Its as if the debates never happened
That's because of their flawed polling method. They recontacted people who had been likely voters in their September polls to do these October polls. In doing so, they missed the increase in likely voters, which was largely among Romney voters, caused by the first debate.
Other than letting us know what was responsible for Romney's poll improvement, conversion of unlikely voters into likely voters rather than changing of people's opinions of the two candidates, these polls were essentially worthless.
