Ok, does that mean that the success he had is going away? Or, does it mean the success he has is taking off and he is gaining in the polls?

PPP is 3 days averaged.

So Romney had a decent lead on Tues. Obama led Wed and Thu.

When Friday results come in, Tuesdays results get dropped. That means Obama's standing will improve in the poll.

They are delusional. What part was "good"? And what does rolling off mean? Could be good, or could be bad. They sound like Rmoney. None of us really knows what they are saying exactly.

does not refer to his debate performance. It refers to the polling data that was accumulated on Tuesday.
