Who Won The Last Debate? Obama Dominates By Largest Margins Yet

If the instant post-debate polling provides any indication, John McCain didn't just fail to get the game-changer he needed, he was trounced in this third and final debate,

The results over at CBS show Obama to have scored the biggest victory to date: "Fifty-three percent of the uncommitted voters surveyed identified Democratic nominee Barack Obama as the winner of tonight's debate. Only twenty-two percent said Republican rival John McCain won. Twenty-four percent saw the debate as a draw."

CBS writes it was, "a clean sweep" for Obama.

Over at CNN, a separate poll of several hundred debate watchers again favored the Democrat by large margins: 58 percent for Obama to McCain's 31 percent. Perhaps more importantly, McCain's favorable rating dropped 51 to 49 while his unfavorable rating increased from 45 percent to 49 percent.

Meanwhile, virtually the entire focus group on Fox News, which was staged tonight in Miami, said that Barack Obama won the debate. Luntz termed it a "clear majority," not one person raised their hand when asked if they thought McCain won.
