Rasmussen weighs in
Today's tracking poll represents the first full polling period after the debate, and it doesn't appear that much has changed. Rasmussen's numbers have, in fact, been quite stable for many weeks. They never reflected a huge, soaring bounce after the GOP convention, and they don't currently paint the kind of disastrous plunge for the president that others do. There's lots of polling data out there, and much of it seems to be telling conflicting stories, so make of it what you will.
