Re: a thread to discuss the 9/26 debate
Here's a detailed CBS poll showing numbers pre- and post- debate among undecideds. Some areas of improvement that Senator Obama made with the group are astonishing just after the first debate.

Per CBS:
Nearly half of those uncommitted voters who watched the debate said that their image of Obama changed for the better as a result. Just 8% say their opinion of Obama got worse, and 46% reported no change in their opinions.

(Among uncommitted voters who watched debate)


McCain saw less improvement in his image. 32% have improved their image of McCain as a result of the debate, but 21% said their views of him are now worse than before.
