Who won the debate?

[Likely Voter]

I imagine Dems and undecideds will call it an Obama win, with GOPers calling it for Romney. Overall it is an Obama win but not as big as Romney's first debate win. Hard to say how it will work out in the polls but I suspect that Obama will get a small bump

[Yank2133]

Obama was outstanding tonight.

[President von Cat]

That last line from Obama I think won it.

Yes, the closing statement was perfect.

"The GI Bill was not a handout, it advanced the future of this country."

This debate was a clear Obama win.

[Sbane]

Obama clearly won.

[Keystone Phil]

A draw

But what will SNL make fun of? Hard to say. Maybe the heated exchanges and talking over each other

[Cryptic]

Obama win

[Joe Biden is your president. Deal with it.]

But what will SNL make fun of? Hard to say. Maybe the heated exchanges and talking over each other

I'd like to see them get into a fist fight on SNL

[The Vorlon]

Obama, easily, though certainly not by as much as Romney won the first debate.

Flash polls will probably be something like 50-35.

^^^^^^

Pretty close I think

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Obama won... pure and simple.

However, Obama was very strong early, he faded a bit in the middle, but roared back and that Libya response was devastating.

I probably would have called it an Obama edge before the Libya exchange, but I have to call it a clear Obama win.

[LiberalJunkie]

Obama and I'm sooo relieved.

[Frodo]

Just imagine where this race would be today had Obama debated like this in Denver....

Nice!

Didn't watch it, but the responses here make it clear enough.  Of course Obama's polling bump if any will be much less than Romney's was as there is a different underlying condition, but a win will probably arrest any further erosion at the present - +2 Obama, winning OH-WS-NV.

I would have thought Obama had a bit bigger advantage.... But a narrow Obama win was roughly the way I saw it....

Somebody guessed 50-35 which was more or less how I saw it.....

[technical support]

You know for sure when a Democrat wins because the pundits(repubs) try to call it a draw.

[Frozen Sky Ever Why]

Can't wait for the pathetic spin by O Reilly and others blaming the moderator for this debate. Obama has proven himself to the American people.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

"Can you say that a little louder, Candy?"

[Lief 🗽]

Obama won by more than I ever hoped he could, basically.

[Eraserhead]

Thanks to Libya, an Obama landslide.

If the Libya exchange hadn't happened, it would have been a pretty solid Obama win. Not a blowout though.

I really hope they pack it up and don't say sh**t.


Romney might be the least free trade candidate since Ross Perot. He capitulates the argument on that and the Second Amendment, which infuriated me.

[J. J.]

When either party attacked, that party's numbers went down.  Obama was more aggressive, but not by a lot.

Romney did better with outlining policy.  Obama was far better with the rhetoric. 

It won't stop Obama's slide.  If he had actually outlined policy, I think he would have won.
