"While Mitt Romney clearly did some damage in the debate, a raft of swing state polls from major news outlets Thursday indicate President Obama may have put a floor on his drop.
Nervous Democrats told TPM earlier in the week that they were eagerly anticipating state results from the major national pollsters before deciding whether Romney had taken the lead in the race outright suggesting a full-fledged freakout on the left could start as early as today.
While theres been an array of state and national numbers over the last few days, two sets of polls from NBC/WSJ/Marist and CBS/NYT/Quinnipiac represent some of the first results from top outlets that polling analysts tend to lend the most credibility. And the numbers, while improved for Romney, still show Obama with an advantage in key states.
Most important: Ohio, a likely must-win for Romney where Obama has held a solid lead in recent weeks. NBC/WSJ pegs the race at 51-45 for Obama, a 2-point bounce for Romney since their last poll with the presidents own support remaining steady. Its the second post-debate poll of Ohio from a major news organization to show Obama breaking the 50 percent barrier CNN put him up 51-47."

Personally I do think the Christopher Walken approach is much better than a freak out. And besides I just don't have the energy for a lot of drama about polls. Romney was expected to get a bit of a bounce. "I don't care." if he did. We will pull this thing through to a victory. And, yes, that does make sense.
About 1:45 minutes into the trailer. I like his attitude. And I'm looking forward to seeing the movie. 7 Psychopaths.

(9,656 posts)But I still like the Christpher Walken attitude. "I don't care." to me is a good attitude when confronted with all the sturm and drang manufactured by the goppers and the "punditry".
