Rassmussen poll suggests Edwards was the real winner of Sunday's debate

Advertisements [?]

The corporate media, as usual, declared Clobama the winners of Sunday's debate. The corporate media particularly was swooning over Obama's performance. This is a daily tracking poll so take it with a grain of salt but this provides us with the first post-debate data. Surprisingly, a candidate ignored by the corporate media's debate coverage seems to be the one who benefited most from the debate.

Polls the day of the debate (8/19)

Clinton 43%
Obama 23%
Edwards 12%

8/20

Clinton 42%
Obama 22%
Edwards 14%

8/21 (after people saw the debates, the replays, read about it, etc.)

Clinton 41%
Obama 24%
Edwards 15%

Change

Edwards +3
Obama +1
Clinton -2
