"I just saw Bill Schneider (sp?) on CNN with interesting Gallup results. They showed that most respondents thought Kerry won, but Bush still held a clear advantage on being a decisive leader and on who will do a better job on Iraq. It suggests that even if people thought Kerry won the debate, that does not translate into them thinking Kerry will do a better job in foreign policy."
It would be interesting to see what a poll would say about this debate one week from today?
Yes.
I remember reading a story about teh "perception" of who won a debate. The gist is that that perception is open to dramatic changing.
