Carly Fiorina has owned the post-debate hype, but another candidate has also gained significantly since the Reagan Library dust-up:  Marco Rubio.

Rubio was lagging in the polls taken in the weeks leading up the the debate.  In five national polls released between August 30 and September 17, Rubio averaged a mere 5.6 percent, placing him in 5th.  In the six polls taken and released after the debate, Rubio has averaged 9.4 percent, moving him up to 4th.

We see the same post-debate movement in state polls, too.  He averaged a mere 2.75 percent in four pre-debate New Hampshire polls, placing him in a tie for 8th place.  But he shot up to 9 percent in the recent CNN/WMUR poll, good enough for third place.  He’s moved from 5 percent and 6th place in Iowa to 8 percent and 4th place; from 7 percent and 5th place in his native Florida to 15 percent and a tie for fourth.  He’s also running 4th in Georgia and North Carolina, and 3d in Wisconsin following Governor Walker’s departure.
