As Predicted The Jobs Report Killed Robme's Momentum From The Debate

That jobs report saved the president's and our bacon. It stepped all over the "poor" debate story.

Most of the polling was in the 2-3 days immediately after the debate, before the job and deficit news hit. They only polled 15% on Sunday (confirmed by Nate Silver) which was when the other daily tracking polls showed the flattening and drop. Nate Silver discounts the skew, but I can't help but think that the heavy southern tilt and large number of seniors impacted it as well.

So I think of Pew as an outlier that the media grabbed onto to push their horse race advertising.
