Mr. Obama had already been rebounding in the polls, slowly but steadily, from his lows in early October — in contrast to a common narrative in the news media that contended, without much evidence, that Mr. Romney still had the momentum in the race.

Moreover, there are any number of alternatives to explain Mr. Obama’s gains before and after the storm hit.

Joe and the rest of the republicans have been spinning like tops, cherry picking polls that showed romney
had a lead or it was tied. they need to be called out big time on wednesday! and i'm not talking about
gloating or rubbing it in their faces, i'm talking about DEMANDING and apology for insinuating that Nate
was spinning, when all along it was Joe and the republicans who were spinning.. and Joe KNOWS IT.
