This Is So Predictable- Republican Pollsters And The Romney Bounce

The president had a poor debate*. Willard Romney got a bounce in the poll as a consequence. Most bounces are just that;bounces. Any pollster in the field, Democratic or Republican was bound to capture it in his/her poll. But what goes up must come down. However Republican leaning pollsters rushed into the field to capture this bounce in the polls and are now flooding the internet with them.



*I didn't think the president was that bad. But for my analysis it doesn't matter. He was perceived by a plurality or majority of Americans as having a bad debate.
