(3,072 posts)I think we will see a slow drift towards Obama over the next few days. I also see that our poll worriers are back in full force because a gallup poll has Romney up by 7. First, what I would suggest is to ignore that. Second, give the polls some time to shift. There has been 1 day of post-debate polling that we could possibly see so far. It took Romney close to a week before his bounce showed up. Maybe we should be more patient.
