Likely voters give the Democrat a slight nod on his debate performance and in his overall handling of the current financial crisis
Utica, New York – Likely voters nationwide who watched Friday’s debate in Mississippi between Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain gave Obama the win by the slightest of margins, a new Zogby Interactive survey shows.
The poll shows that 44% believed Obama won the debate, while 41% said McCain did. Another 16% said they watched the debate but were unsure who came out on top...

So basically 60% who watched the debate are too stupid to understand what they watched.
God save America.

I believe it was generally recognized that far more Dems than Pubbies saw the debate.

Zogby poll says Democrats prefer inexperience.

It was an online interactive poll. I got it in my e-mail late last night.
I just do it for fun and really wouldn’t put much stock in the results.

McCain could have scored huge points if he had reminded Obama that corporations DO NOT pay taxes. They pass them on to their customers as a cost of doing business.

Obama didn’t win squat, except maybe his mimicking capabilities.

The Drudge online poll with over 400,000 votes had McCain winning (67%).
After the election, we will know who was right...Zogby or Drudge.
To: lquist1
Read the fine print:
Just
78% of Democrats felt Obama won the debate, and just
80% of Republicans felt McCain won.
Independents, by a four-point margin, said Obama won the debate.
Undecided voters gave this to Obama. Remember the undecided voters at the Republican debates.

Unrelated to the focus of the poll, the way the percentages split on Drudge may also be an indicator that more conservatives than liberals visit his site.

Drudge might just be the most important medium in the media today.
His site has more influence than most TV Networks and is bi partisan.
When I saw that poll friday Night, I knew McCain won the debate.
To: lquist1
If you define “winning” by not wetting himself and surviving the debate without teleprompters, then I guess you could say Obama “won”.
And the quotes are the biggest Chris Farley air quotes you can imagine.
