Obama won the debate, 46%-34% (Gallup)
Edited on Sun Sep-28-08 10:00 AM by bluecatz
September 27, 2008

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.

2. Obama's lead is increasing to 8 points in todays's Gallup Poll
A Gallup spokesman divulged this on C-SPAN this morning. Yesterday's margin was +5%. He didn't cite the actual figures which will be posted in a few hours, but did confirm that 2/3 of the recent 3-day polling data comprising the poll is pre-debate. That would be encouraging, since a "clean" 3-day set of post-debate polling data would tend to open up an even larger lead. The fact that nearly half of undecided voters came way from the first debate with a better impression of Obama is huge, and this is starting to play out in the poll numbers.
