First presidential debate (University of Mississippi)



Analysis: Clinton seemed more comfortable on this topic than McCain, and it showed. Polling shows that voters have more confidence in Clinton than McCain when it comes to the economy. McCain, though, warmed up as the discussion turned to his turf: foreign policy. When it comes to terrorism and Iraq, voters prefer McCain over Clinton. Clinton sought to tie McCain to the Bush administration. CNN polling reported Clinton won the debate overall by a margin of 54-35.

Vice presidential debate (Washington University in St. Louis)



Analysis: Analysis: Palin spoke in greatest depth about energy policy while Bayh spoke in greatest depth about foreign affairs. Bayh refrained from criticizing Palin, concentrating his criticisms on McCain. While Palin offered brief criticism of Bayh, she concentrated most of her criticism on Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. Polls suggested that 50% thought Senator Bayh won the debate, 21% thought Governor Palin had won, and 33% thought it was a tie.

October 7: Second presidential debate (Belmont University – Nashville townhall)

Analysis: Clinton bashed Mccain for his connections with the bush administration and Mccain had a stubbly response. CNN's poll conducted after the debate found that 54% of those surveyed thought that Clinton had won and 30% felt McCain had won.

October 15: Third presidential debate (Hofstra University – Hempstead, New York)

Analysis: During the debate repeated references were made to Joe Wurzelbacher, aka "Joe the Plumber". Wurzelbacher had spoken with Clinton while he was campaigning in Holland, Ohio. Clinton responded saying "under my plan proposed taxes on any revenue from $250,000 on down would stay the same, but that amounts above that level would be subject to a 39 percent tax, instead of the current 36 percent rate". People responded heavly for Senator Clinton by 60-29 Percent. Mccains attacks on Clinton didn't help him with Independent or Women Voters.
