Mitt Romney has pulled ahead of President Barack Obama in another national poll. This time, he leads Obama by a razor-thin 45-44 mark in the Reuters/Ipsos daily tracking poll, gaining a point from Tuesday's result.
The poll — which consists entirely of post-debate interviews — is a 6-point shift from the last Reuters/Ipsos poll before the debate, when Obama led Romney 46-41. 
The key movement for Romney in the Reuters poll has come in shoring up his advantage on the economy and federal debt. Romney now has a lead on which candidate would best handle the economy and "jobs and employment" after being tied or trailing in those issues pre-debate.
Most drastic, though, was the shift on which candidate would best handle the federal budget deficit. Of the respondents, 39 percent chose Romney, while only 27 percent said Obama. That's a 12-point swing from pre-debate, when the candidates were tied at 33 percent.
Positive signs for Obama: He still holds the advantage on health care, Medicare and taxes, albeit by slim margins on each.
Romney and Obama were tied at 48-48 in Wednesday's Gallup poll. The Reuters result matches the current Real Clear Politics average, which puts Romney up by a point.
