Every evening I wait for the Rand Poll like a glass of warm milk before bed. And once again it does not disappoint. President Obama has picked up another 0.6% and now leads Romney 51.2-44.2%. This is now Obama's 3rd largest lead ever. The only two wider leads were on Sep. 26 (+8) and Sep. 25 (+7.3). I must admit it's a bit hard to believe with all the hand-wringing going on since that first debate but I'll take it. If there is such a thing as momentum, this looks like it. As always, the graph is not yet updated so click the 'data' link on their page to see for yourself.
I wish Nate Silver or someone would do an in-depth interview or analysis of this poll to evaluate how much credence we should put in it.
