In the first polls that include data taken after the Oct. 16 Presidential evening debate, Romney has pulled farther ahead than before the data was collected.
Yesterday (before latest data was included) Romney was ahead by 1% in the Rasmussen six-day rolling poll, and ahead by 5% in Gallup's 3-day rolling average.
Today, after data taken Oct. 17 was included, Romney is now ahead by 2% in Rasmussen and 7% ahead in Gallup.
The trend continues. :D
Pundits are also pointing out an interesting statistic:
Never in the history of the Gallup poll, has a candidate who was ahead by 7% or more at this point in the campaign season, lost the election.
