CBS Poll: Uncommitted Voters Say Obama Won (but they remain uncommitted)

CBS ^

[Chet 99]

Ultimately, few uncommitted voters' minds were made up as a result of this debate, according to the poll. Immediately after the debate, 15 percent of them said they are now committed to Obama, and 12 percent are now committed to McCain. But most - 72 percent - remain uncommitted.

Anyone else tired of the media pandering to these attention whores? Such drama queens.. make a pick already..

But when it came to the war in Iraq, which some voters asked about during the debate, McCain was the stronger candidate -- an advantage that has been consistent in CBS News Polls for many months. Before the debate, 55 percent of uncommitted voters said that McCain would make the right decisions about the war -- that rose to 61 percent after the debate. Less than half thought Obama would make the right decisions on Iraq.

It seems like a game changing foreign crisis would be helpful right about now. Israel? GO hit Iran...

Not worth the toilet paper used to wipe up the bunghole this article came from

Uncommitted voters should be committed.

[Texas4ever]

Uncommitted not because they wont vote for McCain, but because they do not trust Obama!!

we really need to push the secret life of Obama...and his connections to Kenyas Odinga!!!

Whooooo boy wait till they see this one on the news...

they will be voting, but like the rest of us it wont be for McCain....IT WILL BE AGAINST OBAMA!

This is a big... HUH?????

Obama won no votes.

So he lost.

He needed to increase his margin, and he failed.

It’s all about presentation. Obama looks more forceful than McCain and he is a smooth talker. He’s getting the percentage of the population that doesn’t care about answers or policy or experience...you know the kind. They are the ones who make their decision based on really important things, like how a person pronounces NUCLEAR.

Uncommitted voters are thick-headed ninnies. I'm sick of them and their stupid questions. What don't you know, and what are you going to do to learn it?

I want to hear from rough and tumble, sleeves rolled up, down in the mud partisans. That's how we'll get a serious and interesting debate.

Remember the uncommitted voters CBS had for Palin’s debate?
They were admittedly all leaning Obama BEFORE the debate..LOL

Can anyone find the elusive news paper, or poll from a MSM outlet that has declared the republican the winner of a debate?
Anyone?

I guess those are the folks that would have bought aluminum siding to put on a brick house from that guy.

During the primaries, the “townhall” audiences were packed with Democrat staffers and established political activists.

Anyone spot any politicos in the audience of “uncommitted voters”?

[antceecee]

I would love to see them busted at their unsavory game.

Who are these “uncommitted” “undecided” “swing” voters anyway?

Seriously. If a person doesn’t give a rip about politics, why would he/she agree to be part of a political debate-watching poll?

Are they paid for their time, because how else are they enticed into participating in a topic that obviously isn’t of great interest to them.

I have no opinion on whether one brand of tin foil is better than another. Because of that, I would not waste half a day preparing to attend an hour and half discussion about tin foil and another hour or two sitting around weighing the pros and cons of the tin foils.

And like someone else already said, I’m sick of these people who don’t care enough to form an opinion being paid so much attention. Will they even bother to vote at all, given their lack of convictions?

If it's a draw, then Obama wins. Since he's the better looking and more charismatic of the two, he just wins on appearances. Same thing with Palin and Biden. Since she was far more attractive and likable, she would have won the debate even if she hadn't done as well as she did.

Debates really aren't about arguing, they're just popularity contests. Whoever comes out looking cooler is usually the winner.

(A) I don’t have a tv now. I’ll probably get it fixed sooner than later to continue watching DVDs etc. but for now I watch them on a laptop.

(B) I listen to the debates on radio. Also makes it possible to FReep during a debate. Even home viewers who are doing something else other than staring at a tv have a virtual radio.

(C) people say that McCain “looks” angry. Only if you are watching the screen. Same with the bogus talk of Palin “winking” and “seducing” the audience. She wasn’t winking at me.

(D) Jimmy Carter was a nuclear scientist and he couldn’t pronounce the word. It is a common gaffe. Other commonly transposed or mispronounced words are jewelry (not jewlry) and caramel (not carmel).

The East German judges have now weighed in. Has a Republican EVER won one of these post-debate snap polls?

Anybody who does not know what they want before I get to the drive-up window is subject to getting whatever I order for them .
