Poll Results Suggest More Uncommitted Voters Saw Obama As Debate Winner

UPDATED WITH FINAL NUMBERS CBS News and Knowledge Networks conducted a nationally representative poll of approximately 500 uncommitted voters reacting to the debate in the minutes after it happened.

Thirty-nine percent of uncommitted voters who watched the debate tonight thought Barack Obama was the winner. Twenty-four percent thought John McCain won. Thirty-seven percent saw it as a draw.

Forty-six percent of uncommitted voters said their opinion of Obama got better tonight. Thirty-two percent said their opinion of McCain got better.

Sixty-six percent of uncommitted voters think Obama would make the right decisions about the economy. Forty-two percent think McCain would.

Forty-eight percent of these voters think Obama would make the right decisions about Iraq. Fifty-six percent think McCain would.

We will have a full report on the poll later on. Uncommitted voters are those who don't yet know who they will vote for, or who have chosen a candidate but may still change their minds.

The margin of sampling error could be plus or minus 4 percentage points for results based on the entire sample.

basichm - you should do more research - your points are show your ignorance about who barack is. Perhaps stop reading bias foxnews type of information and get more info then post something of value. Ignorance is not bliss.

Obama plays to the uncommitted masses because of his flash in the pan style, his swagger and braggadocio style, his wardrobing and makeup, and his phony superficial demeanor and rhetoric. It''''s easy to charm the pants off of those not lacking in the northern parts of the anatomy. Obama was obnoxious and rude in the way he kept calling McCain by his first name; it showed his lack of respect and upbringing. At least McCain was decent enough by correctly referring to Obama as Senator. Obama''''s smirking facial expressions also are a trademark of his inexperience and arrogance. His demeanor was inexcusable and offensive. Sad that so many identify with this type of juvenile behavior.


Swagger?? lol Didn''t you vote for Bush? Lets talk swagger....etc.
McCains demeanor? Oh good grief....he flicked his eyebrows enough to make me believe he had gnats swarming around them...rather chimp like......lol

We need change in the White House. However, we also need to do our due diligence. Devastating allegations are being weighed in a Philadelphia courthouse re: Obama''''s citizenship. Why won''''t Obama simply provide the court a certified vault copy of his birth certificate? Is Obama even eligible to be President? If the allegations are true, it will destroy our Democratic Party.

That''''s why McCain was so smug during the debate. But do the same for McCain. www.mccaincrimes.com and GOOGLE: MCCAIN LAWSUIT.

We need Senator Obama to vanquish these allegations by providing the American public proof that he is not part of an elaborate scam.

Show us a certified vault copy of your birth certificate, so that we may vote you into office without reservation.

--concerned democrat

Go to factcheck.org and see the original birth certificate for your self. Read the article. Hope this clears all this bs up. I also believe the McCain campaign would have used this issue against Obama if it were in fact true that Obama wasn''t born a USA citizen.

Enlightof all the horrendous results of the Conservative Agenda, if John McCain were to win this debate, or any debate on the better interests of the average American Working Class we all lose.

I found Obama to have came in last in the debate. With all his stutters and stammers.

How many times did he say McCain was right?

Mr Obama had a hard time getting himself and what he wanted to express across.

I am personally conservative. I am ashamed of the Republican party''s evolution into something other than conservative and veering away from showing even a modicum of honesty and integrity.
John McCain is a disgrace to the party (as are those in the current administration.) His campaign ads are full of outright lies and his dramatic theatrics are underhanded and insulting.
I have nothing against Sarah Palin but to put her on the ticket was a devious and well thought out marketing stunt. I was fooled by these tactics when GW Bush first ran. Not this time!

Barack Obama for President!
