Who Won The Debate? Clean Sweep For Obama

Focus group polls say, by and large, that Obama scored a
victory in the second debate.

NBC's focus group of undecided Pennsylvania voters had the
Illinois Democrat winning by roughly a 60-40 split. Frank Luntz's
focus group, over at Fox, showed undecided voters leaning towards
Obama because of his position on health care. CBS's focus group
of independents had the Democratic nominee winning the debate at
39 percent to McCain's 27 percent. Greenberg Quinlan Rosner, a
Democratic polling firm, had a focus group of undecideds leaning
to Obama by a margin of 42 percent to 24 percent.

SurveyUSA interviewed 741 debate watchers in the state of Washington,
54 percent thought Obama was the "clear winner" compared with McCain's
29 percent.

And the CNN focus group of undecided voters in Ohio had the margin
at an even wider spread: Obama 54 percent to McCain's 30.
