#2 Polls are nice for looking at but I doubt many people moved one way or another based on that debate. Fact is there are fewer people to move either way. Check out the electorial map and you see that the trend right now still put Bush in the White House (again).

#3 Interesting link, Sarge; but there are too many states in the "Barely Bush" and "Weak Bush" categories to give me much comfort.

These are, indeed, trying times.

#4 The Voter Registration deadline was yesterday for most states which require application by 30 days prior to election day. The pool is closed. Please add more chlorine. Alot more.

#5 These are Friday through Sunday polls. I don't think they mean much.

#6 We have all known the election would be close. The Convention gave W a nice bounce and made everyone feel comfy. It is a battle for the Whitehouse. It soesn't matter if W isn't eloquent to me. It does matter to me what Kerry did in 1971.

#7 funny that when Gallup had Bush up by 8 points, the Dems were all aflutter claiming their poling technique was anitquated or faulty.

Now, however, they trumpet the tie.

#8 It is 12:10PM EDT. At this minute, no Rasmussen update. Over the weekend no change due to debate.

They must be scrambling about something...

#9 Rasmussen Three Days polling before debate:
9/28-9/30
48.7%-45.3% Bush +3.4%

Three Days after Debate:
10/1-10/3
48.6%-46.1% Bush +2.5%

Unlike Gallup, these numbers say Kerry took from "other" or "undecided".

#10 Dave, I have been tracking the electorial college count and it looks pretty steady for Bush. Since the begining of September he's had a 50+ Electorial count lead and over the 270 needed to claim the White House. The reason I like this site is that he uses a lot of local polling agencies which gives you a better state-by-state representation.

#11 Regardless, this has been one hell of a wake-up call for Bush. Perhaps literally. Better that it happened now than Nov 1.

#12 wake-up call?

No. A jiggered poll. Go here to see how.
