RASMUSSEN: R 50% O 46%... GALLUP: R 51% O 46%...

◼ Romney attracts support from 89% of Republican voters. The president earns the vote from 82% of Democrats. Among those not affiliated with either major party, the GOP challenger leads by nine. - Rasmussen ◼ 51%/46% Among likely voters - Gallup ◼ Debates deliver favorability edge to Romney; now above 50% in rating - Stephen Dinan/The Washington Times ◼ Why does each day matter? Because it's folding in results from voters who saw the second presidential debate -- the one Obama won -- while dropping the oldest results from before the debate last Thursday. Obama's victory isn't earning him the same swing in polls that Romney's victory in the first debate did for the Republican. At least, not in Gallup's findings. - The Atlantic Wire
