Was it really a bounce? Or just two pollsters who were proven to be extremely wrong in the cycle - Rasmussen and Gallup - having some extreme volatility in their tracking polls?

If there was a bounce, what explains those voters going from Romney to Obama at the end? Or was the "bounce" just the case of some soft independents (read: Republicans) supporting Romney after previous declaring themselves undecided?

I am wondering if this 1st debate "bounce" was just a media narrative to make this a horse race. Convince me otherwise.
