From the 17th, Obama's poll numbers are starting to climb back up...

I won't mention the site, but it sort of sounds like huff and puff. But they had several graphs of poll numbers in several different states over the last few months. Most of them went up to the 11th or the 17th of this month. I think we will see much better numbers for the President in the next round of polls.

It was noticeable that the graph in almost every state showed Obama's line going back up after a significant decline. At the same time, the Romney line was flat or going back down.

If this means anything, I would think that Obama will be competing in some of the close states where Romney is now ahead and will increase his lead where he is now leading, such as WI, IA, OH, NV, and CO.

That is just my amateur interpretation of the graphs that I saw.

Your "amateur interpretation" makes more sense than most of the MSM nonsense. Don't sell yourself short.

I still love how none of these phony Rethug pollsters (except the one in Pennsylvania) have been drenching the atmosphere with polls this week, unlike the week after the first debate. Heh.
