2 to 3 points? Nate Silver predicted it, if it stays that way.

IMHO, it stepped all over any momentum Robme was getting from the debates.

It's good because it shows the bounce has subsided . It's not so good because Robme is bound to overperform with likely voters.

But one has to take into account that Gallup's RV numbers have been a bit less favorable to the president than some other pollster's RV models.
