CBS Poll: Uncommitted Voters Say Obama Won Final Debate
Posted by Brian Montopoli
As in the previous debates, CBS News and Knowledge Networks have
conducted a nationally representative poll of uncommitted voters to get
their immediate reaction to tonight's presidential debate.
In the first presidential debate
<http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2008/09/26/politics/horserace/entry4482028
.shtml> , second presidential debate
<http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2008/10/07/politics/horserace/entry4508356
.shtml> and vice presidential debate
<http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2008/10/02/politics/horserace/entry4497035
.shtml> , more uncommitted voters said the Democratic candidate was the
victor.
And it looks like tonight's results will make it a clean sweep. These
numbers are preliminary, and will change slightly as more respondents
are added, but here's where things stand with most of the results in:
Fifty-three percent of the uncommitted voters surveyed identified
Democratic nominee Barack Obama as the winner of tonight's debate.
Twenty-two percent said Republican rival John McCain won. Twenty-four
percent saw the debate as a draw.
More uncommitted voters trusted Obama than McCain to make the right
decisions about health care. Before the debate, 61 percent of
uncommitted voters said that they trust Obama on that; after, 69 percent
said that. For McCain, 27 percent trusted him to manage health care
before the debate; 30 percent said so afterwards.
63 percent think Obama will raise their taxes, while 48 percent think
McCain will.
Before the debate, 54 percent thought Obama shared their values. That
percentage rose to 63 percent after the debate. For McCain, 53 percent
thought he shared their values before the debate, and 56 percent thought
so afterwards.
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.
