we thought that McCain had a slight upper hand tonight (though we also said it wasn't a game changer, which is basically another way of saying that McCain didn't do what he had to). But the initial polls suggest that viewers give the nod to Obama in a big way. Here's the CNN poll, conducted among debate-watchers: Regardless of which candidate you happen to support, who do you think did the best job in the debate -- Barack Obama or John McCain? Obama 51% McCain 38% Did _______ do a better or worse job than you expected? Obama: Better 57%, Worse 20%, Same 23% McCain: Better 60%, Worse 20%, Same 18% Next, regardless of which presidential candidate you support, please tell me if you think Barack Obama or John McCain would better handle each of the following issues: • The war in Iraq: Obama 52%, McCain 47% • Terrorism: McCain 49%, Obama 45% • The economy: Obama 58%, McCain 37% • The current financial crisis: Obama 54%, McCain 36% Thinking about the following characteristics and qualities, please say whether you think each one better described Barack Obama or John McCain during tonight's debate: • Was more intelligent: Obama 55%, McCain 30% • Expressed his views more clearly: Obama 53%, McCain 36% • Spent more time attacking his opponent: McCain 60%, Obama 23% • Was more sincere and authentic: Obama 46%, McCain 38% • Seemed to be the stronger leader: Obama 49%, McCain 43% • Was more likeable: Obama 61%, McCain 26% • Was more in touch with the needs and problems of people like you: Obama 62%, McCain 32% Based on what _______ said and did in tonight's debate, do you think he would be able to handle the job of president if he is elected? Obama 69%-29% McCain 68%-30% And the numbers released so far from the CBS poll of undecided debate-watchers: 39% said Obama won, 25% said McCain won, and 36% said it was a draw. Forty-six percent said their opinions of Obama went up, compared to only 31% who said the same about McCain. On the economy, 66% said Obama would make the right decisions, compared to 44% who said the same for McCain.
