CBS Releases Initial Poll on Debate


CBS has teamed up with Knowledge Networks to create highly accurate polls as to how the debate plays out with Uncommitted voters. And, surprisingly, Obama was viewed as the victor! Here are the results from the initial poll:

39% of uncommitted voters who watched the debate tonight thought Barack Obama was the winner. 24% thought John McCain won. 37% percent saw it as a draw.

46% of uncommitted voters said their opinion of Obama got better tonight. 32% said their opinion of McCain got better.

66% of uncommitted voters think Obama would make the right decisions about the economy. 42% think McCain would.

48% percent of these voters think Obama would make the right decisions about Iraq. 56% percent think McCain would.


These results actually surprise me somewhat because I thought the way Obama attacked McCain on Iraq was extremely effective. The way he laid out every way that McCain was initially wrong on Iraq was very strong. But apparently it was the economy that played in Obama's favor.
