 6, 2012 than Democrats, just as they did in Nov. 2010. The leads aren't huge (yet ), but they mean that if the election were held today and people voted as they responded to the polls, Romney would win.

Note for those who insist Obama won the 2nd or 3rd debates: He didn't gain any votes after any of them, and in fact continues to lose votes. What other kind of "winning" matters?

Maybe next election, Demmies.

the debates really did show Obama in a proper light. if McCain hadn't chosen to roll over we would not have seen this bozo harm the country so.

More importantly, the debates showed Romney in the proper light.

Once people found he wasn't the uncaring, indifferent, fire-breathing ogre Obama had painted him as, millions flocked to him. Obama fell behind, and has never recovered.

Maybe next election, Demmies.

it showed that Mitt would say anything and change all his views to look moderate for a idiot nation who did not pay attention...of course none of that matters as Obama still leads Electoral College...PS the Polls are Bias! They are not Real! They are Fake polls by a Right wing Media! (funny how important polls are to you guys when all of the sudden a few show you winning. )

Romney's RCP average dropped to 0.9% over the weekend, now it's back up to 1.0%.

And much of it is from polls that habitually ask far more Democrats than Republicans... and Romney is still ahead.

This despite the fact that in 2010, after the American people found out what Obama is really like, more Republicans than Democrats voted, and kicked out Democrats and elected new Republicans in record numbers.

Anybody think it's not going to happen again in 2012?
