47% video first posted on Mother Jones at 3PM (WI time) Sept. 17th, which was the second day of PPP's polling. Their tweet compared today to their first night of polling.
FWIW on Sept. 17th Obama's RCP avg was +2.8% nationally and was coming down off his DNC high of +3.6 a week earlier.
I think you have to remember that there will be some lag between the release of some news and when it shows up in the polls. Not everyone is tuned into the Internet and cable.
Clearly (or at least I thought so) that was the point I was making. PPP's new polling shows Romney doing better than he was doing
before the 47% thing, which is pretty good for Romney.
