VP Debate Pushed Undecided Voters to Obama

An Ipsos/McClatchy poll found that Gov. Sarah Palin's performance in last week's vice presidential debate actually hurt her running mate, Sen. John McCain, among undecided voters.

Before the debate, undecided voters were leaning 56% to 44% for McCain. The day after the debate, the numbers tilted 52% to 48% for Sen. Barack Obama.

Said pollster Clifford Young: "It's suggesting an overall tendency of undecideds toward Obama, so it is significant. We're catching an underlying trend that's going on."

The poll also found that Sen. Joe Biden won the debate, 54% to 46%.

2. Joe wins 56% to 44%....wow.

That's just too narrow of a gap for people to have seriously considered everything she said. She should be in the 10% range as far as I'm concerned.

4. Of course!

You have to think that undecided voters are undecided because they're actually thinking about things. Biden's debate gave food for thought, while Palin's was platitude. Biden showed concern for the American people; Palin scrambled with her index cards for answers and found none.
