Post Debate Polls

Polls give a win to Obama (see below). The focus on policies instead of rhetoric has both sides feeling their candidate won. Full credit goes to Jim Lehrer for the rich, substantive, candidate focused debate. Obama may have picked up a few voters, but the real pressure is on the moderator that has to follow Mr. Lehrer’s outstanding performance.
