Big Obama Debate Gains?

Nate Silver has a hunch:

[It] looks to me like the debate may have been a pretty significant help for Barack Obama.

The Zogby-Reuters
poll is already out. From reading Zogby's write-up, it sounds like
Obama must have had about a 9 point lead in Thursday's interviewing
and, oh, a 5-6 point lead in Wednesday's interviewing. This compared
with a 2-point lead over the Sunday-Tuesday window, before the debate
occurred.
