Oct. 24: In Polls, Romney’s Momentum Seems to Have Stopped

By NATE SILVER

Snip> Mr. Romney clearly gained ground in the polls in the week or two after the Denver debate, putting himself in a much stronger overall position in the race. However, it seems that he is no longer doing so.

Take Wednesday’s national tracking polls, for instance. (There are now eight of them published each day.) Mr. Romney gained ground in just one of the polls, an online poll conducted for Reuters by the polling organization Ipsos. He lost ground in five others, with President Obama improving his standing instead in those surveys. On average, Mr. Obama gained about one point between the eight polls.

Obama was very strong in last debate while Romney wimped out and practically endorsed Obama himself

It was, and the line above was the final nail in the GOP/FOX attempt to swift boat the president.

It was over after that, IMO.
