Newest Results from Latinos Post Online Polls: A Romney Rally?

We have two new presidential election polls** to add to our roundup of our reader surveys.

First, additional votes on the Oct. 22 poll saw a 4-point swing in Romney's favor, though Obama still leads by a healthy margin, 59 percent to 37 percent.

Next, yesterday's poll showed another slight Romney rally, with President Obama dropping to 56 percent support and Republican challenger Mitt Romney rising to 41 percent.

Finally, the results so far from today's poll results show an Obama bounce to 60 percent, with Romney at 37 percent.

Here's all the data so far:

Oct. 10: Obama 54, Romney 43

Oct. 12: Romney 54, Obama 43

Oct. 13: Romney 50, Obama 47

Oct. 17: Obama 49, Romney 48

Oct. 18: Obama 60, Romney 38

Oct. 18(b): Obama 67, Romney 31

Oct. 22: Obama 59, Romney 37

Oct. 23: Obama 56, Romney 41

Oct. 24: Obama 60, Romney 37

Arranged by candidate over time:

Obama: 54, 43, 47, 49, 60, 67, 59, 56, 60

Romney: 43, 54, 50, 48, 38, 31, 37, 41, 37

So the trend toward Obama hiccupped a bit earlier this week. While Obama is still far ahead of Romney in all our recent polls, his support fell in our update of Monday's poll and continued to drop on Tuesday, before rising again to pre-Monday levels today.

That's an interesting result, since Monday was the final presidential debate. Since most pundits, news organization and polls found viewers favored Obama's performance over Romney's, it's a bit counterintuitive that Obama would dip in our polls at the same time.

Remember that our polls are not scientific. Rally enough friends or like-minded contacts on Facebook to vote en masse, and there will likely be a measured impact on the result, unless the other side is doing the same thing.

By looking at the number of respondents and their votes, we can guess at intensity of a candidate's support.

With Romney polling worse than the president among debate viewers, my guess is that Romney supporters were energized by the bad news, either through anger or determination, and voted in larger numbers in our polls.

The news cycle spin around the debate on Monday has died down a bit, so we're seeing the poll results return to what appear to be their current baseline for our readership.

Check in soon for more poll results, as well as updates to the polls presented today.

**All online presidential polls conducted by the Latinos Post are unscientific but they do not allow repeat votes.
