He was right: Mr Obama had a good night. But the statement was also a tacit admission that at the previous debate, two weeks before, Mr Obama had seemed disengaged and unpersuasive. On that occasion, it was Mitt Romney who was on good form--so good that he erased his long-standing deficit in the polls. And unfortunately for the president, the self-possessed, reasonable and yet forceful version of Mr Romney who had shown up at their first encounter appeared again at their second, blunting the impact of Mr Obama's resuscitation. In the week after the first debate, Mr Romney rose from a 3.1 point deficit in the average of national polls compiled by RealClearPolitics, a website, to a 1.5% lead--his first this year. His numbers have since fallen back somewhat--RCP's average now shows a near tie--and were never quite as strong in polls of swing states. Nonetheless, Mr Romney has transformed the race into a dead heat. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
