USA TODAY/Gallup Poll: Obama did better job than McDildo in first debate

A new USA TODAY/Gallup Poll shows 46% of people who watched Friday night's presidential debate say Democrat Barack Obama did a better job than Republican John McCain; 34% said McCain did better.

Obama scored even better -- 52%-35% -- when debate-watchers were asked which candidate offered the best proposals for change to solve the country’s problems.

More than six in 10 people or 63% in the one-day poll, taken Saturday, said they watched the first faceoff in Oxford, Miss. For those 701 people, the margin of error was +/- 4 percentage points.

The poll suggested the debate was to some extent a wash for McCain: 21% of those who watched say it gave them a more favorable view of him, 21% say less favorable and 56% say it didn't change their opinion much.

Three in 10 said their opinion of Obama became more favorable after seeing the debate, compared to 14% who said less favorable and 54% who said it didn't make much difference.

saying that more Democrats than Republicans watched it. Could it be because more people won't call themselves republican anymore. God,I hate these simpletons.

That only means there are more Democrats and they will be a larger share of the electorate.

Shrub took care of that, people are jumping off a sinking ship (Republican) and jumping to a life preserver (Democrats).

that might translate into more Dems than Reps turning out to vote. That's what we want!

"More Democrats than Republicans voted"

:woohoo:
