Am posting both polls now that Gallup seems to be more inline.

The aftereffect of the third debate can be expected to further widen this gap say by 8%.

Is that after the 3rd debate ?

So correct me if I'm wrong, but in the Rasmussen poll, Romney is gaining points, but in the Gallup poll, Romney has lost points from the last poll which had him 7 points ahead of Obama.

Honestly.. the gallup poll was just making no sense before.... I think it was a bit of a mirage to say Romney was ahead by 7 points... especially when Rasumussen had them even.
