At the end of the day, almost all of them said the economy was more important than foreign policy, and a majority said Mitt won the debate on economic issues. Advantage Mitt.

Which means they don’t care about the consulate attack or Iran’s nukes or that the Middle East is falling apart. Advantage obama.

Exactly right. They said overwhelmingly that the economy was THE most important factor in this election, and overwhelmingly said Romney was best on the economy. I think that's the sense of the electorate in general this year, and that bodes well for a blowout and White House clean sweep.

Let's hope that also carries over to the House and Senate big-time (and let's work to make it so).

Yup, that’s what I saw too. Mostly they believed that Obama won the foreign policy (read military) part of the debate but Romney won economic issues. The majority said that economic issues were much more important at this time. One more note, 90% of them voted for Obama last time which just means that those are all mostly voters Obama isn’t re-convincing which is ultimately good.

Basically, this!

It’s hard for a challenger to “win” a debate on foreign policy against an incumbent even if there is an unpopular mission going on...people naturally wanna side with the troops and military and therefore the president.
