The poll is an online poll commissioned by Reuters and conducted by Ipsos Public Affairs. It’s the same outfit doing the Reuters/Ipsos daily tracking poll. It’s using the same methodology but it’s separate from the daily tracker.
Romney clearly wins the debate; however, it's interesting to note President Obama makes a 4 point jump in favorability with Republicans....he also gains ground with Independents.
Romney's number moves 4 points to 42% - if the Election were held today who would you vote for.
Polls run a 5 day running average, so any results from the debate wont appear until the weekend. The first national poll to be released wont come out until Sunday.
Not related to his week's debate, but a friend of mine who is a right-leanng Republican told me that several of his fellow GOPers who had supported John McCain 4-years ago weren't going to vote for Romney this year. This was in response to my suggesting all of the McCain voters would be Romney voters and then Romney had to work on the so-called "undecided Independents" and some Democrats ... in order to reach the numbers he has to reach to win. He didn't say the McCain supporters would be voting Obama, but the comment dis surprise me. I sense a lot of distrust of Romney and suspect the GOPs going to experince a lot of its ranks sitting this one out. I think that's why Romney has asked Ralph Reed, the extremist on the far-right in the GOP to help motivate his ilk to turn-out on election day and in the pre-election day polling.

If only we had Izvestia and Pravda we could get some accurate news around here....ohh... but... wait....we have ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, PBS, New York Times, and the Washington Post...to give us accurate unbiased news...
If any Repub votes for Obama, that tells you right there that they are NOT a real Repub.
You've forced all the moderates out of the party--what do you expect? Keep it up and you'll be able to put the entire R party in a shoe box. I think you're seeing lots of life long moderate R's who are voting R in local races, but can't stomach the tea party or the evangelicals in the national races, so they're going independent there. It's an interesting dynamic.

That's pretty much the truth in a nutshell. The GOP has moved so far right of center, they've pretty much alienated alot of middle ground mainstrain republicans of the old beliefs, and have replaced it with with many who are anti-goverment tea party types.
Those middle of road people went to the left, fearing the GOP for what it now appears to be.
I like your shoe box analogy, it fits nicely with what's happening.
