10/13 Poll Watch: No Movement

Only Two National polls were released today, The Gallup and Rasmussen tracking polls.  Both Polls held where they were yesterday Gallup Romney up 2, and Rasmussen Romney up 1.

UPDATE:  Two other polls were released the IBD Tracking Poll Obama +1 (No Change) and PPP released a Poll showing Obama +5 (Obama +1 9/30)  There was also a poll released for Arizona by the Behavior Research Center showing Obama +2 (No Change from 4/17).  There have been 6 polls in Arizona since the conventions, and Romney has been ahead in all 5 of the others.  If BRC is correct, we should start to see some other polls closer.  This could be a huge matter for Obama and Romney, if Arizona were to truly be a tossup state.

We may never get a clear gauge of any effect of the Vice President Debate with the next Presidential debate coming on Tuesday Night at Hofstra University.   Look at any treneds going through possibly Thursday to see the effect.

Fallout from the VP debate seems to be falling to both sides.  Democrats loved Biden's performance, and Republicans hated the smirks from the incumbent, but the real question is, what did the Independents and Undecideds do?

Biden's comments regarding the Benghazi Embassy Attacks is moving the entire story more prominently on the reporting by major media.   Most of this is centered on Biden's comment that "We didn't know that they requested more security."    The White House yesterday was trying to pin the "We" on Obama and Biden, but I find this disingenuous.  The State Department reports to the President and the buck needs to stop at the top.  Own up to it, that a mistake was made and moved on.  The danger for the President now, is that this story did not have a large presence in September, and now may come to the forefront in late October (see the Oct 22 debate).   This could be a major development in the last 3 weeks of the campaign, or it could go away and be dismissed.  Watch this story.

Bigger to me is the Iran issue.  What is the truth?  Is Iran 6 months away from having a Nuclear Weapon like Israel's Prime Minister suggested last month at the U.N.?  Or should we really calm down about Iran having Nuclear Capability but no "weapon" to put it in as the Vice-President said the other night?
