More from Ipsos/Reuters poll: Obama still more liked than Romney despite poor debate
Obama still more liked than Romney despite poor debate
By Patricia Zengerle
<...>
Forty-seven percent of registered voters deemed Obama "a good person," compared with 31 percent who felt that way about Romney. In a similar survey on September 28, Obama led by 43 percent to Romney's 32 percent.
Obama held his ground on a range of such questions. Far more voters (53 to 29 percent) deemed Obama likeable than feel the same way about Romney. He also leads by a healthy margin (43 to 37 percent) on who has the right values to be president.
In addition, 43 percent felt Obama "understands people like me," compared with 31 percent who felt that way about Romney, the former Massachusetts governor and wealthy businessman who has struggled to connect with average Americans.
'GIVING ROMNEY A BOOST'
"There's still a ways to go to close the gap between him and Obama on some of these important attributes," Clark said. "This suggests to me that while the debate was effective in energizing the Republican base and giving Romney a boost, it didn't fundamentally change perceptions of either man a great deal."
