he's leading by 11, 8, and 30 points. That's a wash? lol!
Yep, it's a wash!
One, it's on foreign policy, a distance second or third to the economy, in terms of the basis of this election.
Two, based on the very same tweets you references, this debate has 38% of voters more likely to pick Romney, 37% less likely, and 30% no difference. And on foreign policy the same PPP poll has them trusting Romney 47%. When you're a sitting president, this late in the game and the challenger is that close, that is PATHETIC.
Third, snap polls tend to tighten up within 24 hours. Take the VP debate. One snap poll had Ryan up by 4 or 5. A day later, it was tied.
Four, with Obama having to play catch-up and having NO BOUNCE from his "win" in debate two, at best Obama can break even. But again, foreign policy isn't priority one; however, the more data we get about Benghazi, the more it HURTS OBAMA (not Romney).
But don't take my word for it.
Economy Is Dominant Issue for Americans as Election NearsPRINCETON, NJ -- The "economy in general" ranks No. 1 on Gallup's Most Important Problem list in October, with 37% of Americans saying it is the top issue facing the country. This is up from 29% in September and exceeds unemployment, in second place at 26%. Mentions of unemployment are down this month from 32% in September, likely reflecting the recent decline in the government's jobless rate to 7.8%. Democrats, independents, and Republicans all became more likely to name the economy as the nation's top problem in October; however, the increase was sharpest among Republicans, rising 14 percentage points, from 30% to 44%. That contrasts with a five-point increase among independents (from 32% to 37%) and a seven-point increase among Democrats (from 26% to 33%).
The federal budget deficit currently ranks third on Gallup's Most Important Problem list, at 12%, followed by dissatisfaction with government at 9%, healthcare at 7%, and "lack of money" at 5%. No other issue is named by as much as 5% of Americans.http://www.gallup.com/poll/158267/economy-dominant-issue-americans-election-nears.aspxBTW, on this list of items, foreign policy is less than 10%, when you combine "War in Afghanistan/Iraq" (3%), "Foreign Aid/Focus Overseas" (4%), and "National Security" (2%).
