the only poll i ve seen so far postdebate is a rasmussen poll which actually has governor romney up by one point which is within the margin of error. the race is tight in virginia, as you point out, according to polling. the vast majority of polls taken this year have shown president obama ahead, many of them within the margin of error. in mid to late september, several polls including one commissioned by fox, another by the washington post and one by nbc, showed president obama ahead and seeming to widen his margin a little bit outside the margin of error. however, as i noted, there is that rasmussen poll out today, and that is a robo dial poll, but it does show governor ahead by one point. rasmussen has been slightly divergent from some of the polling jenna: you really know your numbers, julian. they tell us only so much, as you mentioned. being on the ground there with the appearances by both governor romney and the president, they ve been to the state often, i mentioned the pre
that s the inherent bias. you look at an a.p. article that came out this morning. they talk about how with momentum on barack obama s. the rasmussen poll shows governor romney up, not barack obama. it talked about how mitt romney is looking to right his struggling campaign? how is it struggling? according to some polls he s winning. reports of infighting. there is one report in tonight cothat talks about infighting within the romney camp not long after a report came out talking about infighting within the obama cam. and talking about romney stumbling on his comments on the middle east. americans trying to be honest consumers of the news walk away thinking this is true and this is reality. maybe, maybe not. romney may have been the goat
the statement that was put out before there was an attack. so that even is factually wrong with the sequence, yet some right-wing pundits are backing romney up. listen to this. he should be very aggressive and adamant in his attacks on obama s record. they were testing us with the initial attacks and what do they get back from the obama administration? a complaint about about some this protectual film. you have obama apologizing for america. i was thankful that we had a leader that defended the united states of america and said that there will be consequences if you attack. well, this is the consistent i mean, they all conveniently leave out the statement that was made it was the calmest situation and there had been no attacks. so it wasn t apologizing for the attacks, wasn t responding

even want to hear anymore about the candidates, so could be something people are a little disappointed in both campaigns. the other thing, though, this does represent an opportunity and challenge from the obama campaign to sort of take that and run with it and have an opportunity here to really, you know, blow past that, but it is a challenge as well, because if they don t and we see the similar numbers, you re really looking at a pretty negative campaign. but under that assumption, if it is a tone or where people are, 2008, it wasn t as if we were all holding hand. we certainly saw a great divide in this country as well, and romney s speech comes far shorter in the numbers than mccain s 47%. yeah, it does, and i think that s something that the romney campaign is going to have to take a look at and wonder what they are going to have to be able to do. all that said, we still have a very tight race. there s a poll out here in north carolina with romney up 4 points. we ve seen our pol
